having shown w. w. Wishon and Pat
sheehan through the Silver Bow in the
alleged interest OF the defendants.
In the complaint Adams alleges tina:
i'll 1897 and for a long time previous,
the defendants owned tive-eighths Of the
Mcqueen placer, east Of the city; tina,
in 1897 and before that year he was in
the employ of the Butte & Boston Min
ing company and was familiar with
the company's property, and also the
property of the defendant: that about
February l, 1898, he and the defendants
entered into an agreement by which he
was to furnish the defendants. at all
times, with such information as he pos
sessed, that would enable the defendants
to ascertain the quantity Of mine1a in
their claim. so they might make repre-
sensations as to it's value and effect it's
hnS
erty for less than it's true value.
It was further agreed between the
d feEdants an himself. Adams says. III 1t
the defendants should pay him $1,000 for
his services, in keeping them posted. and
that the money was to become due and
payable when the property was sold.
Adams claims that May of the pres
ent year, the defendants sold their in
terest in the property to Franklin Far
reil, the purchase price being s4oO, 900
for a seven-eighths interest. He says
that between February l, 1897. and May
:, 1901, he furnished the defendants
with valuable information in reference
to the said Mcqueen placer. and al
though he has demanded his 5000 since
the last named date it has not been paid,
the defendants, he alleges, refusin:, to
pay it.
In second count in the complaint
Adams alleges that August 1, 1899, he
made an agreement with w. W. Wishon
and one Patrick Sheehan by which he
was to take Wishon and Sheehan
through the Silver Bow mine for the pur.
pose of allowing them to make an exam
nation of the property in behalf of the
defendants. He says that Vision and
Sheehan agreed to pay him $1,000 for
his srvices; that said Silver Bow 1nine
is near the Mcqueen placer. The $1,000,
he alleges, was to be paid when the
Mcqueen was sold. He says that after
the property changed hands he demand
ed his $1,000. but the defendants re-
fused to pay it. Judgment for $4,000 is
therefore demanded. Breen & Mackel
are the plaintiffs attorneys.
