Humuula Sheep station. The lease was
for u years from September 81, 1906,
and offered at auction, on January p,
1905, by Commissioner Pratt at an up
set rental of $500 a year. A. A. Wilder,
attorney for Brown, was the purchaser
at $3.50 a year after lively bidding.

presented to him and still declines to
sign il. Hence the suit.
