WANTS JUDGMENT SECURED

Suit was filed in superior court yes terday b,' A. Baldwin X Go. of New Orleans against the Honduras Devel- opment company with it's principal offices d Tucson to secure judgment for several claims aggregating several thousand dollars judgment for a part of which had been given at trial of the case some two months ago. The defendant company was formed for the purpose of engaging in the raising of banaras and it seems to have gone into the business in good faith unlike most of the banana and rubber com panies whose stock is offered for sale. It is stated that the company has about 300 hecteras of land under culti- vation in the department of Atlantida, Hondura :. It had undertaken to build a railroa ] ten miles in length and had altogether expended not less than
 l50,000 But it had reached the end of its means and it's business has been turned over to the United Fruit com pany. The court is asked to take charge of the business.
