DENVER, May 2s.-The jury in the case of
the Iron Silver Mining Company VS.. the
Smuggler Mining Company, rendered a ver-
dict to-day in favor of the defendant. 1t ap-
pears that the location of the two claims were
parallel. The plaintiffs made the first loca-
ton put was in defined lead or lode. They
obtained patent on their claim in 1878. The
owners of the Smugger run a shaft beyond
the side lines and discovered a body of miner
al on which they made their location. The
Iron Company went above their discovery
shaft and run an incline into the mountain,
tapping the Smuggler and brought a suit
claiming that it was vein found inside their
pretended location. The Smuggler claimed
that there was no vein rock IN places within
the side lines of the Iron Company's location,
but that the top of the vein was within the
omuggler location. The trial lasted week,
and numerous witnesses were examined on
both sides, and eminent counsel employed.
The case excited great interest and the result
reached seems to be accepted as putting an
end to the claims of the Iron Mining Compa-
ny to go beyond the side lines of their loca-
tions.
New YORK, May 2S.-The Herald's Mitch
ellstown, county Cork, Ireland, correspond
ent says: A serious affray occurred here to-
day, in consequence of an attempt of the
sheriff of this county to evict five tenants on
an estate of the Countess of Kingston. The
sheriff was assisted by twenty-five police and
military, including troop of dragons, but
ha istn off ha
mined that the work was only partly accom-
plished. The chapel bell of Mitchelstown
began ringing at 8 O'Clock in the morning, to
warn the country people that evIctious were
| about to begin. The news spread RAPIDLY.
The chapel bells for ten miles around took
up the refrain, calling the population to as
semble. The police attempted to stop tie
| bells but did not succeed. Ten thousand
persons assembled here in less than an hour.
A large number gathered around the police
| and military, and while the first eviction was
| proceeding, eggs, stones and other missiles
| were thrown at the sheriff and his assistants.
Three evictions were carried out, but to ex-
| ecute the next two it was necessary to pass
| through the town. Three bands OF music
and organized bodies carrying banners, had
| now arrived, and the strains of ''The Martial
| Tread of Clares Dragoous' encouraged the
people to resistance. They obstructed the
| street and sent showers of stones into the
midst of the constabulary. Then the cavalry
charged and drove them back, but they only
returned in greater force and with new dar-
ing. While passing yard, behind which a
large number Of rioters were concealed, a
heavy volley of stones was delivered and one
of the cavalry horses was killed. The police
charged through the yard and dispersed the
assalants at the point of the bayonet. One
mans jaw was cut open. Twelve soldiers
were struck and many police were also i'll
jured. The riot act was read without effect,
and in consequence of the resistance it was
decided not to proceed further with the work
| of eviction. The excitement lasted until
late in the night. but there was 10 further
| trouble
