kimball, Which occupied the attention
OF the district court last week, WAS con-
cluded on Saturday when Judge De

pears that Maher leased the Springdale
mine in Russell from the company and
in the lease it was stipulated that he was

also agreed to sink the shaft 100 feet or
forfeit their lease. The defendants sank
the shaft q feet and then finding II too
costly, threw up their lease. Maher
then tried to hold them to sink the re.
naming 70 feet, but they would not do
it. He then sank the shaft the required
distance and then began suit to recover
the amount lie had spent in sinking,
claiming that the leasers were bound by
the contract to do this. The plaintiff
had presented his case Friday afternoon
and then the defendants asked for non.
suit, which was argued until Saturday,
when Judge De France gave the above
decision. The plaintiff was represented
by Thomas j. O'Donnell and Frank G.

" Waiting in Gears
" for the maiI
BY ENRY TREZIsE

I've been hoping, waiting. hoping long
For something which of hope is born.
No common wish above the clouds.
No common wish from down the grounds;
'Tis no wish, It's anchor hope
Grounded on that we can expect.
The mail has passed and no letter yet.
Something is wrong-I dread-I fear
I've waited now almost year.
Longing for mail from my dear sons
Seeking their fortune in other lands.
Weeks have seen me wet with tears.
oh. God, One word that they are well
VIII bring me health and joy again.
Daughters since have fed the cage
Married and crossed the raging wave;
Away from home-their home and me.
Oh, God, what a world of tears this be.
We haven't to hear or see one die
To feel the grief and hear the sigh;
There are parting tears night and day.
How different now from the ages past,
They never parted but through death.
Those happy days of family bliss
Were never pain from crossing seas
Disturbed their peace or stole one kiss;
In that little acre, they all were there
But now they're scattered everywhere.
Another night "A slespless night.
Weeping and praying for the hour
When the mail agai in shall reach the door.
The mail has come. It's a letter from far,
With trembling joy it's read all over.
And never until We hear "All well'
Do we break the sigh and breathe again.
