ARIZONA CORPORATION
 A VEHICLE OF FRAUD
Allegations in a Suit Against the Des Moines Texas Land Go.

A rather sensational suit alleging wholesale fraud was filed in district court yesterday by Charles w. Bibb against the Des Moines- Texas Land company and it's officers and directors and other persons alleged to be CO., conspirators in a scheme to defraud the plaintiff and other stockholders of their stock in the company the president of which at the time of the alleged fraudulent transactions was one J. s. Brown. The suit is brought here because the defendant company is an Arizona corporation.
 It is stated that the company came into possession of contracts for some twenty-two sections of land in Texas. The land of the contracts had come to the company from the Prairie Cattle company through R. F.. Harold. These contracts constituted the assets of the company on which the stock was is- sued. The plaintiff who Is resident of Minnesota is the holder of sl0.00O worth of this stock
 He alleges that a conspiracy was formed for getting these contracts out of the possession of the company and that various sections of the land and in fact all of them were assigned by President Brown to different persons.
 The plaintiffs asks that these as signments an dtransfers be set aside
 Suit was begun by Mary A. and Frances Anderson against the un- known heirs of Augustus Whiting to quiet title to ten acres of land be- longing to the estate of Whiting to which the plaintiff fell heir

SMALL TEMPE GIRL.
Badly Injured Near Payson While On
 a Mountain Trip.

Roosevelt, July 9.--Hugh Larsen rode from Payson sixty miles from here in six hours last night to get a doctor for Pink Coles eight year old girl who fell out of a wagon. breaking her arm and cutting the scalp above the ear for about six inches so bad that the ear partly hung over with the cut scalp. It is feared that her skull may have sustained a fracture. Mrs. Cole and children had just finished the trip from Tempe where they live to Mir. Coles cattle ranch near Payson. where they had gone with the intention of spending the summer months and avoid the hot weather of the valley on account of their baby's health.

A FRIEND TO THE FARMER.

Say, 1t just makes one want to build a new house and fill it with nice things when yous go into Mas sic & Sons new place. They have a suit of furniture that cost $300 in the east. Then they have two dozen nice dressers to sell at. all the way from $500 to $2O.0O. Fine wash stands, nice iron beds; a fine lot of second hand linOleum. and they bought three 9x12 second hand rugs yesterday; just look like new, and 4 Wilton velvet rugs that cost SIP each. They sell them for 5000. They have some fine kitchen cabi- nets; save lots of work and time. They have nice second hand chairs and rockers. Then they have new rope edge springs and all cotton mattresses, new blankets and com forts. Then you should see the SC. 1Oc. 15c, 200 and 25c counter. Just like the city. Get an arm load for a dollar. Massie surely is the far mers' friend for they can get a wagon load there for so little money. Come in and get a drink of ice water and rest yourself. Massie will buy all your goods.

Taylor back his money and then went to George Patterson from whom he had bought the mare. Here the first obstacle in the uhraveling of the transaction was encountered. He was the first man who had an idea of the character of the title which went with the property. He had bought the mare of man of the name of Williams and he knew Williams had got her from the city corral where she had been regularly sold as an estray. He de- clined therefore to make good to Short the $40 which the latter had paid him. Patterson surmised that since they were getting pretty close to the end of the chair, Williams would decline to refund for it was pretty certain that the city authorities would not. Thus the loss rests for the present at least, on Short
 Williams who obtained the mare from the corral is a neighbor of Logue in whose hands she was discovered by Hauxhurst and Patterson who acquir- ed her from Williams is a neighbor of Hauxhurst and had been employed by the latter some months before to as sist in the search for her. But that had been so long before that when the animal was offered to him for sale he had forgotten the distinctive marks of the horse he had been hunting for
 About the time Hauxhurst recovered the mare he was getting ready to leave for the coast and he turned her over to Short during his absence SD that he now holds her as bailee 80 to speak .fG
 There is said to be no i'll feeling among any of the parties to this va ried transaction. In fact all of them are satisfied except Short who regards himself as a victim of circumstances rather than of the sharp practice of his fellow man. At the time he is dis posed to find out where the loss should really lie. It is probable that the mat

ter will finally be settled by lawsuit in the course of which the chain of title running back to the city corral win be thoroughly investigated.

Governments Attorneys Will Again Go
After That Big Fine.

Chicago. July S.-President Roosevelt's
statement the Standard Oil decision
had the effect of a galvanic battery on
the governments legal forces in Chicago.
District Attorney Sims and his assistants
are straining every nerve to regain the
500. 100000 fine which slipped through their
fingers in the decision of the court of
appeals.
The government prosecutor realizes
that to go to trial again would. even in
the event of conviction, mean a much
smaller fine. He therefore bases his hope
on the theory of Attorney General Bona
parte that the issues may be presented
at the United States supreme court
through application for writ of certio-
rari.
The course Of action as now mapped
out by the government is understood to
include an application by the attorney
general for a writ of certiorari and a
petition for a rehearing before the United
States court of appeals.
Mr.. Sims and his aids, James H. Will
kerson and Harry A. Parkin. have been
in Geographic communication this sub
ject with Mr.. Bonaparte- The local de-
partment of the bureau of justice prob
ably will devote it's attention to the ap
plication for a rehearing. while Frank B.
Kellogg who will be called into the case
at the suggestion Of President Roosevelt,
will, it is understood, prepare the action
that is to be presented to the supreme
court.

Grain Board Makes a New Ruling
About Wheat.

At a meeting of the Kansas grain
grading commission held Friday after
noon at the office of Governor Hoch, it
was decided that rule l of the board,
relating to the presence of rye in No.
1 and No. wheat should be frightened
up" The rule was amended to read
as follows:
Wheat (any portion of which, has
been subject to securing or to some
process equivalent thereto, or contain
ing (more than u of 1 per cent of rye),
shall not be graded higher than No.
g." 1889
The portions enclosed in parentheses
are the new portions of the rule. f1ith-
erto the rule has simply provided that
secured wheat shall not contain any
considerable quantity of rye
A delegation of millers came before
the board and asked that the rule be
made so that rye should be absolutely
excluded from No. 1 and No wheat
The board decided that this was too
drastic a rule. and compromised by
making the existing rule more string
ent.
This was the only change made in
any of the existing grain grades.
Z. J. Smiley, secretary of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association. appeared be-
fore the commission, and asked that
a new classification, to be known as
yellow berry" wheat be adopted. This
proposed classification would divide
L
Turkey wheat, and make only the red
Turkey wheat eligible to a first or sec
ond grade. The commission refused to
put in the yellow berry" classical
ton.
About three-fourths of the wheat
raised in Kansas" said John T. White
of Ada, chairman of the commission.
sis yellow berry wheat. If we had put
in this classification, it would have
limited very materially the No. 1 and
No. supply from Kansas, and would
have made it comparatively easy to
corner the red wheat. Besides. the yell
low and the red wheat shade into each
other so that it would have been i'm
possible to draw the dividing line clear
ly. Such a rule would have been very
disastrous to Kansas wheat raisers,
and would have resulted in great con-
fusion in the markets"
John Radford, state grain inspector.
attended the meeting. He said: THE
new rule of the board regarding the
presence of rye is in line with the pol
icy of the board to eliminate as far as
possible the improper use of securing,
| to make bad wheat appear better than
| it really is. Mixing and securing is
| to certain extent a lawful and legiti-
mate proceeding, but carried to ex-
| trene it is like counterfeiting. The
| board is gradually working toward an
elimination of such practices"
