suit was filed, F. O. Smith, the then Superior judge, disqualified himself, and Judge Lyman of Maricopa county was named as trial judge.
 Prepared For Legal Battle.
 The Clark interests at once began elaborate preparations to fight the case in the Yavapai court. Besides their local attorney, LeRoy Ander- son, they engaged the services of a number of lawyers, the list including Judge John Gray of Idaho, Thomas C. Job of Los Angeles, and Messrs. Haworth and Ling of Prescott. The Kemp interests were represented by an array of legal talent, Attorneys FL linwood & Ross and Clifford Mat thews of Bisbee and F. s. Clark, A. H. Favour and J. E. Russell of Pres colt, being included in the personnel.
 Tn May the plaintiffs filed peti- ton with Judge Lyman asking for the appointment of receiver for the Hull property pending the outcome Oi lHC HliSdIOii, anu bhS NCuit ioii ed R. A. Hetherington of Prescott to act in that capacity. The Clarks, however, objected to the installation of the receiver, and upon their put ting up a bond of S1,O00,000, the operation of the receivership order was stayed, and the million dollar bond remained effective until yester- day when it was dissolved. The act> nal trial of the case was to have be- gun here last Monday, but Judge Ly- man having been advised of the effort which was being made to compromise the matter, deferred his arrival in Prescott until he had received word that a stipulation satisfactory to both sides had been drawn up. Had the case been allowed to come to trial. 1t would have undoubtedly been one of the most complicated and long drawn out court actions ever started in the western states. and pending the ap- peals which would in all probability have been taken after the trial had closed in the local courts, the Hull property would have remained tied up for an indefinite period.
 In Long Litigation.
 The Hull group has unfortunately been in litigation for many years, and at no time since it was organized some g years ago by Mir. Hull has the company been able to operate or to put into effect any very extensive scheme of development. The group .adjoins the main property of the United Verde, ana. also in contagious to certain parts of the United Verde Extension ground. The town of ter ome is built partly on the Hull land.

The correspond cnt is mentioned simply as one John Doc. and the husband admits that he is not exactly certain as 10 the iden- titv of his wiic's alleged lover. but he does claim to have evidence to support his contention that his wife has not travelled in the straight and narrow path during the past three or four months.
 Mrs. Keaton went to Long Beach, California, to spend the summer, the complaint says John Doe. who had known the lady in Jerome. followed her there, and on or about August

POPULAR COUPLE IS
 JOINED IN WEDLOCK
(Fron Sundays DaiIvl

On Saturday shortly after the noon hour at St. Luke's Episcopal church in this city, Rev. Bloy, the tempor- ary rector, officiated at the wedding ceremony which united Frederick L. Bankston and Miss Helen Van Cart mell in wcdlock, the double ring cer- emony being used. The only wit nesses of the marriage were the brides mother, Mrs. Llewellyn Cart. mell. and the rector's wife.
 While the many local friends of the popular bride and groom had long suspected that the young people might be contemplating matrimony, the wedding yesterday was' some thing of d surprise to most of their acquaintances, and the newly-wcds were enabled to leave the city on a short honeymoon trip without being the victims of the usual dcmonstra- tions accorded those who venture into the realms of matrimony. MT. and Mrs. Bankston are spending a few days at the Grand Canyon and other points of interest in the north ern part of the State.
 The groom is engaged in the brok craze business in Prescott, and was until recently connected with the Coleman Brokerage Company. For nearly year. the bride has been the efficient chief deputy in the office of County Clerk Farley, and by reason of her official position, Mrs. Bank ston yesterday had the somewhat un- usual privilege of issuing herself her own marriage license, without hay ing to bother any of the other at taches of the office to procure the coveted document.
 MT. Bankston and his wife expect to make their home in Prescott, Mrs. BankSton to resume her place in Mir. Farley's office after a vacation of a few weeks.

RANGE ROMANCE
 HAS PRETTY CLIMAX
(From Sundays Oaily)

Anybody who knows Frank Kauf- man will admit that he Is quick in getting into or out of the saddle, and his rapid fire courtship and marriage last night will not be surprising to his many acquaintanccs. His bride IS Gencvieve Murphy, daughter of one of the best known mining operators of Mohaye county, and the nuptial event IS due to rather an exceptional circumstance.
 Miss Murphy came to the Kaufman rancho near Mayer to visit with Miss Ruby Kaufman, short time ago, when the ''horrid' brother became fascinated with his sisters winsome guest. The troth was plightcd and the Catholic church parsonage in this city was the scene of the tying of the knot that binds, quite number of friends and the mother of the groom being present
 The groom is a fine young fellow popularly known in Prescott particu- larly. He entered the range cattle business on a small scale a few years ago and has prospered through his industry and frugality. His bride was born in Phoenix, but in recent years has resided in Los Angeles. Her n~r- sonality is fascinating, her accomp- lishmcnts many.
 Mir. and Mrs Kaufman VII reside at the ranch of the groom, who IS in line for military drafting. He says he is willing to go over inc top as benedict, but not as bachelor. \ wedding supper last night ended one of the pretticst nuptial events of the season in this city.

?, the wife is alleged to have enter tained him at her temporary resi- dence in fashion which the husband says was highly indiscrcet. Not only was Mir. Doe entertained by the de- fendant at Long Beach, but he was also the guest of the lady. so her hus- band says at the family home in Jerome earlier in the summer.
 Mir. and Mrs. Keaton were married at Tempe in 1909. They have two children, son and daughter, and the father asks the court to award the custody of the children to his care, alleging that the mother is not a fit person to be entrusted with their keeping.
