, II. In answer to paragraph 4, defendant says that the only possession had by said plaintiff to said land was that of a tenant, that he did not make any improvements of value to anyone except himself, as a tenant on said land, but on the contrary he agreed to make said improvements, and many more which he has failed to make for the use of said land.
III. In answer to paragraph 5, this defendant reiterates paragraph "A" in Subdivision 8 of his answer to the original bill of complaint, and further says that he denies that he ever intended to have incorporated in said lease, made and executed on Sunday, as in said answer stated, the language as quoted in said paragraph 5; that said lease was prepared by his son-in-law, James McDonald, and that when this defendant signed said lease, he supposed that the language used was as he had understood the talk had in reference to this privilege of purchasing said land, which was to the effect that after the two (2) years had expired for which said premises were leased, that if said plaintiff wanted to purchase said property, at that time, he would be willing to sell it to him for the sum named. That he did not read said lease; did not know the language used until it was called to his attention at the time said plaintiff talked with him in relation to the selling of said land to Henry J. Dieckmann, as stated in Subdivision "C" in said paragraph 8 of his said answer in said original bill of complaint.
IV. In answer to the remaining paragraphs of said amended bill of complaint, this defendant says that the allegations therein contained are the same as set forth in said original bill of complaint, and that his answer thereto is the same as stated in his answer to said original bill of complaint, and that he reiterates such answer in full, the same as though he had reincorporated the same in this answer.
V. This defendant further answering said amended bill of complaint denies all and every allegation therein contained not herein answered, as aforesaid and denies that said plaintiff is entitled to the relief or any part thereof in said amended bill of complaint demanded, and prays the same advantage of this answer as if he had pleaded, or demurred to the said amended bill of complaint, and prays that the same be dismissed with his reasonable cost and charges in this behalf sustained.
