careful instruction in the faith The
Rosary and Litany of the Blessed Vir-

Mass prayers were read in common
every Sunday. They were visited
once or twice a year by missionary
priests. They now have the joy of
seeing priests and Sisters again
among them, working in full liberty,
and the ancient faith resuming new
life and vigor in this abandoned but
fertile soil.

In decision handed down Monday
evening the supreme court affirms the
judgment entered in the First judicial
district for Shoshone county for the
plaintiff in the case entitled Benjamin
c. Hammitt versus the Virginia Min
ing company. The litigation represents
an action to quiet title. The opinion is
written by Justice Bulge, whose find
ings are concurred in by Chief Justice
Morgan. Justice Rice did not sit with

The case was an action to quiet title
20 an undivided one-six interest in the
Virginia lode mining claim, which was
allowed by the lower court which over
ruled the general demurrer to the COM
rlaint. This was assigned as error.
The complaint alleged in substance
that he is the owner of the property
and that the company asserts a claim
and interest adverse to him and that
such claim is without right or interest
in the property. The supreme court
upholds this contention.
