Another Tangle-up on Thanksgiving—
Nelson and Krastning Frame up To
Walk off- With Claim of Dead Man.
George Krastning and Nick Nel
son, on Thanksgiving creek, are no
longer the bosom friends they were.
The reasons just came in from Glen
by a late arrival. It is all over
claim No. 2 above. The claim is
proving a good producer.
Krastning staked the claim by
power of attorney for his partner
J. H. Pappe, since deceased. After
the creek began to show up, Krast
ning, so it is said, went to Nick
Nelson and told him to restake the
claim; he (Krastning) would say
nothing—but Nick Nelson could
cut it in two with him Nelson^
agreed and went to work crosscut
ting the claim. He located pay
and all things looked most favora
ble for the two conspirators.
At this juncture Krastning got
suspicious of the gooi faith of Nel
son and went to M. S. Gill, who at
his request drew up a bill of sale
for Krastning’s half as agree i on.
When Krastning asked Nelson to
execute the deed, the latter refused
point blank, saying he owned the
claim and was going to keep it. j
The two men during all this time j
had entirely overlooked the fact j
that the Pappe estate was being j
administered upon and now it is;
reported the administrator, C. B. j
Allen, is looking into the matter
with ayview to carrying off the
bone of contention as property of
the estate, which may put both
Krastning and Nelson in an em
barrassing position.
Sam Heeter has brought suit
against Jim Carpenter for a freight
bill amounting to $177.71 r less an
offset oi $8. Carpenter contracted
• the indebtedness while running 47
roadhouse last winter.

WATKR FAILING ON GLEN
C. A. Davidson came in from
Glen Thursday. He reports the
Glen district in great straits for
water. M. S. Gill, on Shirley bar,
hasjt>een compelled to shut down
on account of lack of water. Gill
had just reached some exceptionally
good ground. Chas. Towle has
located the rich piece on his claim
adjoining Shirley bar, but water
again is lacking. The Eagle Min
ing Co. will try and ruu a ditch
from upper Seattle to bring water
on 2a. A prior survey showed that
the grade would not allow the
ditch to strike this high on Glen,
but the Eagle company believe by
going higher on Seattle they cau
accomplish it. .
NEW ADMINISTRATOR
Chas. K. Bircbler has resigned as
administrator of the Haven estate
and has been succeeded by Pete
Kalning.; BirCh ler says be is too
busy to attend to the matter, and
also that the estate is insolvent. It
has been noted that the rapidity
with which the available assets of
the estate have been turned into
money has not been equaled here
tofore in Rampart. Rumor hath it
that this is due to the action of
Chas. B. Allen, who has applied to
the former wife of the deceased to
represent her son in the estate.
Allen claims Haven’s son to be en
titled to two-thirds of theestate,
which Birchler now states is insol
vent.
