His Unpaid Bills for Labor Cannot Lie

Some fine points in the law govern

few days ago. John wilkins and C..

applied for Il supersedens to stay II
Judgment for S36i9S obtained against
them in the District Court of Clear
Creek county by Jasper Abel, Conrad
Miller and George George, known I'M
der the firm name of Abel Il Co. The
sum of the Judgment was for labor per
formed under contract by Abel X Co.
on the Nesuvius mine, in the Trail Run
mining district.
1t appears that when the contract
was made John Scudder was working
the Nesuvius property under lease
from its owners. Messrs. wilkins and
Allen. Part of the cost of the work
was paid by Scudder. and on his de.
Ginning TO settle for the balance Abel

When the case came up for trial, Will

the grounds that Allen and wilkins
were not priyy to the making of the
contract, as the Nesuvius had temper

Mr. Debs is in full accord with the

slider his party lucky if ii can raise
