 seventh inning. The MormOns then decided to retire, which was probably wise thing to do since they had failed to connect for seven long innings with Howard Smiths benders this Company K boy having them al his mercy at all times.
 After the little warm-up, the morning boys retired for brief res pite before taking on the biggest proposition they have yet run against in the way of a ball team, and incl dentally the boys wearing big "K'' spread over their chests, came through like good soldiers and played the best game of their career up to date, winning by the close margin of one lone score, the final count being 8 to T. The 157th regiment team were the nine to find themselves on the pee-wee end of the score in the after noon riot. When it is considered that a regiment has 1900 men from which to pick a nine, while company team must seek its pill-tossing talent among 25O men, then one can appre- ciate fully the class Company Ks ball tossers displayed when they humbled the "gold nugget" boys from Colorado.
 Howard Smith, the same lad who let the Utah nine down in a no-hit no-run game in the morning, started the circus for Company K, and when the dust had cleared after the first innings, Company K found it had spot ted their fellow men in arms six runs. At least four of the six scores were due to loose work and errors. When the shades of evening began to fall OCT the dropping forms of K company's heroes and Charley Hurley shot the ball to one lengthy "Brud" Shay for the third out of the first frame, a mighty tired youngste1 in the person of the same aforemen- toned Howard Smith heaved a sigh of relief. And let it be said in justice to Howard, he had sigh coming, for he had not only jumbled two mighty ball aggregations. in one day, but he did it so sweetly that when the final reckoning was made, it was found to the immense qualification of every dough boy" in, the 16Oth regiment that the strong-armed lad had suffer ed only two hits to be gathered off hi min Is innings. Fully 5000 people witnessed the game, civilians and soldiers alike.

 It wasA pointed out that the traffic on many roads in France with which the 23d will have to do will require more maintenance work in a month than would similar road in the Unit eed States in a year. The men of the 23d will work under conditions such as they never met before; conditions which will inspire their professional interest, their sporting interest and their patriotism.
 Colonel Johnston said:
 "For men under 40 with the proper road-building experience, the prospect for promotion to non-commissioned and special ranks is excellent. Prac- tically all construction men, who have the ability will be assigned, not as la bOrers, but as bosses of gangs, which will include German prisoners.

Juvenile Kingman took a week off this week and made merry while the teachers attended the institute at Phoenix. They romped and played, rode stray burros, made life miserable for cats and dogs and otherwise eel ebrated their vacation. The canine world will rejoice Monday morning when their tormentors will go back to their 'Three R's" and the usual grind.

by the witnesses of defendants it was shown that more than S1O,OOO worth of work had been done in the years 1915- 16 and F, and that mill costing $50,- 900 had been built on the ground. Even the surveyors of the defendants showed the milling plant to be upon the Great Canyon mine, while the sur vey of plaintiff showed the same con dition, but located the mill at another point on the claim.
 Three days were consumed in the trial of the cause and many witnesses were examined on both sides. The plaintiff had witnesses who were present at the location of the property 13 years ago, while the defendants had to rely on the unsupported evidence of one witness and the sUpposition of the defendants themselves. Among the witnesses who had long been familiar with the property and who testified in behalf of the plaintiff were Anson H. Smith, who made the location; J. w. Cornelius, who owned adjoining ground for several years after the Great Canyon claim was located and who knew every monument on it; l. c. Stricker and R. c. Jacobson. All these witnesses were on the ground prior to the advent of Boyle and Morse, from whom defendants are holding option on the Miller property, As an offset to the Great Canyon claim defendant set up the Miller claim, known as the Copper Bird ol Copper Prince. This claim was relo, cated by the defendant Lore, the first notice being dated July ', 1917, anc again by a man named Young, in tho
 employ of Lore, when the time for do ing title work had expired. This clain
 was so located that it extended int
 the Great Canyon claim and covered
 the ground on which the milling plan
 stood.
 In rendering his decision, Judge Fl lis took occasion to say that the Cop lper Prince or the Copper Bird clain
 was void, the owner, Miller, havinj
 failed to await the necessary 90 day
 between the time of the location of tn
 Copper Bird and that of the Coppe Prince, but did not rule on the mat
 ter of the relocation of the sam
 ground by the defendants.
 It was ordered that after five day writ of restitution issue and tha plaintiff be put in the possession o the mine and improvements, and it i ' probable that the writ will be issue
 next Monday.
 , Judge c. G. Krook was counsel fo plaintiff and E. W. Mattoon for de
 fendants. It is understood that an ap ? peal will be taken to the suprem
 court.
