plication of Lorrin Andrews in the case
of j. NJ. McChesney VS.. Waikiki Land
and Loan Association and Geo. H.
Paris as treasurer. Upon the hearing
of the case originally Paris failed to
appear though he was represented by

informed that sheep were being taken
from the ranch without authority, but
that he had not attributed this act to
Mr.. Pain or any one person in particu
