SUES FOR S., 100000.
THAT AMOUNT ASKED FROM E. ROLLINS
MORSE AND A MINING COMPANY.

The summons and complaint in action
brought by the Montana Ore Purchasing Com
pany. of which F. Augustus Heinze is presl-
dent against E. Rollins Morse of Boston. and
the Butte and Boston Consolidated Mining COM
pany, of New-York, were filed yesterday in the
Office of the County Clerk
Last evening, at the Waldorf-Astoria, Mr. Morse
was served with papers in the suit by a man
from the office of Franklin Bien. the attorney
for the Montana Ore Purchasing Company. Mr..
Morse is we'll known in Boston. He is a banker.
The suit is brought to recover damages in the
sum of $500 600. 1t is charged in the COM
plant that Mr.. Morse. as chairman of the re-
organization committee, bought the property OF
the Butte and Boston Company, of Montana. at
Butte, at the receivers and masters sale, on
February'2 1897; that under the reorganization
agreement he conveyed the entire property, in
cIuding the Michael Davitt lode claim, to the
defendant Butte and Boston Consolidated Min
ing Company of NewYork on May =, 1897.
In March, 1897, suit in Morses name was
brought in the United States Circuit Court of
Montana against the Montana Ore Purchasing
Company to recover damages for alleged
trespass in regard to the Michael Dewitt lode
claim. He obtained injunction restraining
the Montana Ore Purchasing Company from en-
tering on the lode claim. On trial of the case
the jury failed to agree.
After the first trial Mr. Morse was examined
before a commissioner in Boston in May. 1879.
in an action instituted by the Butte and Boston
company against John Forbis. as executor and
T. Augustus HenZe, as intervenor, in relation
to the Snohomsh Tramway lode claims. and Mr..
Morse declared under oath that he had never
had any individual interest whatever in the
Michael Dewitt, but had simply acted as the
chairman of the reorganization committee.
The Montana Ore Purchasing Company defend
ant in that suD served an amended answer
alleging that Morse was not the individual owner
of the Michael Dewitt but simply held title as
trustee of an express trust. Mr.. Morse in his
replication in December. 1899, stated that he
was then the owner. He defeated on the
second trial, and verdict was given by the
jury in favor of the Montana Ore Purchasing
set aside the verdict and ordered another trial.
In January. 1901, Mr.. Morse again ex-
amined in Boston before commissioner in an
action instituted by the Butte and Boston Min
ing Company against the Montana Ore PurChas-
lode claim. and he testified that he had no per
sonal knowledge Of any Of the litigation in his
name.
1t is asserted in the complaint that there was
a conspiracy between Mr.. Morse and the Butte
and Boston Consolidated Mining Company to
maintain the injunction upOn a false claim of
title. and that the Montana Ore Purchasing Com
pany has been damaged in the sum of S3,oOO.OD,
that amount being based upon the declarations
by Mr. Morse in his action for trespass against
the Montana Ore Purchasing Company 10 the
value of the property.

GRAPH COMPANY

case were served yesterday on John E. Searles.
president of the defendant company. and
stephen F. Moriarty. the vice president.
In the application to the court it is stated
that March 1, 1900 the Edison company
gave a mortgage for S30O000 to the Guaranty

notes of $4,000 each. One note was not paid at
maturity, and judgment was obtained in the
New-York courts by the National Bank of

isfied.
The amount named in the application by the
United States company is only S276 90 for
which judgment was obtained last May. but the
Essex County Sheriff failed to find any prop
erty to levy on. 1t is alleged, therefore, that
the Edison company is nsolvent, and the court
is asked to restrain it's officers from diSpoSing
OF the franchise and other property. and that a
receiver be appointed
