dates for the Office of Mayor. The
politicians may draw their plans,
but we know of a certain number
of our influential and prominent
business people who are bitterly
opposed to the town getting back
to the politicians, and a ticket
composed of business men. as will
be presented at the proper time,
will surely defeat all the efforts OF
the politicians. This town must
and will remain under the control
of our business people, and not
turned over to the politicians.

-FOUR MEN SUE
 FOR BIG SUM
PANY WAS SLOW IN DELIVERY
Purchasers of Jojobo Mining Claims
 Lost Chance to Buy Property by

The courts of Los Angeles are now trying big damage suit that involves interests held not far from Nogales. The plaintiffs are four mining men from Los Angeles, who are suing Wells Fargo express company for s40.- 0O0 They allege that the ompany was one day ate in the delivery of an i'm portant package.
 The case furnishes a good example of the preciousness of time in this era of quick action on your money. The plaintiffs who ask such high damages of Wells-Fargo are pr. T. Nj. Lyon, Stephen Green, B. B. Cole and W. H. Wolfe.
 The way the story goes from the complaint is that the four plaintiffs purchased the Jojobo group of mines, located near Magdalena, state of So nora, Mex, from Miguel Latz and brother
 The contract price was s40,000 in 1 s 900 payments. The first install | ment was paid and the second s5.000 was to have been paid May IS, 1900. | Lynn claims to have consigned the money to Cole May 13, on agreement of the express company to liver it in Magdalena on May Is.
 The money did not arrive. and, it is claimed. that Cole secured one day of grace from the mine owners. It is said it arrived on the 16th. but Cole was not notified until the 17th, when it was too late.
 The plaintiffs claim they were oust- ed from possession of the mines for their failure to fulfill the contract by making the second payment on time. 1 They claim the mines are worth $80,- 600, and therefue sue for the s40,000 difference alleged to have been lost to them by the shortcomings of the express company.
 The express company in its answer claims that the mine buyers failed to call for the money purposely. with the deliberate intention of defaulting on the payment and getting out of a bad bargain.
 The company claims the money was not consigned to Cole, but to him through another party, and that every effort was made to locate Cole and ef- feet delivery on time.
