BEALE'S CHANGE OF BEING
CHOSEN SENATOR BETTER

BOISE, Jan. 23.-The thirtieth bal
lot was taken today in the Joint as
sembly of the Idaho legislature in
trying to elect United States senator
for the short term. There was no
choice. although three ballots were
taken today. In fact the highest man,
former Governor Bray. losing eight of
the votes he had in Tuesdays vot-
ing. these yoing to Governor Morrison,
is further from election than he has
seemed to be for several days.
The surprise of the day was the
announcement of Judge Aishics with
drawal from the race. Matters are
further complicated by his action, for
1t Is almost certain that none Of the
Ailshie legislators will vote for Brady.
They have announced their determine
alton repeatedly, and Brady's leaders
admit that they do not expect to get
even one of the votes that have been
going to Ailshie.
Senator Hanson of Shoshone whose
vote has been recorded in favor of
Ailshie from day to day yesterday
voted for Beale. The latter has come
back into the race and is getting suf-
ficient votes every day to lend en-
couragement to the belief of many
that day or two more will see the
break In the Brady ranks that Is hop
ed for and that the legislators will
consider the rights of the north to

c. A. HILL PER|SHES
IN DEEP SNOW GOING
TO RAILROAD STATION
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF
MARBLE CREEK, FORMERLY
LIVED IN WALLACE.
Hand Sticking Above the Snow Leads
to Finding Of the Body, Where In
dications Arc That It Had Lain for
Several Days.

Word was brought to the city Tues
day of the finding of the body OF
Charles A. Hill, formerly resident OF
Wallace. where he conducted cigar
factory for number of years. and
later of Marble Creek, where he own
ed valuable claim. His remains were
found in the snow at a point about
halfway between the ranch and Po-
como, station on the Cricago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railway Had
It not been for the fact that one hand
was exposed above the snow, the body
would probably have remained in the
place where it was found until the
snow melted in the spring, even if he
had been missed and search instituted
for him. Deputy Sheriff Collins, To-
Gated at Herrick, was instructed to
bring the remains to Wallace and is
expected to arrive today Friends of
the deceased will take charge of the
funeral arrangements. which have not
yet been decided upon, but it is pre-
sumed burial will be had in the Odd
Fellows cemetery.
Mr.. Hill had many friends in Wal
lace. but no relatives so far as known.
His cigar factory was located on Sixth
street, where barber shop now oc-
cupies. Several years ago he took
claim on Marble creek. about Is miles
from where the station of Pocono is
located 1t is the presumption that he
attempted to walk in from his ranch,
probably intending to come to Wal
lace. and that he became exhausted
from wading in the deep snow He
was a small man, physically, and is
said to have been In poor health for
some time past.

Anything to Beat Brady.

Wednesday nipht the anti Brady
legislators went into caucus, deter
mined to cement enough together to
defeat Brady. They have about IS
in the caucus and are baloting on a
United States senator, with Brady
and Ailshie both eliminated.
The anti-Brady caucus adjourned
with an agreement to deadlock the
election by voting for only the four
who stood high in the caucus.
The caucus eliminated the names Of
Ailshie and Brady and took several
ballots on senator. The final ballot
was: Babb 10, John w. Hart I, Gov
ernor Haines G and f. II. Dewey T.
Some of the southern men objected
to the preponderance of northern
votes and it was decided to call an
other republican caucus tomorrow
night and ask all republican legislators
to come in who would agree to the
elimination of Aishic and Brady

|ONTAR|0 COMPANY WINS DECISION
IN ITS BATTLE WITH THE STEWART
judge Woods Holds That No Part of
Ontario Apex Is in the Stewards
Cround---Defendants' Con-
tentions Upheld.

within the Senator Stewart Frac-
tion lode mining claim there is vein
or lode of mineral bearing rock In
places which on its onward course
crosses the south side line of said Sen
ator Stewart Fraction lode mining
claim and has a course about north
30 degrees east and the said vein on
| its onward course does not reach any
other line of said claim.
"That the said vein is cut off in it's
| onward course by large fault near
the north line of said claim, called the
Osburn fault in this case. That the
said vein on its downward course
passes underneath the east line of said
claim which is described in the patent
as the end line of said claim.
THAT the fault which cuts off the
vein on it's northerly end line has a
north westerly and southwesterly
course and dips southwesterly. That
the end of the vein against the fault
has a course of north Al degrees west
That the end of the vein against the
fault has a steeply inclined downward
course southeasterly."
Holds Veins Are the Same.
The court holds that the veins in the
two properties are the same He ex-
presses this view as follows; That
the said vein is continuous on it's on
ward course from the line Of contact

called the Osburn fault southerly to
the ore bodies within the Ontario lode
mining claim and has been followed
upon the level of the drifts by the min
ers from the said edge of the vein tc

claim.
The conclusions of the court are as
follows;
THAT no part of the apex of the ore
bodies in the Ontario mining claim lies
within the Senator Stewart Fraction
mining claim.
THAT the Ontario Mining company
is entitled to the possession of said
ore bodies within the ontario claim by
virtue of its leases aforesaid That
the said Ontario Mining company has
rightfully mined and extracted ore
from the said ore bodies.
