JUDGE I. B. LIOIIS
Hubbard-Elliott Copper Company
Win Suit After Hard Battle
Before Judge Lyons.
Judge Lynns granted Hie mo
tion for a non-suit asked for l>y
tlie attorneys for the llubbard
Klliot, Copper company, who were
being sued by stockholders who
wished to set aside the transfer j
of Ihe property from the old de
velopment company to Ihe new |
company.
In grant ing I In' nud ion .1 udge |
Lyons, in a clear and concise j
statement of Ihe law, said that I tie j
plaintiffs had been guilty of Inch- :
es. which, in while man’s talk, j
means sleeping on their rights,!
and that they were estopped from j
asking the relief they desired. !
which, if granted, would result in !
great damage to innocent pur- j
chasers of stock, who might not i
hnvy purchased had an action
[been brought sooner.
Judge Lyons cited a decision of
the Supreme Court in which it
was held I hut in mining properly
especially, which by its very na
ture was purely speculative, wail
ing for some one to develop the
property and then to commence
iin action after the ground is
proven valuable, was against the
pest principles of Hie law.
j Judge Lyons also decided that
under the charter of the llub
bard-Elliol Development company
and,the laws of the stale of
Washington, in which state the
company received its charter, the
development company had the
right to sell all its property to
the new company.
J. T. Evans, of Chicago; John
P. Kay, of Seattle, and Brown &
Lyons, of Valdez, represented the
Hubbard-Elliot Copper company
in its ■successful defense, which
resulted in the non-suit, while J.
Y. 'Ostrander, of Cordova, and T.
J. Donohue were the attorneys
appearing for themselves and
George Treat, hut failed to make
a 'ease.
The granting of the rum-suit,
(places the costs upon (the jtlain
trifl's. , ! .
