for 5 sc, 0G0 damages for ore alleged by
him to have been taken from the Burke

f. Augustus Heinze has brought suit
against Miles Finlen, John Devlin, Mar
ion M. Derlin, Mary f.. Reilly and Caro-
line V. Kelly to decide title to a three
fourths interest in the Minnie Healey
mine at Meadarville. In his complaint
Mr.. Heinze alleges that on the 3rd Of
February, 1886, the defendants entered
into an agreement to lease and bond the
the lease being such that Kinds was to
have the property two years and at the
end of that time pay $1,000 for a deed to
it. Kinds, says the complaint, took the
property and assigned it to James +.
Finlin and others ard they in turn turn
ed it over to Miles Finlen. On November
10, 1896, the plaintiff alleges that the de-
PENDANTS executed an article in writing
recognizing Finlen in the deal. He was
to sink a shaft 200 feet by November Of
1887. The lease was to expire February
3, 1900. In November Of last year Heinze
further alleges that Finlen sold his inter-
est to HIM. The agreement was oral. but
made With the understanding that in the
first week of January he was to execute
the transfer in writing. HeinZe says he
took the property and worked it; that in
February Finlen denied the transfer and
threatened to take the property back
again; that he even went so far as to
send Il force Of men to take 1t.
TcinZe asks that the defendant be re-
strained from interfering with the work.

haps you had intended to vote for some
other candidate. Well, you go ahead
and vote for whom you please, but I'll
walk home with that cane just the
same. We go to the festival on Satur-
day evening""
That settled 1t, and Mrs. Bowser had
no more objections to offer. Mr.. Bsw-
ser took hold of the matter in his en-
thusiastic way. He let it be known
that he was in the hands of his friends,
and that his friends were expected to
vote early and often and pull him
through. For four days and evenings
he went about talking of the matter,
with the result that popular candi-
dates" appeared in all directions. Mrs.
gowser had fears and doubts, but

marked him down as a candidate. He
soon came upon stern, severe look
ing woman, who made inquiry OF him:
81 understand that you are Mrs. Bow
ser's husband, and how does it come
that we never see you here of Sunday
with herr"
II am not much of a church goer,"
he stammered in explanation.
THAT is, you don't feel it duty to
set good example to others?"
81 hope l am not bad man.
did it ever occur to you that you
had a soul?"
"Of course"
81 am afraid it hasn't. Poor Mrs.
Bowser! We often talk about and pity
her. | don't think our minister has
quite done his duty He should call on
you and have serious talk"
A little later on Mr.. Bowser met g
male acquaintance who expressed great
surprise at seeing him there and asked
if he intended to rent family pew
I'm after that cane" was the reply.
But you-you can't expct to win ii"
I'D like to know why not"
The man looked at him with a pity
ing expression, but had no explanations
to make. A doutt crept into Mr. Bow
sers mind for the first time, and he
hunted up Mrs. Bowser to say:
q believe This crowd has put up a
job to beat me out of that cane
Il dent think So" she replied, ''but
suppose we go home? It's crowded and
uncomfortable, and l know you're not
enjoying yourself"
when l go home that cane goes with
mel" he announced, as he set his jaw.
"Im either the most popular man in
town or I'm not, and it's good time to
find out how stand"
When the voting for the cane began
Mr.. Bowser stood all alone. He saw
that he was out of it, and Mrs Bcwser
made another effort to get him home,
but his mind was made up to die game
He bought a hundred Bowser tickets
at one swoop and deposited them in the
box, and these put him up far ahead of
any ether candidate. His period of ex-
ultation was a brief one, however. 1t
was the crowd against Bowser, but he
was a fighter. He had $50 in his wallet
and not till the last cent was gone did
he abandon the struggle. When the
ballots were counted up he found he had
lost by over 200 votes.
I'm so sorry" whispered Mrs. Bow
ser, as she followed him out of the
church.
He made no reply.
ut was awfuFbhat you paid out $50
and didn't get the cane after ALL
She heard him gritting his teeth, but
he answered never a word
you are probably the most popular
man in town, but they combined
against you"
Still not word. Side by side they
walked home and entered the house.
Mr.. Bcwser turned up the hall gas,
hung up his hat, and as Mrs Bowser

whenever she threw out hint, Mr..
Bcwser drew himself up and replied:
Il shall get that cane, and don't you
worry about it. 1t looks as if there
might be a dozen candidates, but I'll
smash 'em to squash as soon as the
voting begins. I've had no less than
seven men ask me if l would run for
mayor next year, and believe I'll take
a nomination"
When the fateful evening finally ar
rived the Bowsers were on hand at an
early hour. 1t didn't take Mr.. Bowser
over ten minutes to discover that
things were not exactly as he had ex-
pected. In the first place, il was ten
