He tossed his cloak over the saddle
and walked toward the inn. The size
of the place and the great number of
people going and coming surprised
him, but in the numbers he saw his
own security, and he walked boldly up
tile steps of the main hotel entrance.
He stepped INTO the long corridor of
the inn. where many people lounged
about and heard with keen satisfaction
and relief the click of a telegraph in
strument that seemed ut once to bring
him into contact with the remote
world. He filed his kilograms and
walked the length of the broad hall,
his riding crop under his arm. The
gay banter and laughter of group of
young men and women just returned
from IL drive gave him a touch of heart
ache, for there was a girl somewhere
in the valley whom he had followed

Armitage had lifted his hat and passed
out, tapping his leg with his crop.
He walked toward the private houses

Biz Tract of Land Involved.
Neyad Mail

Nevad Mail
A big land suit was tried. before
Judge Thurman at ElDorado Springs
Friday which involved about &c.,
600 worth OF real estate. The suit
was brought by Jason Campbell
against Chas. NJ. Howard to quiet
the title to the land.
Judge Thurman's decision was
favorable to the plaintiff. The de-
fendsnt appealed the case to the su.
preme court.
1t seems that the heirs who sold
the land years ago only had a life IN
terest and that when this ceases the
land is to revert to Jason Campbell
according to the decision OF Judge
Thurman. A number OF warranty
deeds have been made during recen,
years the land title passing last to
Chas. NJ. Howard who bought the
land from a man named Sweigar,
who may lose a large amount as BIZ
gave Howard a warranty deed. Ii
seemed that an abstract to the land
showed a clear title instead OF life
interest.
