SUIT FILED
In Mason Circuit Court Saturday by
Tobacco Grower Against
SpeculatOr.

A suit evolving out Of contract for
the sale Of some tobacco was filed In
the Mason Circuit Court Saturday by
Robert Starrett, the grower, against
Charles II. Farrow, speculator.
In his petition the plaintiff states
thato nNovember 22, 1917, he sold
to the defendant, Charles Il. Farrow,
his entire crop OF tobacco consisting
of about four thousand pounds to be
delivered In good winter order at a
local tobacco warehouse for twenty
five dollars straight per hundred
pounds He further states that at the
time of the execution of the contract
and to bind same, the defendant paid
on the crop as an advance on the pur-
chase price, the sum of fifty dollars,
which fifty dollars so advanced as a
part of the payment, as the plaintiff
has been informed has been attached
in the hands of the warehouse COM
pany by Farrow seeking to repudiate
his contract.
The plaintiff says that the first two
loads were accented by Farrow in ac-
cordance with the terms of the con-
tract but that he refused to accent the
third and last load and he was obliged
to sell it over the floor to the highest
and best bidder, the tobacco bringing
a net sum of $13S.2O which sum being
credited by the $50 advanced payment
leaves a balance of $500.
The plaintiff asks Judgment against
Farrow in the sum of $500 and for
all costs and all general relief.

ROAD MUCH LIKE CORKSCREW
Railway in India Makes Complete
Double Loop on Its Way to the
Top of Mountain.

One Of the most interesting railroad
lines, the construction Of which meant
the solution of difficult engineering
problems, is the narrow-gauge railway
which winds it's way up the steep
slopes Of the Darjeeling range Of the
Himalayas to Darjeeling.
Darjeeling is a noted health resort
of the British rulers Of India and the
summer seat of the Bengal govern
ment. It is 7,400 feet above sea level.
It's delightful climate and the magnifi-
cent scenery surrounding 1t, including
a panorama Of the highest peaks Of
the Himalayas, make it one of the
most desirable places in India during
the hot season. One Of the remark
able features Of the mountain railway
is the Chimbatti loop, probably the
only example of it's kind in the world.
The tracks, rising at a steep grade,
make complete double loop to reach
the station on the mountain top.-Pop-

HIS POLITICS DRIED UP
Douglas Attorney Gives a Most
Unique Reason for Giving
Up Political Game.

Douglas attorney, whose visit
at Nogales has been noted in
these columns, once ran for of
flee in Santa Cruz county. He
relates that he has been urged
to take a hand in politics in Co
chise county, but has side
stepped it always. When urged
to give a reason for his ab-
stention, Mr.. Richardson in
forms the party quizzing him
that he "never ran for office
except when he was drunk
and now that Arizona has gone
dry his political aspirations
have dried up"
