PRAIRIE DOGS
 TO ROLL GALL
Ten Thousand Rodent Pests De- stroyed by Biological Survey on Cooper Ranch; Start Boys Trapping Contest
tErnm Fridav,s paryl

Ten thousand prairie dogs answer ed the roll call of the biological sur vey, in drive just about completed by L. L. Laythe, assistant to Direc- tor Gilchrist in rodent extermination work of the government.
 On the Cooper ranch the dogs seemed to have made a center for their destructive work on the Pres colt Farms project, but thanks to the gas and the good work of the prairie dog "poisoners," they have been al- most entirely eradicated from the farms.
 To further encourage the death of the rodents, Laythe has started a contest among the school boys on the project, offering prizes of three, two and one dollar and another group of five 50-cent pieces to the youngsters trapping the most goph- CTS. Each boy has been supplied with two government traps and the work has started in earnest. The boys bringing in the most scalps will receive the money purses.
 Laythe has been centralizing his work on the Prescott Farms and ac- cording to the farmers excellent re- suits have been forthcoming.
 The stockmen and farmers of Ari- zona appreciate the work which has been done by killing the rodents, saving thousands of dollars in actual cash value to the range, the products of the farms and the orchards.

 The fight for control of the direc- torate of the Golden Dragon is also made a part of the matters included in the present action, by citation in the complaint of some of the legal papers said to have been signed in connection with that dispute.

(From Thursdays Daily)


 Establishment ot cooperative milk depot in Prescott is planned by the farmers of the county, working through the Yavapai County Farm Bureau, it was made known yester- day by C. U. Pickrell, county farm agent The depot, the farmers state, would provide for the distribution of pure milk and dairy products from this county. Plans are at pres ent being outlined for the establish ment of the depot and for providing it with proper machinery and equip lment for care and pasteurization.
 Care would be taken, it was stated, to assure a sufficient supply of. safe and wholesome milk, aside from the taste of the product and what is known as the >"cream-line. Under the cooperative dairying plan, milk would be held below 50 degrees from the time it IS mixed from the COW to the time it IS delivered, except for the few minutes necessary for proper pasteurization.
 Proper application of heat during the pasteurization process would be observed, to avoid interference with the cream line from too great heat and rapid souring from too little. Destruction of any possible patho- logical conditions is the end sought in pasteurization, it was explained.

judgment, the defendant sought by af- fidavits to reopen the case on the grounds that the plaintiff, knowing her whereabouts, had deliverately re- trained from serving direct notice. The good faith of both parties was questioned during argument of a mo- ton to set aside the decree, at which a number of sensational charges were made by both sides. Mrs. Lynch at tended this hearing, her husband be- ing represented by counsel but not personally present.
 John A. Ellis and E. H. Loveridge, representing Lynch, presented affi- davits tending to show that Mrs. Lynch purposely remained without the reach of her husband for the reason she desired to break open the litigation after it had been closed or obtain $5,000 fdr keeping quiet" It was also alleged she had hoped to have Lynch placed in an asylum so she might collect on his government insurance
 Alex L. Jones, representing Mrs. Lynch, brought forward affidavits and statements purporting to show Lynch had concealed the actual juris- ton in which the divorce case was pending by registering as from Reno, New, while visiting in Los Angeles, although the case then was pending here.

JEROME UNION MEN ADJUDGED GUILTY IN
 DEGREE VIOLATIONS
From Thursdays Dailv)


 Jerome Union Stage Line officers and attaches and the corporation yes terday were adjudged guilty of Fin direct violation" of a decree of the superior court in that they carried freight and passengers for hire and compensation on roads over which the corporation commission had not granted them a certificate to ply motor vehicles.
 In announcing his ruling on the contempt hearing of about ten days ago, Superior Judge John J. Sweeney notified the attorneys for the defend ants that some time subsequent to the trial of the sheep trespass case on October 24, he would indicate the penalties to be exacted for viola ton of the injunction granted June 28 by Judge Frank H. Lyman on the prayer of the state of Arizona at the relation of Attorney General w. J. Galbraith.
 The contempt charges having been dismissed as against several of the original defendants cited to appear at the hearing, the judgment of the court now lies against the following: :: The corporation, Frank w. Smith, its president, E. J. (Shorty) F1umer- felt, vice-president, and Phil B. Saavedra, its treasurer; and Paul Peabody, one of the drivers against whom evidence was introduced to show he had been instrumental in the violations of the injunction.
 Another driver, Harold Anderson, was involved in the case, but while the action against him was not dis missed Gin his absence from the court and jurisdiction) his name was not of record in the judgment as finally entered. Anderson was regarded as one of the more fragrant offenders, having at one time, according to tes- timony, shouted in the doors of the Arizona Bus company an announce ment of his impending departure for Jerome, thereby inducing a number of waiting passengers to take passage with him.
 The operation of motor truck for | hauling goods between Clarkdale and | Jerome and Jerome and Prescott, and | the operation of passenger cars be- tween these points for hire, were set up in the judgment as acts of viola ton of the Lyman decree upon which the court yesterday based its finding of guilt
 It was explained by the court that indirect contempt, implied in the judgment, refers merely to 'acts of | violation committed not in the actual presence of the court" The con- tempt hearing was delayed by the defense when it first came up, by ruling that jurisdiction could not be taken on affidavits based merely on information and belief, and amended affidavits, going around this point, later enabled the court in its own de- cision, to assume jurisdiction and proceed with the hearing of facts I purporting to support the charges.
 The Judgment was another step in the two-year-old stage war that has involved two stage lines, the state corporation commission and the su- perior court, in which judges of three Arizona counties have sat during trial of various issues.
 The state of Arizona was repre- scented by Anderson, Gale & Nilsson as special counsel for the attorney ', general and the defense was conduct ed by J. E. Russell, C. C. Norton and others.
