BYERS V. FEDERAL LAND CO.
3 F.2d 9 (8th Cir. 1924)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is a dispute over the sale of land.
FACTS: Byers (P) entered into a contract to buy land from Federal Land (D). P sued for
cancellation of that contract because P alleged that D made fraudulent statements to P; that
D was the owner of the land, that D was in possession of the land, and that the land was
worth $35 per acre. In fact, the land was worth $15 per acre, but the real estate agents
made that representation and not D. The written contract of sale did not state that D was in
possession of the land and there was no evidence of such a statement by D and in fact the
owner of the land had written P to inform P on numerous occasions that if P performed, the
land would be conveyed as per the contract. D moved to dismiss and the trial court granted
that motion. P appealed.
