 RasmuS stated that Carey has deliberately used a bulldozer, picks and shovels and other means in an attempt to make drainage across claim No. 10 on Dahl Creek, which claim was the property of Rasmus. The adjoining Slaim, No. II on Dahl Creek is owned by Al Carey.
 The dispute arises over the fact that Carey claims drainage rights to his claim through the creekbed and that he claims a verbal agree ment between himself and George Waldhelm, who had a lease on the property in question prior to l940. The case continues through this afternoon
