Does So,,,s Nemesis
Pursue Litigd,sts?

Is there some strange fate pur-
suing the principals involved In what
is known as the Dannenbrink case
the action brought by Mrs. Sophia Nc
Coy. Of Tama county, against A. #.
Nuese and Charles Nuese-a litigation
which in all Of it's phases has been in
the courts Of this and Tama county
for twelve years?
1t would seem that there might be.
Fred Dannenbrink, the aged man,
for whose property the lawsuit has
been waged, died a pauper. August
Nuese, who was sued for the money of
the estate, is dead. Today his son.
and executor. who has been submitted
for his father as defendant, was ar
rested early this morning by Sheriff
Edgar on charge Of insanity.
Those who know Nuese, who lives
near Pickering, say his mental condi-
ton has been caused by worry over
this lawsuit. He was present in court
at the recent and last trial Of the case,
which has been completed except for
arguments.
Nuese is a married man. about As
years Of age. He was adjudged insane
by the commissioners. and taken to In
dependence this afternoon.

Averred by Attorney For J. NJ. White

riously Affect Case.

The stake of $4,000 OF real money
posted by A. NJ. Friend in the hands o.
President H. ]. Howe, of the Fidelity
Savings Bank, as the purchase price
of freedom from criminal prosecutor
for his son Hardy, was in court this
forenoon when attorneys argued
motion, the ruling on which may ma
terially effect the future of the case
The arguments submitting the motion
to Judge Cummings made up the frs
presentation of this case in court. The
suit was the outcome OF but one OF the
sensational incidents growing out 81

The suit was one brought by A. NJ

Paid to Escape Prosecution.
Miss Hazel White was at that time
last summer, not Mrs. Hardy Friend
She had caused her present husband
arrest on criminal charge. This mad
led to young Friends indictment. He
was then out under $4,000 bond tc
await the action of the grand juhy.
Under an agreen ent that if Haze
White and Hardy Friend were married
and the prosecution of the criminal
case was dropped, young Friends faith
IT deposited with the bank president
the $4,000. The money was to be paid
to J. NJ. White if the marriage took
place and the indictment was quashed
Hazel and Hardy were married. This
automatically quashed the Indictment,
because she was the complaining and
chief witness. Then the elder Friend
repented Of his bargain and brought
suit to recover his money. Following
the commencement Of suit. H. ] Howe,
made application to the court for an
order directing the disbursement Of the
money-whether he should pay it to
White or Friend.
Alleged Compounded Felony.
To the petition of Friends attorney,
Bradford & Johnson, attorneys for j.
NJ. White, filed demurrer. In it they
averred that A. NJ. Friend had COM
pounded a felony by offering to pay the
money to protect his son, that such
payment was contrary to public policy.
1t was the argument for and against
this demurrer that We're submitted this
forenoon.The burden Of the argument
OF c. H. E. Boardman, attorney for A.
NJ. Friend, against the demurrer. was
that altho the law made it illegal for
White TO accept the money, the elder
Friend committed no crime under the
statute in putting up the money and
offering to pay It to save his son. This
argument was supported by a series of
supreme court decisions. 1t was argued
further that Friend was within his
rights at any time before the money
was paid over 70 repent and demand
his money back
Judge Cummings took the demurrer
under consideration without announc-
Ing any time when he would decide it.

THE BANNER
COUNTY
PAPER TELLS SOME IN
TEREsTING TRUTHS CONCERN
ING THE GARDEN SPOT OF
ARIZONA.

II The Five Points Herald, of Phoc-
nix, one of the best weekly publica-
tons in the state, has the following
TO say concerning Yuma county:
The Herald predicts that Yuma will
early become the banner county of
the state There has been wonderful
development in that section during
th2 past few years, and it has been
demonstrated that there is no section
under the shining sun that is more
attractive to the miner or the home
seeker. The climate is a very close
approach to the tropical, and about
the only thing that cannot be sue
cessfully grown in the rich and pro-
lific valleys of the Colorado are pine
apples and bananas, These fruits can
be produced in Yuma county, but not
in quantity or OF a quality that would
l.
Of the finest lemons, oranges and
grapefruit in the world. In a few
years she will rival Egypt in the pro-
duction of dates. Her fig growers
are now making enormous profits.
Her watermelons and cantaloupes are
equal to those grown in the famous
iOcky Ford section of Colorado. Her
peaches and pears are the envy Of the
FRUIT growing world. And now comes
the announcement that thousands OF
dollars are pouring into the section
TO be invested in olive culture.
And back of all this fertility of
soil are mountains of mineral-gold,
silver, copper, lead and zinc. The
Herald believes that Yuma county ha!
a sensational mining future. The de-
yelopment work so far done warrants
the prediction. There are hundreds
of fabulously rich claims in that Sec
ton to be located that have not as
yet felt the touch of the prospector's s
foot.
Yuma county is a veritable store
house of hidden wealth and when a
genuine start is made to reveal the
contents Of the treasure box, Yuma
will come into her own and will be
recognized as the banner county of
the state'

his molybdenum group of mining
claims, located near the Bill Williams
river, about Is miles from Swansea,

ing to the terms of the option the
parties have three months to erect
a l5-ton mill, and it is understood
active development work and mill con
struction will start at an early date.
About two hundred feet of develop
ment work has been done on the
property, and there is quite a ton

BIG STRIKE OF RARE MINERAL.

