D|CKERSON WINS DAMAGE ECASEIN
 FEDERAL COURT
YOUTHFUL HUSBAND WHO SOUGHT HEART BALM FROM SELIGMAN RESI- DENT ON ALIENATION CHARGE LOSES OUT.
(From Thursdays Dailvl

The damage suit which Ray Arm strong had instituted against Frank Dickcrson of Seligman for the al legged alienation of Mrs. Armstrong's affections, resulted last night in a having brought in verdict in favor of Dickerson after being out only long enough to elect a foreman and cast the first ballot.
 Armstrong several months ago brought suit in the United States court. alleging in his comp-a;nt that Dickcrson had caused the plaintiff $ wife to leave him three days after the marriage ceremony was performed at Gallup, N M.. and asked for judg- ment of S50,0GO. It seems that Arm strong's wife, whose maiden name was Grace Patton, had been employed in Dickcrson's hotel at Seligman for some time before her marriage. She met Armstrong at that place and on August 18th, the young couple went to Gallup and were married. Three days later the girl returned to Sclig- man and announced her intentions of taking up her old position with Dick crson, alleging that her husband'S conduct had been such that she re- fused to live with him longer. Arm strong alleged that the girl had re- turned to Seligman at Dickcrson'S s solicitation, and also that the latter had sent her a ticket 10 come home on.
 The defendant admitted that he had sent the child-wife a ticket, but told the court that he had done so because the girl had wired him that she was in Gallup without funds and that she desired to return to her mother, who was also in the employ of the de- 1 fcndant. The defendant is one of the best known residents of the county, having lived in this part of the State for more than 2 years.
 Mcssrs. O'Sullivan and Morgan represented Mir Dickerson while At torneys F. \. Martin and ]. R. Me I'ic of Gallup looked after the plain tiff's end of the case.
 Bonelli Gets Damages The jury which had heard the cvi- dence in the action of George A. Bonclli ys. the Santa Fe railroad company in the '. s. court, yester- day afternoon returned a verdict awarding the plaintiff damages in the sum of S620 for cattle which were said to have been killed by faulty hand ling while they were being shipped over the lines of the defendant com pany
 Bonelli had asked for S24,000. all leeing in his complaint that cattle to this value had been SO badly injured that they had died, the company, ac- cording to the complaint, having bumped the cattle train into a string of tank cars at Cedar Glade. The trial lasted three days. Bonelli had shipped a large herd of cattle from Pinal county to his ranch near Chlor- idle A number of the cows died after they had been unloaded and Bonelli charged that they had died as a result of the Cedar Glade accident. The road introduced witnesses who stated that the cows had died principally be- cause of the fact that they were driven across the desert during hot weather without a sufficiency of water.
 The interests of the Santa Fe were looked after during this case by their attorney, Paul Burks of Los Angeles, Mir Burks being an old-timc resident of Prescott He was as sisted by Attorney Robert Brennan.
