A MIG THING.

AS announced exclusively in The

up to bonanza proportions. He, to-
gether with Jed. Jones and two broth
ers named Bingham are very much
elated over the way their claim Isl de-

there is lots of the ore in sight. The
vein shows at least seven feet of clear
ore. An assay made yesterday showed
500 ounces of silver and s27 in gold.
The property is located about six miles
up Ogden canyon, on the north side
about LOCO feet from the river. Other
assays will be had at once. 1t is pro

Court at Beaver.

(Sreciai IA The HeralG)
BEAVER. Utah. May 2T.--In the case
of c. D. White vs.. Y. H. Pease, Judge
Higgins last night overruled Nc
Dowelrs eloquent motion for a non
suit.
In the matter of the case of the
state VS.. Eugene Whittier, the defend
ant was released on his own recog-
nizance.
In the case of White vs.. Pease this
morning, the defendants testimony as
introduced today, did not vary ma
terially from that of the plaintiff yes
terday, and the case was closed and
argued at some length. The instruc-
ticns of the court followed and were
quite full, covering the whole case. and
under a ruling of our supreme court of
the territory, both paties took full ex-
ceptions to each and every charge.
The jury. after being out an hour, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff. for
$3.50 with interest and costs of this suit,
being the full amount of plaintiffs de-
mand. The jury was polled by the re-
quest of Mcdowell, which showed a
unanimous verdict. Judge Mcdowell
took AN exception to the verdict and
he was allowed sixty days stay of
execution within which time to make
a motion for new trial. The court
room was unusually crowded this
afternoon when the verdict was re-
turned, and upon the reading of the
same there was a manifest feeling of
endorsement that showed the feeling
of the public sentiment. For a civil
case this has been one of unusual in
terest and both sides have made a
legal fight. This, however, does not
end the case, as a transcript has been
ordered and the case will go to the
supreme court.
In the case of DIR. G. H. Fennemore
VS. John FAR, the plaintiff was al
lowed to amend his complaint by ad-
ding THE Indian Creek Gold Mining
and Milling company" as party plain
tiff. 1t is to be regretted that this
case will not be determined at this
term of court, as it involves the title
to the best gold property in this county
