According to the story told by
Rheams and Randall, Hatch, the
youngest Of the trio, was q ring leader
and it was he who planned the
robbery and did most of the work iu
carrying it out. Hatch does not deny
this, and he is extremely vindictive
because his partners in crime con

LAND CONTEST.
Involving Title TO Valuable Quarter
Section OF Timber.

Involving Title to Valuable Quarter
Section OF Timber.
The case OF Charles Kinsolving VS.
John Shannon is being tried at the
land Office today. The case is in
the nature of a contest and the land
involved is situated in section town
ship A north range east.
The charges preferred by Kin
solving in his affidavit are serious as
well as sensational. 1t was filed on
July 16, 1907, and in it Kinsolving
charges Shannon with having entered
into an agreement prior to his entry
for the land with one William Nc
Carter, whereby he agreed to con-
vey a half interest in it to him, and
that this agreement is made a matter
of record with the auditor of Sho-
shone county.
The further charge is made in the
affidavit that Shannon after making
final proof for the land and receiv-
ing his final receipt conveyed the
land to one Joseph Shannon, who 1t
is alleged, conveyed 1t to Roy Lem
mers and the McGoldrick Lumber
company. The affiant then alleges
that the money paid the United
States for the land was furnished by
parties with the understanding that
they should receive a part of the
consideration received by Shannon
from the sale of the land to Lemmers
and the McGoldrick Lumber COM
pany. The afiant alleges that ac-
cording to his information and be-
lief the sum paid for the land by the
McGoldrick Lumber company
amounted to $4,000, and that Shan
