Heinze Cross-Bill UP Again-Proceed-
ings in Various Cases.

AA6S
The Heinze cross bill in the suit of the
Butte & Boston Consolidated Mining
company against Joh J. Forbis and
others is fast attaining a notortety that
may some day place it on a par with
Magma Charta or Down Went Nc
Ginty."
In some form or other that cross bill
manage to pop it's head out of the'dark
backward and abysm" of time at nearly
every session of the federal court. Judge
Knowles has admitted the document,
but the rival attorneys Won have it that
way; they waylay the cross bill and try
to sandbag it at every dark spot i'm its
legal pathway.
Through Attorney George M. Sinclair
IN attempt was made by John S. Harris
as receiver to nave r. Aug. Heinze d.
rected to set out specifically in his OBJ
j~ections and exceptions to the several re-
ports and monthly statements of the re-
ceiver for the months of March to Au-
gust, 1900, inclusive, wherein the reports
fail to account for the sum of S546.12, as
alleged.
After argument, Judge Knowles over
ruled the motion and the cross bill set
tied back into it's hole with a sigh OF
satisfaction yer another victory. 1t
would surprise nobody in the case, how
ever, if it popped up at the next session
Of court with a campaign button at
tached to its snowy front.
