(From Fridays DeMw.l

J. F. Vanderpool was yesterday evening awarded damages in the sum Of 5000 against the United Verde Copper Company. the jury having given the plaintiff this amount instead of the S35, 5,000 which he had asked for. The complaint alleged that the piair- tiff had received bad injury to his hand while unloading a large piece of shafting several months ago.

The de- fendant copper company had offered to pay the plaintiff S3.OO0 cash and to give him new job at better wages, but upon advice of his attor- ney, Vanderpool refused to accept such settlement. The jury was out but a short time while considering the case.

 The Flagstaff Affair
 The Northern Arizona Normal School fight is only another demon- stration of the fact that Hunt is true to his friends. He had evidently promised Dr. Blome's job and he de- liycred it. That he will stick by his man, all who know him well, believe certain. Hunts idea is to be just as much a contrast to Tom Campbell as possible Campbell left the educa- tional institutions of tue State alone appointing the highest type of citi- zens to their boards and refusing to make a single recommendation for ap- pointmentS at educational institu- tionS. Hunt started in on the Uni, verSity and failing there for the time being because of the obstinacy of the hold-over regents, transferred his ac- tivitics temporarily to the Northern Arizona Normal. School, where he succeeded in throwing the bars down to the politicians and delivering the goods
 In Favor With I. w. w.

Hunt and Moeur

Hunt would not feel in danger with Mo,ur in the governors chair but the horde of office holders at the capito. who owe their jobs to Hunt and who have been successful in getting him into the fight time after time. see no good in the land commissioner. They are afraid of their own skins. Moeur is too independent He will not sub init to the discipline of the machine
 He poses as an amateur in politics when in fact he rivals Hunt as a man.
