Colorado Springs.-"I'll stay in Jail

what Is due me first." declares Miss
Exine Il, Fuller. young. handsome and
determined. now confined in Jail for
contempt of court for refusal to give
up the books of mining company of
which she has been secretary.
She was brought into court because
she refused to surrender the books of

possession. Miss Fuller IL bookkeeper

books for the mining company during
her spare time. Edward Jones. secre-
tary OF the company. alleges that he
demanded the books but when he en-
deavored TO get them he found them
missing.
Miss Fuller claims about 500 salary
for work done on the books. when the
mining company dcmurred to immedi
ate payment of this sum. Miss Fuller
is alleged to have informed the officers
that MS long as payment was deferred
Just so long would they seek In vain
for the books She admits that their
whereabouts is known TO her and TO
her. only.
The matter got into the courts when
Jones had issued from Justice Ruby
writ Of rcplevin demanding the books
from Miss Fuller. When the writ was
served on Miss Fuller at the Hayman
market by Constable w. +. Orrabec.
she read the document. looked Mt the
constable and decided that II would
take more than the strong arm OF the

Accordingly a Warrant for her arrest
was issued and she was brought into

All there was to II was that she
Waited the salary, and until the salary
was paid the books would not be

orubstake Gets a Blow.

San Francisco. Cal.-The United
States Circuit Court has rendered a
decision that is of vital Importance TO
all mining communities, and which
will have a direct bearing in cases
pending in many states.
The court holds that "grubstake"
agreement. that time-honored institu-
ton sacred to all mining men, is not
legally collectible.
The decision is made in a case
wherein saltwater Bill Gates was
sued by Isaac L. Marks of this city
TO recover $4,000 on an agreement
made by Marks and Gates in Seattle
on April 27, 1902.
The agreement was that in consider
alton of 81 900 paid by Marks to Gates
the latter was to transfer twenty per
cent of all the property which should
be acquired either by location, pur-
chase or otherwise in Alaska by
Gates.
The evidence showed that Gates
owed Marks 81. FPS. which was wiped
out by Marks. and Gates was given
the sum of $1,000 in cash when the
agreement was made.
Gates went to Alaska and acquired
property valued at $4,000. out of
which Marks demanded $3.50. 900 as
LIE ELc4t dkTtt1ltul-
A demurrer was entered on the
ground that the contract was so un-

was sustained and the case dismissed.

Wnshington.-The decision Of a

Although there has been very little
doubt as to the action the Missouri SUI

the Texas decision will prompt quicker

The oil trust is treading a perfect
