CREDITOR SEEKS FORE
CLOSURE OF MORTGAGE
(E-o,,, Er;Jax-'c Daiiyl

Suit to foreclose a mortgage on
mining property owned by John A.
Twiggs and Gertrude A. Twiggs, is
brought in the superior court by
Frank Fenton, one of number OF
creditors who have been scrambling
for the payment OF their accounts
since the disappearance of Twiggs
about two months ago.
The note for which the mortgage
was given as security is for $500
and was signed jointly by Twiggs
and his wife. The original date was
May II. 1910. Interest was paid
upon the face value of the note at
one per cent rate a month, but
no payment has ever been made
upon the principal. Fenton is a
miner.
The receipt of d letter from
Twiggs by his wife that he had
gone for good, was the signal not
only for the distraction of his faith
full life partner, but an onrush by
creditors. Twiggs left the mine with
a carload OF ore for Fl Paso, pre-
sumably to be smelted. The letter
from FL Paso told all his friends
here that he was gone for good.
Later he was seen at Washington,
D. C., but before any move could
be made he had again disappeared.
The complaint seeks the collection
OF the principal of the note, together
with interest from May y. 1913,
until paid as well as ten per cent
counsel fees for collection of the
note. Suit was filed through O'Sul
Ivan and Morgan.

One of the most dastardly al
tempts ever made to destroy the
lives of human beings occurred near
Gallup, N. NJ, on Wednesday night
at about II o'clock when No. 10
Overland, east bound, was thrown
into the ditch by train wreckers.
kilograms received yesterday fore
noon in this city gave meagre ad-
vices of the iendish deed, and later
arrivals from the main line confirmed
the attempt made at human de-
struction.
This train left Ash Fork at 5:35
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and
when it had reached a point in the
Gallup yards about four miles from
the city, running at speed of IS
miles per hour, every car of the ten
plunged down the embankment, in
juring all passengers, but fortunately
none being seriously hurt or killed
The number of passengers aboard
was not learned, but every coach
had about one-third of its COM
plement, it is stated.
Yesterday morning at an early
hour an investigation was made of
the point where the cars were a
mass of wreckage, including the en-
CINE and tender Instantly it was
realized that the work was done by
enemies of the road. The spikes
holding one of the rails had been

from its original position. The tools

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
BUNGO GANG FOUND
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

" DdlCsC
Investigation yesterday revealed
the fact that the activities of the
bunco check passer now under ar
rest were not confined to this city
alone. Immediately after the arrest
made here by Deputy Sheriff Joe
Young word was received from
Humboldt to the effect that the same
man had succeeded in passing a
SIS check upon a saloonkeeper OF
that place.
So slick was the man in his
dealings locally that the officials are
inclined to believe that he left in his
wake a trail OF bad checks and
victims and that he is a professional
at the game. His skill at working
the buneo gag" with the assistance
of smooth tongue, however, could
not control his desire for drink
and this finally led to his undoing
here in Prescott.
After passing the so and S45
checks upon two local saloonkeep-
ers, the bunco man was picked up
by Deputy Sheriff Young. When
questioned yesterday he said that he
remembered nothing and that he
was innocent of any crime. Yes
terday he said that his name was

home to Wilbur F. Davis and wife
in a Los Angeles court. where
the woman is asking for legal as
sistance in a failure-to-provide suit
Davis until about eight months
ago was a resident of this county,
following the vocation of a barber
at different mining camps adjacent.
Mrs. Davis told her story to the
judge, saying that while coming
into Los Angeles on the train she
dropped her handkerchief, where
upon Davis in a gallant manner
picked it up and courteously re-
turned it to the owner, at the same
time asking if he could call on her
at home. The fair one nodded her
assent.
Later Davis was on street talk
ing with friend as the fair one
passed along, when she smiled at
him. He smiled back and then they
got better acquainted. A few days
later they were married on Janu-
airy 10, 1914.
Judge Monroe took peep at the
couple from the bench and said |
IF your wife's story is true, Davis, !
the next time woman drops her
handkerchief and you pick it up,
let it go at that. If your wife's
story is true, the next time a wom-

has rendered his resignation to that
city official to take effect tomorrow

In his annual message read Mon
day night before the councilmen,
the mayor laid special stress upon
the water problem, maintaining that
the expense account was entirely
too large. He suggested that the

duced with the discontinuance of the
water superintendent office and the
creating of a foremanship at the
water works.
However, no action was taken
by the Council Mr.. Hall was, how
ever. present at the meeting and

Council will determine whether or
not to act favorably upon the may
or's suggestion that the superin-
tendent's Office be discontinued and
