 This action was taken after the arrival in Holbrook of w. w. Rhea Field Superintendent for the Wind River Company. Mr. Rhea immediately started investiga- ton upon his arrival and discussed the situation with the committee of the District Organization as we'll as with tons had been made the land in question immediately wired his company of his findings, with the recommenda Mr. Glosser and the Wind River Company in thus agree ing to adudcate injustice foisted upon the ocators by Adams has made many new friends for these gentlemen and the company.
 The situation apparently was born by the attempt of Adams to Jump thlS land probably upon unreliable advice to the attitude of the public, and the of the Wind River officials used by him were used without authority from these people,
 Owing to the fact that previous to publication of the local papers last week. telegram had been received from the Wind River Company stating that Adams acting under instructions the fullest publicity given to what appeared to be- at that tme attempt the part of the company to jump claims. It appears that the management of the Wind River company had been mis- informed and gained the impression that locations had been filed on the land in question.
 Under the circumstances The News desires to publicly express the qualification of the people of Hobrook at the prompt recommendation of Mr. Rhea and to commend the intention of the Wind River officials to quit claim this and which action will any suspicion of cloud to the original and valid locations.
 The situation unfortunate and the expressed att ttude of the Wind River company through Mr. Rhea and Mr. Glosser well the telegram above referred to- will gain whatever cooperation may be of any assstance to this company in developing their property in this field
 The News will go more into detail regarding this mat ter in next issue. Cooperation of this kind between those of large interest and the well known intent of the District Organization will be of untold benefit to the field and is only by cooperation that the best results may obtained.
 In conclusion will say that wherever The News is read desire the readers to know that those whose names published in our last weeks issue as claim jumpers, and the Wind River Company have promptly agreed upon receiving the facts in the case qucla to the rghtfu ocaors and thus eliminate any injustice to others which may have been sought by Adams those responsible for his impression This attitude of these gentlemen and of the Wind River Co., will move any odium enormously implied
