In a letter sent by a prospective purchaser to the owner of real property an inquiry was made concerning the price asked for it; the writer of the letter afterward sent a telegram in which he offered $4,250 for the property. The owner answered by telegram stating that he would accept $4,350. A telegram was sent accepting the proposition of the owner, and instructing him to make a deed in blank and send it and the abstract to a bank in Garden City with directions to deliver on payment of the money. A deed, executed in blank and forwarded to the bank in Garden City, contained a reservation of all mineral and oil rights. The prospective purchaser refused to accept the deed with that reservation. Held, that there was no contract for the purchase and sale of the real property.</p>
