therein a lien is claimed, and the interest of the owner as far as known

to the lienor.

he furnished or is to furnish materials; or, if the lienor is a

contractor or subcontractor, the person with whom the contract was made.

value thereof, or materials actually manufactured for but not delivered

to the real property and the agreed price or value thereof.

validity of the lien. The notice must be verified by the lienor or his

agent, to the effect that the statements therein contained are true to

his knowledge except as to the matters therein stated to be alleged on
