THE REALITO CASES.
Judgment in the District Court Last Week Disposed of the Claims of Small Minority Seeking Control.

In the case tried in the District Court last week, before Judge Nave, wherein a decision was rendered recognizing as the lawful and legal board of directors of the Realito Copper, Gold & Silver Mining & Reduction Company that body at the head of which is Hon. Eugene 5. Ives of Tucson as president, with MT. J. L. Sheperd as general man. ager. there terminated a disastrous Ito those who made it) effort to deprive MT. J. l.. Sheperd of the rightful control of great property which he had deeded to the com- pany named, out from which the people engineering the scheme hoped and endeavored to oust Mir. Sheperd. At the time of the an nual meeting of the company, held in Nogales in January last, there was a full account of the proceed ings at Columbus, Ohio, which led up to the holding of two meetings and election of two sets of directors. One set elected as president MT. Ives, as vice president Mr. Bird, as secretary Mir. Thos. Fitch, and as general manager MT. Sheperd. The other set elected Mr. l.. J. Haas of Columbus, Ohio, to the presidency, and MT. Frank J. Weinlein of the same place, secretary. The two named latter were in the old board of directors, with Messrs. Sheperd and Bird, and Mir. w. H. Ellinger was the secretary. It was split in that old board, and the issue to Mir. Sheperd of stock claimed by him under the original contract of incorporation, that made the differ ence that caused the two meetings of shareholders. The Haas Vein lein faction would not recognize the Sheperd stock. The Bird Sheperd faction insisted upon it's recognition. At the meeting of the latter the stock of Mir. Sheperd was voted. Immediately upon organ ization of the new board Mir. Ives, the new president took steps to test in the courts the validity of the title to the new office to which he had been elected, and filed sev- eral suits touching various phases of the matter. The crucial action
 was proceeding in quo warranto assailing the right of the Haas Weinlein board of directors to act as a board of direction for the com- pany named. That suit was not ready for trial at the April term of court, and all the other suits went over with it to the October term. In the October term, closed last week, a judgment was rendered recognizing the IvesSheperd board of directors, and denying the right of the Haas Weinlein board to any voice or control in the management of the company. That settles the matter; and MT. Sheperd and his friends in control can proceed now to carry out the extensive opera. tions that were projected, but were interfered with by the litigation sprung at the time of the trouble. In this connection it is not amiss to state that Mir. Sheperd has re- mained in control of the properties all the time, and under the aus pIces of the board of directors he

have followed but for the unfortu. nate litigation. In violation oi an injunction issued in one of the other cases instituted by Mir. Ives the Columbus faction sent to Rea- Tito man with orders to supplant Mir. Delos Durfee as superintend- ent. Mir. Durfee refused to deliver and that effort to secure possession of the property proved futile. Also in violation of an injunction the Columbus outfit attempted to hold meeting of the Mexican holding company, at Hermosillo; but the astuteness of the secretary of that company, Mir. Charles R. Miles, headed off that move.
 Another suit in the series was one against Lewis J. Haas, the de- posed president of the company, instituted by Mir. Sheperd person. ally, to recover the sum of$380000 remaining unpaid upon a block of 15,000 shares of the Reaito stock, That was decided In favor of Mir. Sheperd, with an order for execu- tion. Unless Mir. Haas comes to the front with the money, and very quickly, he is apt to lose the entire 15,000 shares.
 Another suit was by Mir. Sheperd against Messrs. Haas and Weinlein for damages in having caused his ar rest under a warrant from the gov ernor of Ohio. An officer was sent all the way from Ohio to take Mir. Sheperd back to that state to face criminal proceedings. Governor Kibbey refused extradition. Later, so it is reported, an attempt was made to indict Mir. Sheperd in Ohio, but the grand jury before which he was presented refused to indict. Dispositions due from Ohio in that case failed to reach Noga les in time for trial at the term of court last week, so 1t went over, and will be tried at the April term. Had the depositions arrived in time the case would have been tried, and, no doubt, Mir. Sheperd would have been granted judgment. The depositions are now on file in the court, and will be presented in open court when the case comes to trial next April. The dispositions show that those stockholders who stood with Haas and Weinlein at the inception of the trouble have deserted them, and will support hereafter the Ives-Sheperd man. agement.
 As stated hereinbefore, the Shep- erd management have retained possession of the property, and have continued work steadily, de- veloping large and valuable ore bodies. Mr. Delos Durfee, the superintendent, who was in Noga- les short time ago, states that he has blocked out ready for ship ment, 4,O00 tons of high grade ead,silver ores that will pay to ship. As soon as the railway, now near Cumuripa, is extended up the Yaqui river as far as Realito ship ments will begin. It is expected now that will be early in the com ing year. Beside the lead silver properties, developed already, the company has very large and ex. tensive copper properties, that will be put under development work as soon as arrangements can be made to do so.

idaho Senator Asks to Have Action
On His Case Postponed.

Washington. April 17.-President
Roosevelt has been appealed to by Sem
ator Borah, Of Idaho, TO review his in
dictment by the Federal grand jury
with view TO postponing action until
after the trial Of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, the men accused Of murder
ing Governor Steunenberg, Of Idaho.
Senator Borah Is the special counsel
engaged by the state to prosecute these
officials Of the Western Federation OF
Miners! The appeal Of Senator Borah
places the president in a rather embar-
RAISING position.
In the event the president withholds
the action against Senator Borah, it
will be charged that he is showing fa-
vors to those who are prosecuting the
miners, and If he does not, Senator
Borah will be seriously embarrassed in
the prosecution of the miners charged
with the murder Of Steunenberg.
