COL. w. II. PArKER, one Of the
leading lawyers OF Deadwood, arrived
in Sioux Falls day or two ago and
filed papers in the United States Court
in an important mining suit against
the Ucmestakc Mining Company. The
action is brought in the name Of sam
uel W. Allerton, vice president of the
First National Bank of Chicago, who
is owner of about sixth interest in
Homestake Mine, No. ,. and who asks
for an accounting of S',343.1l0. Mr..
Allerton says the Homestake Company
does net deny his ownership of the in
terest ,lamed above, but has refused to
recognize the complainant's interest in
its division of profits until his rightful
portion has grown to S3,3I3, 80, which
he now demands. Allerton purchased
his interest from James ID. Sullivan,
who had previously purchased the
same interest from Ottenger, one OF
the original locatcrs OF the mine
named.
The suit will attract very general
interest in mining circles throughout
the mineral regions Of the world. Col
Parker. who has just returned from
Montana, where he has been look ing

Washington Post, died at his residence,

very sick man, the disease did not
assume a critical stage until within a
few hours of his death, when it failed
to yield to treatment His physicians
had understood from the first, however,
that there was a dangerous complica-

from which Mr. Hatton had been q
sufferer. though in a mild way. Urea
poisoning developed and this primarily
caused his death.
