THE INTERNtCINt WAR
IN THE ALTA COMPANY
Another Suit for the Possession of
Stock Brought Into the Court of This
District. I.s. n


The case of Gibson Taylor. G. w.
Griffen. II. A. Austin and J. c. Ferral.
against the Alta Mining and Smelling
company, II. w. Augustine, II. F.
Clough, Ira A. Wood and jeanette X.
Wood was brought here yesterday on a
change of venue from Pima county.
This is a part of the dispute which
found it's way into the court of this dis
trict last week in the case of the Alta
Mining company against Augustine,
Clough, Wood and Mrs. Wood.
AS in the former case this one is for
the return of stock to the treasury of
the company and for an injunction to
prevent the voting of the stock at an
election which was to be held last Sep
TENDER. A temporary injunction was
issued.
The stock whose return is demanded
got into circulation through a Mrs.
Blewett, wife of one of the officers of
the company. She had something over
a million shares 1t was discovered
that she was flooding the market with
it to such an extent that there was no
demand for the treasury stock and ne
gotiations with her developed that she
would sell 1t for a little more than
$4,000. The company had no money.
but Clough advanced 1t, and the stock
was held in mis- name until the company
could reimburse him. That was later
done, but 1t is alleged that the stock
was not returned but passed into the
hands of the other defendants without
an equivalent.
The principal office of this mining
company is at Tucson, and its property
is in Pinal county.

stolen. Mr.. Wood found it later in the

The almost unprecedented rainy

almost untold damage. Aside from
the damage doue to the roads, the far.
mers of the surrounding country are
being hard hit, and about the only
thing Thew can do, is sit indoors and
watch what they have raised during
the summer go to waste.
The large oat crop. most of which
was in shocks in the field, has been
damaged while tomatoes and other
vegetation is rottening by the wagon
load. Ii is stated that the peach crop
in the great West Virginia peach belt,
has suffered mach. The peaches that
were ripe have been blown to the
ground and owing to the continued
Indictment weather canrot be gathered
and marketed as it should be. The
hay crop was to a great extent put in
barns and in stacks before the wet
season commenced, yet there is still
much hay standing in shocks in the
meadows, which is being ruined.

cool DAYS AXE SAID TO BE RAPID
LY APPROACHING
WeatherNise Persons Declare That the
Coming winter VIII he an
Unusually severe One.

Persons who are wise in their know
ledge OF the weather that is to come
predict that the back of the hot
weather is broken, and that soon the
hot days will be thing CT the past.
Thew are of the wishbone school of
weather prophets, but it is possible
that they may be right, for they base
their predi tions on signs which they
say have never failed them in the
past.
In the first place, the Katydid has
appeared, and il is confidently assert
ed that the appearance of the katydid
is a sure sign that cool nights are at
hand. within six weeks after the
first katydid has sung, frost is sure TO
appear say these prophets, and they
point to an unbroken record in proof.
Then there are many signs that next
winter, unlike last winter, will be
severe In the first place,
there are tushels of berries on the
holly bushes in all psrks and in the
country. This is said to
be natures's wav of poviding food
for the birds, and big crop of holy
berries means long and severe WIN
ter. This prediction is supported by
the statement from the West that the
corphusks are much thicker this year
than they have been for long time,
while news comes from the mountain
sections of Pennsylvania and West
Virginia that there will be an enor-
nous Weld of acorns. beechnuts,
chestnuts aud other fuits of the forest
upon which birds and beasts depend
for food during the winter months.
