BOUGHT A FINE PROPERTY
nr. Gordon Tweed Acquires the John
 R. Norton Ranch.

r. I. Latham & Co. yesterday con summated the sale Of fine piece of valley property in a choice location, to enc who has long been identified with the tourist colony of this city, but who has now. united himself in a prac- tical financial way with this people, to enjoy their hopes and to partici- pate in any possible future regrets that may fall to their lot.
 The gentleman referred to is MT. Gordon Tweed, a member of the firm of c. E. Colbourn & O., of Lowell, Mass. wholesale dealers in paints and oils. He has spent seven winters in Phoenix, coming here first partly for his health, which now seems to be rugged, and returning year after year to enjoy the mild winter climate. He has finally decided to make Phoenix his permanent winter home. both his mother and sister being well known here as we'll as himself.
 The property purchased is known as the John R. Norton ranch of 160 acres. described as the southwest quarter of section 34, township north, range 3 east. II is situated between the Broomeu or Maxwell ranch on the south and the Tribclet ranch on the north. The purchase. price of the prop erty was $15,0O0 The ranch is well inn proved, not far from town and is in one of the most pleasing parts of the val ley. Mir. Tweed will acquire posses sion of it on April 18th.

various meetings of boards of direc- tors at Philadelphia, which was named in the articles of incorporation as the principal place of business, with a branch office at Globe. It was pro- vided that the place of holding annual meetings might be fixed by the by laws of the company, but though the time was fixed as the first Monday of December. after the first Tuesday it did not appear that any place had been named. Until December of last year the meetings had been held at Phila- delphia. At the annual meeting sub sequent to the first meeting of the board of directors in 1899 there had been no appointment or re-appoint- ment of a general manager, though there was an acquiescence in the management by Col. Fleming, until a meeting held in September, 1902, when MT. Chase was appointed to succeed him. There had been various changes in the directory since the first meet ing
 Following this meeting there was a meeting held at Globe. IL had been called for December 9, but was actu- ally held on December :. By virtue Of that meeting at which Col Fleming was re-appointcd he continued to act and disregarded the action of the Phil adelphia meeting on the ground that 1t was illegal, not having been held in the territory. This is the evidence on which the decision was found.
 It was contended in the first place by the respondent that the proceeding had been improperly begun; that in stead of asking for a mandatory writ the rights of the parties should be tried. That contention was not sus- tained by the court.
 Regarding the Philadelphia meeting of 1902 the court held that while it was voidable it was not void so far as the respondent was concerned; that he was estopred from protesting against the action of that meeting in- asmuch as he had taken part in meet ings held there. Stockholders, how ever, who had not participated in the meetings outside the territory might come into court and question the le- gality of the proceedings there.
 Neither could the court find author ity for the meeting at Globe. There had been no call for the meeting of December :, nor had there been a quorum at that meeting. It was fur ther held that there must be a meet ing in this territory to legalize the present status.

CHASE VS. FLEMING
Former Recognized as Man. aqer of Black Warrior
An Appeal Taken by the Respondent. Judge Rents Decision Bearing Up- on Arizona Corporations.

Judge Kent yesterday rendered a decision in the case of Charles A. Chase of Philadelphia against James \. Fleming, granting a writ of man. damas requiring the respondent to turn over to the petitioner the office Of general manager of the Black Warrior Amalgamated Copper company and the books and papers of the office. The respondent gave notice Of appeal and his motion for a supersedeas bond was granted. the bond being fixed at S10.- eco.
 The decision is a very exhaustive ore embracing some 5000 words and is of interest not only to the parties to the suit. but to members of corpora tions throughout the territory, mem bers of which reside outside the territory. It holds that the an uual meeting of stockholders of corporations organized under the }sws of Arizona must be held within the territory. That was . one of the contentious of the resDOn- dent but he was so situated that he could not avail himself of the deci- sion upon that point.
 The case has been watched with a great deal of interest, not only on ac- count of the importance of the min ing property. but on account of the effect that the finding of the court might have upon Arizona corporations made up wholly. or in a large part by residents of other states. Commercial papers throughout the east had writ ten and telegraphed 10 Phoenix de- string to be informed of the progress of the case.
 Col. Fleming has been the general manager of the Black Warrior proper tics since the organization of the com pany in 1899. when he was appointed to that position. There had been

There is no determination of the le- gality of the eastern board. That may be settled by another suit. If it should be found that the board is illegally or ganized the original board of 1899 and it's acts at that time would be recog- nized. Therefore there is settled only the question of the rights of the peti
 tioner and the respondent to the office of general manager.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. MONDAY. OCTOBER 10 1904
CONVICT ASKS BOARD
TO REWARD SILENCE
Petition for for: Communication of
Sentence Brings Strange
Story to Light

