The Lenzburg ,Chrichton Oil and
Gas Company, incorporated has filed
suit in the Shreveport district court
against H. f., ]. W., w. s., H. and
Herbert Atkins for judgment rescind-
ing contract of May 4. 1915, where
by the petitioners purchased large oil
and gas leases on lands in Bienville,
Webster, Red River and Boss;er
parishes, paying therefor the sum of
$4,000, of which $4,000 was paid by
a promissory note Of June 9, 1915, pay
able by May l, 1916. with 8 per cent
interest, the remainder Of the price
being paid by the issuance of $50
shares Of capital stock. the certificates
being issued to ]. w. Atkins at a
value Of $4,000 par value.
1t is alleged that at the time Of the
sale and transfer to petitioners Of the
lease contracts, the defendants had
already preached contracts with their
respective lessons on the lands in Bos-
sier, 1905 acres, by failure to comply
with certain contractural require
ments, thus FORGETTING the contracts,
annuling title to the leases and Great
ing q paramount outstanding title IN
the original lessons, amounting to an
eviction of petitioners, who claim
that at the time of their transaction
with Messrs. Atkins they were not
aware that defendant had neglected
to comply with resolutory conditions.
When petitioners learned this and ten
.dered quarterly payments to the les
sors OF defendants, the lessons refus-
ed payments and denied petitioners
the right to develop. Petitioners claim
that the leases in Bossier are worth
more than those Of the other parishes
combined, and had they known OF the
forfeiture of rights by Messrs. Atkins
they would not have contracted with
defendants. Because of failure to title
to the principal part of the considera
ton, petitioners claim to be entitled
to have the sale and contract Of May
4 rescinded. and to have returned &c
them the $4,000 paid on the deal and
also the $50 shares of stock, and, II
default of return Of the stock, judg
ment for $4,000, the par value of sale
stock.

CHAPTER VIII
MirapoEs

During the strenuous weeks when
Camp NiQuoia's struggling street was
acquiring plank sidewalks and getting
itself transformed into Chigringo ave-
nue., with a double row Of false-fronted
"emporiums" to supplant the shack
shelters, Monsieur Poudrecaulx Bon
gras, late of the San Francisco tender
loin, opened the camps first counter
grill. ~
Finding monsieur's name impossible
in both halves of it, the camp grinned
and rechristened him "Poodles." Later,
discovering his dual gift Of past mas
tership In potato frying and coffee
making, the camp gave him vogue.
Out Of the vogue sprang In swift sue
cession cafe with side tables, res
taurant with private dining rooms, and
presently q commodious hotel, where
the food was excellent, the appoint
ments luxurious, and where Jack
clothed and n his right mind and with
money in his hand--was as good as his
master.
Il was In one Of Bongras' private
dining rooms that Mr.. ]. Wesley Cort-
wright was entertaining Brouillard,
with Miss Genevfeve to make q har-
monizing third ct the circular table.
The little dinner had been a gustatoFy
triumph. Nevertheless, when Miss
Cartwright had gone upstairs, and the
waiter would have redlled his glass;
BrouiIlard shook his head.
