borner set aside,
THE complaint alleges that the par.
vlded one-half interest in lands in
Montana. which were supposed to con-
tain deposits Of gold ore, from John
J. Billiard in December, 1903. They
organized the Queen company with a
capital of 100000. and sold the land
OF the company for 100000 worth Of
stock. Billiard receiving $15O,OOO
worth and the others $4,000 worth
each. In order to develop the mine
it was necessary to sell some of the
stock, and the complainant alleges
that in November, 1904, he and Weld
enborner made an agreement with
George Foley under which Foley was
to sell $4,000 face value of the stock
at not less than Is cents a share.
and upon his selling this amount in
three months he was to receive S1O.-
900 worth of the stock.
1T is alleged that the defendant
induced Foley to state to Lehman
that he was unable to sell the stock
and that he would have to give up
the option. Through this means the
plaintiff alleges that he was induced
to sell his stock to Weidenborner for
$4,000, of which amount $50 was paid
In cash and the balance in two nrOn1-
issOry notes."
Mr.. Southworth and wife. of Del
phin. were in town Thursday. Mr..
Southworth is the owner of copper
mine on Spring creek, where he has
been working for the past five years,
while many others who made locations
in that district got discouraged and
threw them up. Mr. Southworth has
stayed with the proposition because
he had great faith in the camp. Re-
Gently he struck a fine body of ore
from which he is taking out several
car loads for shipment. The vein en-
countered is about three feet wide
and is of high grade at least 40 per
cent copper. He is entitled to great
credit for developing this property.
It will evidently result in the estab.
lfshment of good mining camp that
might have lain dormant for years
only for his enterprise and determi-
nation.-Meagher County Republican.

son visited Kendall this week and in
