FORTUNE AT LAST SMILES
ON HIDDEN FORTUNE MINE
Dream of Years Part of Owners
Stands Good Chance of
Realization,

DEADWOOD, s. D., Jan. 3d. -(Special)
Has the i'll fate that for years relent-
lessly pursued the Hidden Fortune Gold
Mining company and those prominently
identified with it, finally turned?
Have the scales of tickle fortune so
long weighted down against the company
that once promised so much, now swung
in its favor?
The Hidden Fortune was organized
some ten years ago by Henry ]. Mayham
then of Denver, promoter, who was
meeting with great success in floating
Black Hills mining properties. The prop
erty was a good one, funds came easily
and stockholders tumbled over them
selves In their eagerness to get in on the
ground floor. Its officers included men
prominent in the financial world, Judge
Allison Of Sioux City, j. M. Nesmith
George M Mex, Herbert s. Shaw, all Of
Denver, James Noodle of Sioux City and
some Chicago men. Finely equipped
plants were constructed and then the
pendulum swung. Dis agreements arose
among the heavy stockholders and
at once the company was plunged
into expensive and seemingly in
terminable litigation. Some of the high
est legal luminaries in Denver and
Chicago hastened to the fight and numer-
GUS suits were commenced, while the
small stockholders patiently awaited the
outcome. First one set of officers won
a point and secured control of the prop
erty changing the management, only to
lose it in the next legal contest 10
another set. Charges and counter charges
of bitter nature were made and still the
small stockholders waited. Then tho
property was sold on execution, the Con-
tinental Trust company OF Denver, rep
resenting the bond holders, buying 1t in.
More legal contentious followed.
Then another factor entered the race for
supremacy. Death called, one by one, the
men who had engineered the fortunes of
the property James Noodle, who stood
with local stockholders, passed away first
Then followed Herbert s. Shaw. the sec
retary of the company. Next followed
George N. Nix, the one time manager and
the last was J. H. Nesmith of Denver,
the trustee for the bondholders. Even while
he died, the plans were making for the
new coup and just as the year closed, the
Columbus properties, a dream of years
standing, was effected Now It is an
nounced that Henry Frawley Of this city,
the new president, has secured the neces-
sary funds to operate and that work will
commence in the spring and fortune
again smiles on the Ill fated Hidden For

WyOminE Suit in Court.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Jan. 3O.-(special.)-
Judge Rice in the circuit court has Just
decided one of the most important civil
suits tried here in years by rendering a
verdict in favor OF the plaintiff in the
case of ]. C. Spencer Of Newcastle, Wyo.,
against William II. Lyman, ct al, OF Ke-
vance, ILL.,, involving $4,000. A peculiar
feature of the case was the fact that both
parties to the suit lived in another part OF
the country and the property sued on was
near Cambria, Wyo., but the suit was
tried here as the transaction took place in
Lawrence county.
Some two years ago Spencer sold to the
defendants some coal lands in the Cam
bria district, they contracting to pay $40,
O0O One fourth OF this amount was paid
down In cash when the defendants declined
to carry out the contract on the ground
that the titles conveyed were insufficient
To secure these titles Spencer has made
two trips to Bombay. India. and has spent
over $4,000 in money and some fifteer
months time, Judge Rice held the con,
tract valid and gave judgment against the
defendants for the remaining $4,000.

Cornhuskers
Defeat Drake
Second Time
Fourth Victory from Iowa Teams in
Succession for Nebraska Basket
Ball Five.

