NOTED MULE CASE" IS
 SETTLED BY THE STATE

A state warrant for $12,5OO was issued to A. A. Johns of Prescott fer his claim against the state. The con troversy between the Aubrey Invest ment company (Tony Johns) and the state involved the question of the a. mount paid for mules and machinery which was taken over by the state.
 The matter was taken into the courts where Mr. Johns was given Judgment for practically the entire amount on which he brought suit. The state appealed and in view of the fact that the case could not be heard and decided before the 1921 legislature the matter was taken up and a settlement agreed upon which resulted in the passage of a relief measure.
 Mir Johns was awarded judgment Tn the amount of S1S,000 in the su- perior court of Yavapai county.

to look. the mischief was done. Dur
gin had crumpled down into mis-
shapen heap on the floor and the sight
we saw was enough to make your
blood run cold.
You see, he had put the muzzle Of
the pistol into his mouth, and-but it's
no use: can't tell about 1t. and the
very Thought Of that thing that had
just minute before been man, ly-
ing there on the floor makes me see
black and want to keel over. What
he had said about sending for an extra

tile top Of his head blown of, the
poor devil didn't need anything more
in this world except the burying.
Somebody has said, mighty truth

doesn't stop the common routine; that
the things that hive to be done will
go grinding on. just the same, whether
all Of US live. or some Of US die. Dis.
brow had jumped from the telephone
ct the crash of Durgln's shot. and for
just q second or so we all stood around
the dead dispatcher, nobody making a
move. 5
Then Mr.. Norcross came alive with
Jerk, telling Dlsbrow to get back on
his job Of calling out the wreck wagons
and the relief train. and directing
Bobby kelso to go to another phone
and call an undertaken to come and
get Durgin's body. Tarbell turned
back to the train desk to keep things
from getting into worse tangle than
they already were in, and to wait for
the dreadful news, and the boss stood
by him.
This second wait promised to be the
worst Of all. The collision was due
to happen miles from the nearest wire
station; the news, when we should
get 1t, would probably be carried back

CINE which had gone out. to try to
overtake the "Flyer." But even in
that case 1t might be an agonizing
hour or more before we could hear
anything.
In little while Disbrow had clicked
In his call to Kirgan, and when the
undertaker's wagon came to gather up
what was left Of the dead dispatcher,
the ;car-record man was hurrledly writ

Van Britt had gone down to super
intend the making up Of the relief

among other things, laid down the
broad principle that the public had. a
right to be given all the facts In a
railroad disaster. Mr.. Norcross was
just telling me to call up the Noun
taineer Office. when Tarbell. calmly
linking time reports upon the train
sheet, flung down his pen and snatched
at his key to "break" the chattering
.sounder. ~
Mr.. Van Britt had come upstairs
again. and he and the boss were both
standing over Tart,ell when the "G-S"
break cleared the wire. Instantly there
came quick call. "G-S" "G-S" fol-
lowed by the signature. "B-J" for
Bauxite Junction. Tarbell answered,
and then we all heard what Bauxite
had to say:
"Pusher overlook Number Four three
miles west of Sand Creek and has
brought her back here. What orders
for here"
Somebody groaned,. "Oh, thank God /"
and Mr.. Van. Britt dropped into q
chair as If he had been hit by can

low who acted as a relief on the COM
mercial wire. When we got there,
we found that Tarbell had happened
to be in the Office when Durgin blew
up. Ne was sitting il at the train
key, trying to get Grow Gulch, the
one intermediate wire station between
the two trains that had failed to get
their meet" orders. and this was the
first I knew that he really was the
expert telegraph operator that his
payroll description said he was. q
Durgin looked like a tortured ghost.
He was thin. dark man with sort
of scattering beard and limp black
hair: one Of the clearest-headed dis
patchers In the bunch, and the very
last man, you'd say, to get ratified in
tangle-up. Yet here he was, hunched

in big drops on his forehead and his
hands shaking as IL he had the palsy.

Durgln says he simply forgot that
the 'FlyV was running late: that she
was still out and had meet to make

|, Brief as Morris explanation was.
1t was clear enough for anybody who
knew the road and the schedules. The
regular meeting-point for the two pas
senger trains was at point well east
of Portal City, instead of west, and

night, and 1t was on that thousandth
