HOLMAN RULED
OUT OF COURT
Court sustsins Motion to Strike the
Amended Complaint In Intricate
Mining Case.
TWO MINING COMPANIES mlxel
Suit Brought Against the Wrong
IParty-pisputed Claims in the
Judith Mountains.

Judge Lheadle last Friday sustain.
ed the motion of the defendants In
the case of Holman VS.. the Central
Montana Mines Co. to strike the
amended complaint OF the plaintiff.
The case is rather an important one
with many legal complications and
for the present the Mines Co. appears
to have the best Of II.
The Central Montana Mines Co.,
which was first organized under the
laws Of West Virginia, but about a
year ago organized under the laws
OF Arizona territory. filed in the land
Office. applications for patents for
some claims In the Judith mountains,
the claims In question being those
comprised in what is known as the
Whisky Gulch group. Alfred Holman
filed an adverse claim in the land
Office and, within thirty days, a com.
plant in the district court, alleging
that he had a prior right to a part
of the ground for which patents were
applied. He claimed the ground I'm.
der the name of the Banner claim,
which, according to a drawing filed
with his complaint, takes in parts of
the Cliff, Hillside, Moshner and Ex-
ira claims of the Mines Co.
The complaint was filed February
18th, and on March 4th the defend
N filed a motion to quash ...e plain
tif's summons and set aside the SER
vice thereof for the reason that the
service was not made upon the duly
appointed agent of the Mines Co.
The service was made upon r. Won
Tobel, who was the agent of the com
pany organized under the West Vir-
ginia laws, but who was not the az
ent of the Arizona company, the one
against whom the suit was intended
to have been filed. When the second
company was formed Blackford G.
Blackford were made their agents.
On March 23rd the plaintiff filed an
amended complaint substituting
ARIZONA" for West Virginia"
The defendants then filed a motion
on March 23rd to strike the amended
complaint. First, because II was filed
without leave of court: second, be-
cause there was a substitution of de.
PENDANTS; third. because the thirty
days period within which the action
could have been brought against de-
PENDANT expired March End, or 81
days before the amended complaint
was filed. -,
De Kalb & Ayers and Huntoon,
Worden & Smith for the plaintiff and
von Tobel and Blackford & Blackford
for the defendants. argued the motion
to strike on Tuesday and the court
took the matter under advisement
until Friday. when he rendered a de-
cision sustaining the motion of the
defendants. Notice OF appeal has
been filed and the ease will probably
be taken up.