LINCOLN. Jan S0-(special Telegram)-
BY a score of q to the Cornhuskers'
basket ball five downed the quintet from
Drake college at the university Rrmory
last night and made their slate clean for
the first half Of the games IN the north
ern section Of the Missouri VRley league
Eight games are scheduled for each OF
the three teams In this division Of the
league for the sectional title, and the game
tonight was the second the local shooters
have won from Drake. Last week two
were annexed from Ames.
The visiting players proved easier prey
for the Cornhuskers than they we're last
night and Coach Hewitt used an entire
new team with the exception Of Captain
Perry, In the second half. Drake made
only two goals from field. one in each
half The contest was by far the toughest
exhibition Of basket ball that has ever
taken place on the local floor. Both teams
violated the rules, and there was a large
amount of holding. pulling and striking
with the fists. The visiting players were
the chief offenders and were penalzed
several times by the referee for their
rough tactics. Left Guard Berry of the
Des Moines five sustained an injury to
his nose in a clash with one of the Corn
huskers, and for a short time his con-
dition was such that It was thought ad-
visable to remove him from the game. He
insisted on playing and was allowed to re-
main in the lineup.
Exceedingly poor team play and mac
curate goal tossing kept Drake from put
ting up any formidable opposition to the
Cornhuskers. Captain Perry and his crew
played rings around their opponents all
through the game. The Nebraska leader
and Wood, the little colored guard, again
were the stars for the locals. Perry shot
four goals from the field. Wood made no
goals, but he carried the ball. by dribbling,
more than any other two men on the floor
Petrashek, at center, also played brilliant
ball and tossed three goals. Debutts fea-
tured more than any single player on the
visiting five He recorded six of the
points totaled by his side. Lineup:

SOLDIER RIVER CASE STILL
ON TRIAL BEFORE COURT
Cost of Construction, Feasibility and
Other Problems Enter Into
Consideration.

LOGAN, Ia, Jan. 0.-(5pecial.) THE big
Soldier river drainage case, which began
here Monday, and to the exclusion Of all
other cases has been running during the
week. is still on trial The objectors occu-
pied three and one-half days in the intro
duction of exhibits and testimony to prove
the Wattles drainage project as imprac-
tical and to establish more practical one
in lieu thereof. The promoters win occupy
two and one-half days in sustaining the
wattlcs project and in pointing out the
unattractlve features Of the Mayne drain
age project.
The wattles ditch is said to be Sc miles
IN length; the Mayne ditch, in opposition,
fifteen to sixteen miles in LENGTH the
former, according to estimates, to cost,
with laterals and other bitches, 100000; the
latter drainage system, SS6.OOO $4,000 to
500, ,0O0i depending upon the men who make
the estimates and extent OF system en-
braced. 1t is said that Dotf ditcnes begin
practically at the same point and run over
the same line distance of two miles.
thereby leaving the wattles ditch from
point OF separation four and one-half miles
to the Missouri river, and the Mayne thir-
teen or more TO the Missouri river. How
ever, the Mayne ditch is to run through
the Spooner ditch. previously constructed,
also through Linn lake and through sec
ton OF the Soldier river before reaching
the Missouri.
From an engineering point of view, the
chief objection urged against the Wattles
ditch is that in time Of high waters Of the
Missouri the ditch would be flooded by the
waters Of the Big Muddy. and thereby be
of no value In discharging the waters OF
the Soldier. for which the ditch is designed
The chief objection urged against the
Mayne ditch is that while affording nc
more effective drainage. the cost of con-
struction comparing the two systems
would make the Mayne system prohibitive

Census Men I,ockinr.

LEAD, s. D.. Jan. 30-(Special )-Con-
siderable difficulty is being experienced in
securing enough census enumerators to
conduct the census taking in Lawrence
county next April. Although there are
twenty-one TO be given work of this sort
in this county, there are not over fifteen
applicants for the work. This is largely
due to the unsettled labor conditions here
as so many are unable to tell what they
will be doing three months from now and
do not care to take chance on the short
government Job.

MITCHELL, S. D., Jan. 30.-(Special)-A
few weeks ago Arthur Bruhm, a German
10 years old, was taken into custody on
the charge of insanity. 1t developed, how
ever that he was just mentally unbalanced
and not very violent, but 1t was evident
that he would become a county charge. IL
was learned through the examination that
he was not a naturalized citizen of the
United States and 1t was thus impossible
for the county to have any jurisdiction
over him. State Attorney Herbert took up
correspondence with the Department Of
Commerce and Labor at Washington and
explained the situation. The department
ordered Richard Davis of Minneapolis, an
inspection immigration agent, to come to
this city and examine Bruhm. He finished
the examination today and announced that
Bruhm and his wife would have to be
deported to Germany. The wife came over
here in June and the husband followed in
the early fall but both were practically
without funds and they were incapacitated
for earning money. 1t was on this account
that the action was taken to send them
back to Germany. The children, who live
near here, were anxious to take care of
their parents, but they were not in a posi-
tion to assume the burden.
