MILL COSTS BIC ITEM IN SUIT

Questions of cost accountancy were much in evidence at yesterday 5 session of the Copper Queen suit against the Arizona Binghampton for the recovery of alleged damages of many thousands of dollars. Coun- sel on both sides quizzcd expert wit .nesses unmercifully to establish meth ods of mine and mill bookkeeping on which it is alleged the Stoddard Mill, a subsidiary of the Binghamp- ton overcharged the Queen.
 In the afternoon, an interesting controversy took place over the ac- counting methods of the mill, ill which, switnesses and attorneys delv- ed deeply into the matter of replace ments. The mill suffered a break down in the month of July, 1917 and the plaintiff set out to show that the cost of repairing and replacing brok- cn parts, was unduly distributed to the Copper Queen ore that was in process of being milled during that month.
 The case continued to drag along. Counsel for both sides are showing the effects of the strain, and are also making cndeavors to expedite tne trial

COCONINO LADY
 JUDGE TRIES FIRST CASE

FLAGSTAFF, April 15,-Sheriff J. o. Harrington and Assistant County Attorney George H.arben returned last night from Grand Canyon, where they went in connection with the trial of J. H. Weatherby, Santa Fe section foreman, charged with having fired at a Mexican section hand. wounding him slightly.
 The trial attracted much attention at the Canyon, as 1t was the first case to be tried before Justice of the Peace Helena Cotton, who is the first woman judge Coconino county has ever had. The trial took place in the school house, which was crowded with men, women and children, every available space of standing room be- ing taken.
 Although it was Judge Colton's first case" MT. Harben said this morning, "She handled it like vet eran jurist. She never for a moment became entangled in any complica- tions and was perfectly self-possessed throughout the trial"
 After hearing the evidence, which was to the effect that Weatherby fired in self-defense, after having been attacked with a shovel by the Mexican, Judge Cotton dismissed the case against Weathcrby. Dr. Melick of Williams testified that Wcatherby bore severe bruises between his shoulders, the marks of shovel or some such implement.
 MT. Harben represented the state in this case, and Weatherby was without counsel. It is said that all the residents of the Grand Canyon declared d holiday and attended the trial, as it was an unusual form of diversion. After rendering a verdict of mot guilty" Judge Cotton retain ed the .22 Calibre revolver used by Weatherby in firing the shot.
