George S. Haskins and Donald Hancock V‪.‬

ERWIN, Justice. OPINION This civil appeal arises out of a judgment of the Superior Court in a trespass and replevin action. Appeal is taken from the judgment awarding Carrie A. Shelden recovery of an Allis Chalmers tractor and $25,000 in punitive damages to be recovered from appellant George Haskins for his conversion and/or wrongful replevin of the tractor. Plaintiff Shelden has filed a cross appeal challenging the trial court's rulings denying her prejudgment interest on the judgment against Haskins, and refusing to award her attorney's fees according to the schedule in Civil Rule 82(a). We affirm the decision of the trial court as to all matters raised except the award of attorney's fees. On that issue, we remand to the trial court for further proceedings. In 1964, appellant George Scott Haskins contacted appellee Carrie A. Shelden about possible acquisition of her interest in a group on lode mining claims located off the Steese Highway near Fairbanks. The claims were held jointly by Shelden and Roudolph and Adolph Better. Shelden agreed to sell her interest in the mining claims for $35,000, taking an Allis Chalmers tractor as part payment of the purchase price. A value of $15,000 was placed on the tractor.
