Courts Called On To
Settle Queer Disputes

Phoenix. Ariz, June 26.-The
courts lately have been called upon
to adjust disputes rather out Of the
ordinary. For instance, Clifford G.
Davis has sued Roger W Stadlman
for $500 damages, for the loss Of an
auto and tools IN the destruction Of
the latter's garage at Mesa. in April
The fire is alleged to have been due
to the action OF Mrs. Stadlman in
ordering the flooding OF the garage
floor with IS gallons Of gasoline and
then directing scrubbing with wire
brooms. The gasoline caught fire
and exploded. IL is claimed.
At Douglas there was denial by
Aurelio Miranda Of the right OF a
woman to fire him from his job in a
suburban restaurant. after he had re-
turned 70 work from a visit across
the line. So he knocked the pro-
prietress down, it is alleged. to prove
mans superiority. He went to jail.

Chas. G. Haynes to run mis- restaurant
