J. G. FLYNN IN A MINING SUIT
Duluth Herald: J. c. Flynn, c.
4. Bradley and E. L. Bradley have
filed answers in district court to the
complaint of George R. Laybourn,
who is suing them for certain rights
to mineral lease of land in st.
Louis county, which the defendants
secured from -the state land Office,
Jan. 5th, and demanding to be re-
leased
Denial is made that Mr.. Flynn and
associates have knowledge sufficient
to constitute belief concerning the
rights and allegations of Mr.. Lay
bourn.
The lease issued by the state audi.
tor covered the southeast quarter of
section 1857, and ran to o. W. Syl.
vester of this city, dated April 10,
1901. Because Mr.. Sylvester failed to
pay his annual ipstallment of 800,
the state auditor notified him last
October that unless tho money was
paid the lease would be forfeited.
Mr.. Lavbourn alleges that before
the payment was made, or the days
Of grace had elapsed, the state audi.
tor entertained the application made
by Mr.. Flynn and his associates, and
later issued them the lease.
1t Is alleged that another applica-
tion made for the lease, q few hours
later, Oct. I'd, was refused.
Mr.. Laybourn claims to have made
application for the lease, Nov. 12th.
and he contends his application is
the only one made in conformity
with the law after the time expira-
tion for Sylvester to pay up or loose
his lease.
Mr.. Flynn and his associates main.
tain the lease ia valid, and In thie
they have been upheld by the state
auditor.
