Tuesdays DAILY llmesett
The case of Maurice King was
tried this morning before Justice F.
M. Groome. The evidence was
such that Mr.. Groome thought best
to bind the defendant over to the
next term of district court.
The state had five witnesses on
the stand. Jerry Landsburg who
had seen part of the fight. Lands
burg said that King had called him
about one thirty the night of the
23rd of June.
Landsburg described the posi-
ton he found them in on the steps.
He said he called him in and King
telephoned the police. Landsbure
who was in his night clothes wen
up stairs to dress and when he
came down found them half q
block down the street fighting again
They all came back to the house
and he pumped water for Abel anc
then the police came. I
DR.. F. R. Hickey was the SECOND
witness for the state. He wa'
called to attend the defendant anC
dressed his injuries which consisted
of cut over the left eye, fractured
upper jaw, and broken nose. UpoI
being asked to state what woulC
have caused this he said it might b,
possible to inhict such injuries witt
a bare hand but he never heard o
it. Usually such wounds were re
ceiyed in railroad wrecks or unde
similar circumstances.
Mrs. Lee Arnold, the land lad,
was then on the stand as was Johl

against King, and said he wa

BASINS At THE PUMPING PLANT DRAINED

The water was drained out of the
west basin Tuesday night an the
pumping plant and the dirt is being
cleaned out today. The men on the
job will be kept quite busy for awhile
as there is about two foot of black
river mud over the bottom and about
a million crawdads are in it.
Last night the fish were discovered
to be in the basin, that had probably
been pumped in through the river.
A screen was put over the overflow
and the fishing was even easier than
the ordinary way Of watching the
bait go under. and for these fisher
man more successful. About thirty
fish weighing from one to four
pounds, making about sixty pounds In
all, came down to the screen and
made breakfast this morning for the
city force There were a good many
catfish, buffalo and bass, and also a
sun fish and carp. Commissioner
Johnson took the carp for his prize.
The discovery of so many crawdad:
led up to a conversation regarding
their merits as food. 1t surely would
be fine for the little Dagoes that
peddle the crawdads in the Kansas
City Markets.
A recipe for cooking them was
next in order, and it seems to get the
really truly crawdad flavor one must
have it par boiled and then fried
good and done.
The work on the basin will pro
baby be finished tonight and filled
tonight, then tomorrow the east
basin will receive a similar cleaning
out.

Officers Look For

Phoenix, Jan. 2S-The sheriff's of flee was asked yesterday to look for Anna Mentzer, a 17-year-old girl, and Clinton Nj. Dubois, 26 years old, who secured a license here Friday and have not been seen since.
 The girls mother, Mrs. Ragland made the request Although her moth, CT gave her age as 19, Mrs. Ragland says she is not yet of age and wants her back.
 The authorities are attempting to find minister who might have mar ried the couple in Phoenix. As returns to the probate judge are sometimes held up for several days or weeks, it is possible that they have been mar lied in this city and the news not yet leaked out In such case the officers can do nothing. However, if the couple have not been married, something can be done. it is thought that the couple were married and left for the coast

Big Print Shop

The United States Geological sur vey is one of the few government bu, reaus which does any appreciable amount of it's own printing. Most of the government work is done by the Government Printing office and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing The surveys engraving and printing division, however, engraves and prints all of it's own geologic and topographic maps, besides doing a large amount of contract work through a Government Printing Office for other government bureaus. During the last fiscal year the surveys contract and miscellane- ous printing of this kind amounted to nearly 2,O0O,OOO copies, requiring more than 4,5OO,OOO printings The total number of copies printed, including to- geographic maps and geologic folios. was 2,655,23O, requiring more than 8,000,000 impressions.

ReCeivership of
 Clara Consolidated

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 28-Paul R. In
 gles and w. M. Seabury, attorneys for
 the miners who have labor claims against the Clara Consolidated Min
 ing company, returned from Tucson yesterday, where argument was pre- scented to the judge in a second peti- tion for the appointment of a receiver for the company pending involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy. The case was taken under advisement.
 In November the miners assembled their claims and through the attorneys began proceedings in bankruptcy against the company, asking for the appointment of a receiver. The litiga- tion is in Tucson as the property in- volved is in northern Yuma county, Yuma being in the second judicia,, district and Tucson, the residence Of the court.
 The case was heard and on Decerl- her 16 the application for receiver was dismissed without prejudice, the court holding that the petitioners had not shown the urgent necessity of a receiver and the defendant company claiming that it was in a position to protec! aid care for the property.
 At the same time the court issued an order, authorizing the petitioners to examine the company's books and rec ords and interrogate the secretary and treasurer under oath. This was done on the third of January and based on discoveries made in that examination the petitioners have renewed their az plication for the appointment of a re- ceiver. They contend that the com pany has no funds and is not in a po- sition to protect the property which may deteriorate unless a receiver is appointed to care for it until such time as the bankruptcy proceedings are settled.
 MT. Ingles says the company now claims that the reorganization com mittee of directors has received $4,00O from the European stockholders for that purpose. In response he ayers that so much of it must be spent by this time that the amount is far too small to protect the property any length of time In further substantial tion of the demand for receiver MT Ingles says that on December l bonds to the amount of $52,OOO were issued to the Signal Commercial company to payment of an antecedent debt The miners believe no further transactions of that sort should be allowed until their claims are satisfied.
