David R'.chey, Auguttut Harlje, and Batemao Goe, Impleaded with A, rTageforth and D. B. Crown. Plaintiff claims that defendants obtained a deed of the farm from him by fraudulent representation!. In opening the case for plaintiff, hit counsel gave a history of the case, dnriog which he ; elated that tbe plaintiff expected to establish ihe following allegations; Mr.. Story the original owoor, it how about terenty.teven years of tge. Soon after Colonel Drake discovered oil, there wat a rush to Oil Creek, and among tbe prospectors there were the defendants, and on the first of April, 1SG0, tbey drew out a contract, by which Story, who owned S0U acres, wat to get $20,000 for hit Itrm, $10,000 more if one tea barrel well wat ttruck, $1,000 uiore if a tecond ten barrel well wat ttruck, and one-fourth of the oil 'rom one good well. Tbe contract wat to have ayear to run, they paying down a por tion of the price. In April, 18G1, be start ed from bit then residence, Enenango, to tee about tbe fulfillment of tbe contract, and met Mr. C. E. Taylor, an attoroey, who bad drawn and been entrusted wilb keeping tbe original contract, who induced him to re turn, to sign tbe deeds. Slory got at far as Cherrytree, within three miles ef his farm, but waa induei'd to go to Franklin to meet the defendants, who represented the farm was "dry diggings, " and only Vdluable for agricultural purposes, and stated that tbey would only (ire $20,000 for it, or wou1 throw up tbe eoutract. That, under the I id. presslon that it was Don-productive ol oil, he signed the deeds, aod did not learn il wa s valuable oil territory until four yea ra afterwards.
