THE SUMPTER MINER
11
Decision in Famous Ella Mine Case.
A press dispatch from Holse snys:
Judge Heatty, of the United Stateseourt,
handed down a decision for the defense
in the famous ease of 1 'at rick Clark et ill
vs. Charles Sweeny et nl, Involving the
ownership of the Klla claim, adjoining
the Tiger-Poorman at Burke, in the
Cieur d'Alenes. Sweeny purchased the
Klla from plaintiffs for f-1000. It was
claimed afterward that he secured it
through misrepresentations and fraud,
it being asserted that the property was
then worth 1,000,000. Suit was brought
for cancelation of the transfer. It has
been a sensational pr- ceeding through
out and has attracted a great deal of at
tention. Referring to the charge that
the Klla was clandestinely explored, the
opinion says: "While there is no evi
dence or authority for, or objection to
what defendants may have done, it seems
that since the time of Clark's manage
ment workings have been extended into
this ground without question and acqui
esced in, and it may have been because
the old company owned the ground on
loth sides of the Klla. Sweeny says lie
found the works there and used them
without knowing of any objection. Un
der such circumstances it can not be
concluded that such possession was. clan
destine or for the purpose of defrauding
the Klla owners." Patrick Clark said to
n Spokesman-Hevlew reporter, on learn
ing of the adverso decision in his case
against the Kmpire State-Idaho com cem
pany: "Although we should have been
more pleased to have won the decision,
we are not nt all discouraged at having
lost it. This is hut the opening round
in this contest, and no matter who
should have won, the case would have
gone to the higher courts. We certain
ly exicct to take it up before the court
of upieals."
