M. J. HARTLEY
 GETS BIG SUM
LOS ANGELES COURT DECIDES
 PRosPEsToR s,tKEp HIM
With Others He Sert Men Into Nevada to Locate Claims, Afterward Dis
 posing of His Interests Very Low


 M J. Hartley, who owns a clothes cleaning establishment in this city, yesterday received S4,500 as the first installment on mining interests he holds in Nevada This sum he has been awarded by the court in Los An gees, which have decided that he and others were deceived by a prospector, whom they grub staked.
 The suit was brought against E. G. Butts and C. l.. Colgan, and developed the fact that the men who put up the money to send them out on a prospect ing tour sold certain interests to them under false representations. The plaintiffs in the suit were awarded the damages asked for. Hartley left Bis bee yesterday for Pima county, where he goes to look after other mining interests.
 On December :, 1901, the complaints were filed in Los Angeles by NJ. J. Hartley and P. F. Miel, who alleged that they together with E. Osborne. in July, 1898, in Los Angeles, entered into an agreement with E. G. Butts. or George Butts, and C. L. Colgan. whereby the latter were to be furnish ed with money and provisions to go into Lirco.n county, Nevada, and prospect for precious minerals.
 It was agreed that each of the five men in the compact should have one fifth share in whatever mines were located. Under this agreement. it is claimed that in September, 1898. five quartz mining claims were located in the Searchlight mining district, in Lincoln county, Nevada, and that the prospectors named two of the mines, the Coyote mining claim and the Blos- som mining claim.
 Hartley and Miel alleged that they had confidence in Butts, and relied upon his statements, and in July, 1901, the prospector wrote them that he had a chance to bond the mines for a small sum, and asked them to sell, as he was going to do so and get back to civilization.
 He saw them afterwards in person and induced them to give him a deed of their shares, Hartley selling for S+00, S100. cash and a note, and Miei for $50. On August 8. 1901, Butts died in San Francisco. and his estate was placed in administration, letters being issued to David E. Baker, with bonds of S30 900. It was then that plaintiffs learned facts, which caused them to believe that they had been imposed upon.
 It was alleged that Butts sold the claim to one Frank c. Perew on Au- gust 6, 1901, for s25, 900, $2.50O down. and the balance out of the workings of the mines. A deed was executed and ? aceG in escrow with the Citizens National bank of Los Angeles It was claimed in the complaint that Perew was cognizant of the interest held by Butts, and knew how he had obtained deeds from plaintiffs. The action was brought against Perew, Da vid E. Baker, administrator of Butts estate, and the Citizens Natioral bank. The court was asked to set aside the 'conveyances to Butts on the ground Of fraud and to declare the contract for deed held by Perew to be null and void.

Thought to Assume Charge.

Last Thursday afternoon three young
white fellows came down to Bamberg
from Langley for the purpose of having
a good time They had been in our city
only one short hour when they were TAX
en- in charge by chief of police Kirkland:
They were on factory hill, drunk and
raising a row. The whole street was
taken into their own keeping, no one was
allowed to pass the place where they had
stationed themselves. When policeman
Kirkland arrested them, all but one: a
little fellow of great age, submitted quiet
". Aid was called in for the little fel-
low, and all the Langley fellows were in
the house of the little door in few min
utes. Mayor johnson in his court gave
one twenty days and another ten. The
other was allowed to go. They took the
days and are now doing time on the coun-
ty chain gang.
