, charges made against the good faith of Lynch. He produced affidavits ! from two Los Angeles friends of the parties to the effect that Lynch had sincerely tried to find his wife and Fthat she had not been found. After ward, however, it was said, she met the affiants and spoke of having de- liberately avoided service so she could step back into the case after judg- ment and make trouble unless she were paid. She was quoted as hay ing declared herself too good business head to neglect this chance to make a piece of change out of him." One affiant declared she had i spoken to him of getting some of i Lynch's well to do friends" put up f$5,000 to keep her from making trouble It was also said she was convinced she could have Lynch put ] in an asylum and that she could col feet on his government insurance. | Affidavits were filed by the hus- bands side from the publishers of the Los Angeles city and telephone directories declaring the various names, Rose Elizabeth, Rose E., Mrs. James s. Lynch, etc. were not ot record during the years 1919, 1920 and 1921.
 i Alex L. Jones returned to the charge with the astonishing state ment that Lynch had in 1911 sued his wife for divorce in Los Angeles and had then named her by her GUS 1 tomarv name: Rose L. Lynch" that the middle initial always used was Il" and that Lynch certainly knew this. Moreover, Rose L. Lynch ap- peared in the Los Angeles directory. but that Lynch had overlooked 1t while assiduously searching for his wife by all those other names.
 Lynch, he said, according to affi- davits, had gone to Los Angeles and registered as having come from Reno, New, where he let it be un- derstood, the divorce action was pending, and concealing the real To- cale of the suit, Prescott. He ques- tioned this as an act of good faith. Denial was made of any attempt to evade, extort or otherwise cause trouble on the part of Mrs. Lynch.

Government Rodent Extermina- ton Work Carried on by Gill christ at Country Club; At tractive Lunch Ground

Trapping and poisoning gophers is one way of enjoying a golf game, !" said D. A. Gilchrist, director of rod ent extermination for the biological survey department, yesterday. One days work sufficed to clean up the gophers who had mixed with the golfers on the links of the Hassa- yampa Country club. The fairways had been treated by Gilchrist and traps placed where the poison could not be set out Tt is possible" said Gilchrist." to get about 90 per cent of the gophers with poison and the balance can be cleaned out with the traps. Some 40-odd gophers met their destruction in the cleanup.
 Caretaker Pegues has been instruct ed how to set the traps and also the poison, so that should the gophers be attracted to the grounds again, they will soon meet the same fate as their kin on Saturday.
 Ut was a real pleasure to be of service for I did not realize there was such a beautiful golf links and country club in the entire state as that of the Hassayampa," Gilchrist stated as he departed for Kingman there to meet another worker ready for a campaign on prairie dogs.
 It is rather interesting to know that the man who invented the gopher trap worked with the survey in California and now receives a handsome royalty of $6O per day for his invention
 The gophers were attracted to the

 Both of the offensive and defensive sides of the Yankees play, the work of Bob Meusel stood out conspicu- ously. The lanky right fielder hit 500 for the day with single and a double in four times up, his double as related, scoring Ruth with the run needed to win the game and his own crossing of the plate directly after ward, making the Yankees two up on their opponents. It was MeusePs powerful right arm, however, which proved the most telling argument oi the game outside of the box work of Hoyt.

 TO COWS ENDED
Bullet of Government Hunter Brings Low King of Wolves Near Kingman; Thousands Saved to Cattlemen

Lobo, the wolf, king of the Arizona cow-killers, is dead. After long and successful career as a cattle ban dit on the Arizona plains, he has bit ten the dust at the command of a government hunter, who brought him down with one shot from a rifle. And at that. the rifle had the rear sight missing.
 For three years, according to the report received by the biological sur vey. United States department of agriculture, Lobo has taken toll of pure-bred Hereford stock near King man, eluding all hunters and leading apparently charmed life. Once in two weeks the old bandit of the plains went over his trail On one ranch alone So fine whitehead yearl- ings have fallen victim to his skill and cunning within year. Several other ranches tell similar stories of lLobo's depredations.
 Perhaps it was the old wolfs be- lief that his luck would last forever; perhaps it was that he was getting old; anyway, he got careless.

