LOCATORS ARE ENRICHED Idaho Partners Alleged to Have Withheld 1O0 Shares of Stock Received From Operating Company In Payment. SPOKANE. Wash, Dec. 20. (Spe cial.) Judgment for stock worth probably $200,000 will be signed by Superior Judge Huneke at once in favor of W. J. & J. B. Langley, under a decision made by the court this morning.

C. Corbin In 1905. The judgment will be for two-fifths of 1000 shares in the Corbin company, or 400 shares, worth now about $500 each. Judge Huneke found that when the claims were sold to Corbin the two de fendants reported that only $100,000 was obtained by them, whereas, by fraud, 1000 shares of stock in the coal company formed to operate the claims were also part of the consideration. He found that the defendants divided the $100,000 among the partners, but kept the shares.
