INJUNCTION SERVED.
Brehme--Wenke Claim Is
 Tied Up

On June 16 Mir. Frank Bartlett served papers on Chas. Brehm re- training the latter from working the Slate Creek claim which was supposed to belong to Brehm, Wenke and Newcomb.
 The facts of the case are as fol- lows: In the spring of 1900 Jim Newcomb, under a grub-stake con tract entered into with Frank Bartlett, went to what is now known as the Chesna District to prospect and locate mining property.
 When Slate Creek was being To- cated Newcomb was on the ground and secured q claim for himself. and one for Bartlett, by power of Attorney. Shortly thereafter when all the claims on the creek were staked, Chas. Brehm and Harry Wenke appeared on the scene and seeing Batrlett's claim located bv an agent, they iInmediatly jumped the same by posting their own loca- tion notice thereon. Newcomb on several occasions protested and threw off their notice but the oth- CTS presisted in replacing it and thus the ownership was disputed until working time arrived.
 Then the jumpers eagerly sought a compromise and after considerable delay Newcomb finally agreed to settlement the effect of which was that Wenke, Brehm and Bartlett should each have one third un- divided interest in the claim. This was all done without consult ing Bartlett, and under these con ditions the claim was worked last year, Newcomb looking after Bart lett's interest.
 Last fall Harry Wenke sold out his interest to Oscar and Ray Lar son and left for his home in Pittsburg Penn.
 The present injunction, issued in in the interest of MT. Bartlet, is in- tended to restrain Brehme and Wenke, or Wenke's assigns, from working the claim pending a suit. in which Bartlett will undertake to prove his right to possess the en- tire claim .on the grub-stake con tract, which gave Newcomb the right only to locate.

The members of Post A." T. P. A.. are to be congratulated on the election last night of MT. Lucien LaTaste as President of the Post. It was an excccd- ingly wise selection and the unanimo as manner in which it was done shows how the members of the Post appreciate that fact. Mir. LaTaste is unquestionably the most enthusiastic, hardest working T. P. A. man in Alabama, if not in the entire organization. At the time of his election to the National Presidency of the organization he was President of the local Post and of the State division. Never before or since has the State di- vision or the local Post fiourished as they did during his incumbency of office, but he resigned them both on his election as head of the national body.
