]. Fl. Hughes, sales manager of
the Western Rock Island Plow Co.,
Omaha branch, testified in District

former best friend, R. E. Miller, for
merly assistant sales manager Of the
concern, demanded that he carry
out an oral agreement to give him
part of his, Hughes, salary after the
generous arrangement had lapsed

FARM AND STOCK DEAL CLOSED
 FOR BIG SUM
THE BATES INTERESTS IN NEW LAND, MOVEMENT NEAR POINT OF ROCKS IS TAKEN OVER BY CO., OWNERS.
lFrom Fridays naiIy.O

One of the largest land and cattle transaction to be closed up in this section in recent months, was that of yesterday. when MT. and Mrs. L. L. Bates disposed of their interests sit uated north of and near the Point of Rocks to William Wilkinson of Bethany. Illinois. The consideration given in the deed for the land, em- bracing approximately 1000 acres, was S6O,OOO, so far as revenue stamps would indicate, while the livestock deal price was not known for about 500 head of cattle.
 Other assets transferred were val uable water rights and damsites on Granite and Willow Creeks, the combined interests being unusually large and rated as being of attractive possibilities. This movement had it's inception over one year ago, when a company was formed in Illinois to purchase certain patented ground and begin an intensive system of farming on a dry principle, one of the principal. objects being to raise and fattcn range cattle in the acre age enclosed. MT. Bates had success fully demonstrated this feature of farming while acting as director of the State Experimental Farm near by, from which he retired to assume the management of the new under taking It is stated the early plans outlined are to be carried out, but under whose direction it was not learned. Identified with this big proposition are said to be quite a number of wealthy people of Illinois, and the above sale would indicate that energetic action has been decid- ed upon to begin the large land de- velopment at once.

PUTTING CRIMP INTO
 THE OILY CHECK ARTIST
(From Sundays Daily

Business men generally are com mending that measure introduced i'll the legislature a few days ago by which the wilfull drawing of checks on a bank without any funds being available to redeem the paper, is to be made a felony. The penalty also is to be unusually severe, the bill providing for a minimum fine Of $500 and long term in the peniten- tiary.
 This matter was suggested by State Bank Examiner F. E. Ross, who is in Prescott visiting with his wife and family, and was readily ac- quiesced in by many legislators as protection to business and a safety valve against a practice that las be- come notorious throughout the state. Mir. Ross stated yesterday in his of ficial observations from one end to the other in Arizona there has grown wide spread complaint over the un- scrupulous check methods practiced by many, and banking houses are complaining of the infamous proce- dure carried on without legal redress to those who are duped. It is prob able the pending bill will be enacted into law.

FIELD MAKES GOOD
 SHOWING
OWNERS AND LEASERS ARE PRODUCING AND SHIPPING NOW THE BIG CYST ORE TONNAGE IN YEARS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)s

An open winter is proving advan tageOus to mining in the Senator country, and reports brought yester- day fro different camps now run ming, would indicate a fine outlook.
 The Snoozer of the Phelps-Dodge corporation is beginning to make daily shipments to this city, two round trips a day being made by mo tor truck, and the accumulation has reached to five cars of a high-grade copper-gold content. This company also has set aside a leasing zone on the Senator holdings in which Wills 6, Gronlund have an output of over two cars ready for hauling, the main value being copper. Hoskins & Job are also working another section of this mine under lease, with two cars ready for shipping of a silver gold content.
 Nearby the Grubb Mining Co.,, un- der the direction of C. H. Hooker, has finished shipping, and develop ing is again under headway. In ex- tending the old tunnel a four-foot vein of. copper-gold ore of a high content has been opened and the good showing is occasioning general comment among miners.
 The Josephine, Tillie Starbuck and Davis are shaping up as producers, and as a whole the above mining field within a radius of one mile of MaXton has not had in many years such flattering outlook. Commun- ication is regularly established into the country, and trucks and teams are busy hauling in and out.

DOES IT PAY TO BE
 A GOOD SAMARITAN?
CFrcm Sundays Daily.)

Returning yesterday from Hol- brook. where he had recovered re- gently from influenza, Jack" Mar den. who is so well-known as a min ing and oil operator, has become further burdened physically with an acute attack of rheumatism, from the effects of which he is unable to walk except with the aid of crutches. This latter affliction developed as the aftermath of the flu, and his con dition is quite serious. MT. Warden during the flu epidemic in the north sacrificed his business to nurse many stricken, as well did he super wise burial of so many victims, in addition to providing remedies for those so unfortunate as to be with cut means.
 From first to last he mas been charitably inclined and his constancy has given him an excellent name in the Holbrook country. As the af- fliction is vanishing, he, also falls at last into the long list of those who have been stricken, and his misfor- tune is occasioning many friends to express their deep regret that fate should so have ordained.

IS ARRESTED AT
 CLARKDALE
(From Sundays Daily)


 Barney Savioni of Clarkdale, man. .ufacturer and well-known business man. regrets the untimely end of a supposedly well-paying institution, whose demise cannot be blamed on the war nor high cost of materials. Barnev's product was white moon- shine. according to the officers who contributed to the sudden termlna- ton of the business.
 This is among the first stills to be collected by the officers in this part of the country, since the ban was placed on intoxicants. It was taken in tow by Deputies Fred Hawkins and John Munds at Clarkdale yester- day. together with the owner and three gallons of the fiery liquid. The story of the pinch was brought to the city by County Attorney Neil Clark, who spent the day checking over the activities of the booze mer- chants over on the Verde.
 King of 'Em All
 Goldie Williams, alleged king of all the bootleggers and the toughest nut the officers of three Arizona counties and at least one California county have had to deal with, was brought to Prescott and released on bail last night. It was through the weakness of a pal, according to the official version, that Goldie was fin ally brought afoul of the law. It seemed that after having amassed a small fortune in the illicit trade, Will Hams had stored away goodly ranch and other property in Califor- nia, but an unfortunate mix-up with the officers of San Bernardino coun- tv had left him in poor shape finan- cially. It was to recoup his losses | that he had taken on one George Harrison. Harrison was arrested several days ago at Clarkdale, and had made a statement involving Will Hams. This was the first evidence secured against Williams. and when he showed up after bailing out his partner, he, too, was placed under arrest
 It is said among county peace of ficers of this state that never has there been such an elusive chap as Goldie. Time and again, he has out driven officers on his trail, and all though he has had his cars wheels shot to pieces under him, he has all ways made good his escape. No sort of trap yet devised has been able to gather him in.
 His preliminary hearing has been | fixed for tomorrow morning.
