CUPID WINNER OF
 FEDERAL COURT CASE
(From Thursdays Daily.1

Hon. William H. Sawtelle, United State District judge, unintentionally conferred life sentence" on Dick Harding when he dismissed the white slave charge against the latter in the Federal court yesterday morning Several hours later Harding and Marie Amand Poly. the girl whom he was alleged to have transported into Arizona from California for i'm moral purposes. took out marriage license. The ceremony was perform cd last night.
 Harding was indicted last week by the Federal grand jury on a white slavery charge. He entered a plea of not guilty when arraigned and re- tained attorneys to defend him. The trial was held yesterday morning. United States attorneys, for the pro secution, sought to prove that Hard i1g had taken the Poly girl from Needles to Oatman for immoral pur- poses. Testimony brought out show ed that Miss Poly had been living in Oatman previous to going to Needles and the prosecution was unable to prove its charge against Harding.
 After all of the testimony in the case had been given, attorneys for the defense asked for dismissal on the grounds that the prosecution had not proven its allegations. The court granted the motion and, in dismissing the charge against Harding. gave the latter some good advice. Harding took it.
 He walked from the court room q free man and met Marie Poly. They talked things over and soon decided what to do. A visit to the office oi the clerk of the Superior court fol- lowed.
 "Is this where we get marriage license?" asked Harding.
 Tt is.'' replied Deputy Clerk A. L. Jones. and producing huge volume of similar records, he filled in the blank spaces and handed Harding the license. Two dollars, please" he added.
 Look here" smiled Harding, "be- fore I pay you, you've got to tele- phone the justice of the peace and ar range for ceremony We want to be sure this thing goes through al, right
 Jones called up Justice McLanc but the latter was out of the city. His telephone number was given Harding and Miss Poly, however, but they dc cided to visit a minister. and left tin, room arm in arm. Harding gave his full name as James Merlin Harding and his age as 28 years. Miss Poly smilingly refused to give her age bu: stated that "she was old enough tc get married alright"

(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The second gold bullion cleanup of the Monica mine, or since w. w. Copp took over the property about two months ago, gave a S5,O0O pa. that was shipped few days ago to the mint at San Francisco. It repre- scented but partial mill run during the month.
 Mir. Copp was i1 the city yesterday an1 stated the April cleanup will reach to at least Sl2,O00 from present calculations. The mill is now running continuously for 24 hours, and ore development insures steady treatment for months to come. He said: The Monica is now shaped up on a basis of what regard as steady producer for months ahead, this statement be- ing based on the showing made from recent development. Ore extraction is heavy from the fifth, sixth and seventh levels, the paystreak being 36 inches wide and averages S10 10 the ton. Fuel troubles in freightils delayed milling, but good weather will avoid further Interruptions in this respect This is the second bar from the Monica since I assumed charge The proposition is an individual one, there is no stock on the market, and there will be none"
 MT. Copp assumed charge of the Monica owing to internal troubles of a former leasing company, and has practically rebuilt the mill, as well as opened up old zones in the mine, from which many years ago heav? production was given.

 Turning to Arndt and pointing his finger at the boy he said, The coun- sel for the prosecution has referred to Freese as a 'mutton-head.' Look at the defendant and tell me which of the two IS the biggest 'mutton-head.' In my opinion, they are both a couple of chumps. but this boy should not be sentenced to the gloom of a prison cell for his connection with the af- fair"
 Just as U. s. Attorney Flynn start ed his final argument for convic- ton, the lights in the court room went out and remained so for several minutes. Candles were procured but the court refused to allow the case to proceed without ample light.
