F. E. Ellwein and Others v. T. A. Holmes

Action in the district court for Crow Wing county for damages for alleged misrepresentations in connection with a purchase
agreement, which plaintiffs F. E. Ellwein, Rolland Sherman, and H. F. Hamilton entered into with defendants, T. A. Holmes
and Brainerd Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and assigned to plaintiff Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Brainerd. Defendant Brainerd
Coca-Cola Bottling Company counterclaimed for the balance due on the agreement. The case was tried before Arnold C. Forbes,
Judge, and a jury, which returned a verdict for plaintiffs for $1,357 despite the stipulation of the parties that $12,143
was due under the contract. Defendants appealed from an order denying their alternative motion for judgment or a new trial. AUTHOR: KNUTSON