OF SCHOOL GIR[ CAIISES N|GHT-LONG SEARCH IF
 THE CITY BY POLICE OFFICERS

Efforts of city police officers and men from the sheriff's office to To- cate little Dorothy Ray Geary, nine year-old daughter of L. V. Geary ot Maple street, in east Prescott, mis- sionary for the American Sunday School Union, up to late hour last night were fruitless.
 The city was secured in search of the young girl, who was last seen when she left St. Joseph's academy, of which she IS pupil, about ( o'clock in the evening. She carried a report card which she had been in- structed to show to her parents.
 But every attempt 10 locate the child was futile. Officers visited a local hotel, where she had been seen playing with several girl friends shortly after o'clock, and later searched the vicinity of Sheldon street between Pleasant and Mt Vernon, following a report that the child had been seen there. Visits to the Academy, the homes of neigh bors and Fort Whipple proved equal ly useless.
 The child's parents last night could advance no reason for the sudden disappearance of the little girl. She had never run away from home, and was in the habit of playing with friends in the immediate neighbor- hood of her house. A search of that vicinity revealed that she was not there.
 The theory was held at the sheriff's office that little Dorothy Geary had been unwilling to show her report card to her parents, because of pos sible low grades, and that to avoid the dilemma she had determined not to return home. She was described to the officers by her father as nine years old, weight 70 pounds, with a stocky build and with dark bobbed hair. When she left the Academy she wore a dress with white collar
 Fears that the child may have met with an accident were not seriously entertained by the authorities. The search was being continued through the early morning hours by the city police.

NEW YORK, Oct. l0.-A bunt in a baseball game doesn't hold candle to a home-run as a spectacular feat but a little bunt which Babe Ruth laid down on the grass at the Polo Grounds today showed how much i'm Iportance sometimes attaches to the least sensational performance. The Babes home run in the ninth inning of Sundays game was for the Yan- kees as a team just one more run and nothing more. His bunt in the fourth inning of today's game, the fifth in the 1921 world series, proved the turning point of the contest which was won by the American Leaguers, to 1, over their National League opponents.

EXPLORATION AND DECEPTION ARE
 CHARGES LYNCH D|vORCES CASE

Whether Or not Rose Elizabeth Lynch will be permitted to reopen the divorce case of James s. Lynch, remained last evening with Superior Judge Sweeney after half a day of argument of what seems to have turned out to be the most amazing action for marital separa- ton ever recorded here. Charges
 of deception and attempted extor- ton were contained in affidavits
 and other documents presented by attorneys for the former Jerome mining man and his wife.
 The good faith of both parties was in turn questioned during argument by Alex L. Jones for the petitioner, Mrs. Lynch and Judge John A. Ellis, appearing for the plaintiff ill the orig inal suit, now become sort of de- fendant in his turn. Statements by Los Angeles friends of the parties were literally used to back up the petitions and arguments of the op- posing sides. The intervention of war service, the arrival of poverty in the affairs of Lynch. his arrest on later dismissed charge of embezzle- ment, an alleged attempt by Mrs. Lynch to have him incarcerated as insane and her declared intention to secure "a piece of change" up to $5,- GOO as hush money, were points of argumentative fire struck from the case by the lawyers.
 James s. Lynch obtained divorce after service of summons by publica- ton. The action was filed and judg- ment entered in the Yavapai county court in June, 1920.
 A few months ago Mrs. Lynch came into the case by filing a mo- ton for setting aside of judgment ard alleged that Lynch knew where she was between the time Of filing the action and its trial, but had de- Iberately not tried to have her noti- fled. Yesterdays argument was on this motion. By her filing, she re- versed the position of the parties in the original suit and became plaintiff.
 Plead Time Limit
