1Opinion of the CourtDunn, J.
Desiring to sell a farm he owned in Minot, the defendant caused it to be offered at auction on July 2, 1920, and the plaintiff became the successful bidder. The terms were, two hundred dollars down, the balance within seven days, unless the owner would put off the latter payment longer. He consented to a total delay of thirty days for the deferred part. Within that time the bidder tendered full payment and demanded a deed, but the owner refused to make the conveyance. The refusal continued until December when there was compliance with a decree for specific performance.
