Leavenworth, Kan, May Isl. II.
Orr and Peter Kern, rival claimants
for tenancy, are now in joint although
not peaceable, possession OF the Wnlte-

to a true, however, until Judge oscar
Raines of the district court OF Oska-
loosa decides who is the r1ghtful
tenant.
Kern leased the farm from Mrs.
Gertie Watson, one of the Whlteley
heirs, and he says his tenure does not
expire until next March, while OFT
rented the place from r. G. Mctar-
land, receiver for the Whiteley estate
in Leavenworth county. Kern refused
to yield to Orr and began proceedings
in the district court here.
But the court was slow and, as corn
planting time was slipping by fast,
both farmers were anxious to begin
work Both decided simultaneously
not to wait for the court and both be
gan planting corn on the Whiteley
farm at the same time, Kern on one
side of the the field and Orr on the
other. AS Orr drove his corn planter
he was followed by his son armed with
a winchester rifle. He says that Kern
made threats.
Things were beginning to look seri-
drinks and that under his guidance,
he and Kern had agreed to an arm1s-
tice. The corn is planted anyhow and
thew will let the court decide who is to
have the crop.
