A GRAND ISLAND CASE.
Judgment for the Defendants in tn
Hensley-Parvin suit.

Judgment for the Defendants in the
Hensley-Parvin suit.
The case of W. L. Hensley VS.. e. R.
and Eliza Parvin, which had been on
trial in Judge Catlin's court for three
days, was concluded yesterday, and re-
suited in Judgment for the defendants.
w. NJ. Sims was counsel for the plaintiff
and Armstrong, Bruner q PIatnauer for
the defendants.
The suit was over disputed lease to a
portion OF the Parvin ranch on Grand
Island. Last spring Hensley rented cer-
tain tracts for term of five years, and
each party to the transaction held a copy
of the lease. When Hensley undertook
to cultivate particular tract the Parvins
elected him on the ground that that por-
ton of the land was not embraced in the
lease. Hensley held that it was, and pro-
duced his copy of the lease in proof
thereof, but it was found that the copy
held by the Parvins differed from his in
this respect.
There was considerable oral testimony
introduced in support of both sides of the
controversy, but that on Hensley's part
being of less positive character than the
other, Judge Catlin rendered judgment
against Hensley.

BOXER FOX.
He Speaks in the Highest Terms of
Young McGraw.

Referring again to the faxed interview
in the CaLt, in which Fox, the Oakland
amateur feather-weight boxer was quoted
as saying most uncompiimentary things
of young McGraw of this city, the fol-
ing from the Oakland Tribune is of in
terest:
champion Fox is indignant over an
interview accredited to him III this morn
ing's Coll, for in it he is quoted as saying
that McGraw was an easy game at the
Olympic Club tournament, and that he
could have put him to sleep at any mo-
ment he so desired.
"'This is not so,' said Fox this morn
ing. 'In the first place, have not been
interviewed by the Call, and then, again,
l have never made any such comment re-
garding McGraw. ON the contrary,
have the highest opinion of the Sacra-
mento mans fistic ability. He gave me
the hardest fight of the tournament and
kept me on the go all the time. He is a
game, clever fighter, and the greatest
credit that l take to myself in connection
with the championship is that bested as
able man as he is.
"'Now, as regards the challenge just
issued, I wish to state that | will meet
McGraw at 122 pounds. 1t may be little
light for him, but it is really concession
on my part, for he is in a heavier class
than Che one to which / by rights be-

Buckley yesterday for stealing tent
from Neary & Flaherty. The evidence
showed that he was employed by them tc
bring up to their place two tents belong
ing to man named Clifton, who owed
the firm for board and transferred the
tents and other property to them for Sc
curity. They found out that Garrison
took the smaller tent TO Sherman's stable
and sold it. selling some other things at
other places.
Garrison swore that the performers in
the show, Clifton having gone away to
San Francisco, claimed to own the small
tent, and wised to sell it to get money to
get out of town. They asked him to sell
it for them. and he acted as their agent in
the matter and sold it for them.
He was found guilty and ordered to ap-
pear for sentence to-day.
