 L. c. Hughes of the Arizona Star
 has brought suit against George Beebe
 and the Cienegeta Mining company
 alleging that with the other stock
 holders he placed in pool his stock
 in the Cienegeta company, but that
 his own stock, amounting to 2,5O0
 shares, was never transferred back to
 him by Beebe when the pool was dis
 solved. Heretofore the Star has been
 accustomed to print glowing accounts
 of the company's property, but this
 practice has been discontinued. Tue
