SOME NEW ENIDEN L
Said to Have Been Obtained in
the Borden Case.


Lawyer to Make Inquiries in Regard
To Her Rights of Inheritance.
FNL RIVER. Mass Sept 2l-The Glob,
publishes an array of facts bearing ON tn,
Borden case. OF which the following is Il
summary; The state i ready to prove
that eiN months before the murders, Lizzie
Borden went to Providence by way of New
Bedford and there consulted with "A lawyer
as to the possible disposition oil her father
property in the event of his death. and
more particularly rs to it, disposition a.
affecting her.
This man is one of the best known law
yers in Rhode Island. and has held several
political offices He obtained all of the in
formation she could give him about sup
positions case and he then asked her where
she lived. When She said Fall River. he
told her he would not be able to give her
an answer at once, but il She would call
again later he would have looked up
Massachusetts law and would be able To
advise her
Two weeks before the murder she again
went to Providence via New Bedford and
received all the information the lawyer
could give her. Then she went to several
stores in Providence and made purchases
directing that they be shipped to her
home.
The police are in possession of the ship
ping tag. showing that Miss Borden WAS
in Providence on the day indicated When
the story Of the murders Vas published
the lawyer recalled his client of two weeks
previous.
A man who saw Miss Borden sitting in
the lawyers waiting room gave the in
formation of her wanderings to the police
and every effort was made to see if the
professional man would not come to this
city and identify the girl. On the last day
of the preliminary hearing he WAS III the
district court room and stood face to face
with the prisoner Recognition was mu-
tual and the lawyer determined then to
go on the witness stand and testify to the
interviews when the proper time arrived.
These facts are construed to mean that the
state has discovered another link in boil

for the crime.

eight miles, and a number of valu-
able locations have been made of
the same character of ore. Some
of these are veins of unusual size
and extent, but owing to the diff
culties encountered in reaching
them but little work has been done.
Going farther south on the same
mineral belt to Cherry and Bear
creeks some very rich ore has been
found. A large number of claims
have been located and a great
amount of work has been done on
some of them, which has resulted
in exposing large bodies Of galena
ore, mostly concentrating PROPOSE
tions Of a very fair grade. The
best and most extensively devel-
oped claim thus far in this locality
is the Silver Cable mine, the prop
erty Of the Silver Cable Mining
company, Of Missoula, Mont, which
also owns many other valuable
claims in this vicinity and will
have q force Of men to develop
them as soon as the snow is out Of
the way. The formation Of this
section is mostly granite, quartzite,
lime and slate. Ore has also been
discovered in many Of the gulches
and canyons toward the head Of
Libby creek, and a number of To-
cations have been made here and
there.
About two miles northeast from
Granite creek is another mineral
belt, which was discovered two
years ago and is known as the
Shaughnessy Hill camp. Here
there has also been a great amount
Of development done. On quite
number Of claims large bodies of
high grade galena ore have been
opened, some running as high as
100 ounces to the ton and so per
cent in lead. The best developed
claim is the Buzz-saw, owned by
Thompson Falls parties. Several
shafts have been sunk and over 300
feet Of tunnels have been driven
on it at present. The main ledge
is about five feet wide and the
greater part is solid galena. This
property is no longer regarded as a
prospect, but as a mine Of consider
able value. Many other prospects
on the hill have been partially de-
veloped, and give promise Of be-
coming mines in the near future.
A few miles further south on the
same belt is located the famous
Libby claim, on what is known as
Libby hill. Although only a linn
tied amount Of work has been done
yet, this claim gives great promise
Of becoming a valuable mine. Be
ing situated 50 it can be developed
without any great expense, it is
looked upon as very desirable prop
erty.
Upon nearly every tributary of
Libby creek there have been loca-
tions made, and on some there are
a large number. Most of the new
camps were discovered late last
summer, and therefore it was an
impossibility to get supplies or
material to them to do any work
before winter set in, but this sum
mer there will doubtless be many
rich discoveries made and many
new mines opened. Good water
and an abundance Of timber for
mining and milling purposes can
be obtained in every part Of the
Libby creek district, and the time
is now near at hand when this To-
cality will be one Of the great sill
yer and lead producing fields in

The expression of a sentiment
among the farmers favorable to Mr..
Donnelly grows rapidly throughout
the state and there is 70 doubt OF
their desire for candidate who will
most fully be a leader in this great
move.
A quarterly county alliance meet
ing held at Long Prairie, Todd Co.,
on the 25th, was addressed by coun-
ty lecturer A. G. Poure, who has been
a neighbor to Mr.. Donnelly for 20
odd years and who gave a complete
history OF Mr.. Donnelly's record as a
neighbor and public man during that
period. A vote was taken on the
choice of Mr.. Donnelly for peoples
party candidate for governor of
Minnesota this fall. The vote stood,
all in favor OF Mr.. Donnelly except
two.

a New Legal Problem.

A case Of peculiar Importance
was brought into court in Nash,
vile, Tenn, a few days ago.
The case raises a singular ques-
tion which is a new legal prob
lem in Tennessee. Joe Bar
low, who, the bill alleges, is Of
a dark complexion, is the com
plainant. He claims to be the
son of K. G. and Locke Barlow,
white people, now deceased, and
claims to be q full brother to
Jack and May Barlow, who are
white. He alleges that by a
mere unaccountable freak of
nature he was born with a dark
skin, but that he was recogniz-
ed during the life of X. G. and
Locke Barlow as their lawful
son and was treated as d mem
Der of the family. He now
claims that because of his dark
skin his brother and sister are
attempting to defraud him out
of his share Of his fathers es-
tate. The bill enjoins a fur
ther disposition Of the property
until the question of paternity
is settled.
