"HUMAN NATURES FoULEST
BLOT"
My ear is pained

My ear is pained
Ny soul is sick with every days re-
port
OF wrong and outrage, with which
earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate
heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural
bond
OF brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch Of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coIored like his own: and having
power
To enforce the wrong, for such a
worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his law
fui prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and
destroys:
'Tis human natures broadcast, fouIest
blot.

UNIQUE CASE IS
SET FOR HEARING
IN CIRCUIT COURT
G. II. Wayne Sues Rock Island
Road for Burning of
Grain Elevator.
BLAMES ENGINE SPARKS
Judge ?. D. Ramsay Will Occupy
Bench During Coming Week
Expect Mandsnus Decision.

A unique case will be on trial in
circuit court next week before Judge
Frank ID. Ramsay, Morrison. who re-
lieves Judge r. W. Olmsted on the
circuit court bench here while the lat
ter goes TO Morrison.
The suit is the first on the trial cal
endar set for the week by Judge Ohm
sted this morning. The Rock Island
Railroad company is defendant and
c. II. Wayne. the complainant. asks
$4,000 damages for the destruction by
fire OF a grain elevator he owned in
Taylor Ridge.
According TO the declaration filed
two years ago when the suit was in
stituted on May II. 1912, the elevator
was burned to the ground with its con-
tents. Mr.. Wayne in his bill charged
that sparks from the furnace of a pass
ing locomotive originated the fire.
He claimed that the building was
situated 20 feet from the railroad
tracks. and charged the blaze was due
TO the negligence OF the railroad COM
pany.
Jackson. Hurst & Stafford. who rep
resent the railroad company in the
present suit against It, will take care

and Searle & Marshall, who are attor-
neys for Mrs. Sadie Bender. complain
ant in the present hearing. are retain
ed by Mr.. Wayne.
II is presumed that the present case
will be completed before court ad-
journs for the week and that the
Wayne suit be taken up Monday. Judge
Olmsted will spend two weeks in Nor
rison in hearing civil cases and on re-
turn here Will open up a branch cir
cult court so that two tribunals will
be in session here at the same time
Judge Ramsay will likely render
his decision next week in the manda-
mus proceedings against the city, in
stituted by Welch Brothers to force
the city TO show why a license was
not granted TO them to conduct the old
Buffalo saloon.

 CONCERNS CLOSE DOWN
Companies Decide They Will Not Be Dictated to by the Western

per producing affected. The district was turning out copper at the rate of 7,O00O00 pounds per month when the strike was ordered
 While there has been no violence, this is due to the fact that there has been no attempt on the part of the companies to operate their plants. From the moment the strike was called until the present time heavy union pickets have been maintained at the shafts, mills and smelters on the properties of the companies and no one allowed to enter upon the property without pass signed by the sheriff The plants were turned over to the sheriff's office for protection by the companies shortly after the strike commenced and the sheriff has been ale to mtaintain peace by as surance that no attempts would be made to operate. It is reported that the damage to the mines and works already is so great that it would take month or more to put the proper ties in operation. The Western Fed eration pickets have prevented the mine pumps from being operated and some of the mines are filling with water, necessitating the replacement of mine tracks and pumps and retim- bering before it would be safe to per init the men to work The damage to the mills and smelters has been great. All the plants were operat- ing when the strike was called, and it has been impossible to care fo- the equipment as in the case of an or dinary shutdown.
 The situation has all the appear ance of fight to the finish between the mining companies of Arizona and the Western Federation of Miners,
 Probably in no other place in the United States is it so impossible for company to operate while a strike is on. Legislation, charged to have been fostered by the Western Feder- ation of Miners prevents the com panies from guarding their own prop crty, and the county and State au- thorities are of the opinion that any attempt to operate would induce vio- fence.

TWO DIVORCES ARE
 GRANTED BY SMITH
(From Sundays OaIIy)

VI AOlAA NAAA0N1
 Two divorces were granted in the Superior court yesterday by Judge Smith, both being on grounds of de- sertion. Gertrude Twiggs was given decree against John A. Twiggs and her maiden name restored. She will now be known as Gertrude Sutton. Antonio Garcia was granted separa- ton from Felicitas Garcia
 In the Twiggs case the wife testi- fled that her husband had deserted her on December IS, 1913, after hay ing lived with her since 1906, the year they were married in Prescott. She also said that since the desertion he has failed to provide for her and that at present she does not know his whereabouts. M E. Sparkling and D. L. Booker testified as to the deser- ton of the husband, and to the good character of the woman. O'Sullivan and Morgan represented the plain tiff.
 With J. B. Armijo acting as inter preter Garcia testified that he was married at Tucson in December, 1903 and that his wife deserted him two years ago last June He was repre- sented by Attorney James Loy, while the defendant failed to make her ap- pearance or have lawyer present.
 After testifying that he had worked on the mining property of the Venc- zia gold mines and had received no pay Frank Dantes was awarded SPED by Judge Smith. The defen- dant company was not represented, while O'Sul1ivan and Morgan pre- sented the case for the plaintiff.
 What is expected to be the end of the noted theft case, in which the defendants, Belle Cartmell and w. F. Collier, were found not guilty, took place yesterday when with the agree ment of the prosecution and defense Judge Smith ordered that Sheriff Young return the desk to G. II. Bishop, the second hand man.
 In the estate of Rosario Rubio Blair, A. C. Burmister, the eXecutor, was ordered to pay the sum of S46402 to the State of Arizona as inheritance tax.
 The third and fourth annual ac- counts in the Sroor minors estate be- ing disapproved, the guardian was or dered to file a new full and complete report. Wadiah Sroor Luthfy is the guardian.

awaits assistance for development. A more fertile field for big returns could not be found.
 Mining is business and not gamble; a true, legitimate business. There is no other field where invest ment can be made with bigger and quicker returns. The man who con siders mining a gamble of any greater magnitude than any other business does it an injustice. As in every oth- CT business, the personnel of the man agement must be considered. To achieve success in any commercial enterprise, it is necessary to install systematic and practical ability The wealth is here beyond all dis pute, and it only awaits extraction by enterprises which have associated with themselves the necessary ele ments that make for success in any line of business.
 Another danger to be avoided 1; ovcr-capitalization. Because the re turns are large is no reason why great big obligation should be as sumed. A comparatively smal amount of money spent judiciousl1 will bring large returns. Again th' work to be done before profits accru' must not be under estimated.
 There is no cleaner business knowl than mining. It has no competition i.and it is unnecessary to resort to tn politics and scheming of many othe Mines of business whereby a neighbo may be put out of the business an his trade be gained. Mining produce
