Guernsey, D. S. Rosenbaum and P. B. Fras Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank were com- promised out of court to-day. Richards is reported to have received $15,000 from the defendants and each side is to pay half of the costs of court. The suits grew out of a land transac- tion' in.1891, when J. F. Moseley, then County Recorder, bonded himself to pur- chase the Sargent tract of 14,000 acres for $300,000. He had to sell the tract to en- able him to buy it. This he did at $75 per acre, taking part in cash and part in other land in. payment. Fraser, Rosen- baum and Guernsey bought 3000 acres, Fresno, Butte and Stanislaus counties, This they sold to R. Moll, W. H. Rhodes and L. A. Richards, according to their contention, and Richards received 750 acres. Richards clalmed that this latter was passed to him as his division of the partnership, that it was represented to him that it cost $75 per acre and he took it at that basis, whereas it cost plaintiffs but §35 per, acre. he v Richards further set up, in his demand or an accounting, that he bore his full portion of the alleged. partnership obliga- He also alleged that he had been selling of the land, while Rosenbaum, Fraser and Guernsey claimed that he had not. The dispute as to whether the alleged partnership existed in 1893 led in 189 to Richards suing Rosenbaum, Guernsey and Fraser for an accounting as a partner. Judge Jones twice decided in favor of the defendants .and the ‘Supreme Court sent the case back for a new trial. The suit of Richards against the Farmers’ and stockholders are the defendants in the other sult, was begun by Richards to, re- cover $16,000 which he alleged he had de- posited in the bank in 189, and for which he claimed he had not received credit. The $15,000 settlement covers both suits. Depot Work Progresses Rapidly. VALLEJO, Dec. 16.—At South Vallejo depot. work is being pushed forward on the new ferry slip. Fifty men are work- ing.
