 DOLLAR BOND
HUGE SUPERSEDEAS SE- CURITY IS PUT UP BY HULL COPPER CO. TO STAY COURT ORDER AP- POINTING RECEIVER.
(From Saturdays Dailvl

Attorneys AnuerSOn & ElllS, rep resenting the Hull Copper Company and the Clark interests, yesterday
 filed a million dollar supersedeas bond in the Superior court, the bond being one of the largest of its sort ever filed in the State and having the effect of staying the courts order turning the property of the defendant corporation over into the hands of the recently-appointcd receiver. The big bond was signed by w. A. and
 Charles Clark, as principals in tho case and by the following Prescott people as sureties: F. w. Wells, M. B. Hazcltinc, Mrs. Hugo Richards, J. l. Gardner, Henry BTinkmcyer, Walter Miller, Jerry w. Sullivan, C. \. Peter and O. A. Hesla.
 The receiver for the Hull Copper Company was named several weeks ago by Judge Lyman of the Maricopa Superior court, who held a special session Tn Prescott to consider the case. \ number of the minority stockholders, represented in the suit by William Kemp of Boston, are en- dcavoring to secure possession of large block of the coInpany's stock held at present by Charles Clark of the United Verde Copper Company, the suit alleging that Clark had sc- cured possession of the shares after the late George N. Hull had secured them in a fraudulent manner. The courts order appointing K. H. Heth- crington of Prescott as receiver came after the plaintiffs had informed the court that they believed that Clark intended to take certain steps which would not be to the best interests of the stockholders, and asked the court for protection. In naming the receiver, the court announced that if Clark and the interests which he rep resented would file bond of Sl l,000,- 900 to protect the minority share holders in event the contemplated moves of Clark were found not to be for the welfare Of the organization, the rcccivership order could be va cated until such time as the court had opportunity to look into the mer- its Of the whole proposition. The bond was accordingly filed and the rcceivership will be deferred, at least until the trial is finished.
 The attorneys representing the Hull and Clark interests state that they will be able to show 10 the sats- faction of the court that the neccs- sity for throwing the company's af- fairs into the hands of a receiver does ! not exist, and that the plans which 1. Mr. Clark has in mind regarding the l future of the Hull company. in which {. he holds a controlling interest, will 1 not work hardship on any of the i stockholders. August 26th is the date set for the resumption of the ] trial
