WAsHINGToY, March G.-The celebrat-
ed mining suit between the Tyler com
pany and the Last Chance Mining com
pany has been decided in the United
States circuit court in favor of the Tyler
company. Several million dollars are in
volved in the controversy.
These cases grew out OF riots at the
Wardner mines. The court there grant
ed iniunctions restraining the str kers
from interfering with the men and it is
alleged Pettibone and others conspired
to violate the laws Of the United States.
The court holds that the indictment ur-
der which they we're convicted on this
charge is defective in that it was not
shown that the men had knowledge of
the order of the court. 1t is therefore
directed that the men be discharged.
Justices Brewer and Brown dissented.
