when range feuds' between the sheep-

The title of the case Is Koueher
versus Keller and it is a case in which
Isaac Koueher is contesting a home
stead claim of Ray Keller. '
Koueher Is a sheep herder employed
by Charles Johnson, a pioneer sheep-'
man of the Pilot Rock country. Ke.
ler is the son In law of Charles Man

part of the country.
Johnson and Manning were both
contenders for possession of the Ogil-

several years ago. Johnson outbid his
rival and secured the ranch. This al
so resulted in Johnson having posses
sion of practically all of the land In
the upper part of the California gulch
section.
One of the places net owned by
Johnson but aSnost. entirely su
rounded by his land or land leased by
him was a piece of land upon which
Keller was living as a homesteader.

claim against Johnson lor trespass
