TO CANCEL THE PATENT
Hearing on the Petition in the
Circuit Court.
TIME IN LITIGATION
The Case Is That OF the United States
vs.. George F.. Marsh and Henry
Cannon - The Goff-MiIler
Contempt Case.

Most Of the time in the United States
cupied with the hearing of
a petition for the cancella-
ton of a patent. The case is that
of the United States VS.. George F..
Marsh of this city and Henry Cannon
of Helena. The property involved is
located near the Parrot smelter and
part of the ground is used as a dump
by the Parrot company. 1t is on an
odd numbered section and was origin
ally owned by the Northern Pacific
railway company. provided there is no
mineral on the property, and here Is
where there has been a controversy
for many years.
on July Is, 1881. the defendants hled
in the land office at Helena an applica-
ton for a placer mining patent unoer
the mineral laws. In June, 1855, they
renewed their application. In 1852. En-
och Johns purchased the land from the
Northern Pacific railway company and
received a deed. He claimed the land
to be agricultural and not subject to
entry under the mineral laws. He built
a house on IL and has since lived there
with his family. Mr.. Johns protested
against the granting of a patent to
Marsh and Cannon. Testimony was
taken by the receiver OF the LAM office
az Helena and the land was held to
be mineral and the protest was dis
missed. Johns appealed from the reg
lister OF the land office TO the general
land office at Washington. Here on
Nov. Is. 1883, il was decided that the
land was agricultural and the Helena
land office was reversed. The matter
WAS carried to the secretary Of the
interior and finally a patent was is
sued. The present move is for the can
collation. of the patent. Dan Yancey
and W. p. Rogers are the attorneys
in the case. The matter had not been
concluded when court adjourned last
evening and will be resumed this morn
ing. Johns denies that any improve
ments have been made on the property
at all and that all lain of mineral
development are fictitious.
The case OF Ellen NJ. Goff VS.. Fred
Miller For contempt of court took up
considerable time in the United States
court yesterday. The case was argued
by Wallace and Mcintyre Of Helena.
The defendant is engaged in the sheep
business near Martinsdale, Meagher
county, and a petition was also pre-
scented for the appointment of a receiv-
cr. The contempt is claimed in dis
posing OF sheep contrary to the courts
orders. Further testimony will be TAX
en- on this matter before the courts
decision is given. II. \. Young was ap-
pointed receiver and his bonds fixed at
$40. 900.
ON motion of Thompson Campbell,
John b.. McClernan was admitted to
practice in the United States circuit
court.

From the Cemetery.

FROM me Cemetery.
Mike Dunniher, the miner arrested
and fined yesterday in the police court
for disturbance. is in a lot of trouble.
and when his present sentence is
served out, will IA TO answer to an
other charge, that OF violating the or
dinance prohibiting the exhuming of a
body in the night time.
Dunniher, who is an erratic charac-
ter, to say the least. tried to shoot him
self one night last winter. but did not
succeed. He made life so miserable
for his wife that she turned him out
He went to British Columbia. and
while there Mrs. Dunniher was taken
i'll and died. He was not notified and
did not learn Of his wife's death till
after she was buried. Then he came
back and tried to make trouble for his
wife's relatives. Thomas Keegan, the
wife's brother, had taken the children
to care for. as the father was regarded
as irresponsible, but Dunniher was not
satisfied with the arrangement n
made more trouble. Fearing from his
actions harm might come to the chill
dren. Keegan forbade Dunniher to
come to the house, and when he per-
sisted and tried to break in the door.
Keegan had him arrested. 1t has since
been learned that Dunniher went out
to the Catholic cemetery and dug up
his wife's remains one night n
burned the body in another part OF the
cemetery. As this was contrary TO
law, a warrant for his arrest was
sworn put yesterday.

Washington. Sept. THE official record
of the war department, as completed,

though the loss OF life was heavy. the list
OF killed included only one officer Of the
British army.

dsv afternoon and they aroused a good

left the city of flowers last April and
have had all sorts of experiences on the
road. They have Travelled In sunshine
and in rain, through mud and dust, ov-
er mountains and plains and through
valleys. Sometimes they had to stop
for sickness and sometimes the horse
would break down and they had to rest
a few days.

ing" said Mr.. Skinner. I'VE got used
10 sleeping outdoors, and we found
plenty of generous people who would
give US a bite to eat. We sold out eV-
erything we had in Los Angeles, for
we became convinced that we could not
get a living there. When we left Los
Angeles all we had was the horse and
buggy, our clothes and sos in cash.
We have used up the money mostly in
buying feed for the horse, for while
we found people willing To give us
something to eat. they were not so
ready to give us feed for the horse and
we usually had to buy the feed"

CAPE HAITIEN. Haiti. May 2S.-.-
Although runner has reached here
ofan important American success no
confirmation of the report can be OBJ
tained here.
Since the rumored arrival of the
Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba no
news has reached here, though the
cable between this place and Santiago
de Cuba is not interrupted. The
Significance of this mysterious silence
is not known, but excites great
wonder. No explanation is furnished
excepting surmise based on various in
fluences.
The theory that the Spanish Ad-
nirai allowed bimseIf to Ike bottled
up in the Bay of Santiago de Cuba Is
not entertained here. On the cor
trary. the Haiticn officials say II is far
from likely that such a thing has
occurred.
1t Is hoped that the message from
Commodore Schlev will soon be re-
ceiyed at the Mole, st. Nicolas or else
where.
