VINTON VISITS
The Court House and t Results in the PrOnulgatiOn of Two Formidable
 Looking Orders.
Four Coal Cars and a Long List of PrOmininent Railroad Magnates Commanded to Come to
 Prescott.

Arthur Dudley Vinton, "attorne,
 Tor the receiver, etc, put in a ful
 days work at the court house last
 Saturday. MT. Vinton deas not yisit the temple of justice every day il
 the week, but on the days that he
 does, something always draps," fl
 1t IS nothing more than a good fai
 fee into the cofers of the clerk of
 the district court.
 Last Saturday was Mir. Vinton's
 day in court, and from the orders
 issued, it will be seen that he was
 there for business. The first order
 directed the United States Marshal
 to proceed forthwith, immediately,
 or sooner, if possible, or words of
 similar or dissimilar import, to Sel-
 igman, commonly called Prescott
 Junction, and then and there com
 pei the Atlantic < Pacific Railroad,
 or its agent, to turn over to Wm. N
 Kelly, receiver of the F. & A. -.
 Railroad, or his lawfully constituted
 agent, four car loads of coal,
 shipped from Gallup for the use of
 said road.
 The causes leading up to the is
 suance of said order are these.
 Since May lst, 1898, the P. < A. C.. Railroad has accumulated, it is al-
 legged, eighteen ears belonging to
 the A. & P. and A., T. < s. F. rail
 road companies. and although ire
 quent demands have been made for
 the return of said cars, they have
 been unable to secure them. For
 this reason the A. & P. Company
 naturally have some hesitancy about
 allowing any more cars to be
 switched over to the P. & A. c. road,
 fearing lest they might not be re- turned. So, when the four car loads of coal, referred to above, arrived at
 Prescott Junction, the agent of the road was informed, that on payment of the freight he could transfer the coal to cars of the F. x A. C. and take 1t away. Insisting on their the A. & F. in their possession, the above order was secured. It has not, however, been executed yet, aud further hearing in regard to it will probably be had before it is.
 After disposing of the coal cars to his entire satisfaction, Mir. Vinton constituted himself sort of immi- grafton or excursion society. Hay ing for two or three months enjoyed l the exhilarating influence of our delightful mountain air, he wants to | share 1t with othNrs who are his par ticular friends. Invitations have | been previously issued, at his sug- gestion, for them to visit Prescott, | or in lieu of doing so to perform cer- | tain acts, but these having been ig- nored, he secured a peremptory | order requiring their presence here, the date set for the occasion being November s, 1893, at 10 o'cl ok. But lest we make a mistake in the matter, We quote from our contem- porary, which says:
 Saturday last an order granted by Judge Hawkins. was filed by Wm. N. Kelly, receiver of the P. < A. c. By, citing "the Atlantic < Pacific Company, and J. J. Me Cook, Robert Harris, George c. Msgoun, United States Trust Com pany, Cecil Barring, Thomas Barring, Alden Speare, B. P. Cheney, J. W. H. W. Gardner, J. D. Springer, D. B. Robinson, j. A. Will 1 amson, Samuel Hays, Fl. s. Van Slyck, Geo. T. Nicholson. W. j. Black, to appear before this court It the court house in the city of Prescott, in the county of Yavapai, Territory of Arizona, on the Sth lay of November, 1893, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, and then md there show cause why it or be hould not be fined or imprisoned or contempt of court. The case IS in all probability ( imilar to the one mentioned in the dispatch:
 "Tacoma, Wash, Oct. I2.-Presi- lent Van Horne and other high Ca adian Pacific officials were today tied to appear Nov. 18th to answer indictments for alleged violation of he interstate commerce laws" Now a man with even a less de- V rec of comprehension than Arthur t Dudley VintOn, can readily see that b here is no similarity between the V ases cited above. One of them q imply calls on the persons named e 9 purge themselves of alleged con- P smpt, while the others are cited to h ppear and answer indictments. Mir. p inton is certainly too able lawyer o nd too intelligent gentleman to II aim that two such eases are simi IT. To say that the last order b amed was similar in import to the W sse of the four coal cars, would O ore nearly express the truth. The 1T rder grew out of the mandamus W roceedings, instituted some time fl nee by Mir. Vinton, and hke the D four coal cars" looks bigger when tc lily one side of it IS seen than 1t W pes when you get a full view of fc Ie whole case. According to Eos iU rs copyrighted weather predic- ie Dns, the indications are entirely b, favorable for the appearance of pi y of the gentlemen named on the fr Ite mentioned. in
