MINNIE HEALEY MINE SUIT &C.
CUPYING JUDGE CLANCY's
ATTENTION..
ONE DECISION WILL
COVER ALL THE POINTS.
Motion in the Enoch Johns Land
Suit-Complaint Against
Charles Hanscom.

Judge Clancy spent the entire day in
hearing the petitions of the Boston n
Montana company for permission to sue
Receiver Wilson of the Minnie Healey
mine to recover judgment for damages
for ore alleged to have been gouged from
veins belonging to the Gambetta. Pic
colo and Dayton lode claims by the re-
ceiver in the operation of the property
over which he has control by order of
the court. The first petition related to
the Gambetta and Piccolo. and after all
OF the dips spurs and angles OF 1T had
been presented to the court the hearing
of the one relating to the Dayton was
taken up. A decision in both cases will
probably be rendered simultaneously. for
the issues involved are practically the
same The receiver does not deny haV-
ing taken some of the ore but maintains
that the veins from which 1t was eX-

pany, however, does not share this be-
lief and is putting up strong argument
in support of it's contention.

court today. but heard only one matter.
the motion of the plaintiff in the suit of
c. w. Cannon and others against Enoch

ed answer and at the conclusion of the

advisemcnt. The suit involves title to
a plat of ground south of the city. 1t
has been in the courts for years.
