FRAUD IN
SALE OF LEASE,

Sophie Satire VS.. Christina Rolfe and
Thomas g. Wilson Is the title of a suit
filed in the district court today. In the
complaint the plaintiff alleges that on
December 15, 1899, the defendants offered
to sell her a lease on the Red Boot. lodg-'
ing house, at No. SO North lain street,
which was held in the name Of Defend
amt Rolfe, II with the intent to deceive
and defraud, falsely and fraudulently
represented to her that they had a right
to do it and could vest her with a good
title to the property: that she. believing
and relying on said representations and
promises, purchased the lease and con-
tents Of the lodging house, paying the
defendants $3.50 in cash and notes Sc
cured by mortgage on the property. One
of the notes, says the plaintiff, was for
$3.50, n three others We're for 500 each.
She further alleges that the lease was
not ~assignable and the defendants could
not give a purchaser a good title to it.,
as the lessor refused to consent to the
assignment and has notified her to va
cate the premises; that the contents Of
the lodging house without the lease are
OF no greater value than $3.50. She there
fore asks for Judgment for 81 300 dam
ages against the defendants and re-
quests that they be enjoined and re-
strained from negotiating the notes and
mortgage until her prayer for Judgment
is satisfied. She further asks that the
defendants be compelled to deliver the
notes and mortgage to her as part of the
judgment.

SCHNEPEL DENIED
HABEAS CORPUS.

After Judge Clancy had disposed Of the
case Of the state against PasQuila Guidoni
about 4:30 o'clock yesterday Attorney
English presented to him the application
for a writ of habeas corpus in the Schne-
pei case, the preparation of wh.ch was
mentioned in the Inter Mountain last
evening, but the judge declined to grant
the writ. In the document Mr.. English
alleged that Schnepel was being unlaw-
fully deprived of his liberty by Sheriff
Reagan and he thought by reason of the
fact that the Information against Seine
pei had been signed by the chief deputy
county attorney instead of the county at
torney the prisoner was entitled to his lib
erty on a foul. He maintained that such
an information was contrary to law-that
in order to max it effective it should
have been signed by the county attorney
in person.
This is the point upon which Judge
Clancy granted Schnepel a new trial and
the supreme court decided he was wrong.
When the court declined to issue the
writ Mr.. English withdrew the applica-
ton and said he intended to apply to the
supreme court. In the meantime Schnepel
Is being held at the county Jail awaiting
transfe to the penitentiary to serve the
original sentence of one year imposed
upon him for cattle stealing in 1897.

H. 0. Wilson to Take Care Of
O.. R. & N. Business.
CHANGE ISA SURPRISE
Mr.. St, Clair Received Instructions
Last Night-NewS to Mr..
Wilson.

Con st. Clair, general agent of the Ore
gon ailway and Navigation company re-
ceived instructions from the management
of that road last night to abandon his Of
flee and transfer his business to H. O.
Wilson, joint agent of the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line roads.
The announcement was in the nature of
a surprise, as nothing was sad at the
Salt Lake meeting of the general officials
with reference to the abandonment of the
Navigation company's Butte office, and
this circumstance rather gave the impress
sion among local railway men that the
office would at least be maintained for a
time.
Mr.. st. Clair Immediately reported his
instructions to Mr.. Wilson who wired the
Salt Lake officials for particulars in re-
gard to the change. At a late hour this
afternoon Mr.. Wilson had received no re-
ply to his telegram.
Mr.. St. Clair has off1ciated as general
agent for the o. r. & N. company at this
point for several years and during that
time has made a large number of friends
who will regret hat the changed condi-
ton of affairs will necessitate his remov-
al to some other place.

state are studying her methods. She Wis

She owns over 5000 acres along the
Tennessee river. OF this 200 acres are
under cultivation. the balance is tim
ber of fine hardwood. principally white
oak. She cultvates 100 acres herself,
the balance is rented on the tenant
system. She has twenty negro families
on the place, most OF them hire by the
year. Each family has a cabin. garden
and pasture. rent free. and freNood.

tion." says Mrs. Wilder in letter,
lies i'm my faculty OF getting along
