Statesmen have branded as "mpos

France and Britain, but they havft1 ad

and Lloyd-George regarding Germany.
I'riand has been warned that his cabi

to cut the bill of fifty-five billion dol

Files Homestead Contest.
The land contest In which testimony
Is now being taken in the federal
court room Is an echo of the days j
when range feuds' between the sheep-
Inan and the homesteader were the i
rule Instead of the exception.
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
ning, a pioneer rancher of the same
part of the country.
Johnson and Manning were both
contenders for possession of the Ogil-
vy ranch in California gulch follow
ing the murder of Mr. ami Mrs. Ogilvy
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
