SUE DE WOLF ID |. VOID A STOCK TRANSACTION
(From Sundays Daily)

Things began to move yesterday in the proposed rehabilitation of the Golden Dragon Mining company, when the new board of directors in stituted court action against William Prescott De Wolf, formerly a prom inent mining promoter of this sec ton, to recover nearly 100000 shares of stock issued to him in return for services, which it is alleged, he never performed.
 The complaint is signed by J. Gard ner Scott, the newly elected president of the corporation, and grew out of a resolution passed at the annual meeting the other day, declaring for action on this matter
 The complaint recites that at the first meeting of the directors of the company on May l6, 1916, it was re- solved to issue certain stock for serv- ices and moneys and names among other, De Wolf, whom, 1t is stated, the company gave 97,499 shares. It is further alleged that the defendant never directly or indirectly performed any services or advanced any moneys for the stock, and that the movement to give him the stock constituted a fraud on the corporation.
 Following the organization of the concern, the mine became inactive until last August. At that time, MT. Scott secured a contract or agree ment with majority of the stock holders, whereby he was empowered to sell stock on an option figure, the money to be used in part, at least, to finance the proposed reopening of the mine. After some time, during which some stock was sold, Scott and Leo Stephens became new members of the board of directors and officers of the company. The complaint goes on to say that no effort had been made to Straighten out the De Wolf matter. The defendant had ceased to reside here and had become a resident of the state of Nevada The new controll- ing interests allege they had no pre- vious knowledge of the De Wolf transaction and now, they deside to carry out the resolution of the board by securing the courts judgment that the issue to De Wolf was null and void and imperative.

 CUPID IN THE HANGAR
(From Fridays Daily.)

Returning yesterday from Dallas Texas, Harry Shumate agreeably sur prised his many friends in Prescott by being accompanied by a bride, who, formerly, was Miss Nellie Leach This nuptial episode is one of those pretty romanccs of the war, wherein the valiant groom was a student of aviation at Camp Dick, Texas, and in high soaring seemed to have kept his eye on the ground to be guided se- renely by her to whom he pledged his troth.
 So his last flight was to the altar, the event taking place last Sunday at Dallas, which is pronounced as one of the notable occasions of the sea- son, owing to the popularity of the bride in her home city, as we'll as her social prominence.
 MT. Shumate is a member of the Owl Drug & Candy Co.,, in Prescott, and is Of the younger generation of progressive and capable business men while personally he is widely and favorably known.
 His bride is gifted with many ac- complishments in addition to a vivaci- ous and fascinating personality, and comes to her new home under pleas ing auspices. MT. and Mrs. Shumate are to reside at BIO Congress avenue on the west side, where they will be at home to friends.

 The national tendency in aircraft development in Britain" said General Sykes, lis to allow individual enter prise to work out its own salvation in the main and no scheme of govern ment subsidies such as that in France has, so far, been adopted"
 But he pointed out that did not mean that the government will spend nothing to promote enterprise.
 with a view to stimulating the efforts of designers and manufactur- CTS of heavier -than-air craft and to guiding them toward the attainment of greater security and reliability" he continued, "an official competition has been instituted which is to be held next year. The prizes offered amount to &64,000. The rules of the competi- ton are framed to encourage those attributes which are required in the future.
 Prizes will be given first for the small type of airplane required for business, pleasure and sporting flying in the British Isles; secondly, for the large weight-carrying machine which experience suggests will be necessary to meet the conditions of trans-con- tinental traffic; and, thirdly, for type of Mamphibious flying boat which, in view of its power to alight on and rise from land or water, cannot fail to find many uses"
 The civil aviation department of the air ministry, he states is an en- tireiy "new departure" on the part of the government. Its purpose is to advise the aircraft industry and rend- CT it all assistance possible, to open international relations, to lay down internal and oversea air routes, to establish stations for landings and departures, to deal with all meteor ological matters, and to provide in formation on that subject as well as host of others connected with aerial navigation.

