"How on earth csn he do that? Whnt grounds has he got for en- joining you against drilling this well?"

"He hasn't my real around: It all." Harvey's neck was swelling again. "It's all a cooked-up mess. and O1 Kimbslls at the bottom of it.

”.Just how is this fellow Ellis going about stopping you on this wall?" Gary asked. "He must have someihinvg that he thinks will stand up in court, or he wouldn't be able in get an injunction or threaten you with one"

"He thinks he's turned up a flaw in this title-title to that piece of pastuic out there that I bought from old Elihu Plummer. back in '28. Slide says he represents one or Pliimmcrs minor heirs."

Hickey. viho had sidled nearer and was irii.nkly listening, spat dis- gustedly. "How could old mm Plummer have a minor heir?" he demanded. 'iPlummetr wasn't never married to nobody."

"A holdup." said Gary, ''old stuff.

i "He did hint that there might be some kind of outside settlement. but what he was most bent on was stopping me from drilling, I could see that.

"Now that will be all for you for this trip, Laurie." his mother said.
