The Great Omaha strike.


OxAHA, March 9.-The strikers and la
borers' union are flushed with the victory of
their raid on the "scab" laborers on the
grading yesterday afternoon, and in secret
meetings to-day seriously contemplated
sacking the Burlington and Missouri rail-
road depots and offices, and the Daily Her.
aid Office. At one time they decided upon
such. an outrage, but subsequently, recon
sidered it. The railway company has it's Of
fce'and depot barricaded and watched to-
night, and the city is in a state of consider
able uneasiness. The authorities are prepar-
ing to cope with the strikers, but will prob
ably await the arrival of troops before q
resumption of work will be attempted. A
meeting was held by the strikers tonight, at
which they developed a policy of represent
ing to the state authorities that there is no
cause for calling out the military, and that
to bring troops will tend to create bad feel
ing and lead to a collision. .h.i s.-

THE MAGINN1s MINES.
Capt. John W.. smith Tells What He
s$ Knows About Them.

AAe MdS tuulS MlncS 0It UcSAAHAuS I"
take firm hold on the people at Miles
City and other towns in eastern Montana,
where they are in position to obtain
the bottom facts regarding the merits of
the, new mineral fields. Capt. John W.
Smith, Of Miles City, now IN Bism arok
who has spent much time and some
money to ascertain the true state of
affairs in the new camp, is enthusiastic
in. it's praise, and has no hesiiancy in
recomm ending his old time friends, whom
he would under no conditions wilfully
send on wild goose chase, to go there.
From what the captain has been able to
learn during the winter, he is confident
that the Maglnnls region will be. the cen
tre OF an unprecedented gold excitement,
the coming season. Parties who have
been there from Miles return to the Dig
gings as soon as they get an outfit. This
new land Of auriferous promise cover
an extent of country about as large as the
Black Hills The point where the
placer and quartz have been discov-
cred is between four and five miles from
Fort MaginniS. The military post and
the camp, which is called Maidenville,
are divided by belt IF mountains, pass.
able only by a foot trail. The distance to
be travelled by. wagon from the fort is
thirty miles. The present population of
the camp ie about 400, but already STAN
peders are beginning to 60 there in no
small numbers from other camps in Mon
tana: There are as yet no large business
firms there, and in Capt. Smiths judy
ment such establishments will be among
the great necessities within y month or
two. The slulcing season lasts only about
SIX to ten weeks; beginning when the
spring thaws set in and ending during
the ea,ly summer Under such. circum=
stance it will require two seasons 70 wash
the gravel, which fact insures two boom
ing seasons at least. 1t is xplacer

The captain, who is familiar with the
geography of that country comedies with:
the TRIBUNE as to the best route to reach
the new Eldorado. At present, while the
river is IN, the embrace Of old Boreas, he
advises parties desiring to inspect the
camp before venturing there with stocks
of goods, to go to Miles City and from
there make the trip by private convey
ance. This is now the practicable route,
but IN the spring, upon the. opening Of
navigation, he advises every one to go by
the way of the Missouri river steamers to
Rocky Point, and from thence by splen-
did wagon road to Naidenville, the me
tropolis of the Maglnnis gold fields.
There will undoubtedly be overland
transportation at the Missouri river ter
minus to accommodate the freight and
passenger traffic. Many private teams
and regular freighting outfits will concen-.
trate al Rocky Point by the arrival Of the
first boats up the RIVER. That the stampede
will be large there is scarcely the shadow
of a doubt: 81 - ,.s:2 '2., =

The following rescript has been received
from the law court by A. c. Otis, clerk of
the middle district:
Alonzo +. Chesley VS.. Bradbury F. King.
One has a legal right to dig a we'll any
where in his own land tor the purpt Sc of OBJ
tanning water for his own use or for the ben
eft of his estate, and although the effect of
it NAV be to Withdraw the water perculating
through the ground to spring from which
another has the right to take water by an
aqueduct and dry up the spring, the owner Of
the soil will not be liable to an action
on that account so long as he acts
in good faith with one honest purpose
But if he digs the we'll not for any honest
and lawful purpose, but for the sole pur-
pose of infiicting damage upon the party who
has rights in the spring, he will be liable.
The testimony here shows cOnclusively that
the defendant as'the owner of the aqueduct
which he cut of and laid in another direction
in 1879, and that the plaintiff had no interest
therein rs part owner. The defendant had
perfect right to cut it off and change its
course for the purpose of getting a better
supply of water for himself, as he did.
and of this the plaintiff can not COM
plain so long as defendant left a
sufficient supply of water for him in the
spring. Inc jury erred IN giving damages
on their account; and where they gave
damages on two distinct grounds, and do not
return how much was given on each, the
only remedy is to set aside the verdict if it
was against law or evidence as to either.
But the finding that the defendant dug the
well and trench with the mere sole and
and malicious purpose of diverting
the water which supplied the spring
and not for the purpose Of securing better
supply for himself is also clearly against
evidence and must be set aside.
Motion sustained. Verdict set aside. New
trial granted.
