800 Autos Used
 In Big Rush to
 New Reservation

Parker, Ariz.-More than 800 au-
 tomobiles were used by mining pros
 pectors in the grand rush for min-
 eral claims, situated upon the several
 Indian reservations which were re-
 gently opened to prospecting and
 mining development. One of the
 most daring and picturesque races
 was that which made Parker it's
 starting point at the stipulated hour on the opening day. The contestants filled 19 automobiles and their goal was the gold placer beds of La Paz gulch, 32 miles from here. The first car to reach the scene was that of Joseph Lamoreaux. He covered the rocky trail in one hour and 15 min utes and was able to get the choic- est location. At point near Selig- man, Ariz., 40 automobiles lined up and made the getaway for the Wal Iapai reservation at the appointed hour. c. H. Cunning of Prescott and party of 10 associates led the race and filed on the famous Lagoon and National copper mines. Starts were made at various other points.
 The Lagoon holdings are said to be veritable mat of native copper in blanket form in the heart of the Walapai reservation. That section had been invaded at various times by trespassers and highgraded. But the door was closed to the miners and until Nov. l, 1919.
 There is much interest taken as to who were the lucky locaters of the Barbara and Brazil silver mines in the Mescalero Indian reservation in New Mexico. Reports state both had rich ores. It is said that ore from the Barbara took a first prize at the St. Louis exposition in 1904. It is said number rushed to locate these mines when the reservation was was thrown open to prospectors OF Nov. 1.

 The latter is fat and placid, does everything that he is told to do, nev- CT upsets the programmes that are prepared for him and shocks no one.
 In making a comparison between the two the Star recalls some of the escapades of Nash-ud-din when he visited these shores.
 During his '73 visit, it says he de- manded to see prize fight. So, af- ter consultation with Lord Queens berry, glove fight was arranged for his delectation in Buckingham Palace stables. As usual the Shah was late, so the venue was changed to quiet spot in the corner of the palace gardens.
 On his way, the Shah dashed thru a room where deputation of bish- ops was waiting to see him to be- seech his august protection for the Christians in Persia. They followed him into the gardens and presently found themselves in a ring around two prize-fighters. The fight was stopped; the Shah waxed angry and the good Lord Shaftesbury of pious memory, who led the deputation, de- nounced the holding of "a prize fight in the Queens palace"
 But things were ultimately smooth ed over, though what the Shah said about the Christians in Persia re- quired strong gloss in the interpre- tation.

W0MAN IS AWARDED
 S30,0O0 IN ALIM0NY
 AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS
nacision Comes as Climax to a Sensational
 Case.

Bloomington, H., Dec. 3.-Follow- ;no litigation lasting 15 years, Mrs
 Hattie w. Spalding, formerly of Bloomington, has been awarded a judgment of $30,000 alimony in the courts of Kenosha, Wis, against her husband, Dr. John B. Spalding, now a surgeon of California and reputed to be wealthy. This is the largest alimony award on record in this court and is the climax to very sensd- tional case.
 The plaintiff is the daughter of the late w. R. White, known as the "gateman." He came to Blooming ton 20 years ago in reduced circun,- stances, bringing with him as his sole possession of consequence, the patent rights for farm gate which could be opened by persons approach ing in a vehicle and closed without leaving the seat.
 Enlisted Local Capital.
 White was able to enlist local cap- ital in his device and factory was opened here. He found greater prof it, however, in selling the rights to sell the gate, and veritable craze developed for territory. White soon sold all of the state of Illinois and then broadened to adjacent states un- til finally, the entire nation was plat ted. In few years, he amassed fortune and gave each of his five children large sums. One of these children was his daughter Hattie. She attracted the attention of the defendant in the recent suit, and he proposed marriage. In his decision awarding the plaintiff a judgment, Judge Ellsworth Belden referred to this union as follows:
 "The plaintiff, young, good look ing, of good and wealthy family, came to the notice of the defendant and his father. Through their ma- chinations and for mercenarv mo- tives, her marriage to the defendant was brought about. Financial inn portunities and mistreatment speed lily followed. The plaintiffs life has been ruined by the defendant. He should not be allowed to escape his obligations to her. It appears to the satisfaction of the court that, during their married life, the plaintiff was treated by the defendant with ex- treme cruelty, bv personal violence. by calling her vile names, by digni- ties, deceit and by general demeanor. calculated and intended to hurt and humiliate her and to render the mar riage state intolerable. affecting her health, and causing permanent suf- fering and disability.
 "The defendant owes his profes- sional education and start in life to the plaintiff Bv defendants insis- tence upon the plaintiff and throueh her solicitations. the lattnr's father furnished S1000O which was exoend- ed for the defendants professional education. eouipment and support Of himself and wife. and this was chary- ed against her share of her fathers estate.

FIFTY CRIMINAL
INDICTMENTS ON
COURT DOCKET

The criminal calendar of the Sum-
ter Superior court, which will be call
ed next Wednesday, was given out yes
terday. 1t contains fifty indictments,
constituting an amount of court bust
ness that it probably will be found
unable to complete by the end of the
week.
On the calendar for trial is an in
dictment against Herman S. Schneider
for assault and battery, growing out
of a personal encounter On the streets
of Americas last winter between him
and C. j. Clark, in which the latter's
leg was broken.
On the docket but not set for trial,
are the cases against Walter John
son, Charles K. Chapman, Jr., John
Ethridge and Henry Harp, all charg
ed with murder, in connection with the
Chapman-Johnson homicide case. 1t
is possible these cases will not come
to trial at this term, ds all of the ,e-
PENDANTS are at liberty on bond, al
though both the state and defense law
yers declare their attitude is
ready" Several other cases on the
docket have not been assigned, and
these will all be taken up for dispo-
sition this week. If the Chapman
Johnson cases are assigned, it is said
a special week will likely be set aside.
All the defendants in these untried
cases are now said to be in the coun-
ty, Walter Johnson, who has been with
the American forces in France, having
returned home few days ago

English War Pigeons
Being Domobilized

LONDON.-(C Correspondence of The
Associated Press. )-Demobil of
English war pigeons and men who
care for them in France has taken
place, with the exception of birds and
men selected for the Army of Occu-
patton About 10000 birds that had
served their country faithfully were
sold in France and Belgium and the
proceeds of sale divided among char
table institutions of those countries
and England in accordance with the
wish of the breeders who had donated
the pigeons to the British army.
Many a man owes his life to the
rapid flight of pigeon from broken
down seaplane. In the battle of Mes
sines 1900 pigeons were used to carry
messages, not a single one of which
went astray.
The German pigeon service was
very thorough. A Birmingham medal
maker initiated so perfectly message
container used by the enemy that it
was possible to send a number of
"dud' messages to German lofts with
their own captured birds.
