Heinze. the Montana Ore Purchasing
Company and others, better known as
the Minnie Healy case involving title
to one of the rich copper mines in
Butte. Finlen had leases and bonds
upon the property from John Devlin.
Mrs. Devlin Mrs. Reilly and Mrs. Kei-
ly in 1898, agreeing to pay 100000 for
those interests. Heinze claims to have
made a verbal agreement with Finlen
in November, 1898. to take over the
bonds and leases for $4,000 and under
the terms of that agreement began
working the property. This Finlen dis
puted and in February of the follow
ing year the present suit for possess
sion was commenced by Finlen.
The case was tried before Judge
Harvey without a jury and Judgment
was rendered for the defendants in
December, 1898, Finlen having in the
meantime transferred his interest to
the Boston and Montana, now an
Amalgamated property.
The Amalgamated, or Finlen. ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, and a.
new trial was granted, on the ground
that Harvey had not acted properly
in the conduct of the trial. The case
was tried again before Judge Clancy in
August. 1903, and he decided for Heinze.
The Amalgamated again appealed, the
prene Court last, November.
To-day's decision, which was writ
ten by Associate Justice Holloway.
aff1rms the judgment of Judge Clancy,
holding in effect that there was a
verbal contract between Finlen and
Heinze by which Heinze should take
over Finlens bonds and leases in the
mines. Under an act passed by the
special session Of the Legislature, the
Supreme Court was permitted to review
the evidence in the case although 1t
was an equity proceeding.
Chief Justice Brantley dissented from
the proposition and in a long opinion
questions the right of the Supreme
Court to go into the evidence in an
equity case unless a preponderance Of
evidence favors such action.
The effect of the decision is to give
Heinze title to the mine, the value OF
which is estimated in the millions.
!. 1t is said that If Federal question
can be found upon which to base an
appeal. the Amalgamated interests will
appeal the case to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

NEW YORK, April 2o.-Thomas
w. Lawson to-day took advantage of
the psychological moment in the his
tory of Wall street for bear raid and
carried off profits amounting to
$1,000,000, according to statements of
brokers who claim to know of his
transaction.
Seldom if ever in the history of the
street have conditions been more pro-
pitious than to-day. The signing Of
the stock tax bill by Governor Hig-
gins, the near approach of decisive
battle in the Far East, the possibility
Of trouble over neutrality between
Japan and France. the heavy selling
by life insurance interests, the already
marvelously high prices of stocks-all
these things contributed to the op-
portunfty, which Lawson was shrewd
enough to turn to his advantage.

died March 10, 1896. He was the last sur
viving child of family of seven children
Mr.. Chaffee, after attaining manhood
| followed the occupation Of a carpenter
| until the latter years of his life. Although
in his youth he had only the advantages
OF common school education, he was
able by means of reading, especially in
his latter years, to gain quite an amount
OF useful knowledge.
He had held, during his lifetime, all the
principal town offices and represented the
town Of Rochester in the general assembly
of 1888. AT the time OF his deeease, he
was justice of the peace, and had held
the office continuously for over forty
years. In the discharge of the duties OF
this Office he gained considerable knowl-
edge Of the law, much more than would
be expected of the average Justice
In his latter years he seemed to grow
more liberal in his views and was a con-
sistent supporter Of all public improve
ments.
In the performance of all his public
duties he never allowed his strong person
al prejudices and feelings to interfere, but
was always guided by his oath of Office
and never swerved hairs breadth from
the path of duty, as he saw it marked out.
1t is useless to add that the place of such
a man would be hard to fiji in any conn
munity. His conscientious course and
upright dealing IN life have earned for
him an untarnished reputation in the COM
munity in which he was known.

wherever / m8y be, through whatever
worlds ! may be led, know that / shall
forever remain in the hands of the Father
who brought me hither and calls me
| further on.n
The intense faith OF human nature, a
faith too strong for words, tells that we
are but strangers and sojourners here up
on the earth, and that when the appoint
ed time has come that we shall be called
TO that larger and that freer existence for
which every voice Of the universe tells us
we are destined. Unconsciously, we all
look forward to that time when the call
shall come and we may enter into the
state OF existence belonging to the chill
dren Of God. To those who are left the
pang comes, the grief is sore, and vet
when the clouds clear away and the mist
Is raised, there are few who do not come
TO bow before the Fathers will. In the
ease OF the young and strong, those who
seem TO have everything to look forward to
and nothing to dread, death comes with
an additional shock to the onlooker, but
IN the calmer mood the thought which
heads this column comes with a renewed
force. The Father has need of and the
Father has called the loved one to him.
self, but he has not taken her away from
her dear ones, for
God hath taught us how to love and He doth
choose
our loved for us, and so we never lose"
These are the thoughts that come to us
as we think Of the death of Ethelyn Heath
Bartlett at Maiden on Wednesday, Jan. II.
Mrs. Bartlett was but three weeks a bride
ana the heart Of the community which
but short time before had reioIced with
her IN her JOY now with equal Intensity of
feeling goes out to the young husband and
to the father and the mother in their loss.
Though human beings have no power of
expressing their deepest thoughts and
their sweetest sympathy, yet those who
mourn must feel the wave OF human love
that goes out to them from every heart in
this their trouble.
Funeral services were held in Bethel at
the home Of Mrs. Bartletts father on sat
