Court voids Santa Fe purchase contract over homestead rule
In Topeka district court Judge Hazen ruled in favor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company in a Downey vs. Santa Fe case over a land purchase tied to a homestead. The contract, signed during a land dispute on a tract between Ekehth and Ninth streets, was invalid because Mrs. Dunn did not consent to transfer of the homestead. The decision held the agreement void and may be appealed. The suit centers on a $20,685 appraised land value and rental disputes during railroad construction.
