MINING SUIT FILED.

\ suit of considerable magnitude
has been begun in the United States
court at Miami. The plaintiff is the
Baxter Mining Company and the
defendants are John Crawford of
Terre Haute, Ind, and Willis Wright
of Indianapolis, Ind. The plaintiff
in his petition alleges the purchase
in good faith from the defendants
of a two-thirds interest in HOO acres
of mining leases in the new mining
district. J. c. Haskett of this city
owns the other one-third interest in
the leases, and retains the same. +.
p. Mccarthy. president of the Bax.
ter Mining Company, went with Mr.
Haekett to Terre Haute, Ind, and
arranged with the defendants to
buy from them the two-thirds inter-
est mentioned. He alleges that the
price was agreed upon, and he sup
posed everything was satisfactory.
Mr.. Mccarthy and Mr.. Haskett re-
turned home and the papers were
prepared for the transfer and sent
TO Terre Haute for the signatures
of Crawford and Wright. But
change came over the spirit of the
dreams of the Hoosiers, and they
refused to sign, hence the suit.
The plaintiff asks the court to
compel Crawford and Wright to
carry out their part of the contract,
and if they do not sign the transfer
within ten days. to issue a decree
vesting the title of the two-thirds
interest aforesaid in the Baxter
Mining Co.

A Galena temperance man bitten by a
copperhead was saved by drinking a
pint of meat fryings. It's all right to

A case of a Concordia man charged

allowed the hen to set as it would have
avoided costs and much cackling from
the lawyers.
