COMPANY MUST PAY.
Judgment Against Century Affirmed
by Supreme Court.

Justice Baskin Of the supreme court
yesterday handed down an opinion up
holding the decision Of the district
court which awarded Dr. John T.
White a judgment of $241O13 against
the Century Gold Mining & Milling
company The company borrowed the
money OF White between Oct. 1. 1897.
and July 81. 1895, agreeing to pay il
back out OF its first profits In Oc-
tOber, 1903. White demanded the re-
turn OF the money. but his request was
not complied with. although during
September and OCTOBER OF 1908 tvs
dividends Of $500 were paid The stock
holders OF the company. Oct. 90 1909.
another $500 dividend was declared.
Between April and October Of 1903 the
profits were greater than Whites
claim. No profile were made previous
to April Of 1868. and when the case
came UP in the lower court the COM
pany pleaded the statute of limita-
tons. as the money had been borrowed
FIVE years before.
The attorney for the debtor argued
that by the provisions of the law the
action was barred. The court allowed
that q reasonable time had elapsed
before the payment OF the first divi-
dend. in September of 1903. in which
reasonable time a suit should have
been brought. But the court holds the
statute of limitations could not begin
To run until a reasonable time after
the creation of the obligation had
elapsed
'.The burden OF proving that the ac-
ton was barred was upon the defen-
daut. and therefore. as i neither aD-

News to That Effect From San Fran

y message from san Francisco to
james A. Pollock &. Co. yesterday aft
eInoOn conveyed the Information that
the Montana TonOpah company's mines
at TOnOpah We're closed down Friday
evening. For what reason was not
known. but the presumption was given
that il was probably due to a break in
the machinery The company's stock
broke on the San Francisco board as a
result of the news to $i.G5.
Inquiry at the Offices of the Montana
Tonopah company in this city failed to
bring out a verificatioD of the shut
down. Judge w. II. Dickson, one of the
directors OF the company, stated that
no such word had reached the Offices
here. but he was sure that if anything
of Importance necessitating a close
down had occurred the news would
have been sent to this Office. He de-
clared the suspension of operations, if
there had been one, could be due to
nothing more than Indicated in the

A Warning to Southern Girls.

The most stupendous and auda-
clous scheme which the world ever
witnessed is being organized and OPP
Grated at this time to lure Young
girls from the towns of this and
ether States into the dens Of iniquity
IN ST. Louis. The matter has come
10 light through the abortive at
tempts of some Of the agents of the
syndicate engaged in this traffic of
lmquity. and the most determined
efforts TO stop the practice are being
set on foot by the people Of the city
OF ut. Louis, as well as those of other
cltiHs and towns where the syndicate
hopes to recruit its victims. The
plan Of the syndicate is to procure
Young women from the working
Glasses to come to ST. Louis under
promise Of employment during the
Worlds Fair season, and then to
meet them at the depot in st. Louis
and conduct them TO some brothel,
where their feet are set in the WAYS
OF ruin and theirli,es are hopelessly
wrecked before they can Be reached
Dy any possible assistance.

A QUARTER MILLION BLAZE
Destructive Fire Among the Port
land (0re.) Lumber Mills.
Three Concerns at the Extreme
Southern End of the city Burned
Out-Watchman Scorched.

Portland, Ore, May 14-An eXplo-
sion of saw dust in the furnace of Tho
Day Lumber Co.'S mill started fire
Just before midnight which destroyed
that mill, and also these of the Multno-
NAH trunk and box factory and the
Ira +. Powers Manufacturing Co. Tie
loss will probably exceed $2500 900. The
three mills are located in cluster on
the river front at he extreme south
ern end of the city.
The night watchman is the only per-
son about the mill at the time, and lie
was so scorched by the flames which
attended the explosion that 1t was only
with difficulty that he was able 10
turn in a fire alarm. Owing to this
delay and the distance from the near
est fire apparatus, the Day mill was
almost destroyed before the depart
ment arrived on the scene.
From the Day mill the flames
jumped to the Powers mill and the
trunk factory, and despite the efforts
of the fremen these structures were
rapidly enveoped in flames.
Although the fire department fought
with desperation, the highly inhamma-
BILE character of the buildings and con-
tents rendered their efforts futile, and
all three buildings were burned to the
ground All of the mills carried some
insurance, but at this hour 1t is impos-
sible to state the amount.

ON CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY
san Francisco Men Accused of IL
legally Acquiring Title to
Public LDnds.

San Francisco, May i4.--F. A. Hydt
and Henry p Dimond must answer In
the United States court at Washington
to charges of conspiring TO defraud
the United States government by illc-
gally acquiring title TO public lands.
This decision was rendered Friday by
United States Commissioner Heacock.
The attorneys FOR the government
asked that the bail of the two de-
PENDANTS be doubled-that Of Hyde TO
be made 100000, and that of Diamond
$40. 900. The attorney stated that ne
made the suggestion, for the reason
that the offense with which the men
were charged was not one on which
they could be extradited. should they
decide 10 leave the country and not
appear for their trials. The court an
nounced that the baii of Hyde would
ne fixed at $4,000, and that Of Dia-
mond at S25, 900.
