1T WAS AFFIRM ED.
The Supreme Court Decision In the Es
telia Nine Case Explained.

|
telia Nine Case Explained.
Several Butte papers yesterday pub
lished II that the supreme court has re-
versed the decision of Judge Speer In the
Stella mining case, whereas the decision
was affirmed. The case Is that of James
A. Murray against F. A. Heinxe. an ac-
ton to annul q lease and recover posses
sion OF the property on the ground that
Heinze had violated the terms of the
lease in number of particulars. The
jury decided the case in favor of Heinze
and went directly In the face of the courts
Instructions and, after the trial, one OF
the jurors explained their action by say
ing that the court had no knowledge OF
mining matters and the jury therefore
took the case out of his hands and inter-
preted the law to suit themselves.
When the plaintiffs attorneys moved
for a new trial. Judge Speer promptly
granted II and the defendant took an ap-
peal. The supreme court sustains the
lower court. and In its decision empha-
sizes the principle of the law that 1t is
not In the province of jury to interpret
the law. Counsel for the defendant, in
their appeal. did not contend that the
verdict was not in conflict with the
courts instructions. but argued that the
law ais laid down by the court was in err
ror and that therefore the jury was justi-
fed in bringing in the verdict as It did.
The supreme court does not pass upon
the instruction OF the court It simply
holds that the jury had no right to
interpret the law. but should have held
to the instructions as given by them. The
court cites authorities to show that it In
no more competent for juries to usurp
the powers of courts than 1t is for the
courts to interfere with their province in
the ascertainment of facts. The court in
commenting on this point says:
IF the jury may rightfully invade the
province OF the court. why may not the
court retaliate by invading the province
of the jury. and In determining questions
of fact? As counsel for the respondent
suggests. IL the contention of the appel
liant ds correct, then logically there is an
appeal in all cases upon questions OF law
from the trial court to the Jury And as
counsel for respondent further suggests
In their argument. II the jury may deter!
mine the law an attorney arguing a case
may say to the jury: The court will
charge you that the law is so and so.
but say to you the court Is wrong: YOU.
the jury. are the judges of the law, and
may determine 1t yourselves Would any
court permit such an argument to jury'
IF the contention Of appellant Is cor
rect the time of this court In hearing fu-
ture appeals will be devoted to determin-
ing whether the court or the Jury were
right In their views of the law in the trial
OF the cause I'm the lower court. Author
ity or no authority, we cannot give our
sanction to a practice that would lead TO
sucn results. Such a course would ulti-
mate IN overturning our system Of keep
ing separate and distinct the powers ana
duties of courts and juries."

ton William Scallon is Mr.. Murray's at

FRED DOUGLASS DEAD.
The Great Colored Orator and
Statesman Passes Away.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 2O.--E'red-
erick Douglass, the noted freedman,
orator, and diplomat, died a few
minutes before o'clock tonight at his
residence in Anacostia, a suburb of this
city, of heart failure. His death was
entirely unexpected, as he had been
enjoying the best of health. During
the afternoon he attended the conven-
ton of the women of the United States,
now in progress in this city, and chatted
with Susan b. Anthony and others
of the leading members with whom he
had been on intimate terms for many
years. When he returned home he
said nothing of any feeling of illness,
though he expressed himself as being
little exhausted from the climb up the
stairs leading from the street to his
house, which is built on high terrace
He sat down and chatted with his wife
about the women at the convention,
telling of various things that had been
said and done. Suddenly he gasped,
clapped his hand to his heart, and fell
back unconscious. A doctor was hastily
summoned, and arrived within a very
few moments, but his efforts to revive
Mr.. Douglass were hopeless from the
first Within twenty minutes after the
attack the faint motion of the heart
ceased entirely, and the great ex-slave
statesman was dead

Domingo at the time of the agitation
for the annexation of that country to
the American Union, and on his return
was appointed member of the council
for the government of the District of
Columbia. In 1872 he was an electoral
large on the Republican ticket in the
state of New York. In 1877 he was
made Marshal of the District of
Columbia by President Hayes. In 1881
Mr.. Douglass was appointed by Pres
ident Garfield to the Office of Recorder
of Deeds for the District of Columbia
President Harrison in 1889 appointed
him minister to Hayti. This raised
howl of indignation from his enemies,
and he found himself much antagon-
lied by those who should have worked
in harmony with him. In the matter
of United States station there he be-
came involved with Admiral Gherardi,
and the appointment of minister to
Hayti to supplant him he charged to
the admiral's influence with the State
department.
During the last years of his life Doug
lass lived quietly at his home on the
eastern outskirts of Washington, sur
rounded by his books. His general
health was good and he was a figure
regularly seen in the streets of the capi-
tai. For several years his hair had
been as white aswool, which made him
conspicuous figure.
His second wife, whose skin is white
and whom he married ten years ago,
survives him.
Mr. Douglass was somewhat of a vio-
linist. He learned to manipulate the
instrument in his youth. When the
young folks of Washington gathered
about him at his Cedar Hill home, as
they often did, he frequently accom-
panied some expert pianist of them
with the violin, to the general satsfac
ton of his guests. Mr.. Douglass was
very fond of young people and their
society
