VENUE CHANGE
NOT GRANTED.
MOTION OF DEFENDANT IN DAM
AGE SUIT OF LEAKE VS.. Was
SIS no HAVE ACTION TRIED IN
ANOTHER COURT DENIED.

Defendants application for
change of venue in the case of E. C.
Leake of McGill against George
vlassis to collect $4,000 damages
for defamation of character was de-
MED in the district court yesterday
by Judge Coleman. An exception to
the ruling was taken by the defend
and
In handing down his decision the
court disregarded the contention of
the defendants that it would be i'm
possible for him to obtain an i'm
partial trial at the hands of jury,
where one of the parties to the
action is an American and the other
a Greek by nationality.
The assertion of vlassis, that the
strong sentiment which exists against
his coutrymen would be detrimental
to his interests in a suit where the
majority of the jurors would be
citizens. of this country was given
but little consideration.
The affidavits of w. N. McGill, J.
w. Biggane, J S. Bennett and A. L.
Parker we're offered by the state in
proving that no personal feeling ex<
listed against Vlassis in this neighbor-
hood, and that the testimony of
Greeks would be valued as highly as
that of native bora American IL 1t
bore the impression II truth.
Attorney Anthony Jurfch represent
ing the losing party filed de-
mand in the clerks Office yesterday
after the desision was handed down
asking that the case be not set for
trial until sixty days had elapsed.
1t is possible that the defendant
might appeal the case to the supreme
court, or is attempting to evade the
trial of the issues at the forthcoming
session of the district court.
Leake alleges in his complaint
that the defendant has exposed him
to contempt and ridicule through the
circulation of false statements that
he has been levying tribute on the
men that have been employed on the
trestle at MeGill..

|. A. Bechdolt returned Sunday
from Hamilton where he has been
hauling ore from the holdings of the
Hamilton Power Mining and Transt
portation company to Eureka. One
team is still engaged in handling the
output from that property.
All the other freighters gave up

points along the road to the rail-
road. In spite of the difficulties
that have been encountered five car
loads of ore have been delivered in
Eureka during the last six weeks.
l.. III. Farnsworth drifted back to

cause of athletics in the Ely district,
and they were kept in merry frame
of mind from beginning to end.

quality of music above criticism.

of an orchestra ushered in the sue
cessful affair. There were at least
150 couples in attendance. When

cores were completed it was long
past midnight. In addition to the
regular Saturday night sepcial to the
mines. an extra train was put into
service to convey the terpischorean

vantage of the earlier train. Moving
pictures afforded pastime to everyone

Although the chief aim of the boys
was to show their hospitality, suf-
fieient funds were realized from the
dance to assist in ushering in a new
season of successful baseball around
the mines.
Prizes were awarded as follows:

men, in costume of a chinaman.

Suit Will Be
Resubnnitted
CASE OF LUNDGREEN AGAINST
WILCOX TO BE CONSIDERED
BY JUDGE COLEMAN AFTER AC-
TION is COMPROMISED

Through plaintiffs failure to
comply with certain provisions of a
stipulation dismissing an action in
the district court to which he was a
party. Judge Coleman ordered that
the suit of J. A. Lundgreen against
W. J. Wilcox, involving title to the
waters of Willard creek, be reinstat-
ed on the register of actions, and
that the case be resubmitted to the
court for its judgment on the evi-
dence heretofore submitted. This
action through their respective at
torneys.
At the trial of the case several
weeks ago, 1t was proven that Will
cox has purchased the waters of
Willard creek from plaintiff for a
certain amount. Wilcox rendered
installments to Lundgreen at irregu-
lar intervals, and at the time the
suit was filed, there was still money
due Lundgreen on the agreement.
In his complaint Lundgreen assert
ed that Wilcox had forfeited his
right to the water through his fail
ure to make the request payments
as they became due.
When the taking of testimony had
been concluded, the litigants decided
to compromise the matter in dispute.
1t was agreed between both parties
that Wilcox should tender Lund-
green the balance due on the pur-
chase price of Willard creek, and
that title to the water should revert
to the defendant.
Wilcox deposited in one of the To-
cal banks the amount necessary to
gain possession of the prize in con-
troyersy. 1t was ordered upon re-
quest of the attofness for both par
ties that the suit be dismissed
Before returning to Spring valley.
Lundgreen was required under the
terms of the stipulation to deed Will
lard crek to Wilcox. Lundgreen
ignores this feature of the gentle
mems agreement, hence the action
taken In the district court yesterday
placing his legal clash with Wilcox
among the things not yet satisfactor-
! lily determined.
