ms FRIDAY, SEPT. 10, 1920 : Che Caspet Daily Cribune STATE PAYS $6,400 FOR ERROR OF LAND OFFICE CLERK: BUYER BIDS $30 ACRE, PAYS ORLY $10] (Special to The Tribune) M5. RO CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 10.—How the error of an attache of the! | ers of the State of Wyoming and A. ‘ Baker as commissioner of public lands of the State of Wyoming, respondents, | in which the court has ordered a writ of mandamus requiring the state to| | ¢ deed to Fitch the east one-half of sec- 1} tion 1-52-76. The court’s finding makes Fitch the gainer, and the school chil: | dren of the state the loser, $20 for each acre of the 320 acres, which Fitch se- cures for one-third of the price he was | = willing to pay for it were it necessary | for him to do so. = a An interesting feature of the case is | 4 that Pitch, unaware that the half-sec- tion had been knocked down to him at $10 an acre, subsequently bid $30.an | aere for it, at which price it was de- }} olared sold to him. When Fitch sub-j i}, sequently discovered that the state's! > agent earlier had déclared the tract sold} | to him at $10 an acte he declined to} | proceed with the §$30-an-icre deal and! | demanded that the land be transferred! | to him at $10 an acre. The state land! commissioner declined to make the} ie ance of the supreme court to compel} the state to live ance of his §$10-an-ncre offer. 80. The sale at Which the error so costly to the state wakb, perpetrated, took place at Gillette, December 6, 1918. Fitch previously had petitioned the state to| © offer the cast one-half of Section 1-52- 76 for sale and had gone through the formalities required to guarantee that if it were offered for sale he would pay for. it at least the minimum price of} $10 un acre, these formalities includ- € ing the payment by Fitch of the costs) incidental to advertising the land for sale. On the date previously mentfoned lands in Campbell County were offered | for sale at public auuction at the court! house at Gillette. A dist of the lands) to be offered for sale to the highest bidders was published and prospective! vidders assumed that the parcels of} Hand would be sold in the order in which | they appeared on the list. This assum-| bly was Fitch’s assumption when he eft the scene of the sale temporarily} fore the land in which he was inter-! 4 ted was offered for sale. ‘The at- he of the state land office, how- er, according to her subsequent ,d-| mission, departed’ from the sequerce of the list in offering the parcels for sale | and during the absence of Pitch on sale the half-section in which’ be was interested, There was no bidder) and, in conformity: with the established procedure of the. land office, the 320! acres was announced to have been soid to Fitch at the minimum price of $10] an acre. Subsequencly, after Fitch had returned to the scene.of the sale, the attache of the land office again offered the east one-half of Section 1-} 52-76 to the highest bidder despite the fact that previously she had announced it knocked down to Fitch. Fitch, un-) aware of the earlier procedure, bid for + the land and another bidder also ap-| ne two between them running up to $30 an acre, at which the hal®section was knocked down to! Fitch. Fitch was amazed, after agreeing to} pay $30 an acre for the land, to learn that previously his offer of $10 an acro} had been accepted by the state, and as related, declined to go through with the! $30-an-acre deal. The state land offico| insisted that he be held to tue latter price and refused to transfer the land, at $10 an acre. Fitch, thereupon had recourse to the courts and saved him self $6,400—66 2-3 per cent of the he had been willing to pay for the | if necessary—by a. decision that the in sect 5 ate must abide by} the consequences to which the error of its agent had committed It. | et \ Tribune want ade give results. 2 eRe aati MOTHER” sfe d Fi -| QUENTS—Mrs. BE. eneter aud, Tit peat et eee ll ae. bedae hed adviser in the juvenile court of San Francisco. up to she contract) justice with which had been created by the accept:/ cases bef The | ix that of court has ruled that the state must do} cisions are passed by a regular Judre. | SE Se Se eee ns of Chic Fownes, Jr., of national amateur See that he supplies you with CANE only for making preserves, jams and| Jellies. ee It ig predicted that within ten years! ments, this haif-section, and other state school| Canada will be producing at least 2,000,- 000 ton: ‘One: quarter pound for.
