On one of the farms belonging to
Joshua Rumble near Moran there is a
merry and unusal contest being waged
today. The Lanyon Zinc Company
holds lease on the land which it
claims is still good. Rumble says it
has expired. Yesterday one of Fred
Horizons men hauled two loads OF
derrick material onto the place. That
night Rumble's hired man hauled it
off. This morning Horizons man
hauled it on. That afternoon Rum
ble's man hauled it off. Both men
have good teams, the roads are hard,
and the end of the contest is not in
sight.
