IMPORTANT ACTION

Judge Knowles arrived in the city last
night and his morning convened the
United States court for the February
term. Only a few cases were set for
trial however, the most of the mining
suits going over for the term. There
are eight mining suits between the Bos-
ton & Montana, Butte & Boston and
Montana Ore Purchasing company on the
calendar, but as many Of them involve
the same questions as he suits recently
decided by the supreme court or pend
ing before that body, the attorneys were
willing that they be passed at present,
but they may possibly be called up be-
fore the close of this term of court.
There are five cases on the calendar
between the Colusa-Parrot and Anacon-
da Mining companies, involving apex
right on III Never Sweat and Colusa-
Parrot. 1t was agreed between the at
torneys on both sides that the main case
and most important action pending was
the suit for ejectment in which the Co
lusa-Parrott is plaintiff and the Anacon-
do company is defendant. 1t was de-
cided that this action should be the first
set for trial n MI. Dixon, for the An
aconda company, asked the court that a
date he axed. Judge Knowles set the
case for the 9Th of March.
Another important matter discussed at
the session of court this morning was the
suit of Erwin Davis VS.. Andrew J. Da-
Wis of the First National bank. The
suit involves the ownership Of about a
million dollars worth of stock in the
First National bank, which was present
ed by A.. j. DAVIS, ST., to Andy Davis.
The case was decided on several occa-
ciNnc IN ory0 ~ Alo $3.50 AL.
preme court Of Washington passed up
on it not long ago.
Owing to the fact that Judge Knowles
was one Of the directors of the bank
he felt a hesitancy in having the case
tried before him. Forbis inquired If an
other judge could not be called in at
this term of court.
II hardly think I should sit in this
case," said Judge Knowles, "as 1t in
wolves a right to the stock and as they
charge me with being one of the con-
spirators. Judge Beatty is now in San
Francisco and it will he impossible to
secure him."
1T might be possible to get another
judge" suggested MI. Forbis.
1T was expected that Judge Gilbert
would look after all these matters in the
states of Washington, Montana, and Ida
no, but I think it hardly possible to have
him here at this term of COURT said
the judge.
It was decided to pass the matter at
present.
