THE GROVE CASE.

Considerable interest is taken in the
case of the State vs. Samuel Groves,
now on trial in the District Court. The
defendant is charged with sacking ore
alleged to be the property Of w. H..
Baker on the dunn of the Tidal Wave
mine. ia BolivI District. Grove re-
located the mine. and commenced sack
ing the ore on the dump at the time of
the relocation, believing that if he
could hold the mine, he could also hold
the ore. For this he was arrested and
indicted. and is now being tried. He
is an old resident of Lander county,
and his character for integrity and hon.
esty has been testified to by several of
the leading citizens of Battle Mount
ain, who voluntarily came here for that
purpose. The prosecuting witness,
who was exasperated at what he con-
si1ered an unlawful attempt to despoil
him of his property, has, upon the
sober second thought. come to the con-
clusion that Grove did not intend to
steal the ore. and SO testified on the
witness stand last evening, and it is
probable that ere this meets the eyes of
the public the accused will be acquitted.
The case has established an important
fact to miners, which is-thst persons
relocating mining claims cannot ap-
propriate ore extracted by former
owners without at least jeopardizing
their liberty.

They have strange notions about
qualifications of Jurors in South Caro-
lima. Recently civil suit was brought
against ex-Treasurer Parker of that
State to recover 1925 900, which was
alleged that he had stolen from the
State Treasury. Strange things oc-
Cured at the trial. but the most curl
GUS of all was that one OF the jurors
impaneled to try the case. was one of
the sureties on Parker's official bond.
When this discovery was made, it was
suggested to the Attorney General. who
was prosecuting the case, that there
might be some improperly in permit
ting the bondsman to sit as a Juror in
a case which involved the integrity
of an official for whose good conduct
the juror was surety. The Attorney
General was equal to the emergency.
and in a spirit of commendable liber.
ality relieved the juror from his obliga-
ton on the bond, and announced that
if a verdict was rendered against the de-
PENDANT, the State should not proceed
against any of the sureties. With this
understanding the impartial jurors
found verdict against the ex-Treas-
urer for $4,000. and according to the
terms of the agreement all his bonds
men are released from liability.
