““Whatever is notice enough to excite attention, and put the party on his guard, and call for inquiry, is notice of everything to which such inquiry might have led. When a person has sufficient knowledge to lead him to a fact, he shall be deemed conversant with it.” Kennedy v. Green, 3 Mylne & Keen, 266; Wood v. Carpenter, 101 U. S. 135 , 141, 25 L. Ed. 807 ; Swift v. Smith, 79 Fed. 709 , 713, 25 C. C. A. 154 .”
