BILLS OF The HORN|TOS,
A Disagreement About Them Be-
tween E. w. Holbrook and
S. Weber Parker.
Mr.. Parker Delays an Eastern Trip
to Give His Side-Expects to
Spend 100000 Here.

s. Weber Parker of New York, presi-
dent of the Hornitos Mining Com pany OF
Mariposa County, was late yesterday after
noon served with subpoena at his room
IN the Palace Hotel. to appear before
Justice Groezinger in answer to suit
brought by W. E. Holbrook for $G78.
Mr.. Holbrook has been the agent of Mr..
Parker for some time past and claims this
amount is owed TO Chapman & Bannister,
civil engineers, for work. He also claims
ing for the East, and that he also owes the
Haas Bros, Davis. Carrigan q Hayden,
the Lundy Furniture Company and LIE
Conte Bros.
Mr.. Holbrook served the notice on Mr..
Parker, and claims that it was done with
difficulty, his finger being caught in the
door and considerably bruised.
Mr.. Parker tells a different story. He
Gays that he has given Mr.. Holbrook
$3.50 to pay all the bills, the total of which
amounted to but $1,000; also, that in re-
gard to the particular bill of Chapman d
Bannister, he gave Holbrook $75 to pay
for the work, and that it was specified this
was all it should cost.
1.-The fact is that Holbrook and have
had quarrel and he wants two-fifths of
the mine. He lately took an English ex-
pert to examine the property said Mr..
Parker, ''and the expert reported it far
richer than any body had supposed. HoI-
brook claimed 10 me to own the mine,
when he didn't. He has no interest in it.
He thinks now that he will take an
advantage of me; but l will not permit it.
will stay. If owe any body anything I
will pay it, for that is the way / do.
When the matter comes up everybody
will know all the facts"
Mr. Parker saws his company will spend
about $500, 600 in the Hornitos mines. AS
sociated with him are several English
capitalists. Mr.. Parker also says that Mr..
Holbrook and three other men came to
his room but that Holbrook was not in
iured by him in any way.
