VIM. and Alex Kenny have bought
the old Louis Wheeler farm east of
town, the former getting 100 acres
and the latter so acres, and the
price being $50 per acre. 1t is
only about four years ago that Mr..
Wheeler sold this farm to Mr.. Souser
for $50 per acre. 1t shows that the
lands hereabout are rapidly advanc-
ing in price and the high mark is
not yet reached.
A quiet wedding was celebrated
at the home Of Rev. and Mrs. Louis
Meyer, 43 Mitchell Place, Cincinnati,
Ohio, on November 81. Mr.. Hugh
McGlade of Hopkinton, Iowa, and
Miss Mary Hale were united in the
bonds of holy lnatrimony, Rev Meyer
officiating and Rev. D. o. Jack as
sisting. Miss Hale is we'll and favor
ably known in Hopkinton. For
more than six years she made her
home with MIR. and Mrs. Meyer and
accompanied them in February to
Cincinnati, where she quickly gained
the good will and loving friendship
Of all with whom she came in con-
tact. The surprise which the men,
bers of the Clinton street Reformed
Presbyterian congregation gave her
on November l3, and the rich and
heautifnl nresants that were shower
ed upon her on that occasion, bore
abundant testimony to the love she
had aroused in the eight months of
her sojourn in Cincinnati. Mr.. Nc
Glade, youngest son of L. NJ. Nc
Glade, is known as young man of
sterling character and great ability.
The young couple started soon after
the ceremony for Chicago, thence to
Hopkinton. They will reside on the
groom's farm east of town.-Leader.

LOVE AND WAR IN
 TWO ACTS
LOthafiO Refuses to be Thrown Out and
 MOCkS Husband

Houglas, Ariz., Jan. 26.-tSpecial.) -
 Jose Catz is an Italian storekeepeI
 who lives and does business on First street. Jose has an attractive Mexican wife, and a gallant lodger The lodger is Dr. Francisco Imclan, a fair-skinned Mexican who seems to have the blood of old Spain. The doctor is only about sixty-five years old, and is a very active man with. out regard to years. He has a big practice among his people, and lives well on his ample income. His office he rents from Jose Catz, and he is now believed by Jose to take too viv- i'd an interest in his family.
 Mrs. Catz employed a Douglas firm of lawyers some time ago to get her a divorce from Jose, alleging that the doctor was prosecuting her and as Jose wouldn't throw him out, she would get out herself.
 But yesterday there was a reconcii- iation and the divorce business was called of. Jose agreed to fire the doctor and took along a rife to assist at the function. He halted his forces, consisting of himself and rife, in front of the doctors office and, after calling the roll and making his mill tary dispositions. called upon the doc tor to depart or suffer his displeas- ure.
 But Doctor Francisco Imclan was not impressed. He criticised Jose's tactics and said things reflecting on the arms and ammunition, and then wound up by inviting the detachment to have something" inside his office. Full of rage and burning under the taunts, Catz repaired to Judge Mo Donaid's office and asked for an order of court for the election of his renter, but the court couldn't grant 1t, be- cause the doctor was so punctual in paying his rent as to have the law on his side.
 At this epoch in the negotiations, Doctor Imclan took the initiative and swore out a warrant for Jose, charg- ing him with felony, an assault up on him with deadly weapon. The trial will come up in Judge McDon- aids court tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The leading families of Rag town are largely represented in the list of witnesses, and the trial of Jose will be one of interest, as able legal talent has been employed to defend him. The prosecution will al so be strong
 Aside from the fine legal phases of the case, there is the social inter- est Standing room in Judge Mo Donald's court tomorrow at 10 o'clock will be at a premium.

JUDGE HATES OPINION
 ON RULING
No Bar to PrOSpeCtOfs OF Investors Americans May
 Acquire Mines

The order from the Cit yof Mexico
 debarring individual Americans ana
 other foreigners from acquiring min
 ing property in the state of Sonora
 Mexico, was of great interest to tho
 people of all the towns of the Sonora frontier. The people of Douglas arc all interested in one way or another in Sonora mines, and in the general development of that state. Therefore the InternationalAme has made especial efforts to throw all the light possible on the ruling.
 During the present week many prominent business men and lawyers familiar with the conditions, legal and of a business nature, in Sonora have been interviewed, and the unya. rying verdict has been that the new ruling is not aimed at and will not affect the business interests of any honest American or other foreigners now interested in Sonora.
 The Sonora mining engineer. !. p. Casey, Albert R. Marowetz, Ameri- can consul at Nosales, Mexico, many business men of Sonora, and every lawyer of either Sonora or Arizona interviewed, are of the opinion that Americans may prospect as hereto fore and experience no more difficulty in denouncing their claims than for merly. The simple and cheap process is to form q Mexican corporation and denounce the mining property in the corporate name.
 Judge J. D. Haff, vice president of the Fl Tigre Mining company, was seen today and asked his opinion as tu the process by which Americans might acquire Sonora mining prop erty and as to the advisability of Americans prospecting in the state Judge Half is one of the ablest law yers in the southwest, and is possibly the best informed American attorney on Mexican procedure in the state of Sonora. He said:
 Why, no. See no reason why Americans should not prospect as usual in Sonora. They may acquire titles now as simply and as easily as ever. The formation of q Mexi- can corporation in the name of which Announcements may be made, or min ing property bought and sold, is very simple and comparatively cheap. It also will cause no delay. It is quickly formed and very simple. The corpor- alton may be formed in any federal district in the republic to do business in Sonora. Some places are cheaper than others, and all may do business in Sonora after formation.
 The Americans prospecting or con- templating investments in Sonora have no cause for Uneasiness. They do not have 10 lose any time over the new ruling, and they may be sure it is only aimed at people who have abused the confidence Of the Mexican government. IT will be followed in time by q law liberal to Americans, and in line with the policy Of the Diaz government always pursued toward Americans. to whom he has always been very friendly
