of which is:
Cotter Butte Mines, Incorporated, is a
corporation of Delaware and has been
such for 5 years continuously. Harry c.
Cotter and Mabe Cotter Williamson are
brother and sister Of each other and for
8 years last past Mabel Cotter Williamson
has been by Harry C. Cotter employed as
a fence for assets of said corporation and
ton has been put in her name to conceal
the same from process Of law by creditors
of the corporation and of Harry c. Cotter
and from process OF law by plaintiff. That
Harry c. Cotter and Mabel Cotter William
son continuously %conspired together to
hinder and delay creditors OF SAID corpora
ton from collecting their just debts
against it and to defeat the claims and
debts Of plaintiff. That on January q,
1888, the above district court duly gave
judgment in favor of Louis r. Britt and
against Cotter Butte Mines, Incorporated,
for S4,761.l5 and for costs Of suit, S5ll.25i
no part OF said judgment has been paid
and plaintiff is owner thereof. That $4,000
was due and payable on, May 1886, to
plaintiff. That IA said day said defend
ant corporation was the owner of the fol-
lowing lode claims in Jefferson and Silver
Bow Counties, Montana, to-wit. Banker,
Margaret, Paying Teller Helen, Gold
Crown, Gold Coin, Wonder, New Home
stead, Gold Leaf, Gold Bar, Liberty, Vic
tory, Cashier, Stars and Stripes, Dough
Boy, Gold Web, Gold Luck, Cascade, Du-
buque, Malone. On May z 1886, said de-
the collection of plaintiffs claim and
Harry c. Cotter as president of said COR
p~oration executed to Harry G. Cotter a
pretended mortgage for s136,477.6 &c and to
Mabel Cotter Williamson a pretended
mortgage for $40, 162, pretending by said
documents to mortgage said lands. Such
documents are recorded in Jefferson and
Silver Bow Counties, Montana. That the
purpose was to cheat plaintiff. That Cot
ter had no authority to execute either of
said mortgages. That there is no other
property to satisfy plaintiffs judgment.
said corporation was not indebted to Cot
ter in the sum of S136,477.66 on the day
the mortgage was executed or at all but
that Cotter was indebted and is now in
debted to said corporation. Said corpora
ton was not indebted to Mabel COtter
Williamson in the sum Of $40, 1852 or at all;
she was indebted to said corporation in a
sum of $4,000. That the consideration for
both mortgages was inadequate. That
neither Of said mortgages was so acknoWl-
edged to be entitled to be recorded. No
notice of such mortgages was given to
stockholders Of said corporation before
their execution. Ihat tne record Of such
mortgages prevents the sheriffs of Silver
Bow and Jefferson Counties from levying
execution. That plaintiffs judgment is
prior in right and superior to any en-
cumbrance claimed by Harry c. Cotter or
Mabel Cotter Williamson. That plaintiff
is entitled to a reasonable attorney fee of
SIS, 900 against Harry c. Cotter and Mabel
Cotter Williamson for services of attorneys
in procuring cancellation of said mort
cages. Plaintiff prays for judgment that
each and both of said mortgages be de-
clared void and subject to n subsequent
to plaintiffs judgment. That record Of
son Counties, Montana, be declared void.
That plaintiff recover his costs.
