The story that Jackson told Mr..
Shaver was tuat RunyOn, whose
claim east Of Enid is being contested
Oy Jackson, drove up from Enid Mon
day afternoon aud found the latter
at work drilling wheat on a piece Of
ia0d adjoining JacksOu's land three
miles south OF Perth. Runyon ap-
preached Jackson at work in the
field and attempted 10 int.midate
nlm and force him 10 sign a release
to RunyOn's claim. He handed jack
Sun paper and lead pencil and told
nim that be had TO sign the release.
At the same time RunyOn stepped
back distance and placed his hand
on an OminOus looking six-shoOter
which was strapped to his waist.
Jackson aid not want TO sign the
release and he complained to RunyOn
that lie was unable TO make out the
meaning OF the paper and asked him
To explain it. While RunyOn was
reading it over TO him Jackson got
close enough TO grab RunyOn's re-
volver aud scutfle ensued in which
Jackson, who is large and power
fully built man, threw RunyOn down
and took the gun away from him.
Jackson then left the field and Run
yol picked up the release and went
back TO his wagon half mile distant.
RunyOn did not leave the vicinity and
Jackson telegraphed to this place last
night for the Sheriff.
Tuesday morning jackson with two
DelghbOrs drove up from Perth anG
attempted To have warrant sworn
out before the county attorney for
RunyOn'S arrest The warrant was
refused because the evidence against
RunyCn was insufficient to convict.
There We're 10 witnesses TO the affair
except the two principals. From tile
story If one OF the men who came
up Tuesday morning it is learned
Jnat Jackson had filed on RunyonS
Gain and entered Il contest through
advice furnished by a relative who
lives near the RunyOn Claim in Okla
hOma. 1t seems that RunyOn had
not been living on his land as reQuir-
Ell By law and Jackson jumped it.
Tue and is under cultivation and is
said to be valuable. The contest has
been tried in court, but the decision
has not been made yet.
RuUyon Sa! ; that he did not attempt
t. iutimidate Jackson, and that he
had gvne TO him merely for the pur-
pose Of affecting a peaCeble settle
ment. He says that he offered Jack
son S15 TO release his right to the
claim. Jackson denies all this and
claims that RuUyon has threatened
TO kill hun. RunyOn was still camping
near JaCkson'S home when the latter
left for Wellington Tuesday morning.
