than to have his rights declared.
Nothing else appearing. prasump-
ton of good faith and proper
motive must be INDUCED in his favor.
Moreover. the fact that the district court
issued an injunction in connection with
the ejectment suit and after hearing
thereon, justifies the inference that the
court was Of the opinion that the plain
tiffs were probably wrong in their claims.
They had opportunity on that hearing to
show that the claims of Finlen were
fraudulent and without foundation. as
well as that the motives prompting him
were malicious. ye. it seems they did not
avail themselves Of this opportunity.
That Finlen brought suit to restrain the
alleged trespaSses upon the Minnie Heal
ey claim by third party through the
workings in the Gambetta and Piccolo
claims. and did not prosecute it vigor-
ously. furnishes in itself no ground for
the charge that he is acquiescing in
wrongs to the plaintiffs by such third
parties. He was and is under no obliga-
tons to plaintiffs to press this suit He

prehenSion he could not succeed: or be-
cause he became satisfied he was wrong:
o. because he made some satisfactory ar
rahscment With the corporation about
compensation. In any event. it comes
with Ill grace from the plaintiffs to insist
that any obligation rests upon him in
this connection. While they deny he has
any interest in the property, there being
nothing in their way until they pro-
cured the appointment of a receiver

REMARKABLE ESCAPE
OF THREE men IN A SHAFT
DROPPED WITH THE CAGE $50 FEET-GREATEsT INJURY sUs-
TANNED WAS A BROKEN LIMB.

A remarkable accident occurred in the
Rose mine just beyond the Moonlight at
1890 today. Three men fell with a
bucket a distance of $50 feet and the
Creates injury was a broken leg.
John Yocum, the engineer was the one
who had the leg broken and his two COM
panions, Tim Stevens ami John Regain
were simply cut about the head and bad
ly shaken up. Yocum was sent to the
hospital for trea tment.
According to the story of George Con-
rad, who was running the engine at the
time of the accident. the brake failed to
work ana the bucket With the three men
on it dashed to the bottom with fright
full rapidity. Conrad was very much
frightened and ran away from the shaft
and after in rorming number of men at
the Moonlight what had occurred, came
down town and gave himself UP to the
city officers. He was locked up in the
city Jail.
Charles B. Mcpherson, Owen King and
Malcolm McPhail went down the lad

three dead men, but We're pleasantly sur

three coming he asked them for mon

Special to the Inter Mountain,
Helena, Feb. 25.--The bitterness be-
tween the Clark and Heinze forces in
this city was intensified last evening and
today by a sensational rumor to the eff
feet that man named Knapp has been
summoned by Senator Chandler to give
alleged evidence against Senator Clark
ana democratic political methods in Nom
tana.
Knapp is said now to be on the way to
washington ana giving out interviews
being that Heinze Will oppose the seat
ing of Clark.
Mr. Heinze is quoted in an interview al
saying
If Senator Clark carries out the prom
ises made me during the campaign, am
not opposed to him; if he does not, l am
opposed to Senator Clark"
On being asked If he would go east
to oppose Senator Clark's admittance to
the senate, Mr.. Heinze is quoted in an
interview as answering, THAT decline
to discuss. But l am not responsible
for knapn's utterances in any way"
Politicians generally believe the story
Is true. 1t is stated by a man well
known both in Butte and Helena that
Knapp was the constant companion of
Mr.. Heinze during the late campaign.
