Tie Quo Warranto Case Heard in the Morning and the Afternoon De- voted to Arguments in Both Actions-The Fight Ragged About the Dual Meeting of November IA Last Year.

Nothing remains now of Cobrc i Grande litigation in this ter ritory but the judgment. The evidence in the injunction suit of the Cobre Grande company vs. w. c. Greene, George Mitchell and G. A Treadwell, having been put in the night before. the quo warranto case to determine which of the meetings of the two Cobre Grande Companies held in this city on November IA. of last year. was the legal one, was taken up yester- day morning. Much of the evidence adduced in the injunction case was put in in documentary form and the oral evidence was so brief that the whole matter was disposed of by noon. It will be remembered that two meetings were held here on November IA, 1Ss9- The Costello meeting was organized first and subsequently, the other was organized It was in fact a continu- ance of the Bisbee organization.

 The arguments were begun in the afternoon by Attorney J. M. Jamisoh for the plaintiffs. Though the half hour limit suggested by Judge Street, the a. ternoon before was not fixed. MT. Jam sor held himself pretty wellwlthih mat ti,ne and in a general way covered the whole field of contention. He confined himself more p4rIc 1arlv to that famous meeting al . Professor Treadwell was not Pres ond in which in consequence or HIS having had no notification, the "re paople have since contended was Ho1 ieeaI. Upon this point MT.

 Walter Bennett closed the argument in a carefully prepared address, m ,rbi,r bc went over the whole muuuie from the earliest times. Every iacI r,oupht out in the examination was commented upon and all the figures m inc accounts of the operation Of the mine under the Costello regime were rearrayed.
 The arguments, after all. were torm- al rather than useful. No legal ompha- sis was added by them. nor were the facts made any more clear.
 Mr Bonnet concluded his argument shortly before o'clock and Judge Street took both cases under adVlse- ment. without indicating when he might render judgment.
