Lying near the railroad track is a wild
plot of several acres ofland known as "Win-
tergreen Hill" 1t is a Sunday breathing
place and resort of Hyde Park village.
1t has on two occasions been owned by
individuals who have offered to give it to
the village or the town if they would fence
and beautify it, and the offer would have been
accepted could the own have legally or prop
erly expended money in beautifying land out
side her borders. This little plot is within the
limits of the land sought to be set off by Nor
ristOwn to Hyde Park by the terms of this
bill. 1t probably does not give Morristown
a list of over So, but for the purpose of a
public park, could it be so used, would be
valuable.

The SacrCdneSS Of Town Lines.

MOrristOWn raises her hands in horror at
an attempt to disturb the S~anctity of tOWn
lines, but within thememorY of this generation,
MorristOMn took unto herself from a neigh
boring town more than 5000 acres of land.
1t is also true that in this, the last half of the
ninteenth century, she has extended her covet-
GUS hand and sought to take within her Dor
ders the fairest portion of her neighboring
town, Elmore, and yet within the last thirty
days she has called a special town meeting to
authorize her Selectmen to expend whatever
money might be needed to prevent the little
village Of Hyde Park, with less than 700 pop
]ulation, from awaiting herself of a few acres Of
land which the Almighty has so located that
he who runncth may read that it should be a
part OF the town of Hyde Park,

Of Comparatively insignificant
Value,

The land which is asked to be set off to
Hyde Park consists Of a part of two farms.
Aside from Gov. Pages hide house and the
railroad station, the buildings thereon consist
Of three ordinary dwellings and a few out
buildings. With the hide house removed, its
entire value, including buildings, would be
less than four thousand, and probably less
than three thousand, dollars.

Can a parallel be shown in any town in
Vermont where the station and railroad facil-
tiles of an enterprising and growing village
are controlled by a rival, not to say hostile,
village? Ifthere is, let us know where it is?

said he had no conversation with Mr..
Raymond such as that referred to. He
mad conversation with Mr.. Raymond
in regard to the Silver Hill mine, above
the power house, but his only question
was as to whether it was a silver or
copper prospect. Nothing was said
about lodes or connecting veins. In re-
gard to the conversation with Mr.. Nc
Ginnis, the witness said he had not told
Mr.. McGinnis that only such tract OF
land belonged to the Michael Dewitt, and
the rest belonged either to the Rarus or
Snohomish. What he did say was that
whatever conflict there might be as to
the rest of the ground, there could be
none in regard to the little wedge
shaped tract of land he referred to.
There is granite in the Snohomish raise,
but it is between the walls, and does
not affect the vein. Granite is often
found in a vein. At the west end line
of the Rarus the width of the outcrop or
apex is 40 feet, while at the east end
line the claimed zone is $50 feet In
width.
The next witness was Edward ].
Finnegan. He has lived in Butte since
1882, mining most of the time. He had
worked in the Modoc, Ramsdell-Parrot,
Snohomish and Others. He had exam
ined the country in controversy in this
suit. Under the direction of Mr.. Gillie
he put up the Snohomish vein. Mr.. Gill
lie told him to follow the vein up, and il
it disappeared to let him know at once,
but he was not required to notify Mr..
Gillie. The actual Windlass vein was
struck at the 500. and he followed the
vein on up from there. The Snohomish
raise was taken to within 10 feet of the
surface. He was certain that the top
of the raise is in the same vein that the
$50 slopes are made from. He did not
know of any other vein that could be
followed from the slopes except the one
he followed. Between the north vein
and the Windlass vein is granite of the
ordinary country kind.
The witness exhibited samples from
streaks ami seams cl2imed by the de-
PENDANTS to be veins Their is streak
in the TIA raise which is swo inches
wide in its greatest width. 1t disap-
pears in a short distance. The witness
Gid not think that any part of any of

far as he could see.
Mr. Finnegan will be cross-examined
this morning.

Referee Bean yesterday took addi-
tional testimony in the contest over
the Big Hole placer ground between
the Montana Power company and +. r.
Isolman. II. NJ. Byllesby, president of
the power company. was the last wit
ness for ghe professionals, and T. T.
Baker. the county surveyor, was the
first witness for the defense, or the APP
plicants for the patent. He was on the
stand all day, and testified and ex-
planned the maps and locations of the
Big Hole and Canyon placer, and the
surrounding locations, the Turner, Raj
tlesnake, Aurum and Byllesby placers.
and also explained the ground that
would be covered by the water backed
up by the power company's dam, and
the character and formation of the Big
Hole placer.
The hearing is developing some in
teresting facts in connection with the
contest. The power company's dam
site title is based on a number of placer
locations made by various persons in
terested in the company, the main part
of the dam covering the Aurum placer,
which was purchased from w. A.
Clark, but also extends To the Turner
on one side of the Aurum and the Rat
tlesnake on the other. Dolman's Big
Hole placer adjoins the Aurum farther
ND the river. and BylIeSby, turner and
other members of the power company
who located the different other placers,
located the Canyon on the Big Hole.
Delman claims that he prospected
his ground a year before he located
| it, and located il last May, three
| months before the formation of the
| power company. When the latter dis
covered Doiman's location an adverse
/ suit was brought by Byllesby. Turner

HIS FACE KNOCKED IN.
The Police Think 1t Was the Work of
Fooipads.

The Poi1ce mink 1t was the work OF
Footpads.
Evidences of what appears to have
been the dastardly work of footpads,
were found by Police officer James
Leyden yesterday morning when he
picked up an old man I'm the ally in
the rear of the Kelly block, in East
Park street. The old man was Jacob
Geldc. who runs the Uncle Sam Com
missary," "A lunch wagon on Wyoming,
near Broadway. He was covered with
blood from terrible wound in the face,
evidently caused by blow across the
bridge of the nose. from a heavy in
strument, and both eyes were swollen
shut and as black as night The old
man was in daZed condition. and sup
posing he was drunk and had been in
jured In a drunken row, officer Leyden
took him to the city jail and the city
physician was sent for He, too,
thought the old man drunk and de-
ferred dressing his wounds till he
should sober up. As result Geidc sat
in a chair in back room nearly the
whole day He gradually came to his
senses. and late in the afternoon was
able to tell, in disconnected way,
what happened to him.
The old mans mind was still cloudy.
but 1t was gathered from what he said,
that the night before he had $26 in his
possession, SIS of which belonged To an
other man, VINO had given 1t to MN Tor
safe keeping, while he himself went on
n ST. Patrick's day celebration. After
closing up his place of business for the
night, Gedc said he went to a saloon
at the corner of Park and Wyoming
streets 10 get a glass of beer. intending
to go right back and go to bed. He
drank two glasses of beer and started to
go UP Wyoming street On reaching
the alley between Park and Broadway,
he was suddenly struck by someone be-
hind him, and from that time, he said
he remembered nothing
Geldc. when he recovered sufficiently
to be able to fully realize, denied en-
phatically that he was drunk when as
saulted. He had no money in his pos
session when he reached the city JAIL
and as he bears a good reputa tioa his
story was believed by the police, and it
Is thought that when he paid for his
beer he exhibited his money. and that
he was followed out, knocked down and
dragged into the alley and robbed. The
police are working on the case, but
as yet have discovered nothing to in
dictate who did the deed.
After waiting all day at the Jail for
the city physician TO return. Geidc left
TO seek medical attention himself His
face by that time was in a frightful
condition. The eyes and cheeks were
discoIorod mass, and the bones of the
nose were completely crushed in.
