AGAINST FRANK DAVIS
AND WIFE.
Claims They Ousted and Elected Him
From His Land in Blue Creek
Section.

George M. Wickersham, the well
known Blue creek farmer, wants to re-
gain possession of a piece of land To-
Gated in section z township 6, range
SO, which he claims is being illegally
withheld from him, and has filed a suit
in the superior court naming Frank
Davis and Nellie M. Davis as defend
ants. In the complaint he alleges that
he is the owner of the land in ques-
ton and that on January 8, 1902, the
defendants unlawfully entered upon
the premises, took possession of the
same, and ousted and elected the plain
tiff. He further alleges that they are
still unlawfully in possession of the
land and are withholding possession
from him. Wickersham estimated
that the rents, issues and profits of the
land and timber cut from the same
since January 8, 1902, are $125 and he
asks for a judgment against the de-
PENDANTS and a decree in favor Of the
plaintiff for restitution Of possession
of the premises, $500 damages, 1925
for rents, issues and profits and the
costs and disbursements in the action.
