 Statham uncorked wild pitch and Eberhard strolled home, Traynor moving over to third. Stew art walked and a double steal was started. Jonnard's throw was a snap peg to the pitcher. and Traynor was caught off third for the third out. The Barons, however. had grabbed off a three-run lead.

CONTEMPT CHARGE
 IN THE SMOKE CASE IS
 PRODED BY SWEENEY

Charges and countercharges Of propaganda were exchanged in su- perior court yesterday morning, in vestigated in chambers and finally laid aside upon resumption of. hear ings in the Biles-Wells case against the United Verde Extension. A pan oramic photograph, a shop window and a talkative clerk were designated by defense counsel as the media of what was termed possibly inten- tional attempt to harness sentiment in behalf of the plaintiff.
 Robert E. Morrison, for the plain tiff, denied intention by his side, to take undue advantage of the liberty of the jurors, who, being questioned, admitted they knew nothing of the photograph. It was taken in 1916, and purported to show a shelter belching forth great clouds of smoke upon the Verde valley. Continuing, MT. Morrison declared there was per sistent talk of the relatively greater importance of the mines and of the fact MT. Biles had bought him a farm in the valley knowing smoke conditions, and had assumed to col lect damages through the courts. He had paid about $7,5O0 for the ranch. His suit is for $2,500.
 Judge Sweeney heard considerable argument in open court, with the jury absent, and then adjourned with counsel and the Court attaches to the privacy of his chambers, where an investigation into the alleged con temptuous display of the photograph was held.

(From Thursdays DailYl,

Never was newly married couple given a warmer welcome to Jerome than was extended to Lieutenant Lewis Douglas and his bride upon their arrival Saturday evening, says last evenings Verde Copper News.

 The two parties met in front of the house and combined their efforts. At the same time the mine whistle started footing and some genius be- gan to fire off dynamite out in the open. For Is minutes pandemonium reigned.
 Then the high school band, which had been planted on one of the porches of the dwelling, began to get ill its work. It was a grand and glorious occasion.
 When the noise-makers and the were tired, the dynamite exhausted and the steam running low, the lieutenant's proud father invited everybody inside to partake of re- treatments.
 Lieutenant Douglas is a son of James Douglas, head of the United Verde Extension company, and comes to take charge of the efficiency de- partment of the big mine, following a special course in that branch of work in an eastern college. He serv- ed with distinction during the world war and has taken a prominent part in the activities of the American Lee zion of which he is an energetic and popular member.
 He was married last June to Miss Peggy Zinsscr, prominent society girl of New York city, and it is cer ain that Lieutenant and Mrs. Doug as will prove a great addition to the society of the camp. They will oc- ,upy the new house that is being built for them near the mine and, 1ntil it is finished, will make their loms at the Douglas residence.
