The new owners incorporated under the style of the Seven Stars Mining company. According to the terms of the sale the purchasers were to pay $45O,O00 The sum of $217, ,000 was actually paid and Lawler was made superintendent for the new company. The purchasers never paid any more, claiming that they had been deceived by the pros pectus of the property issued by the defendants.
 Under the terms of the agreement of sale the property fell back to the defendants, who in the subsequent litigation obtained judgment in the lower court before jury. In the case just tried, after a strong fight the plaintiffs succeeded in bringing the matter before the court untrammeled by the deliberations of a jury.

 tried in the territory The history of the litigation has already been pub lished in The Republican Lawler and Wells, the defendants, were the owners of several claims in Yavapai county, among which was the Hillside mine. They were sold to Wiser, the plaintiff, and other eastern men, one

They hesi- tated, evidently suspecting trap set by the bank officials. They held pow-wow and it looked as if panic would start which would end in break ing out of the front doors. At last the Indians were gotten in motion toward the side entrance. When the fore most reached the small private office he put his head in cautiously to see if a bank official with a sandbag was waiting for rhim. The room was empty. The Indian grunted assur- ance and the tribe trooped through, thankful for their escape from the money power.

A MUNICIPAL SCARE
Which Was Shown Yesterday to Be
 Without Foundation.

Without Foundation.
 IA consternation which fell upon the health department of Phoenix several days ago was dissipated yesterday morning. Dr. Duffield was informed through two sources, neither of which is disclosed for obvious reasons, that M F. Russell, a resident of Phoenix, and whose family resides here, had escaped from a special quarantine at Mobile, Ala, had bought a ticket to Phoenix and was then on his way west There were two elements in the gray ity of the case. The fact that MT. Russell had been under special or in dividual quarantine proved that he had been imminently exposed and was likely to become a victim of the dis ease. The conditions in this climate are such that if yellow fever should once gain the slightest foothold, it could be stamped out with great diff culty, if at all.
 All trains to Phoenix were therefore carefully watched, the authorities hay ing determined to take charge of MT Russell upon his arrival. Word was brought to Health Officer Dr. Duffield yesterday morning that MT. Russell had just arrived. Accompanied by Marshal Hooker, Dr. Duffield went to his house. believing it probable that it would be necessary to establish a quarantine about him and his belong ings. They found him at home and explained the delicate nature of their errand. Dr. Duffield further explained to him that having come from an in fected district, preceded by the report that he had left it irregularly, it was necessary that he should be provided with a clean bill of health. MT Rus sell replied that he was so prepared and he further satisfied the health of ficer by producing a certificate from the United States Marine hospital ser vice stating that he had not been in any way exposed to the fever.
 This was all the assurance neces- sary, but if any other had been re- quired. the evident intelligence and responsibility of MT. Russell and his regard for his own family would have furnished it.
