The petition of William B. Preston, r.
T. Burton and John r. Winder, in behalf
of the defendants and the intervenors in
the suit respectfully shows;
That in re-letting the sheep now in the
hands of the receiver, due regard should be
had to the probability that decision will
be rendered by the federal supreme court
at an early date at its next session-ulti-
mately the right to said sheep. Should
said decision be in favor of the defendants
or intervenors they would be entitled and
would desire the immediate possession of
said sheep. If such sheep are let to the
petitioners any inconvenience resulting
| from such decision will be avoided. On the
other hand, if the decision is averse to the
defendants, petitioners are ready to give
ample security for the delivery of the
sheep to the proper parties entitled thereto
at the termination of contract or lease.
| Petitioners offer, in consideration of the
use, increase of and wool from said sheep.
| to receive. care for and hold said sheep un
til the lst day OF September, 1890, and pay
therefor ut the rate of 25c. per head and at
the time last aforesaid return the same
number of sheep received AID in as good
condition, and to give security to the salts
faction Of the court and for the fulfillment
of the agreement. Very truly.
