give visitors to the pavilion tomorrow
night treat. Twenty receivers beside
the principal horn are to be placed in
the hall, and over them may be heard
music from the Orpheum theater in San

OF this company is thus shown and will
be appreciated by large audience. It

tention of all visitors. The designs, as
well as the work, are very artistic and
extremely well done.
A collection of pieces lot Mexican
drawn work by Mrs. Clark, com para
tive stranger in our city, is very beauti-
full. The deftnass of the fingers of Mrs.
Clark, who is somewhat of an invalid
is evident in her work.
At the entrance to the hall is booth
showing some Egyptian lace work by
Annie Shaddy.
Mrs. E. j. Collins, Miss Matte Hollis
and Mrs. Pashek and little daughter
have entered some crochet work which is
first class.
Some OF the rarest and most beautiful
china painting is on exhibition by Miss

The eye of every visitor is caught by
the novel Florentine bent iron work by
J. @. Hostetler. This is something new.
and the perfect workmanship and UNIQUE
designs are attracting much attention.

time pretty, crazy quilts are exhibited,

played, while Mrs. ]. W. French has
some rugs and afghans specially worthy
of mention.

Dora Sexton, of the High school. Miss
Rosemary Baldwin also has an es-
pecially fine herbarium on exhibit.

noticed is Doctors certificate, granted
to Parker Forwood in Maryland in the
year 1921, and printed in Latin. From

red sealing wax and inclosed in a small
tin case. This is an interesting relic.

A pretty floral display by the Velarde
family adds to the appearance of the
north side of the hall. Beside large

American Trading a. Transportation
company's new n magnificent pass
enger steamer Roanoke" the first
boat for Dawson City and other Yu-

will be made with the company's Yu-
ri river boats. Passengers taking
advantage OF this sailing will go di-
rect to Dawson City. reaching there in
ample time for the seasons work.
Those who contemplate a visit to the
gold fields should not overlook this
opportunity of going there in n large
and comfortable passenger steamer,
and applications should be made at
once tn Mr.. Tuohy for rates and res
ervation on the steamer. The route
via ST. Michaels and the Yukon river
is by far the quickest. cheapest and
most comfortable one to the Alaskan

last night, and at last accounts she was
being chased by the Bancroft. The ship
passed by the Bancroft was a thEee-
masted steamer. and apparently a mer-
chairman of large tonnage. She had one
smokestack. No doubt whatever is en-
tertained of her being a Spaniard, be-
cause when the Bancroft put after her
she steamed away at full speed. The
chase was a most exciting one when the
Wilmington last saw the two vessels.
Captain Todd of the Wilmington has no
doubt the Bancroft will catch the Span
lard, n is confident the vessel being
chased by the Bancroft is a Spanish
auxiliary cruiser on scout duty. The
Wilmington came in from the blockade,
and reports all quiet there.

GERS.
At the time Of the acquisition of the
ohomi and Tramway by the defend
ant company II did not know anything
OF Larkin. and purchased the property
relying upon the second title and without
any knowledge or suspicion OF any mental
weakness Of his. The company admits
that IL is in possession Of the premises,
and has been prospecting and developing
II, but did not remove enough ores from
them TO pay the cost Of extraction.
The defendant alleges. on
and belief. that John j. Mediation. who
Is attorney for the p!aintin. claims to
have acquired an interest Of the daughter
of Larkin and to all the property of his
estate and all that may come to her after
her fathers death; that John j. II
ton has procured "A certain agreement
from some person. purporting to be n
daughter of the plaintiff. whereby her
entire interest I'm the estate of the plant
in upon his death shall belong to him. the
said Mediation. and defendant alleges
that this suit is prosecuted, not for the
interest of said daughter. but solely for
the interest of Mediation and other par
ties associated with him in acquiring the
property The suit was brought without
the knowledge or consent of Larkin's le-
gal guardian, and Is not prosecuted i'm the
name of the real parties in interest. but
the real parties in interest are John j.
Mediation and others interested with him
TO set aside the deed.
IL Is further alleged that the parties
Interested with Mr.. Mediation are f. Aug.
Heinze and Arthur r. Heinze. and that
all parties interested i'm the suit well
know that Larkin. at the time of the exc
cution of the deed was of sound mind
and fully capable of making the deed or
of transacting any other business relating
to his property. but the parties in inter-
est have conspired together and by false
testimony and by procuring witnesses to
swear falsely to the mental condition of
said Larkin, propose to set aside the deed
and otherwise to deprive the defendants
of the property which they well know
was purchased by its predecessor i'm inter-
est fairly and for an adequate considera-
ton.
Said John j. Mediation as defendant is
informed and believes purchased the in

with the intention of bringing suit against
the defendant, wherefore defendant SAYS
II il inequitable that the plaintiff should

should he dismissed.
In the petition for removal of the cause
to the United States court IT is denied
that any of the defendants named have
any interest in the property or the suit.

IL is alleged that certain persons were
named as defendants only with the fraud

same purpose.

FILED AN ANSWER.
A General Denial Made by the Butte and
Boston Mining

The Butte & Boston Consolidated
Mining company. one of the defend
ants named in the suit brought a few
days ago by Richard J. Watson. as
guardian of James Larkin. an insane
person, to set aside the purchase by
the defendants from Larkin of the
Snohomish and Tramway mines be-
cause, as alleged, Larkin VAS insane
when he signed the deeds, yesterday
filed in the district court "A petition to
have the case removed tn the Unit
ed States court. The petition is ac-
companied by an answer, which denies
all the allegations of the complaint
and alleges that the suit was brought
and will be prosecuted. not in the m
terest of Larkin or his estate, hut in
the interest of Attorney John j. Me-
Hatton and the Heinze people, who are
alleged to be back of IL.
In the first place IL is denied hat
Larkin has been insane for more than
five years or that Watson is his duly
appointed guardian. IL is alleged that
Larkin already had a guardian when
Watson was appointed. and that he
now has charge and possession of the
person and estate Of Larkin and has
entire control of them. by reason of
which fact there was no authority for
the appointment of MIR. Watson. and
that the latter has no right to main
tain the suit. The purchase of the
property is admitted. but it is denied
that Larkin. on May 4. 1898. was not
in his right mind or incapable OF en-
tering into a contract. 1t is denied
that the defendant company continued
TO unjustly deprive him of his property
or that advantage was taken of his
mental condition by means OF undue
influence OF its officers or agents. 1t
Is denied also that there was not a
reasonable n adequate sum paid for
the property, and IL is alleged that
S72. 600 was actually paid. which was
more than any other purchaser in the
market would pay for IL. and was
fully all the property was worth at the
time.
The answer says the Butte & Bos-
ton Consolidated Mining company was
not organized for the purpose OF as
Stunning the Liabilities existing against
the property Of the old Butte a Bos-
ton Mining company, but admits thai
II did assume and pay as a consider
alton for the purchase of the property
nearly the entire Indebtedness OF the
old company, but IL was not done as its
successor. but only as the purchase
price for the property. IL is denied
that r.. Rollins Morse. chairman OF the
reorganization committee. did not pay
a consideration for the property, and
IL is said that he took IL in trust for
the parties Inc not as trustee FOG the
