He had been in poor health all summer
but his condition did not become serious
until about two weeks before his death.
when he took To he bed from which he
was never to rise again. Being without

Gus Simon ct al. VS..
VIM. Matson ct. al.

The case af Gus Simon et III. vs..
VIM, Matson ct al. for the recovery of
ore extracted by the defendants from
ground claimed by the plaintiffs oecu-
pied the attention of the Court all day
Wednesday and Thursday. The main
question on which the decision turned
was the right of the locators of the Last
Chance claim to the ground ont OF which
the ore in controversy Was taken. as
opposed to the right of the owners OF
the Comanche. from whom the defend
ants had lease. The verdict was in
favor of the plaintiffs. the owners of the
Last Chance.
An interesting point in mining law
was brought up by the counsel FOR the
defendants, Mr.. Murphy, who desired
to introduce in evidence the original To-
cation notice of the Comanche claim to
which Mr.. Wren objected ON the ground
that it did not specify any width. The
Court, following the decision of thu
Supreme Court of this state in the cast
of the Gleason Co. vs.. the Martin White
Co., ruled that it was not necessary il
a location notice 10 claim any specific
width of surface ground. 1t is only
necessary to define the width nj tn,
claim by marking its boundaries so tha
they can be readily traced. The loca
tion notice of the Comanche was accord
ingly admitted in evidence,

out doubt his motive in committing
the crime.
The prosecution rested lis ease short
ly before the evening lecess Monday,
and the defense proceeded To examine
its Witnesses. Mr.. Walker attempted
to show that ii had not been ronclu-
sively proven that Louis had committed
the crime; that his story about he In
found around the body thai were not
sufficiently investigated :and finally that
the defendant was mentally deranged
and should not be held responsible even
though guilty. Il was shown by the
testimony of Mr.. Bush. Louis Lani and
others that Louis had been known to
act strangely. He seemed 10 have Il
mania for collecting samples of worth
less rock and had his dugout full of
sacks of LIMESTONE, porphyry and other
rock of no value. His language. too. is
almost unintelligible. which became ey-
ident when he attempted To testify i'll
his own behalf. and it was necessary to
procure an interpreter. He denied hav-
ing made the admissions as testified to
by Mr. and Mrs. Halstead and repeated
his statement about he Indian. 1t WAS
his manner, however. that produced
the greatest effect upon the jury. for
his eecentricity and mental deficiency
became Very apparent.
The arguments of counsel were made
Tuesday afternoon Mai. Treeee OPEN
ing for the prosecution and was follow
ed by Mr.. Walker who did his best to
explain away the damaging testimony
and made an eloquent appeal for the
client The chain of evidence. how
ever. was too strong and after Mr..
Wren had put il together link by link
in the closing argument for the State.
it was the general opinion of the spec
tators that the defendants would be
found guilty. The jury wis not long
in reaching its decision and reported
Immediately after supper. There was
hush in the courtroom as the veneer
able Foreman. Mr.. Van Nalkenherg,
delivered the verdict of murder in the
second degree, and general murmur of
satisfaction arose when it was heard.
The old Frenchman, inspite Of the re-
pulsiveness of his face. had aroused the
sympathy of the spectators and all
would have felt that to have hung this
tottering cid man would have been IA
crime no less than that of which he is
convicted.
Sentence was not passed until We'd |
nesday evening when Judge Talbot in
fiicted the extreme penalty
ment for life. The Judge explained his
action at some length, and stated that
II at any subsequent time it should be
shown that Louis were not guilty of the |
crime. he would be the first To take
action in his favor before the Board. of
Pardons. As il is only question of IA
few years when the old man will be en-
tirely helpless we think that the judge
ment of the court is beyond criticism.

Rodgers Acquitted. A

The case of Jas. Rodgers accused oi
manslaughter in the killing of Happy
Jack" at Cherry Creek, recently. was
called Tuesday afternoon and wills quick
ly disposed of by the Court District

The facts of the case were shown to
be about as stated in the News three
weeks ago and are so fresh in the mem
ory of our readers that we will not re-
peat them. The prosecution attempt
>ed to show that the act was premedi-
tated and witnesses were brought who
we're supposed to have heard Rodgers
threaten Jack but when brought upon
the stand. their testimony was of little
Importance The defense showed 80
clearly that Jack had been previously
ordered away from the place and had
no right to go and kick in the door OF
the cabin: that Rodgers act in stflk-
ing him became justifiable one in the
eye of the law. The arguments of the
counsel were short and the case went to
the Jury about $40 in the evening.
