torney's office told Justice Lawrence
that 1t IVES not true that Davis was
arrested on a Geographic request from
Cincinnati; that he was arrested by the
detectives because they recognized him
as a professional crook. After his ar
rest 1t was learned that ne was wanted
IN the West.

Prescott and Arizona Line Wants
s8,25O,0O0 Damages.
Atchison Railroad, Russell Sage and
Gould Among the Defendants.

Suit was commenced to-day in the
United States Circuit Court by the Pres
colt and Arizona Railway Company
against the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad, and the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad, as well as directors of
these roads. to recover 3s,2JO,OW dam
ages.
The complaint states that in July,
1880. an act of Congress was passed TO
protect trade and commerce against un-
lawful restraints and monopolies. The
defendants. It Is alleged, combined to
monopollze and conspired to monopolize
among themselves n portion OF the
trade and traffic between several states
and nations.
All these alleged acts of monopoly
and unlawful restraint, were perpetra.
ted, the complaint states, and carried
out to such good purpose that the plain
tif's receipts. which amounted to sl3O0O.
in 1892, were reduced In 1893 to S363yJ,
and in 1894 to nothing.
The alleged Proceedings Of, Of The q, de- E,
direct loss OF 81. 75OO 900, but it sues for
the larger amount stated above.
The suit is of more than passing local
interest, as 1t was the depreciation of
holding of the Madison Square Bank
that wrecked that Institution.
In the list of defendants. besides the
railroads, are Russell Sage, George j..
Could the Barings and a score of other
companies and individuals.
A. ID. Vinton, the counsel through
whom the suit Is brought. was seen at his
Office, 10 Wall street.
"If we succeed in this suit" said he,
at will prove that the investment made
fby the Madison Square Bank In the Sc
curities of the Prescott and Arizona
Central was a first-class one, and Will
also result in placing among the funds OF
the bank enough money to pay all Its
debts and expenses and return more
than par to its stock holders.
The suit Is also of interest to every
| holder of Atchison securities, mas
| much as the complaint alleges that lille
gal payments have been made from the
| Atchison treasury"
The ground of complaint is that the
plaintiff was conducting a railroad con.
meeting Prescott with the Atlantic and
| Pacific Railroad. an ally of the AtchsCn
at Prescott Junction. Later on rail
| road was built from the Atlantic and Pa
| cinc line to Prescott, starting from Ash
Fork and paralleling the plaintiff. The
new road Is alleged to have been Off
cered by officers of the Atchison anG
| Topeka and Santa Fe. and to have OBJ
| tained concessions that made 1t impossi
BILE for the plaintiff to maintain competi
| ton.
