 OSCN Found Document:FARMERS' UNION COOP. GIN CO. v. FAIRBANKS MORSE & CO.
CORN, J. ¶1 Fairbanks, Morse and Company brought an action in the district court of Pontotoc county against the Farmers' Cooperative Gin Company for the recovery of damages for the wrongful detention and the usable value of personal property.
It is apparent the gin company withheld the possession of the engine from Fairbanks, Morse and Company, the purchaser thereof, with the idea that by so doing they would be able to effect a more advantageous settlement with the Murry Company on the balance of the debt after the sale of the engine.
The gin company defaulted in the payment of some of the notes and the Murry Company sold the engine at chattel mortgage sale to Fairbanks, Morse and Company of St. Louis, Mo. The sale was made August 10, 1932, just before the ginning season for that year opened.
