USE OF LISING ALL AROUND

In the Land Selling Case of Sternberg vs. Larsh. In referring to the Larsh-Stern-berg case in issue, The Democrat erroneously gave the title of the case as Larsh vs. Sternberg, when in reality it should have been exactly the reverse. In the settlement of the case the Sternbergs gave Larsh the 40 acres of wheat he had put out on the farm last fall, together with the straw, and pay all of the court costs. A. S. Laßue has sued the Sternbergs for the 110 per acre commission which he would have received had they stood by. the sale made to Larsh, as under his contract with the former he was to have all over $125 per acre that he got for the farm, and the sale to Larsh was at $135 per acre for the 163 acres, which would have given him and Walter Porter, who was also interested in the deal, $1,630. It is said that Laßue’s contract is good that they will be forced to pay this commission as well as the $2 per acre commission to C. J- Dean, who sold the farm to George A. Williams- at $135 per acre, and which sale the Sternbergs wish to stand as they would be getting $8 per acre more for the land than under the sale of the land to Mr. Larsh. However, it would seem that they would have been considerably better oft in a financial way had they stood •by the Larsh sale instead. ’ •
