Washington, Dec. 23.-Nothing has

Under the rules an employe is allowed
three days grace in which to file cause
why he should not be dismissed, and al
though this rule having been made by

Maclay will be given a reasonable time

In line with the determination already
reached to stop t5e further discussion of

Boston & Montana After Exhaustive Hearing.
FULL HISTORY OF A REMARKABLE CASE
Ligaton-Judge Cancy's Decison Held Be
The eCaseR Remand to His Court.

the principal question presented to it
for examination arise from Judge Clam
cy's rulings excluding from the evidence
and record the previous disposition Of
the case both in another branch Of the
district court in Silver Bow county and
in the supreme court.
The Comanche lode claim was lo-
Gated in 1879 by D. H. Upton and N. l.:
Turner, who each owned a one-half in
terest in the property. Upton conveyed
his interest to George NJ. Tong and H.
l.. Frank who each received a quarter
interest. The latter sold his interest to
Wetzstein, but previous to this Upton
made a relocation Ct the Co.nanche
claim which was in litigation ami con-
veyed half interest in the Grand Prize
claim to Patrick Largey, who is also
one of the defendants in the action.
Clancy's Refusal Erroneous.
Uptons intention was to convey but a
quarter interest to Largey but through 2
mistake he gave Largey half Interest,"
Largey, however, represented to Upton
that the conveyance would in no mar
ner affect his title to the Comanche
claim.
Largey. it is alleged, promised 70 con-
vey back to Upton the quarter i terest
but failed to do so. The location Of the
Grand Prize claim over the CornanchA
location was, it is alleged, made for the
purpose of protecting the Upton and
Turner interests should the Comanche
location be set aside. 1t was held good.
however.
After Upton had conveyed his share
in the Grand Prize claim which was
over the Comanche location, Messrs.
Tong, Largey, Turner and Bielahberg
applied to the land office and received a
title to the land, and it was latet con-
veyed to the Comanche Mining conl-
pany and then to the Boston 8 Montana
company.
The court characterizes the refusal Of
Judge Clancy to admit the records of the
previous trials involving the same ques-
tions as erroneous.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Helena, Dec. 23.--The supreme court in
a decision written by Chief Jus lice
Brantly this morning reversed Judge
Clancys findings in the case Of Adolph
Wetzstein against the Boston & Montana
in which the plaintiff sought to recover
a one-fourth interest in the Come nche
mine. Judge Clancy sometime ago grant
ed preliminary injunction which result
ed in the closing down of the mine pend
ing the final adjudication of the case.
Wetzs:ein claimed ownership upon a
deed received from H. L. Frank for a
ore-fourth interest in the mine
Nj. Frank received his deed from d. N.
Upton, one of the original locatOrs of the
Comanche claim. The case has been in
the courts continuously for three years
and the supreme court in its decision
states that Judge Clancy erred in refus-
ing to consider the past record of the
case when the points involved had pre-.
viously been passed upon BY two lower
courts and once by the supreme court.
Remanded to Lower Court.
The case is remanded to the district
court with instructions to regard the
previous record of the case
The suit brought by WetZsten was
originally before a jury in Silver Row
county and he was defeated. Wetzstein
then asked Judge Lindsay for an injunc-
ton to enforce his claim Of n quarter
ownership and it was refusel him. He
appealed to the supreme court and Judge
Lindsay's refusal to grant the injunction
was affirmed.
Wetzstein then applied to Judge Clancy
for an injunction.
The Boston & Montana company set up
in it's answer that the court had
previously adjudicated the points in
volved but Judge Clancy took no recog-
nzanca of this contention and the case
was APPEALED with the result named.
Opinion by Judge Brantley.
In it's opinion, which is written by
Chief Justice Brantly, the court says
