«/b»Land Litigation Decision Affirmed - Demurrer Sustained in Action Brought in Calaveras Superior Court
The action of the Calaveras Superior Court in sustaining the demurrer of E.J. Bradlock, one of the defendants in the suit of John T. Womble vs. Alexander M. Womble, et al was affirmed by a decision handed down by Justice Burnett of the Third District Court of Appeals today.  The appeal origination in an action brought by John Womble, who sought to have a deed set aside that was given to Alexander Womble.

John alleged that Alex promised and contracted on receiving a deed that he would build a home of ten rooms on the  480 acres of land involved which the families of other men could share, would put in ?? acres of grain, otherwise improve the property and develop the Pine Lon Lode, a mine on the property, sharing half the profits with John, who assumed no obligations.  When Alexander deeded the property to Bradlock, John, whose profits were thereby cut off, tried to set aside the deed he had given.  He attacked its validity on the grounds that Alexander had not fulfilled the requirements of the contract since he had not properly divided the property.
