LAW COURT REPORT.
Decision Reversed In Hancock
County Case

county case.
According to rescript just received
from the law court, the decision for the
plaintiff in the case of Charles l. Dean of
Brewer VS. L. Fl. Cushman OF Ellsworth, is
reversed. Six other cases are affected by
this decision. The rescript was drawn by
Justice Savage.
The case in question was tried before
Judge Vose in the municipal court at
Bangor on June %, 1899. The plaintiff
sued for S10.15 for conversion of hay, and
judgment was given him for the full
amount. The case was then taken to the
law court on exceptions. By the rescript
just received, these exceptions are sus-
tanned and the judgment of the lower
court is reversed. Martin & Cook ap-
peared for the plaintiff and John A. Pet
ers, jr., of Ellsworth, for the defence. The
rescript is as follows:
A mortgagor of chattels having the
right of possession until condition
broken may sell his right to redeem them,
and il he sells that and only that, he may
lawfully deliver possession of the prop
erty to the purchaser. But II such mort
gagor sells the entire property, the mort
gagee's interest as we'll as his own, the
sale is unlawful, as against the mortgage,
and when accompanied by the removal
and delivery OF the property by the mort
gagor, it constitutes a conversion on his
part. Such conversion puts an end to the
mortgagor's right OF possession, and i'm
mediately revests that right in the mort
gagee; it does not follow, however, that
the purchaser is likewise guilty Of con-
version.
1t is the opinion OF the court that one
who purchases in good faith, without ac-
tual notice. mortgaged chattels of the
mortgagor in possession, If he has merely
received the goods into his own possession
and has exercised no other dominion or
control over them to the exclusion of the
mortgage, or in defiance OF his rights, il
not liable for a conversion, without de
mand or refusal.
| Exceptions sustained.

SPOTTED ON THEIR ARRIVAL
If They Attempt to Vote on Monday Their Arrest
will Follow, as They Are All Known
to the Authorities

day, as was contemplated. they will be
prosecuted for perjury and a violation
of the election laws.
County Attorney Breen states that
evidence enough has been secured to
make it warm for the man who had the
would-be suffers" sent here from Ana
conda, a@xl that if any person will swear
to a complaint he will prosecute the per-
son implicated to the full extent of the
law. Mr.. Breen held conference with
E. s. Booth, member Of the republican
city central committee this morning, and
asked the support of that body in the
effort to prevent illegal registration. The
request was cordially granted and a strict
watch will be kept upon the rolls If
any Of the Anaconda crowd tries to reg.
lister he will soon find himself behind
the bars.
The saloon keeper declares that the
crowd came to Butte without anybody at
all sending for them. He says they are
all residents of Butte. who took adyan-
tage of the fact that the rolls are being
held open to-day for those who were out
of town to register.

TAKEN UNDER
AMUSEMENT
JUDGE CLANCY HEARD ARGU-
MENTs IN THE COPPER
TRUST CASE.
WANT TO INSPECT
UNDERGROUND WORKINGS
OF the Anaconda, Never Sweat, St.
Lawrence and Other Mines-Will
Be Decided April IS.

The hearing of the order to show cause
Why Burdette OConnor and his agents
should not be allowed to make an in
spection and survey of the underground
workings of the Anaconda. ST. Lawrence,
Never Sweat and several other mines
owned by the Anaconda Mining COM
pany was called in Judge Clancy's court
to-day, but just as the button was press
ed Attorney A. J.. Shores, representing
the Anaconda company, filed demurrer
and entered an objection to the hearing
of the proceedings on the ground that
the matter was not within the jurisdic-
ton of the court. The two proposed
checks to the proceedings We're argued
and at the conclusion of the presentation
of the reputed facts the judge took the
matter under Amusement. saying he
would endeavor to render decision on
April Is.
O'Connor the plaintiff, alleges in his
application that he owns the Copper
Trust mining claim and that the defen-
dant company is extracting ore from sew
eral of it's own claims close by and might
possibly be working in veins having their
apexes in Copper Trust ground.

WERE SWORN IN.