While strikes of rich mineral are
being reported from all sections of
tn country, the wonderful strike of
molybdenite ore in the .Leviathan
mines, in Copper Canyon, must not
be overlooked because it's impor-
tance is greater than most people
dream. Molybdenum is one of the
rare minerals that has been sought
for diligently all over the United
States for the past several years, and
with but little result, until the mines
of Wallapai mountains were explored

veins of Copper canyon and Deluge

These claims are in biotite granite,
the veins cutting the country for

HON. SELLS
in PARKER
COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AF-
FAIRS WILL MAKE PERSONAL
INVESTIGATION OF AFFAIRS OF
THIS RESERVATION.

Hon. Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian afftirs, arrived in Parker this,
(Friday) morning and while here will
make a personal Investigation of the
affairs of the Colorado River Indian
reservation.
Commissioner Sells, since leaving
Washington a couple of months ago.
has visited several Indian reser-
yations in the state, and it is said
that he is we'll pleased with the
conditions existing on most of the
reservations which he visited.
One of the first things that Mr.
Sells will investigate here will be the
disputed boundary which the New La
Paz Gold Mining company has been
contesting for the past three years
Accompanied by O. L. Grimsley, gen
eral manager, and DR.. G. A. Scroggs,
treasurer of the company, and Super
intendent O. L. Rabcock, the COM
missioner left this morning for the
southern end of the reservation.
The party went in Mr.. Grimsley's
car, and both the old and the new
boundaries will be inspected. 1t is
understood that the secretary of the
interior is Withholding his decision
regarding the contest Of the mining
company pending the personal inspec-
ton OF Commissioner Sells
1t is expected that a delegation of
Parker citizens will meet with the
commissioner ether tonight or Satur-
| day. Efforts will be made to show
the commissioner the advantages
which would accrue to the Indians
| by the opening to settlement and en-
try OF the surplus and unallotted
lands of the reservation.
Commissioner Sells is broad
gauge official, and as commissioner
of Indian affairs he has introduced
many reforms in the administration
of that office, all of which have re-
suited in much benefit to the Indians
He has been tireless worker in Sc
curing congressional appropriations
for the establishment of hospitals
and for better sanitary conditions
among the governments wards
1t seems to be the unanimous
opinion that Commissioner Sells is
doing more for the Indians of this
country than has ever before beel
accomplished
After a personal investigation OF
conditions here it is confidently be-
lieved that Mr.. Sells will readily
grasp the importance to the Indians
OF having the surplus lands of the
reservation settled up by energetic
white settlers, which will do more
toward educating the Indian how to
farm than any other known method.

Why Taxes are High.

Why Taxes are High.
According to the Phoenix papers
the regimental band of the national
guard will visit the exposition al
San Francisco. During the regular
session OF the legislature bill was
introduced making an appropriation
for the purpose of sending the band
to the exposition, but the Legislature
turned it down. AS the governor We
toed the national guard appropriation,
made during the first special session,
thus reviving the unlimited statutory
appropriation, the band can now
enjoy it's trip at the expense of the
taxpayers of the state. This is one
of the reasons why the tax rate is
increased over last year. On account
OF the governors veto of other items
in the appropriation bill, the state
taxpayers must pungle up over one
half million dollars more than under
the bill as originally passed by the
legislature.

SELECTION OF STATE LANDS.

Another list of selections of state
land was filed in the United States
land office late Tuesday afternoon,
by the land commission. It contains
an aggregate of $4,000 acres This
brings the total Of land selected by
the commission since July 1, to 1885,
900 acrse and the total amount filed
on to about 100000 acres There
still rmeains of the amount donated
by the general government in the en-
abling act, approximately 100000
acres to be selected
In addition to this there are sew
eral hundred thousand acres to be
selected in lieu of school lands set
tied on prior to survey and later
patented to the settlers. The addi-
tion OF section two and thirty-two
in each township, (which were added
by the enabling act, makes this acre
age much larger than it otherwise
would be.
In addition to the land actually Sc
lected at present there are several
hundred thousand acres more for
which surveys have been asked which
the state will have the preference
right to when surveyed, but it will be
several months and perhaps a year or
two before they will be surveyed an
the plats filed in the land office so
that the actual selections can be
made.
