TOO LARGE CLAIMS

Fraud Presumed When boundaries

Where miner In making a loca-

IL void only as to the excess, ac-
cording to an opinion by the supreme
court In Shoshone county case, but
where such excess is shown to have
been purposely included within the
claim the location as a whole be-
comes void.
The appeal was In the case of VIII

Ing company, appellant, instituted by

tablishing title to the Senator" min
Ing claim in the Hunter district, Sho-
shone county, alleged to be in con-
fiict with the Lewis q Clark claims.
The latter were the first to be locat-
cd. but 1t Is alleged the locations
were invalid because they included
too much territory. The lower
court found for the plaintiffs.
The supreme court in reversing
judgment upon appeal states: Where
an excessive mineral location has
been made through mistake, while
the locator was acting In good faith,
the location will be void only as to
the excess; but where the locator
has purposely included within his
exterior boundaries an excessive
area with fraudulent intent Of hold
ing the entire area under one loca-
ton, such location is void: or II made
so large that the location cannot be
deemed the result OF innocent error
or mistake, fraud may be presumed.
Where the exterior boundaries of
mineral location include such an un-
reasonably excessive area that such
boundary lines cannot be said to Inn
part notice to a prospector OF a min
eral location within the reasonable
distance OF lawful claim as located
under the statute. such location will
be held void on the ground that the
boundaries Of the claim have never
been marked and established as re-
Quired by law"
In conclusion the court states It is
perfectly clear that the Senator" To-
cation was fraudulent.

generally believed In throughout Tur-
Key that the red rose sprang from a
drop OF the great prophet Moham-

In nature Is ascribed in him. The
Turks, therefore. have great rever-
ence for the flower and allow It to
bloom and die untouched, except ON
state occasions and for the purpose
Of making rosewater.
After the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church

WHAT MAKES THE DIvIsIoNg

W0AA MAAAM5 AAAG OANA1A0SFt
There Is much food for thought
in an editorial comment which app
peared in the Spokesman-Revlew on
the death OF Charles the First, the
intelligent ehimpanzee who recently
appeared In Spokane at one Of the
popular theaters as an attraction. In
mentioning his death the Spokesman
Review says that there Is mourning
In the east, there are tears beside
the sea, for the smart young monkey
cousin that we no more shall see.
For Charley was dandy. monk
of high degree. and the way he earn
ed the money was q shame to you
and me.
The humanness OF the beast was
remarkable. His pictures failed to
do justice to his intelligence OF ex-
preston and the gentleness OF his
ways. Personal acquaintance with
him removed the impression that
he was repellant In appearance. 1t
made the spectator less unwilling to
acknowledge distant cousinship be-
tween the ancestors Of the chimpan-
zee and those OF man.
Quite human, too, was the liking
OF Charles the First for Lady
Nicotine. the friend OF literary men,
for he smoked the seductive cigarette.
He was a small boy in his skill as 81
mimic and as rider of the bicycle.
Human. however. he was not in dis
liking an overheated room, for when
Ills cage was placed against the steam
radiator he promptly stifed.
I'm this he showed his superiority
to human beings. Though some men
appear to be apes this monkey had
almost human intelligence. He caus-
es one to ask; What makes the di-
viding line between mans reason and
the brute's intellect"

DAMAGES GIVEN CUT
DOWN By THE COURT
Martin Walsh Allowed $4,000 FOL
Accident An . Tunnel.

Martin Walsh Allowed $4,000 for
Accident I'm Tunnel.
The supreme court Of the state for
the second time has handed down q
ruling in which 1t is held that in an
action for damages for personal in
jury the extent Of the recovery must
be determined by the earning powers
Of the plaintiff. The ruling was In
the case of Martin Walsh va. Winston
Brothers company. Walsh was
awarded the sum OF $4,000 by the
Shoshone county district court for in
juries received while employed in
the construction of a tunnel through
the Bitter Root mountains between
the states OF Idaho and Montana.
Counsel for the respondent lie given
the alternative, by the supreme court,
Of accepting $4,000 In settlement or
going to trial with the case for
second time upon remititur to the
lower court.
The case Is almost identical to
that Of Maloney VS.. Winston Broth
ers company, decided two weeks ago,
In which the court upon appeal took
similar position, reducing verdict
in the sum Of $4,000 to $4,000.
THE amount of the judgment in.
this case is urged as excessive" the
court states. The evidence shows
that the plaintiff was man OF AZ
years of age! that his. average earn
ing capacity was 1915 per day, and
under the rule announced In the Ma
loney case we are satisfied that the
Judgment is excessive. The Judgment
In this case will be affirmed to the
extent OF $4,000, on condition that
the respondent file within 80 days af-
ter going down Of the remititur, a
waiver of the excess Of $4,000, and
an acceptance of the judgment in the
sum of $4,000 as modified. Upon
failure to accept the Judgment as
thus modified, the Judgment will be
reversed in toto and a new trial
granted"
One Of the grounds urged by the
appellant company for a new trial
was that during the course Of the trial
one of the jurors became intoxicated.
In referring to this issue the court
states: 1T is not error for the trial
court to deny motion for a new
trial on account OF the intoxication
or juror, where 1t clearly appears
that such intoxication is brought on
by the Indulgence of the Juror during
a recess of the court and when the
jury is permitted to separate, and no
motion Is made at the time. that the
panel be discharged and new jury
selected, or that the particular juror
be discharged and another juror Sc
ieeted in his stead, or any objection
made to resuming the trial on ac-
count of the intoxication OF such ju-
ror; and 1t further clearly appears
as fact that the trial was not re-
sumed until the juror fully recover
ed his normal condition and facul-
ties, although such conduct of the
Jurors calls for severe censure and
punishment from the trial court"