 Tom Fitch, famed as the Silver Tongued Orator of the Pacific is wrestling with hymeneal woes ill Los Angeles, not with that eloquence ill beautiful word pictures, but IS offer ing the sordid facts of his wife turn ng him down and out.
 MT. Fitch made Prescott his home for many years, and it was i'll this city where he married Miss Rena Oowd, the defendant in the divorce lction which he instituted. The press account of this domestic bustup is quite sensational, in which the plain tiff alleges many things, some oi which are as follows:
 Fitch states he is 82 years of age that his wife has deserted him, and he asks for divorce on that ground He also sets forth that he is old and feeble, without means of support while his wife has $I52 monthly in come, $20,O00 worth of real estate, and S5000 worth of jewelry. Mrs. Fitch was before Judge Grail on the matter of an order issued restraining her from selling certain properey. Mrs Fitch also has come back" on the allegations stipulated by her husband in his complaint, stating that her hus- band not only deserted her, but has failed to provide for her to the small est amount to maintain body and soul. There are many in Prescott who will remember the couple, and when the fireworks" begin the case will be watched with keen interest.

WHEREIN JUDGE TAXES POWER
 OF SPEECH
(From Saturdays Daily)


 q pronounce you man and wife. "
 But with that done, Justice of the Peace McLane's powers failed him yesterday. He had gone his limit of pronunciation.
 But for the carefully spelled out certificate, the judge would have felt the same helplessness about spelling. As it was, he underwent some ortho- graphic torture before he had com pleted the transaction whereby Miss Anna Knatich became the bride of Matt Cvilkovich, in the bridal cham Der" of the Brinkmeyer hotel yester- day afternoon.
 MT. and Mrs. Cvilkovich came from part of the country where the speech is soft, but the spelling terri ble, just terrible. As matter of honest fact, and not casting any dis paraging allusions at the groom, it is believed Miss Kmatich didn't do her self any favors in the line of nomen- clature when she married him. That didn't detract from the beams that beamed from her beaming face as the judge uttered the fateful words. That's the only way I CAN pro- nounce you" he muttered at the con- clusion of the ceremony.
 When he came to ask each if the other would be satisfactory as a life partner, he quoted the impressive words right as they come from the book, and where the book left blanks for the names, the officiating justice nonchalantly did the same.

OAK CREEK GOT HARD
 JOLT BY THE FLOODS
(From Thursdays Daily0


 Miss Hilda Muender, teaching the public school at Cornville, writes an interesting letter in which her theme was the big floods to pass down Oak creek short time ago, and the havoc that threatened many homes in being washed away. Among the incidents mentioned was that thrilling experi- ence of Messrs. Pitchour and Gird- ner, who were caught on the opposite side Of the stream to their homes, where they were held up for three days and unable to cross.
 It is said they were kept supplied with food tossed over to their side, an dthat they slept at night under saddle blankets, although these fea- lures were not specifically mentioned ill the letter. These farmers at tempted to go to the head of the creek to cross, but were baffed.
 Another lively happening was the tearing down of the home of Mir Hurst, as it was in the path of the big overflow that was melting away the formation, but it was saved, and will be rebuilt above the high-water mark of the flood. Many acres of valuable farming land along the creek were mopped up, some being improv- ed. All creek crossings are gone and the damage done will aggregate many thousands of dollars. There never had been known such a vast amount of water to pass down that stream.

BRIBERY SCANDAL GETS
 HIGHUP IN JAPAN

KIOTO, Japan, Dec. ll.-Charges of torture of accused persons who figure in a pending bribery scandal which involves, among others, Jus hiro Kiuchi, the former governor of Kioto prefecture, have evoked much criticism throughout the country. The case centers around the charge that Mir. Kiuchi bribed members of the prefectural council in order to carry out certain administration projects.
 Although the court report says Kiuchi admitted bribery, he later de- nied this.
 Kiuchi testified that the public pro- secutor would not listen to a truthful statement of the facts of the case, and extorted false testimony from him under threats. Other accused per sons, who were formerly high off cials of the Kioto prefectural govern ment, have deposed to the same effect.
 Another defendant declared that he was examined by public prosecutor day and night for nine months and that he was placed many times in pig box" because he refused to make the statements the prosecutor de- manded. The pig box" is small disciplinary contrivance which is just large enough to contain a human per son, sitting down. The accused said: "I became very i'll, but was examined regardless of my condition. This was nothing more than torture Finally, as they threatened to keep me in the box until I confessed I said I had accepted a bribe, which is not true"
