HUNTER CREEK
CASE ENDED
JUDGE CRAY GRANTS DEFEN.
DANT's MOTION TO DISMISS.
Says Plaintiffs All Knew that They
Were Not Making Deposits in
Savings Bank, but Were Entering
Into Mining Venture.

Judge Willard r. Cray this morning
granted defendants motion to dismiss
the case of Nellie l.. Finnegan against
w. P. Mcdonald, M. Lulu Brain and
other officers, directors and promoters
of the Hunter Creek Mining and Mill
ing company, in which the plaintiffs
asked $4,000 damages for alleged
fraud and misrepresentation of funds.
In making his ruling this morning
the court stated that the evidence Of
plaintiffs failed to prove that the mine
had not been purchased as a
legitimate mining enterprise, that
there had been any false representa-
tons to prospective purchasers Of
stock or any fraud in the promotion
Of the enterprise.
THE plaintiffs all knew" said his
honor, that they were not making
deposits In savings bank, but We're
entering into mining venture. The
property in Stevens county, Washing
ton, was legally purchased. Some work
1T was we'll done. AS to any misap-
preparation on the part of the officers
and directors that is not in issue here.
An action on that ground must be
taken part in by all the stockholders
and only a very small proportion Of
them are represented in this case
The result Of this trial which has
lasted for the past four weeks is well
coined, especially by w. p. Mcdonald
and M. Lulu Brain, the chief promo
tiers of the mine, who are now
under indictment for embezzlement in
| connection with their management OF
the affairs of the corporation. It is
practically assured that a conviction
| cannot be obtained and it seems GER
| tain that next term the cases against
these defendants will be nolled on mo-
ton OF the county attorney.

MINNESOTA FORGOTTEN
Shevlin's Absence Resulted in No Ac.

Shevlin's Absence Resulted in No Ac-
ton Taken Regarding Primary Law.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building
Washington.
Washington, Dec. 14.-The failure
of Thomas Fl. Shevlin, national COM
mitteeman from Minnesota, to attend
the recent meeting of the national
committee in this city, or to give his
proxy to a Minnesota man, has re-
suited In nothing being done to
straighten out the tangle in which the
primary election law places the state
in the matter of selecting district del
egates to the national conventions.
Since 1884 all calls for national con-
ventlons have provided for a conven-
ton In each congressional district in
the country, and the call for the 1904
attention of the national committee
been directed to the peculiar situation
in Minnesota, it could have been cor
rected. One additional phrase in the
call would have fixed it.
Shevlin ignored the members of the
Minnesota delegation in congress when
he gave his proxy to Senator Hanna,
and Hanna carried the matter still
farther. altho Internationally, when
he gave the proxy to Perry Heath.
The Minnesota delegation, which was
aware of the need for some action,
asked Alexander Mckenzie, member
of the national committee from North
| Dakota, and also Perry Heath, to look
| out for Minnesota's interests, but both
| forgot it. Had member Of the del
egation had the proxy, however, every
thing would have been attended to-
Meetings of the committee were ex-
ecutive, and, therefore, outsiders could
not be present to state the Minnesota
i case.

COUNTY OFFICES
AT LOGGERHEADS
THE GRAND JURY WILL LOOK
INTO THE MATTER.
1t Is Question of Approving Bills
County Commissioners Attorney, 1t
Appears, Doesn't Do 1t i'm Way to
Suit the Sheriff's Office-Friction
Over Tax Judgments.

A difference Of opinion between the
county sheriffs and the county attOr-
ney's offices on the subject of bills that
should be allowed has developed into a,
fight at which the grand jury will act
as referee. The ''go'' is billed for to-
meet for what will probably be their
last session this term. G. l.. Smith, at
torney for the county commissioners,
has been instructed to appear to di-
vulge the inner workings of the sys-
tenn under which bills are made, filed
and approved.
Last week the sheriff made COM
plant to the grand jury because Mr..
Smith refused to O. X. certain items on
his expense account for the month.
Mr.. Smith was questioned by the
grand jury. That body became inter-
ested to such an extent that Mr.. Smith
was instructed to look up certain mat
tiers and make thoro report at the
next meeting to the jury.
More friction has appeared between
the two offices in the recent personal
tax collections. When the citations
for the 1901 personal taxes were is
sued and many of them returned
marked mot found" last summer, Mr.
Smith stated that it was due to the
that many Of the citations returned
mot found" were for men he met on
the street every day. He accordingly
ordered new list of citations. When
the 1902 cases came up to the county
commissioners in July Notwithstanding
the fact that many of the warrants
were against persons whom the sheriff
reported as non-residents, upon the
| advice of their attorney, the commits
sioncrs put them all in judgment.
La :er when judgments had been en-.
tered ard executions were being or
| dered Mr.. Smith urged the sheriff to
| hurry up the levies. Chief A. l.. Jones
deputy sheriff, informed the assistant
county attorney that owing to other
| pressing business he could levy only
SO many executions at a time and that
if more We're sent to him he would
send them back. This he did, and the
relations between the two officers are
| more strained than ever

Associated Charities Offers Services to
Those Giving Dinners.
Successful application Of the clearing
house plan to the giving of Thanksgiving
dinners has Les the Associated Charities
to offer it's services for the checking UP
of lists of beneficiaries of intended Christ
mas charities.
This plan insures to organizations OF
individuals the exclusive care of partic-
ular friends or wards, and it makes il
possible to avoid duplication. Genera
Manager James F. jackson says that this
plan leads to privacy instead Of pub
licity. because the giving can be SO adj

that three or four are trying to do. Al

ton between the giyer and the beneficiary

THE NY. FELLOWS

MABEL PARKER BUSY WRITING
IN THE TOMBS.
A Minneapolis Man Who Saw Her in
Prison Saturday Says Confinement
Appears to Have Benefited Her
She Congdently Expects AcquittaI.

reason given by Frank S. Gold Of 100
Fourth street n, for the sudden
prominence in New York City Of Mrs.
Mabel Parker, the so-called Queen of
Forgers'' upon whom Mr.. Gold called
in the Tombs last Saturday. But she
is a pretty girl, of course" he adds,
and a clever one"
II never knew Mabel said Mr..
Gold to-day, altho I'm we'll acquainted
with her relatives here. Yes, she was
a apupil in one Of the ST. Paul con-
vents and she ran away from another
convent in the east when she got mar
ried. 1 happened to be near the
Tombs and I thought 1t would cheer
her up a bit to meet somebody from
her old home.
But she didn't need cheering; she
was looking very happy. She's
gained thirty pounds since she went to
the prison several months ago, when
she was arrested upon the charge of
papers say she is a victim of the NOR
phine habit, and perhaps her supply
of the drug has been restricted.
Yet she's treated as we'll as if she
was a distinguished guest. All her
meals are sent in from a restaurant.
She generally sits about the matron's
office, far from the stuffy old cells.
She was wearing a handsome silk
kimona when I saw her and was
reading a novel. She's rather tall and
slight but weighs 100 pounds. She
has big, blue eyes, fair hair, a, clear
complexion and delicate features, tho
she's not what you'd dcall beautiful
But she makes little sketches and
writes stories; she furnishes the New
York yellow journals with illustrated
accounts of her own trial, and the
yellows are paying her big sums every
day, hear, to get these contributions.
"She said she felt sure she'd be &C
quilted; then she'd come back here
and show people she wasn't so bad as
she was painted. But she prefers the
metropolitan life Of the east, she says,
and she will not abandon literature.'
