torial ballot in spite OF last nights eau
Gus. Ankeny gained one vote from WI
son, making Foster the high man for the
moment Hereafter the republicans will
caucus every evening of the week, Satur-
days and Sundays excepted.
Under suspension of the rules the bill
by Wilford Allen, relating to the endow-
ment of the agricultural college and school
of science, passed the house by large
majority vote.
Van Patten and Reinhart displayed
considerable oratory in censuring the
United States senators for neglecting their
duties to participate in senatorial con-
tests and bringing the federal brigade to
their assistance.
This occurred when Millers memorial.
urging the election Of United States sem
ators by direct vote, was read, and had
the effect OF calling out spirited debate,
Senator Wilson's friends taking the
ground that the attack was insulting and
cowardly. The whole memorial was final
ly tabled.
Among the bills introduced in the SEN
ate was one to appropriate $500 to defray
the current expense of public printing.
The senate Saturday passed Miller's bill
making one of the qualifications of jurors
the ability to read and write English.
Several road bills were made a special
order for 2 p. m. Tuesday, but aside from
this the senate did little more. An ad-
iournment was taken after the joint bal
lot until ii a. m. Monday.
Committee reports recommended the
passage of several bills of minor import
ance.
The vote in the joint session was devoid
of interest. But one ballot was taken,
and then Keith's motion to dissolve the
Joint session carried without opposition.
Senator Baker, one of Fosters supporters,
was absent, otherwise the vote was the
same as that in caucus the night previous.

Last Tuesday evening Wallis F.
Aux, Of Elbert, met with violent
death in peculiar manner at the
fair ground. He was STOPPING
over hydrant to get a drink
when a pistol he was carrying in
a shirt pocket dropped out. The
hammer struck on the end Of a
trough and the gun was discharged.
The ball entered under the left eat
and passed almost through the
head. Death was instantaneous.
Mr.. Aux was here with string oi
horses for entry in the cowboy
races, and was accompanied by a
young daughter. The daughter
was sent home on an early train
and the wife wired of the sad ac-
cident. Mr.. Aux was an Odd Eel

tain tract of land and the things con-
tanned in 1t. An examination of the
deed will show that it says nothing
about conveying any bodies or lodges to
their utmost depth AS far as extra
lateral rights are concerned, they must
be determined by the original lode upon
which the Johnstown was located and
upon which the patent was issued, and
If for any reason there are no extra
lateral rights to it, there can be none
to any other veins within the location.
Mr.. Patterson said the testimony would
show that the zone theory advanced
by the plaintiff was a myth, a manu-
factured and adjustable zone whose
we'll defined limits could be extended
from time to time to meet the demands
of the occasion and to take in and grab
everything within reach.
NJ. j. Sheehan, deputy county clerk
and recorder was the first witness put
on the stand. He produced and identi-
fed a number of county records which
were offered in evidence to prove the
plaintiffs title to the decided portion of
the Johnstown lode claim. A deed from
the Pennsylvania to the Rarus, convey
ing a small corner of the Pennsylvania
claim which extended across the
Rarus south side line, was also offered
in evidence, and was objected to by
Mr. Patterson as irrelevent and i'm
material. Arguments on the objecton
followed, and took on the nature of
discussion in which Judge Mediation
had the last word.

ments on an objection?" asked Mr. Pat
terson of Judge Mediation. IF there
is, l would like to he Informed, so that

said the court.
| The deed in question was then read

deed to the Johnstown portion was next

| without objection from the defendant,
| with the understanding that the ques-
| ton of it's construction and the eX-
| tent of the conveyance made by 1t
| would be raised at the conclusion of the
trial.
I'VE wish to say now" said Mr.. Pat
| terson, "if that deed is the title upon
which they rely for extra lateral rights
we contend that it does not give them
any extra lateral rights, but that the
| deed confined them within the boun-
| daries of the decided portion.
! A number Of court records in estate

and were objected to. AS the objections
raised some questions of law which the

to answer, the objections were con-
tinued for argument until this morn

claim was Offered in evidence, and ais'

APPROVE OF ONE CLAIM
That Is All That Has Found
Favor in the Committee.
THE CITY WAS AT FAULT
Many Claims Presented for Damages
Caused by the Storms o: a Week
Aeo-They Will Be Dis
appointed.

From present appearances it will go
hard with those who are trying to
make the city pay the damage done to
their property by the storms Of week
ago. The claimants have been send
ing in their troubles almost daily and
the street and alley committee las
been meeting almost daily to look into
the claims and come to some conclu-
sions in regard to them.
The committee met yesterday after
noon to consider some more of the
claims and will meet at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to conclude their work and
make up a report, which will be sub
mitted at the meeting of the council
tomorrow evening. SO far the COM
mittee has only decided to allow one
of the many claims presented. 1t was
decided at yesterdays meeting to rec
ommend to the council that the sum of
500 be allowed Mrs. Susan Lynch for
damages done by the storm. This
seemed to be the only one of the claims
where the city was at fault The COM
mittee decided to declare off the con-
tract of John Mccoy for building side
walks. Last spring Mr.. Mccoy was
awarded the contract for laying all the
wooden sidewalks in the city for one
year. He has only laid a few side
walks and none at all for the past
month. So it was decided to declare
the contract forfeited. and it is prob
able that at tomorrow nights meeting
of the council bids for the Construc-
ton of sidewalks will be advertised
for.
In the matter of the claim of w.
Z. Rowan the committee decided TO
ask for further time, not having had
as yet opportunity to inquire into the
matter Mr.. Rowan claims that he was
wrongfully taxed for the opening of
Covert street and he wishes his money
refunded. 1t was decided to disallow
the claim of Henry j. Price for dam
ages. Mr.. Price claims that his prop
| erty was injured by reason Of the
sewer having been blocked. The COM
mittee investigated the matter yes
| terday and concluded that the sewer
| had not been blocked. A nu:nbar Of
| other claims for damages by the s!"rn
| were disallowed.

A JEWELRY FIRMS TROUBLE.

The recent troubles Of the Wyatt
Jewelry House in Salt Lake City that
ended in bankruptcy and the sale of
their s25, 900 stock on an order from the
court, is liable to prove a blessing in
disguise to the people Of Butte. We
are creditably informed that while the
original invoice of this stock amounted
to s25,OOo, the appraisers saw fit to re-
duce it to $4,000, and the court ap-
proved a sale Of the entire stock to the
J. II. Leyson company of that city and
Butte, Montana, for $4,000. On the
strength of this purchase the Utah
house inaugurated what proved to be
the must successful sale of jewelry ever
made in the West. 1t is now the inten-
ton of the Butte house of ]. II. Leyson
to utilize their portion of this fortunate
purchase in the same manner. AS the
goods stand this firm less than As per
cent of their original cost, it can readily
be seen that they are in position to
make a special sale of jewelry that is
sure to prove the most remarkable
event in the history of Butte merchan-
dizing. 1t will require several days to
mark and arrange the stock for this
sale. which will probably commence on
or about Aug. 81 Watch this space for
day and date.
