last year charged the defendant with
criminal intimacy with Jerry Clifford, but
before he had gone far with it she turned
the tables on him with a cross-complaint
by denying the allegation and accusing
him Of a similar offense with one Fay
Templeton in the Copper block. BY way
of proving what she alleged she secured
q deposition from Edwin Groshell, a wait

various occasions had business in Will

the men had trouble over the use of a
road into the timber near Basin gulch,
