The first matter Of any consequence
disposed by Judge Showers was the
issuance of an order conining young
Clark Green, the IA year old son of
Henry Green of this city, in the state
reform school at Miles City. The
charge was preferred by the lads
father prosecuted by County Attorney
Galloway, Col. Galloway being ap-
pointed by the court to look after the
interests of the wayward boy, The
boys father testified that he could do
nothing with Clark; that he (the faith
err was widower and had no home;
that he worked hard from early morn
ing until late at night, and could not
give his son the necessary attention,
and further that he was absolutely
unmanagable; he had run away from
several homes in which he had been
placed; in one instance he had black
ened the eye Of woman at whose
home he was an inmate; that he would
not work. Mr.. Green further testified
that he had no relatives with whom
the boy could be placed.
Green's testimony was corroborated
by George Gohn and Jacob Seiglock.
The boy evinced considerable spirit;
he did not like the idea OF going to
the reform school but he told the
Judge that knew of no place that he
could go.
The Judge took the matter under ad-
visement and handed down his de-
cision yesterday. He made the order
with reluctance.
The case of the Lillian Mining Com
pany VS.. Henry Filing, involving the
title to the Spratt lode, property adj
joining the Easton, came up before
Judge Showers, on a demurrer, which
was argued and taken under advise
ment. The plaintiff is represented by
Lew. l.. Galloway and the defendant
by w. A. ClaLk. Mr.. Clark in his de-
murrer to the complaint, raised the
new point OF law as to the right of an
alleged co-tenant to adverse the appli-
cation of his co-tenunt iOr patent.
claiming that the United States statute
in regard to adverse claims referred to
conflicts between seperate and distinct
locations and not to conflict in interests
in the same Identical location. Mr..
Galloway took an opposite view and
the court took the whole matter under
advisement.
In this case Mr.. Elllng made appli-
cation for patent; the plaintiffs ad-
yersed, hence this suit: the plaintiffs
claim half interest in the property
by reason of an alleged void forfeiture
proceedings; the defendant through
purchase in probate courts.
