 Marshal Hasey went to Virgin bay Tuesday. on the Perry, which was chartered for the occasion. to arrest w. Heidorn, who is charged with selling property under false rretenses. It appears from the plaintiffs charge that Mir. Hcidorn sold him some mining property. on the understanding that it was free from all incumbrance or lien. It has since developed that Heid- orn had previously transferred one half interest in the property to Lotty Kramer. The case will be tried before Judge Lyons.
