Court Denies ReEaearilfg in
Downing VS.. KmieEitsn Case

The Montana supreme court Fri
day denied the petition of F. B
Downing for a rehearing in his sui;
against G. E. Crippen, Gladys Grip
pen and DR.. F.. M. Knierim.
The action stems out of a con-
troverSy involving the Glasgow
tourist camp and service station
property on Second avenue north
now owned by the Farmers Union
Oil company.
Crippen had purchased the prop
erty from Downing. To improve the
property, Crippen later borrowed
money from DR.. Knierim. Still lat

ing, returned the property to Down
ing with the understanding Down
ing would pay all accounts against
the new super service station cree
ted ON the premises. This Downing
refused to do after taking possess
sion of the property.
After taking possession of the
property, Downing purchased from
BenZien e. Sons, local contractors,
a mechanics lien against the prop
erty and commenced action to fore
close the lien. In the suit, Down.
ing named DR.. Knierim as a party
claiming an interest in the prem
ises inferior to the rights of the
lien.
DR.. Knierim countered with the
claim that Downing was to have
paid the lien as a part of his un-
derstanding with Crippen when
Crippen surrendered the property
to him.
The issues were determined in
favor of DR.. Knierim when the case
was tried here before Judge John
Hurry in the early fall of 194f.
Downing appealed to the supreme
court from the local courts deci-
sion and the case was argued be-
fore the supreme court last March
l. The court handed down its opin-
ion May 10 in which it affirmed
the judgment by Judge Hurry. 1t
was then that Downing petitioned
for a rehearing,, which vas refused
by the court last week.
Downing was represented by
George w. Farr of Miles City, while
DR.. Knierim was represented by
James T. Shea and c. H. Roberts

that more poultry is most vital

He walked down the cinder
platform and inspected the labels
on two milk cans, waiting on a
truck.
And just then, with a howl of
tires, a car swung up to the sta
ton and skidded to a stop. AIDE
laide jumped out and came run

head, her purse Tapping open, a
white, frantic look on her face.
"Gary-wait!" She dashed up

He drove too fast, with his jaw
set and his eyes like hot irons
burning in his head. The tires
squealed and gravel flew when
he turned into the driveway of
Oliver KimpalPs house and stop
ped with a jerk.
He jabbed the doorbell savage
ly four or five times, and then
Grace came to the door, trailing
a pink negligee. "Oh-you," she
said unpleasantly. What do you
want?"
Il want Kimball," Gary said
brusquely. Tell him to come
out here. He has a few things
to say to Harvey Mason-and he's
going to say them noW!"
He pushed past Grace into the
house, and Grace gave little
frantic shrek. "Oliver!"
Oliver Kimball came from the
rear of the house. What do you
want, Tallman?" he demanded.
81 want you. You're coming to
Mason's with me-now."
I'm not going to be bullied in

drawn back. Get out of here,
Tallman-and don't come back"
"You asked for it," Gary drew
back faulty and clipped him on
the side of the face. divers
arms failed out wildly, but his
legs wobbled under him and he
went down on his knees.
Half carrying the dazed man,
Gary got him into the car and
slammed the door, backed out
swiftly, ignoring the frenzied
shrieks of Grace at the door.
Kimball mumbled wrathfully,
then slumped in a corner, his
head in his hands, while Gary
! drove like a mailman back to the
Mason ranch. Harvey came out,
looking bewildered as he saw Oh

and snapped the lock. He heard

that Grace had taken her hus-
bnd home. After a little wait he
picked up the suitcase and went
downstairs.

moment came.
Slowly, into the black, silent
hole, the shot went down. The
men around the derrick stood
like dark statues, tense, forget
ting to breathe. Gary found him
self swallowing hard, and hot,
tight pain gripped his jaw. ,Hick-
ey looked now, in the weird half
light, like some god from the I'M

And then suddenly he yelled,
and the men jumped clear, brac-

of the battery went down.
Far below, there was a rumble
and hiss-and after that a thin
nish bubbling confusion as if a
million devils had been disturbed
in their subterranean cave. And
then Hickey's yell cut the air
like a flash of flame.

The miracle had happened.

Gary and Mona Lee stood looking
at each other bit numbly.
Mona Lee said, Gary, I just
knew somehow that you'd bring
us luck"
Don't give me any credit, Mrs.

Hickey who hung on. And you
