Alleges They Failed To Comply With
 The. Law
Says Corporation Has No Resident
 Agent
(From Saturday's Daily.)

Attorney General F. S. Clark of this city has begun war on corporations filing their articles in Arizona, which do not comply with tho law, his first of- ficial net in this line being the filing of n complaint against A. A. Water man & Co.,, makers of fountain pens.
 Clark bases his complaint on sec. tion of the Arizona statutes which reads that foreign corporations desiring to do business in this Territory must appoint q resident agent who has lived in Ari. xona for three years, notice of his ap- pointmcnt being filed with the Tcrritor- ial Auditor.
 After setting forth that it was the duty of the Waterman company to ap- point m agent, who is bona fdc resi-. dent, Attorney General Clark alleges that the company has failed to make the appointment and file the proper notice with Territorial Auditor Page or any of his successors.
 Clark asks that the company be dis. solved and all corporate rights and priv ilcgcs and franchises annulled and for. fcitcd, the effect being to put the Waterman company out of business as far as it's incorporation under the laws of Arizona goes.
 Attorney General Clark has been pro. pairing for some time to begin action against companies that incorporate in Arizona and then fail to comply with the Tcrritory's laws, whether through oversight or because of some fraudu. lcnt reason.
 Arizona incorporation laws are very broad, and for that reason several thous- and companies arc incorporated here each year, though they never intend to do business in this Territory.
 The only requirement under the law is that the company have it's principal office in Arizona, and that it appoint n local agent. who cnn sue and bc sued under inc Arizona law. This the Water man company has failed to do.
 should Attorney General Clark E con. tcn,on bc sustained by the courts it will probably result in stirring up sev. cral companies that have not fully com piled with the Arizona laws.

O|SC0vERER 0F THE '.'SA|NTEO GIRL"
 |S FREE

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 2s.-Lauro Aguirre, editor of La Reforma Social. of Fl Paso, is again free man. For thirty-cight days he was kept in jail without hearing, while Federal ofHe. ials connected with the Immigration Department hunted high and low for evidence against him. They failed to find single thing against him and he was released Saturday.
 Aguirre is remembered by many of those who have lived in Tucson for number of years. ARuirrc visited Tue son ten years ago. With him he brought Teresa dc Cobre. the "sainted girl of Sonora.''
 Nowhere in Mexico is there a woman whose name is known by so many as was that of Teresa de Cobre. Of striking beauty, with large black eyes that seemed to look into the soul, and possessed of wonderful magnetism, this woman held marvellous influence over people.
 She went suddenly into a franco at her home at Cabora. For three days and three nights she seemed to sleep. All efforts to arouse her proved m. availing. Physicians laborcd in vain. Then as suddenly as she had gone into the trance, she recovered.
 CT have seen God, and am possessed of the power to aid the sick and af- fiicted," she announced.
 News of her strange illness and her statement on recovery spread broadcast throughout northern Mexico. Many came to see the wonderful girl and marvellous cures were reported. Whether there was any truth in the report Is not known, but at all events she had won dcrful influence over the lower class and the Yaquis. Her influence over the latter is said to have been the cause of the uprising among the Indian tribe which continues to this day.
 The Sonora government finally decid- cd that the beautiful young girl was n menace to the country, and fearing that she might prove n second Joan d'Arc with the Yaquis, they cxilcd her from the country.
 Direct to Tucson the beautiful Mexi- can girl came. With her was Lauro Aguirre. friend and protector of the girl. He secured for her rooms on South Stone avenue.
 News of her presence in the city spread rapidly. and before she had been here day the house was besiegcd by several hundred sick and afflicted per sons. The beautiful young woman, sup posed to be possessed of the wonderful healing powers, saw them all, and many declared they were benefited.
 Teresa remained here four days. Then she went away, and was seldom heard from again. About n year ago she died in Clifton, in poverty. Her beauty was gone. Her magical power had disap- peared. The "sainted girl of Sonora" 1 had been forgotten.

Files Suit Contesting ]. (. Bradbury's
 Election
Allegations Same As In The Talbot
 Contest
(From sJaturday's Daily.)

Following in the footsteps of the present District Attorney, k. P. Talbot, Roland Mosher, who was defeated at the recent election for County Recorder by J. c. Bradbury, filed suit in the District Court last evening against Bradbury, contesting his election to the office of Recorder.
 The complaint Is identical with that filed by Talbot, and alleges that the laws governing Territorial elections were not adhered to in the North Pres. | colt precinct, inasmuch as the Board of Supervisors failed to designate the building in which the polls would be open.
 Last night rumors were aAoat to the effect that every defeated Democratic candidate would file similar suit, con. testing the North Prescott precinct vote but this was denied to a Journal Miner | representative by two of the defeated candidates, one of whom, A. A. Johns declared he would not accept the of. fee were it awarded to him by such procedure. as he felt that 1t was not the will of the majority of the people that he should occupy the office. According to lawyers interviewed, to. day is the time limit for the filing of election contests, and it is within the range of possibilities that other suits may be filed before night. Keohane Files Suit. Prescott precinct, North, appears to he the favorite precinct upon which to base contests by candidates defeated ai the last election, contest for a re- count being added last evening to the other two contests already filed in the District Court, F. ].
