Denver, Apr. 9.-Adolph Rodell of
Monte Vista has appeared before the

protest against the cancellation of
his lease of land. The cancellation

ing. Rodell maintains that he was
not party to any such transaction.
He says that Russell tried to get
him to help buy out Wertz. but that
he refused to do SO. He does say,
though. that he loaned Russell $3.50
TO give to Wertz. but that it was SIM
ply loan and was not his part of
any contract. He says that Russell
told him what he wanted the $3.50
for.
The board has not reinstated his