Among the petitions to be considered by
the board of pardons at its meeting this
morning is that of Edwin T. Blew, of
I Minneapolis, who in October, 1902, was
sentenced to seven years and six months
in the state prison. Blew asks that his
sentence be committed. Blews case is
unique in the criminal history of Mime
sofa. So far as known heis the only per-
son who by assuming the guilt of another
may reap a reward.
Blew and T. F. Armstrong were part
ners in the grain commission business
in Minneapolis In order TO obtain money
with which to speculate they forged bills
of lading which they deposited at vari-
Gus banks as collateral. After losing be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. the banks grew
suspicious, and Blew and Armstrong adj
mitted their guilt.
Blew was the first to be sentenced.
Later Armstrong was brought before
the court. He made a strong plea for
mercy. saying that until more than half
the money had been lost he had known
nothing whatever of the forgeries. that
he had countenanced them only in the
hope that the money could be returned
and that Blew alone was the responsible
party. So convincing was his plea that
Judge Brooks let him off with four year
sentence. Blew made no protest
1t now transpires that Armstrong was
familiar with the scheme from the first.
The two men were equally guilty Judge
Brooks is convinced of this and has rec
commended that Blew'S sentence be COM
muted to four years in order that one may
not be more severely punished than the
other.
Had Blew uttered a protest at the time
Armstrong Was sentenced it is probable
that the latter would also have been given
seven years.

JIMMY is MISSING
Fred SchiffmanntoSes His Dog
of Cartoon Fame

Jimmy" the dog that made Fred
Schiffmann famous, is again brought be-
fore the gaze of the unfeeling public, this
time in the role of 1.-The Lost Dog.
In the first place let it be explained that
the dog and Mr.. Schiffmann are sworn
friends and allies This argues discretion
on the part of the dog, for even canine
must look upon what side his biscuit is
But now Jimmy is lost, strayed Or
stolen and Fred Schiffmann is sorrowing i'll
sacl1cloth and ashes. the latter being the
remains of questionable cigars.
Saturday afternoon Fred and Jimmy
wandered into Pete Miesen's cafe. Fred
was leading Jimmy with piece of string.
George Ward and Charley Dewitt were
looking at the ceiling through the bottom
of a lemonade glass They failed to notice
Fred and Jimmy until Fred had started to
decorate the mahogany.
Mighty fine pup, that of yours, Fred,
said Mr.. Dewitt
Il observe you are person of rare dis
cernment." answered Fred.
Want to sellshim?'' said Mr., Dewitt
Don't think you have the price sufh-
cient to negotiate purchase OF this ca

How'll fifty go?' was the interesting
reply Mr.. Dewitt was upon his dignity,
.sNothin' dein','' replied Fred. why,
that dog has a pedigree datin' all the way
Sure answered Mr.. Dewitt "And
the whole bunch were a lot OF yelier
ours that chased Noah cut OF the ark
when he cut down their rations.
In the meantime Mr.. Schiffmann did not
notice that the agile Mr.. Miesen had cut
the string and led Jimmy away. a piece
of liver being the bait. He did notice.
Charley Dewitt going for the door, how
ever. stopping a moment ON the threshold,
whistling, and walking rapidly away.
Then he turned and found only the
string waiting for his CHEEKY word OF
greeting He instantly accused the alb

and made a bee line for the telephone:

majority John A. Johnson would have

few moments. and upon turning around
Jimmy was wagging his tail and look
ing fer more liver and bacon.
Mr. Schiffmann Immediately apoioglzed
to the absent Dewitt. More than that. he
called for DeWitt's place over the phene.
and while the clerk looked up the number
busted himself in again fastening the
string around JimmyS neck.
Hello. Is this you, Charley, he yelled
over the wire Accept my hearty apol-
oeies. Some vandal pinched my pup, and
again. and I want to say that L done you

my account. ..
looked around for Jimmy. The string was
again empty, and Jimmy was lost dog
Now Fred and the bunch are wondering
w6ere Jimmy is located They have an
idea that some cartoenist has taken him
for q model, and are seriously thinking
about swearing out a search warrant
against some of the craft this morning.

WANT HEADQUARTERS
Crusaders Society May Aban.
don Cretln Hall

The question: of securing new quarters
Was considered 4by the Crusaders society
of st. Paul at a meeting yesterday after
noon. A canvass Of the members resulted
in a majority opinion in favor of moving
from the hall in the basement of the Gre
tin high school building. Sixth and Fort
streets, the society.s quarters for several
years.
Before any action will be taken in the
matter, however. Father Lawler, pastor
of the Cathedral, and spiritual director of
the society, will be consulted. A large
committee will meet him at his residence
Tuesday night to discuss the question.
Members who favored moving pointed
ut'that the present quarters are not suit
able to the needs of the society, and
they said that to make the organization
as useful as it might be rooms should be
opened where the members mightespend
their time in the evenings. The present
hall, which is shared by other Secie ties,
cannot be used for that purpose. A com
mittee has been appointed to look for
new quarters, but sbefore Father Lawler
has been seen nothing definite viii be
done. i<ss,sss