At the two registration districts of the
city today about 40 men were sworn in
Butte, although ne is property
by a man who has no legal residence in
owner here. The republican central
committee has the names of all the men
the lodging houses in which they are
staying and all other information neces-
sary, and If they attempt to vote on
Monday their arrest will follow. This is
no bluff
In the first district, No. Is North Ari-
iona street. the registration at O'Clock
was 26 and number of changes had
been made. The majority of those regis.
tering We're Syrians, but they seemed to
have no trouble in getting the necessary
affidavit to show that they We're out Of
the city when the regular registration
was on. In this district about 40 chai-
lenges We're filed by republicans, ami
this action caused a furry of excitement,
but 1t died down in a very short time.
In the second district, in the Armory
of the Auditorium, the new registration
at o'clock was 40, and as in the first
district number of changes We're made
About 40 challenges were filed by the
republicans, but in this district it caused
little comment. These challenges assert
that the people named in them voted
outside of the city at the last state cleo
tion or else that they have not been
residents of the city the required length
of time to entitle them to vote at Mon
days election.
The registration offices will be ope
until p. m. and from until 8

TWO SMALL FIRES.
Advantage of Having the City Divided
Into Two lire Districts.

Two alarms We're received by fire de-
partment headquarters at the same mo-
r,ent shortly before 1 o'clock today, and
the value of having the city divided
into two districts was demonstrated.
The alarm that rang the bell was from
box SO, at Main and Aluminium, and
while the horses We're being hitched up
a telephone message from the Arizona
station announced that an alarm had
been received from box IS.
The fire at Main and Aluminium was
a chimney fire and did not amount to
anything, and it was allowed TO burn
itself out. 1t was in two or three
loom house.
The other fire was in tWo-story
brick veneered house at 1870 Second
street, occupied by H. A. Garner. The
ground floor is used as grocery store
and Mr.. Garner resides in the apart
nents above it. The woodwork of the
wall had become ignited through a de-
fective flue,, and before it was extin-
sdished burned the wall, floor and CELL
ing and caused about $50 damages The
building is covered by $500 Insurance.
Chief Sanger was greatly pleased over
Inc manner in which the alarms came
in. There was no interference and as
stated, it showed the wisdom of having
the city divided into districts There
are really three districts. The one COW
cred by the Quartz street station, the
enc covered by the Arizona station and
the business district, covered by the
chemical engine, which is kept in the
City hall building. While the appara tus
was out on the two calls this afternoon
the chemical was watching over the in
terests of the business district.

union and the International Union Of
Bricklayers have been at loggerheads
since the 8-hour movement began last
fall. The members of the former decided
to work 8 hours whenever it could be OBJ
tanned but to allow their members to
work hours if they so desired. This Mr.
Owen says displeased the members Of the
other unions and they decided to single
him out for victim.

The democratic party Of Butte at
tempted yesterday and this morning to
turn one of it's old fragrant tricks, but it
ran up against something and fell with
a thud that might have been heard from
the center to the circumference of the
eight wards. The trick was nothing more
or less than the old one of colonizing
voters from Anaconda to help the party
out on election day. The telephone is re-
sponsible for the exposure of the scheme.
Yesterday morning Butte man inter-
ested in the success of the candidacy Of
w. H. Davey for mayor, placed the ear
trumpet of telephone to one of his
hearers and called up a man in Ana
conda who is also interested in seeing
Davey elected
Hello, there, JIMMY" he exclaimed.
How many men can you send US as soon
as possible?"
Probably 2oO." was the reply. How
many do you want?"
"All we can get. We want to elect
Davey without fail and cannot afford to
take chances. 1t is to our interest. you
know, to elect a democratic mayor. 1t
means protection to home industries
See? We will pay the expense of trans
portation."
Jimmy replleO tnat ne would rOOnO up
the herd at once and he kept his word,
but neither he nor the Butte man with
whom he was doing business knew that
someone opposed to their proposed plan
to debauch the ballot boxes of Butte had
heard the entire conversation between
them and given the snap away to some
Of the leaders of the other parties.
When the afternoon train from Ana
conda arrived in Butte fifteen stalwart
members of the smelter city "Relief
Corps" of the democracy alighted and
made their way up town. In the even
ing thirty-two more arrived and this
morning another contingent of fifteen
came over, all with the intention of
lining up with the democracy of this city
on election day and taking chances on
going to the penitentiary for perjury in
an endeavor to assist a political party
that is positively known to be corrupt
On arriving here the gangs proceeded
to a certain saloon for refreshments and
instructions. but this morning, while
lined up in their headquarters, Tom
Kinds, the populist candidate for mayor,
walked into their midst and invited ev-
cry one of them to step up to the bar
and have drink, remarking as he did
so.
Look here, boys I know what you
are here for and I want to tell you the
game is off,
A little later County Attorney Breen
was consulted in regard to the matter
and he saw some of the men, the result
being that if any of them register to-
