Warbass stands in adjoining the lot that I leased to Olney and Jones, and another small lot of ground inclosed adjoining the ground upon which said Warbass' saloon is situated, and all other lands that the said E. D. Warbass may claim to hold possession of upon my said pre-emption claim, all of which he refuses to do.

Third. Further, I purpose to show in the present action and issue that the said E. D. Warbass was one of a company that made an effort to organize to disposses me of my claim without compensation. Wherefore I pray this court to grant me $100 for damages and such other relief as the law will give, and all other relief in justice.
