SUES COMPANY
 FOR LARGE SUM

A late issue Of the Cordoya Daily Times says.
 An echo Of am explosion occurring in thc Bonanza copper mine at Ken necott in January. 1915, was heard in che states thc other day when Matt Matsor. who was employed in the mine at the time, filed suit for S75.OOO for personal injuries alleged Co have been received The Kcnne- colt Copper Corporation, owner of large mining interests. is named as defendant.
 Matson alleges that the mining company was using frozen and de- tcriorated dynamite and defective fuse and caps in lts workings, which resulted in a charge missing fire. When he drilled into it later, not knowing that it had failed to ex- plodo. the dynamite was set off. causing him to become totally blind.
 The plaintiff alleges further that after the explosion the Konnccott Mines Company. which owned the mines. made a pretended dissolution. while it owned several million dol- lars of assets, and that this dissolu- ton was fraudulent and made for the purpose of escaping the payment of debts and obligations, including the obligation incurred to himself by reason of the explosion The com pany. he asserts. fraudulontly trans ferrcd an its holdings to the Kenne- Cott Copper Corporation without any consideration.

iOEACONS MUST
| COMM IND RESPECT

"A Good Deacon" was the theme
from which Rev. Carter Ashton Jen-
kehS spoke yesterday morning in Cav
airy BAPTIST church, when three lea
cons were ordained. He said in part:
Ihis office grew out of the poverty
OF the Roman empire. Palestine was
the poorest of the provinces. She
was exhausted by frequent wars and
escessive taxes paid to foreign powers.
The cause of Christianity had taken
mold mainly on the poorer classes.
The number of disciples was growing
steadily. When they embraced Chris
tianity they lost caste among their
fellows. They were prosecuted boy
cotted ana despised. They were in
a measure dependent upon common
charity. Those that had money or
property laid IL at the apostles feet
to be divided as each had need No
doubt some of the money was used
by the apostles to support the daily
table spread for the poor. Then there
arose mumuring The Grecian Jews
who were the foreigners and prose-
lytes declared that the Hebrews or
native Jews were shown partially in
these daily ministra tions. The in
FAINT church was about to be divided.
The apostles were attending to this
business and il was 700 much for
