Took Possession of House.

Last Saturday while Clabe Trip
lett, residing near the Jake Williams
place west of this city, was absent
at Merlin his home was entered and
taken possession of by a man named
Reynold johnson. Nearby neigh
bors noticed the man on the premises
Sunday and telephoned to the city
marshal. Marshals McGrew and
Mclean went to the place and ar
rested him, he making some resist
ance so that force had to be resorted
to to bring him to the city He
claimed that the neighbors had given
him permission to stay in the house.
1t Is believed that Johnson is slight

The only way home seekers have of
