KEPT BY HEINzE
Minnie HeaIy Mine Case Decided
by Supreme Court OF
Montana.
WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Ruling Of Judge Harney, a Former
Resident Here, is Finally
Upheld.

Helena. Mont. April 21.-The su-
preme court of Montana has affirmed
the judgment of the district court Of
Silver Bow county in the case of Miles
Finlen against F. Augustus Heinze,
the Montana Ore Purchasing company,
and others. better known as the Minnie
Healy case, involving title to one of
the richest copper mines in Butte.
The decision favors HeinZe. who is
given title to the mine, valued a. mil
lions of dollars.
Finlen had leases and bonds upon
the property from John Devlin, Mrs.
Devlin. Mrs. Reilly and Mrs. Kelly in
1898. agreeing to pay 100000 for
those interests. In November, 1898.
Heinze claims to have had a verbal
agreement with Finlen to take over the
bonds and leases for $4,000, and un-
der 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 posses
sion was commenced by Finlen. The
case was tried before Judge Harney
without a jury and judgment was rem
dered for the defendants in December,
1898. Finlen having in the meantime
transferred his interest to the Boston
and Montana. now an Amalgamated
property.
Accuse Judge of Misconduct.
1t was at this time that charges of
misconduct on the part of Judge Har-
ney in the conduct of the trial were
made and many sensational develop
ments resulted, including Haney's
charge that Charles w. Clark. son of
the senator; A. J. Shores. attorney for
the Amalgamated, and others offered
him a bribe of $3.50. 900 to grant new
trial. An effort subsequently was made
To disbar Shores. but it failed
The Amalgamated, or Finlen. appeal
ed to the supreme court. and new
trial was granted on the ground that
Harney had not acted properly in the
conduct of the trial The case was
tried again before Judge Clancy i'm Aug
ust. 1908. and he decided for HeinZe.
The Amalgamated again appealed, the
argument being made before the SUI
preme court last November.
May Carry To Federal Court.
IL is stated that If a federal dues-
| tion can be found upon which to base
an appeal the Amalgamated interests
will appeal the case to the supreme
court of the United States.

Glenwood Springs, Col, April 21.-
That President Roosevelt is enjoying
royal sport in his hunt for Rocky
mountain grizzlies is attested by Sec
retary Loeb, who returned from the
camp late yesterday, after having spent
the night with the party. While the
only game pulled down thus far is a
bear shot by the president and a bob
cat by DR.. Lambert, there has been
plenty of recreation. Every day the
dogs have followed trails that looked
promising, showing that there are
more bears to be found in the vicinity
now being hunted.
