NO DAMAGES LIMIT
FOR NON-DELIVERY
Of MONEY TELEGRAM

The rule of the Western Union linz
iting its responsibility for undeliv-
cred unrepeated messages to the cost
of the message does not apply to
messages transmitting money which
the company undertakes to transfer,
according to an opinion handed down
by the Arizona supreme court in the
case of Otho Morris against the
Western Union, from Graham county.
The plaintiff and appellant is a
resident of Stafford. He was in Eu-
reka. KAN. and wired his wife for
$25 which she sent by telegraph
But the money did not reach him,
and he was in a serious fix. He was
not only financially embarrassed, ae-
cording to his complaint, but was
broke" in the completest sense of
that expressive word. He was COM
pened to ask aims and to sleep among
the beasts of the field.
In consequence he contracted rheu-
matism and an affliction OF the ear
from lying on the ground and suf-
fered such other physical and mental
that he asked remuneration
in a damage suit in the amount Of
$1,000 beside the return of the $25
and the cost of the message of trans
S1.35.
1t was the defense of the telegraph
that the message was not
message and that, according
to the rules of the company approved
by the interstate commerce COM
mission. it was not liable beyond the
sought to be transferred and
the cost of the message in the event
of failure of delivery.
That view of it was taken by the
court below, but it was reversed by
the supreme court which holds that
there is no interference with the
rules of the company as approved by
the commission, to fix damages suf-
fered by Morris at whatever they
may have been. But the court orders
that in computing damages the plain
tiff is to take nothing for humHia-
ton. The case was remanded with
instructions to the lower court to
take further proceedings in accord
with the opinion.

be seen in all their domestic life, with
a score of big features throughout

ARMORY SITE TITLE
TOSTATE F|RST STEP
FORNEW STRUCTURE

Following an explanation by At
torney General w. J. Galbraith that in
order to erect state arnory on
grounds now occupied by the Ameri-
can Legion building under a 99-year
lease from the city the state would
require full title to the property, the
city commissioners. in regular meet
ing yesterday, passed an ordinance
making possible this transfer of real
estate.
For the erection of such an armory
the city has issued and offered for
sale bonds amounting to $4,000 which
will be matched with state funds. An
excellent bid for the armory bonds
has been received by the city from
the Valley, bank of Phoenix and only
three steps are now necessary before
construction of the proposed building
can be started. These are the trans
fer of the property from the city to
the state, the testing of the validity
of the bonds through friendly suit
and the letting OF the contract
Attorney Galbraith said that the
contract would have to be let by joint
agreement of the city and state before
July j when the state appropriation
will expire. An ordinance providing
for the sale of this property and
authorizing the city manager to pub
fish a call for bids on it was passed
with an emergency clause to expe-
dite the transaction.
Included in the business of this,
their first regular meeting. the COM
missioners passed an ordinance fix
ing the salary of the city manager at
sc, 900: city engineer and superinten-
dent of streets. $4,000; city attorney,

valley, Mr. Galbraith said they found
that larg, V-shaped cut several
hundred feet in area had been made,
the bottom of which was approx
imately on d level with the surface
of the river in normal times. In the
bottom of this cut nine deep holes
had been blasted, extending in row
down the cLt. The brush, Mr. Gal
braith stated, was burned away from
the banks of the slough for several
hundred feet distant from the end of
the cut.
The men working at the place adj
vised the officials they were pre-
pairing To Sta aighten the river for the
mutual benefit of residents on both
sides OF t { river. Mr.. Galbraith de.
clared he believed the cut had been
made so that when the June floods
came in the river the force of the
river current would enter the cut and
tear nay channel for the river on
through the Cibola valley.
This would result he said, in the
channel Of the river either following
the mesa table wall and cutting off
all Of the Cibola valley and leaving
it on the California side Of the river,
or the channel would follow the
course of the slough and cut off only
a part of the valley. Mr.. Galbraith
said in his opinion the work had not
progressed far enough as yet to cause
the river TO change its course, and
legal steps to snjoin the Californians
from further enlarging the cut al
ready made would be started at once.
There are several sections of state
land in the Cibola valley and the in
vestigation trip of the officials was
made to protect the states interest
in these la ds and also to protect the
rights of the several settlers in the
valley who are without sufficient re-
sources to protect themselves. All of
these settlers are homesteaders who
are making an uphill fight to es-
tablish homes in the valley. Some
of the settlers have been in the val
ley for more than 25 years. In all
there are approximately a dozen fam
lilies in the valley.
The Cibola valley is about so miles
north of Yuma and about 20 miles
south Of Blythe, and is very diff
cult to reach because of the lack of
roads. A verdant growth of mes
quite and palo verde covers the en-
tire valley and the soil is a rich
sandy loan. The few settlers in the
valley are financially unable to pro-
mote an irrigation project and irri-
