Mr. Merrill asserted trying pan? that when the second appraisal was made the report should have been filed with the board before the ap- praisers were allowed to know what the original sale price of the timber was. He argued the board had fur- nished the appraisers with the sale price before they made their report. “The state takes our money for tim- ber at a fair value and then makes us pay the price over again,” he said. Any way you look at it, it is a hold- up.” The board refused to change its stand, and the company agreed to set- tle on the basis of $7 per thousand. The state law says that in case of trespass treble value must be paid, and, therefore, the settlement is not final until the legislature approves it, although the settiement makes double the first appraised value.

Thompson never was on the land, but purchased it on the representation of the land company’s listing, and offered to pay Potter’s expenses to go and view the property before closing the deal. Pot ter failed to do so, but gave Thompson a bill of sale on all his horses, harness and rolling stock. Potter then went to see the land and if possible dispose of it. He found it not as represented, there being more water and sloughs on it than farming land. He ¢om- menced replevin proceedings to recov- er his livery stock, claiming for his cause of action, misrepresentation. The mattér was adjusted by Potter paying Thompson $1,050 and reconvey- ing to Thompson the land he traded, and receiving back his livery stock.
