The question o f clearing the property o f this encumbrance because of this occupancy by Mr. Manhard has been given consideration and under date September 9 Mr. Leo A* McHamee wrote Mr. Bracken in part as fo llo w s: ®Inasmuch as John Manhard has liv e d in his shack, located upon the company’ s property, fo r more than fiv e years, which is our statutory lim ita­tion fo r the recovery o f real property, and inasmuch as i t would cost from #50*00 to $75.00 to move this shack o f f the railroad property, in case we got a court order to that e ffe c t, which amount we would be unable to recover from Manhard owing to his finan­c ia l condition, I suggest and recommend that, i f Manhard w ill agree to move o ff, you pay him the cost o f moving, say #50.00. I f he consents to this, you might have him c a ll at the o ffic e and I w ill prepare the necessary papers.® In a la te r le tte r , dated September 10, he advised Mr. Bracken that Manhard had agreed to move o f f the property for a consideration o f $50.00, and had executed a quit claim deed. The arrangement had my approval and I am now enclos­ing to you herewith copy o f Mr. Bracken’ s le t t e r to me Sept­ember 12, together with the deed to the property, also b i l l in amount #1.85 covering the f i l i n g and recording fe e .
