9l4 CANCELLED
CHECKS SHOWN
In TUCSON SUIT

TUCSON, Ariz., June is R)--A
veritable checkburst fell upon the
heads of the jurors in the trial of
Pima county against Harry r. Bat
terton, ct AL, today. Exactly 914
cancelled checks, representing Bat
tertons disbursements to various per-
sons from 1922 to 1926, inclusive, were
shown to the jurors who are trying
the county's suit to recover $51, ,251.95,
paid out for jail site alleged to
have been purchased by the board Of
supervisors without authority Of law.
Batterton was clerk of the board up
to October 5, 1925.
Batterton the first witness called
by the defense at the opening Of
it's case today, testified that the 9l4
slips constituted all of his checking
business during the years mentioned,
except so checks made out to Frank
B. Lopez, another defendant, that
were already introduced in evidence
last week by the plaintiff county.
In addition to the checks, 229 de-
post slips were introduced into the
Eecord.
At one swoop, motions for an in
structed verdict for nine of the 20
defendants were granted today by
Judge Fred L. Ingraham, of Yuma,
who is presiding over the trial. The
motions automatically dropped from
the case the Consolidated National
Bank and eight of the property own
ers alleged to have sold lots to the
county for Jail site.
When the trial opened, June 6, there
were 81 defendants named in the
complaint On the first day, by
agreement of counsel, the name of
Mrs. Floy P. Batterton, was dropped
from the list of defendants.

formed her that both Nungesser and
Coli were alive and safe.
Coupled with this repSAt was another,
that the fire wardens Of the Price
Brothers company, who own extensive

last Tuesday night seen mysterious
lights, which appeared like the glare
of a search light playing over the
mountains northeast of the Saguenay
river in Begin township. The Price
company'S observation towers were
manned last night for the first time
since Eduard Lavoie and j. r. Wells
reported having seen flares on the
hills IN st. German township Sunday
evening.
Begin township is nearer to chi
coutimi than ST. German, and the
feeling was that whoever was reSpon
sible for the lights were making toward
the populated districts of the Saguenay.
The provincial government has re-
ceived no confirmation of any report
beyond that which said lights had been
observed. Government officials coun-
rel caution in accepting as true reports
that the flares were sent up by Nun
gesser and Coli, for it is realized that
other agencies might have been respon-
Sible for them.
The entire Chicou(mi district has
been converted into camp of willing
watchers and searchers, and nothing
will be left undone to trace the source
Of the lights.

Coolidge AS usual the president re-

GORGEOUS FANTASY OF
 DREAM IN "TWINkLETOES"

One hundred and twenty beautiful dancing girls, who made themselves famous by performance at the Holly wood Bowl, are seen in Colleen Moore's latest picture, "Twinkletoes, !" at the Bradley Sunday and Monday.
 They figure in dream sequence in the picture and form an entraneing vision of feminine loyeliness-also an effective contrast to the dingy but pie turesque Limehouse atmosphere of 'sTwinkletoes.
 The picture is an adaptation by Winifred Dunn of one of Thomas Burke's famous Limehouse stories. produced for First National by John Mccormick and directed by Charles Brabin.
 Colleen herself-who. by the way. wears golden curls in HTwinkletoes8 because the Burke heroine wore them appears as a dancer headlining a second group of dancers, The Quay side Kids" at a Limehouse theatre.

Gardner made an investigation of the accident and Nincellett was held under bonds Of g. 900 on a technical charge of reck- less driving. An inquest is to be held in the near future.
 The accident happened in the village of Grosvenordale, where Mrs. Mailloux and her husband, Henry Mailloux, to whom she had been married but short time, arrived in their car from attending the theatre in Putnam and stopped in front of their home
 As near as can be learned Mrs. Mailloux stepped out of the ear and passed around it. IL Is thought that she saw the Nincelett ear approaching and started to turn back. The surface of the road was covered with ice and she fell. Mir. Nincelett saw the woman and put on his brakes, but because of the slippery condition of the highway the car slid. It is thought that he would have avoided hitting the wOm- an if his car had not skidded.
 Following the accident Mir. Nincelett and Mr. Mailloux lifted Mrs. Mailloux into the Nineelett car and took her to the office of a North GrosHenordale physician. who ordered her removal to the hospital. She died about half past uino o'clock. An autopsy was per formed by nrs. $. E. Overlook and r. A. Merrell at the undertaking rooms of 4. Gilman X Company. The re suit If the autopsy was not made pub
