Description
The subject matter of this action is a tract of land known as Werginz Meadows, approximately 1,820 acres purchased by plaintiff Watson and defendant Barnard in 1951. Plaintiff Page 77 had leased same and lived on it since 1943 and used it as the base of a cattle operation in the South Phillips Cooperative State Grazing District. At the time of purchase (each paying equal amounts) plaintiff continued to live on the tract and continued his cattle operation and made the same payment as he had prior to purchase — 1/4 hay crop — excepting he paid Barnard. After the purchase plaintiff acquired other lands through lease or purchase. Differences arose between the parties; in 1965 the parties divided the tract, plaintiffs to become sole owners of about 936 acres and defendant Barnard and his daughters, Mrs. Arnott and Mrs. Koss, of about 886 acres. A controversy as to the values of the respective tracts and water rights resulted in the parties executing a typewritten agreement, duly acknowledged. Attached to the typewritten agreement was a handwritten agreement signed by the parties, submitting the controversy as to value to a board of arbitrators.
