Answer Filed In
Suit Over Land

Damages resulting from his forced
eviction from ranch near Braw-
ley should more than cover the
amount of rent cwed at the time
he was evicted, Joe Haviland con-
tended this morning in an answer
and cross-complaint to the COM
plant of H B. Griffin.
While Griffin, in his complaint,
asked only $l428 as the amount of
rent due, Havilands cross-com-
plant asked $4,000 damages, less the
amount due for rent.
The answer admitted that Hav-
iland has rot paid state, county or
Imperial Irrigation District taxes,
and admits that $1428 is due as
rent.
1t charges, however, that Griffin
went contrary to law in forcibly
evicting Haviland by blowing under
80 acres of alfalfa. without Hav-
Hands permission. Griffin con-
tinues 70 withhold, unlawfully, pos
session of the property, according
to the cross-complain.
