MIKE AHERN Is ARRESTED FOR
SELLING WHISKY TO INDIAN

Mike Ahern added another offense
to his jail record last Friday during
his forty years residence in the eoun-
ty, by being placed under arrest by
City Marshal Enslow on the charge
of selling whisky to an Indian. The
accused was detected by the marshal
in the act of delivering bottle of
liquid tumult TO a redskin and re-
ceiving satisfactory emolument for
same.
The defendant has been in trouble
frequently in years past, and earned
the distinction of being prisoner
by occupation. During the years of
depression in this county. Mike Ahern
was usually the only person that
would be bound over at numerous
sessions of the grand jury. but he
was not convicted of any OF the
crimes charged. A complete exoner-
alton would result after the deliber.
ations of the inquisitorial body be
cause the evidence would not be
available.

ANTOINE ACQUITTED
OF GRAND LARCENY

Jim Anton. a Greek. accused of the
theft of a package of bills containing
$1100 from Arthur Smith, president
of the Copper National Bank last
December. was acquitted of the
charge of grand larceny by jury
in the district court last Monday.
The currency had been left in
passenger coach on the McGill sub
urban train by Mr.. Smith, after he
had left the train. The money was
found by Anton. and within short
time the entire amount was recover
ed by Sheriff Grain from barn in
Snelteryille
The guilt or innocence of the de
fendant rested entirely upon the
question of intent. The foreigner
did not deny taking the money out
of the car, but contended that he
would return the package to the own
er as soon as a suitable reward was
forthcoming.
Attorney B. L. Quayle, who rep
resented the defendant. objected to
question that had been asked
Sheriff Grain by the District Attor-
ney as to whether Anton had spoken
to him about the money, claiming
that testimony of this nature was
inadmissable because a foundation
for the offense had not been proven.
The objection was overruled and
an exception taken by the counsel for
defense. 1t was stipulated that the
objection should apply to all testi-
mony including Antone's confessions.
The confession was offered in evil
dence. Quayle read it to the jury
and dwelt specifically on the portion
that Anton desired eliminated, the

+. ID. GoODY SEEKS JUDGMENT
BY DEFAULT AGAINST j. II.
MARRIOTT AS TIME ALLOWED
Iiy COURT HAS EXPIRED.

A precipe for default and motion
for judgment was filed in the clerk 5
Office yesterday by defendant in the
case of James H. Marriott against
Forest ID. and Coral p. Goody. 1t is
the contention of defendants that
Marriott's demurrer to their answer
and motion to strike out certain por-
tions of that document were over
ruled by the court. The startling
claim is made that the time allowed
to serve reply to the answer has
expired and that none was filed.
Title to the Cumberland and Bos-
ton groups of mining claims is in
volved in the litigation. These min
eral holdings were acquired by the
Boston-Nevada Mining company
about eight years ago and the devel-
opment of the estate was under the
supervision of Goody, who was pres
ident and general manager of the
corporation.
There were several long. lean and
lank years for those VINO were inter-
ested in the exploitation of the gold
bearing tract. In order to hold
his interest Goody placed a meehan-
les lien on the two groups to protect
claim of s3021.20.
His right TO the benefit of a me-
chanie's lien was questioned by
Franklin X Goheen, a Toledo cap
litalist, and the Boston Nevada COM
pany on the ground that the statutes
intended that ii should not embrace
officials because they were in po-
sition to protect their interests ana
salaries. Goheen declared that ths
provisions of the law extended onl.
to those who performed manual la
bor Goody captured the first skir
mish when the court sustained hi
right to a mechanics lien.
James H. Marriott broke into the
picture by acquiring Goheen's inter
ests for cash consideration of s23,.
| 600, and without delay obtained an
! injunction in the district court pre-.
venting Goody and his wife from go
ing on the mineral bearing zone that
was immersed in the throes of litiga-
tion.
Goody sought to have the injune-
tion dissolved on the ground that il
was a mere scheme and artifice to
exclude him from possession of the
claims in jeopardy. and had for its
direct purpose the depreeiating and
rendering worthless the mechanic &
lien held by Goody for S3021.20.. He
asserted that the property was held
by him as security for the payment
of the Indebtedness. Goody claimed
ownership of the ground through
certain eonveyanees from the Boston
Nevada company.

even If | am compelled to beg, bor-
row or steal that filthy stuff Ole
can get away with fine line of talk
or lingo whenever the occasion re-
auires, and his hearers are usually
enslaved by his soft conversation.
The quiessence iIr baseball circles
will be in the discard heap. and the
reawakening of the loudmouthed
and persistent baseball yap will be
coincident with the arrival of the ball
players from the south land.
From what has filtered in, the Pi-
oche bunch have expressed an un-
willingness to engage in nine-ses-

be willing to shy their castor into

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Informal as
surances that the British order re-

pital supplies to the central powers
is about to be modified have been re-
ceived by the Red Cross and prepa-
