The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-07-20

was found buried beneath about three
tons of rock. Undoubtedly he never
knew what hit him. His head and face
were badly cut up, the body bore evl-
dences of having been struck with ter
rible force by the flying rocks. and one
leg was completely torn away at the
knee, while the bones of the other were
broken. When the body had been I'M
covered, which took about an hour, il
was removed to the surface and In
spector Hunter and Coroner Julien
We're notified. After their investigation
the body was taken to Richards under
taking rooms, where an inquest will be
held, probably to-day.
AT the hospital where Wilson was
taken DR.. McCrimmons examination
disclosed a severe cut on one side and
several minor cuts about the back and
the back of the head A singular cir
cumstance in connection with his es-
cape was that his shoes were torn en-
tirely off his feet by the concuss on,
yet his feet were not badly hurt. His
body was completely peppered by fine
particles of rock. His injuries are not
very serious. He was dazed by the
conclusion and suffered far more from
shock than from his injuries.
Hohta and Wilson had only been en-
ployed at the mine two weeks. They
We're given work at the same time ard
made partners. Hohta was about 80
years of age and a native of Finland.
He had lived here year or more. He
had just sent for his family, wife and
child, living in Finland, and expected
them to start soon. They were notified
by cable of his death.

LAWYERS AND L|T|GANTS
The Case of Baker VS.. the Butte
City Water Company.
STAKES WERE CHANGED
The Defense Is That the Plaintiff Located
the Claim for Purposes of Black
mail-James Edwards Estate
Appraised at 81 $500.

No further effort was made to Sc
cure postponement of the trial of
the case of Ben Baker against the
Butte City Water company on the
ground that the time of Attorney ].
b. Welcome was fully occupied with
the disbarment proceedings in which
he is defendant, and when the case
was called by Judge Lindsay yesterday
morning the trial was proceeded with,
but without the presence Of Mr.. Well
come, his law partner, Jesse Roote,
conducting the case for the defense,
and j. E. Healey appearing for the
plaintiff. The suit is to recover pos
session of the keynote lode mining
claim in the Highlands mining dis
trict which was located by Baker on
Oct. 13, 1898, and was afterward taken,
as alleged, by the water company, or
rather by Superintendent Carroll.
j. E. Healey, in his statement to the
jury, stated that it would be shown
that on July Is, 1899, the stakes orig
inally set by plaintiff had been chang
ed about 200 feet, SO that the discovery
shaft as the claim appeared to be
now located would be outside the side
