SENSATIONAL MINING CASE,
HALEY MEN CHARGED WITH
BAD FAITH.
Judge Beatty Passes Severe Strict
ures On n. X. Thurber and His
Associates.
Especial 70 The Hersld.l

Boise, Ida, June Judge Beatty of
the United States court has decided the
case of the First National bank of Hal
pany, whose mines are near HALEY.
Suit was brought to recover on notes for
Sc, 500, issued by G. V. Bryan for the
company as its president, and secured
by a mortgage. Judge Beatty decides
the case in favor of the bank, giving 1t
Judgment for everything prayed for.
The decision is one of the most sensa-
tional ever handed down by an Idaho
court in that character of litigation,
the structures being very severe on II.
K. Thurber, a prominent New York
man, who came to idaho in 1895 to take
charge of the mines of the company.
Bryan and his associates turned the
property over TO Thurber in 1895. A new
directorate was named, Thurber'S wife
being made president and action was
taken turning over the proceeds of the
mine to one Arlington, Thurber's
nephew, who also secured a Judgment
by default against the company for
S13, 900. The new directors then repu-
dated the notes and mortgages issued
by Bryan. as being unauthorized, the
proceeds, they alleged, having been ap-
piled by Bryan for his individual use.

company. In passing on the case he
says: THAT Bryan was. until July,
1895, and that H. K. Thurber has been
since, the real G. V. B. Mining com
pany is a conclusion fully justified in
this case. The so-called directors and
officers in New York constituted the
dumb machinery, That parties who

been no bad faith in the management of
the defendants interests would require
the exercise of more charity than often
obtains, in our judgment, of human af-
fairs. 1t is true that after Thurber

should be dealt with as
they deal with the public. The acts of

business and are permitted to do so by
their decoy directors, should be deemed
the acts of the corporation. 1t would be

tense that such acts are ultra wires"

SPANS UNHAPPY SITUATION
CONFUSION AID DESPAIR, SAYS
SENIOR MORET.
Government Is Drifting, With No
Fixed Plau-The People Are IMAM
imously For Peace.

London, June 1.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Morning Post has had
an interview with Senior Moret, for
merly secretary of the colonies, in the
course of which he said:
The government does not know
where it is going Moreover, there is
not person in Spain who can tell the
outcome of the present situation, which
is far more grave than is generally con-
fessed. The government has no liked
plan. It allows matters to follow their
swn course, needless of the ultimate
consequences.
THE ship of state is drifting. Be
sides, it is useless to conceal the fact
that the cabinet is no longer solid, de-
spite its reconstruction. Today the
confusion is complete. This is con-
cealed as we'll as possible, but if the
truth of the situation ever becomes
known the most serious complications
may result. The present ministers lack
energy. I won't say that they are voice
less, because they talk too much, but
they never act. They are absolutely
impotent. and are simply trusting to
chance to get out of their troubles
"A campaign in favor of peace has
begun in the press, and is progressing
among the populace. / am convinced
that if plebiscite were held peace
would be unanimously voted, even by
the soldiers. The queen regent has
been very unjustly attacked by Senior
CASTELAR,, who is already posing as pres
ident of the republic; but much doubt
his ability to stir up movement
against the regency.
The regency was menaced. but for
some time past a change has been TAX
ing place, and the adversaries of the
queen have discovered the injuctice of
their attacks. 1t is difficult to say
whether the regency will be over
turned. None can say what will hap
pen in a country without guidance, with
a foreign war on its hands and daily
fearing fresh internal complications If
the overturning of the regency does
happen, it Will be an immense -n1isfor-
tune to Spain. Parliament is divided,
as well as the ministry, who know not
whether to turn to the right or left. The
affairs of Spain are in complete disor-
der"
