LEAD MINES ARE
IN LITIGATION
II. G. DEMETRAKAPULOS Is EN-.
DEAyORING TO. SECURE TITLE
TO ALLEN-LACEY MINES IN
RED HILLS.

The attempt of D. G. Demetrakapu-
los to acquire legal title to the Allen
Lacey properties In the Red Hill
country had its elimination In law
suit, which was filed in the district
cedrt last Thursday against Henry
Allen, Lou Lacey and Thomas Cleary.
The claims involved in the contro-
versy are the Dandy group of 6 claims
and the Whisky Bottle. from which re-
lgular shipments to the Salt Lake
smeIters were made two years ago by
Edward Wilson and Ole johnson.
The complaint sets forth that Allen
lentered into an agreement with plain
tin for the purchase of one-half inter
est in the group mentioned above on
May 1. and that 3 days later he at
tempted to repudiate the obligation
thus imposed by deciding to Cleary
and Lacey with the intention of de-
lfrauding plaintiff of interest acquired
Iby agreement he had entered into with
Allen. This was accomplished, ac-
lcording to the complaint, through
Allen giving a quitclaim deed to the
other defendants
The litigation dates back to the
time when Allen borrowed $500 from
Lacey and Cleary. giving as security a
deed to a half interest in his mining
holdings. II was understood between
the parties interested that the legal
document. which had been placed in
escrow at the First National bank, and
was intended as security for the f.
nancial favor. could be drawn down
by the parties making the loan. II the
obligation was not met by May
1914 After securing possession oi
the deed, Lacey and Cleary did moi
delay its filing In the recorder of
fee
1t Is claimed by the plaintiffs that
he offerei to pay Lacy and Clear,
the amount that Allen owed them, and
that they had refused to accept the
proposal. claiming that they had taken
down the deed. and possessed full
title to the mining claims.
Demetrakapulos alleges that Lacey
and Cleary are In collusion with Allen
for the purpose OF defrauding him out
of bis rightful interest in the much de-
sired mineral zone
1t is the desire of plaintiff to have
the deed executed by Allen as security
for the loan declared a mortgage.
Plaintiff also seeks to have his con-
tract with Allen be made legal and
binding. and asks that the quit claim
deed executed by Allen be declared
worthless

TEAMS TO CLASH

baseball openings this afternoon on
the inaugural day of the 1914 sea-
sen. Copper Flat is to begin hos

will uphold the honor of the county

the first gun at McGill today with

adopted by the moguls of the dia-

WING WILL TRY
FOR NEW TRIAL
IRREGULARITIES IS ONE OF THE
REASONS ASSIGNED FOR SET
TING ASIDE VERDICT IN DAM
AGE SUIT.

Irregularity in proceedings and
abuse of discretion on the part of the
court in granting application of de-
fendant to have the jury inspect the
steam shovel pit at Copper Flat are
among the reasons assigned by plain
tiff in his notice of intention to move
for new trial in the case of George
Wing against the Nevada Consilidat-
ed. which was fled In the clerks Of.
fee yesterday.
The plaintiff sued for sis. 900
damages for injuries alleged to have
been sustained, while he was in the
employ of the defendant company at
Cappr Flat three years ago. and on
trial in the district court three weeks
ago before Jury, a verdict was re-
turned in favor of the Nevada Con-
solidated.
This is your show and / don't
care to take part was the reply In
substance of G. F. Boreman, one of
the attorneys for Wing. after defen-
dents counsel had called out and
said he desired to have the steam
shovel operated in accordance with
Boreman's instructions. Such In
formation is contained in Boreman's
affidavit
Boreman alleges that when an OPP
portunity was afforded to demon
strate to the members of the jury the
identical manner in which Wing was
injured a foreigner who had gone
between the rock and the dipper
when it was swinging back and forth
was warnd by some unknown person
in loud tone Look OUT Accord
in to the affidavit. the cry OF alarm
was needed, the alien stepping back to
where his fellow employees were and
remaining until the dipper ceased
swinging.
1t Is claimed by Boreman that the
operation of the shovel was placed in
the hands of two witnesses for the
defendant. Dahoney and Johnson.
He recites how the boom was allow
ed to drop suddenly and violently
against the front of the shovel
Boreman refers to a rock that was
placed in front of the shovel for
demonstration purposes. and tells
how four foreign employees attend
ed to placing of large chain about the
rock. The affdavit alleges that the
boom or crane was allowed to rest
at right of operating car at angle of
forty-five degrees.
According to Boreman's contention
| it was while the crane was swinging
in pendulum fashion after the four
foreigners had stepped back that one
of them wandered into the danger
zone, but quickly sought a haven OF
safety after he was warned of his
predicament from some unknown
source.
Foreman also maintains that the
evidence was insufficient to justify
the verdict, and that there were err
rors in law occurring at trial to
which plaintiff excepted.
