Court Gives Decision

Judge Ashbaugh in the district court
at Georetown last Saturday gave his
decree in the case of F. A. Maxwell, w
c. Hood, E NJ. Sabin, W. A, Lamb,
John Larson, c. A. Larson, and Jonn A.
Larson. plaintiffs versus the Inde pendent
Mining company, J.. w. Martin, F.. l..
Regenntter and the Griffith Mountain
Mining and Milling company, defendants.
The decree finds that the Independent
Mining company agreed to purchase
certain mining claims from Maxwell and
Hood for $40 900, and that S23 900 was
paid, leaving $4,000 unpaid; that
stockholders meeting was held at which
resolutions were passed, and that at
subsequent meeting of the directors the
property was sold to +. l.. Regennitter,
trustee, who afterwards conveyed the
same to the Griffith Mountain Mining
and Milling company, a corporation or
gained by the principal stock bolders of
the Independent Mining company; that
l.. l.. Regennitter, the nominal purchas@
er, was merely acting as a conduct for
the passing of the title, and that the
consideration included certain alleged
Indebtedness against the Independent
Mining company, but no actual fraud is
found in any of the transactions.
The Griffith Mountain Mining and
Milling company paid to said Maxwell
and Hood the balance Of the purchase
price, but under evidence a portion OF
the consideration is indeterminable; that
by reason Of the relations OF the parties
to said sale, the sale was voidable at the
instance of the plaintiffs; and it is or
dered and decreed by the court that the
Griffith Mountain Mining and Milling
company do within ten days deliver
possession Of the property to the Inde-
pendent Mining company, and that the
latter company shall within nine months
from the date Of the decree pay into the
court t72,ooo to be paid to the Griffith
Mountain Mining and Milling company;
that in the event that said sum is not
paid within nine months the Griffith
Mountain Mining and Milling company
is to be again put into possession of the
said property, and the plaintiffs herein
recover from the defendant their costs.

Horse Fancier In Jail

Joseph F. Robbins, waiter in a loca
restaurant, loaded up on bug juice yes
terday and at $50 last evening conceived
the notion that he had to get to Denver
or somewhere. A horse and buggy be-
longing to John Ahlberg was standing
in front of Hallberg Il Anderson's etore,
while the owner was purchasing some
supplies inside. Robbins wabbiy eyes
looked over the rig and it looked good
to him. He therefore made an appropri-
alton of the outfit and drove off. Mr..
Ahlberg came out with an arm full of
goods, but he was short one horse and
buggy and puzzled thereat Some by
ISLANDERS told him that his conveyance
had gone down the line in charge of
man with jag, and Mr.. Ahlberg went
straightaway to the authorities. The
minions of the law telephoned to adoin-
towns and then took the trail, coming
upon the abscondiug Robbins near
Slaughter house gulch. The trail made
by the fugitive on the ball grounds in
dlcated that the man was not very good
at maueuvers, and in an attempt to turn
around he was thrown out of the vehicle.
The officers took the culprit to the city
bastile last night, and this morning at
preliminary hearing before Justice of the
Peace Wilkins, the man was bound over
to the next term of the district court, his
bonds being placed at $500, in default of
which he will be taken to the county
Jail tonight by Sheriff Cunningham.
