DISPUTE OVER SPRING Court Decides That it Should be Included in Purchase of Farm Holding that the plaintiff is entitled to the spring on farm as part of the farm which he agreed to purchase from the defendants, Judge Fuller yesterday found in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Fred W. Hashagen against Albert C. Keal and his father William Keal for a farm in Butler Township. The defendant, William Keal is directed to pay the costs.

The case was unusual. Plaintiff and defendants entered into an agreement for the sale of the latter's farm in Butler Township. When the deed was offered it did not include a spring on the farm, and plaintiff brought suit to compel that the spring 1 be made a part of the farm und included in the deed. In disposins of the case Judge Fuller rules in part as follows: "The pivotal fact in the case is that William kcal, the father, being the real owner in apparent possession of the entire property. having legal paper title to the spring, and being clothed by Albert the son with power to sell the legal paper title to the rest, made a written agreement purporting to sell the whole including the spring to the plaintiff who believed, and excusably believed, that he was buying the whole, would not have bought otherwise, and on faith of this belief did buy went into possession which he has since maintained.

"William Keal was ostensibly selling the entire property in the name of Albert Keal, while he concealed the fact of his own title to the spring, a bit of sharp practice which equity ought to circumvent if possible."
