(From Thursdays Daily.l

AIicky Scanlon. one of the leading lights in Jerome Wobbly circles. who is now locked up in the county iail here on a federal charge of pos scssing explosives without having taken out a license therefor, yester- day filed suit in the Superior court against 2S defendants asking for S5,- GOO damages because he was chased out of Jerome on July 10, 1917, at the time the big bunch of alleged |. w. W. followers were given the gate. The list of defendants, which includes number of county and fed eral officers, several copper compan- ics, a railroad, a meat market, Q bank and bonding company, appear to have been about all of the business firms and individuals Micky could think Of, and just how he expects to connect some of them up with the deportation is rather difficult to sec at the present time.
 The defendants are the following named:
 United Verde Copper Company, United Verde Extension Copper Min ing Company, Jerome Verde Mining Company, Gadsden (. & A. Mining Company, Del Monte Mining Com pany. Verde Combination Mining Company. Jerome Copper Company, Copper Chief Mining Company, Hay den Development Company, Green Monster Mining Company. Calumet & Jerome Mining Company, T. F. Miller Company, The Bank of Ari- zona. Jerome Meat Company, James Cain, Robert F. Tally, George King don. Tom Smart, Dave Morgan, Har- " Carlson, Red Smith, John B. Nc Guire, John II. Robinson. Ed Block, Charles Schull, United Verde & Pa cific Railway Company. Joseph F. Young and the Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland
 Aicky is conducting the case all by himself He refused to hire a lawyer. except for the purpose of drawing mp and typing the complaint, prefcrring not to "cut in" with any of the attorneys J. E. Russell drew up the complaint against the big bunch of defendants and there his re- sponsibility ended so far as Mir. Scan- lon was concerned. MIcky is going it alone. or as the legal lights put it. is appearing "in propria persona" " The plaintiff, who for many years has been more or less ardent sup porter of the elements opposed tc the mine operators. was one ot the first men to be bounced upon when Jerome cleaned house last summer He was in the bunch Of men which was whooped over into California the bunch later being whooped back into the Baby State after delega- ton of Native Sons had met the special freight train carrying the so- called undesirables at Needles. and gave them a very warm invitation to get out oi California and also to keer out As the invitations were backed up with flock of sawed-off shot guns and Winchesters, the Wobblies did not stop long in the Golden State, but hurridly crossed the sil- very Colorado and inflicted themsel- yes on the somnolent village Of King man.
 NIicky makes a kick in his com plaint that not only were the men given the hobo's rush out of the Yav apai copper camp, but that they were compelled to travel in cattle cars which was no nice way to treat Wob- plies. take it from Micky. And not only that, says the complaint, but the boys were put off the cars at Kingman, another fact which makes Micky wrathy every time he thinks about it. So all in all. the complain ant is of the opinion that his charac- ter and good name and sending in the community have been damaged to the extent of S75,000, and he wants a judgment to cover the amount How much the court will award him from each Of the defendants Micky is not worrying about. as he has in cluded :.bout every plutocratic cop per company and predatory" Jerome business firm and banking house in the list of those from whom he hopes to collect punitive damages.
