that the legal votes cast in the pre-

LAW POINT INVOLVED
IN INJUNCTION SUIT.

Sheriff Cook returned last night
from Holmes, where he had been to
serve a court injunction upon some
Cripple Creek miners who are charg-
ed with jumping a mining claim be-
longing to the Rambler Mining and
Stranger claim. the southeastern-most
parties are said to have jumped the
Stranger claim the southeastern most
claim of the Rambler group, where they
have struck a vein richer than any
thing yet found in the district.
There is a complicated question in
the matter and n that the courts will
have to decide. 1t is GAINED that the
Rambler company failed last year to
do the proper amount of assessment
work on the claim and that when work
was done the year before no mineral
was found in place. making it all the
more difficult to dislodge the present
occupants of the claim. Mr.. Cook SER
we'd the injunction. which will be heard
in the district court here.
