John J. Doyle Arrested for Robbine
the U. 8. Mails.

The elimination of series of petty rob-
berries of the mails was the arrest of John j.
Doyle, assistant baggage master at OwOssO
junction. The act that fastened DOyle's
guilt was the passing of a forged check
drawn by by j. X. Laing, of New York, in
favor of w. w. Lawrence of Parkinson
for $31.2O. Doyle had been at Stewards
bank occasionally to get change and do
business for Slough, the agent at OwOsso
junction, and it was at this bank that Doyle
presented the Lawrence check with the en-
dorsement of Lawrence and Slough, saying
Slough sent him over to get the money.
Doyle then enclosed twenty dollars to
Lawrence, writing on the account of sales
that twenty dollars was enclosed and the re-
mainder would be sent about May list.
When it was discovered that the endorse
ments on the check were forgeries, an in
vestigation was instituted by Stewards bank
which resulted i'm the identification of Doyle
How Doyle got the check was then easily
explained. When the postal clerks handed
packages of letters to him to take from one
train to another, they were retained and
rifled. Doyle is said to have formerly been
post Office clerk i'm Milwaukee and could
with considerable accuracy tell letter con-
tanning valuables. When confronted with
the evidence of his guilt the youth admitted
the charge and paid over the SLIGO balance
on the Lawrence check. After being con-
fined i'm the Owosso lookup, Doyle was taken
to Corunna to Jail by Sheriff MOrrice, acting
as deputy u. S. Marshal. The case will be
tried in the district court at Detroit, the
charge being robbing the mails, which is a
more serious charge than forgery. Doyle is
youth not far from twenty years of age
and had previously borne good reputation.
He came from Zilwaukie to Ow0ss0. No
particular motive for the crime further than
the desire for money is known. His habits
would not have led to the crime as he was
not kpowu IN ha aytrayaOant

The man Eucines, found ir Solomon vile with the horse from the Indian school, seems to be very desirable per son. Pima county wants him, Graham will hold him till an account there ia settled, and now Maricopa comes in for a chance at him, for taking the horse for which he subsequently substituted the Indian school animal.
 Deputy Sheriff NJ. \. Gall9ido, of Maricopa county, is in Ihe city, ard gives d little more lig..t on the thefts of that individual. Tue horse taken from there was stolen August let. lie first took a stallion belonging to G. R Rood, but abandoned that animal after going a few miles, it being unfit for his use, having been cut by wire fence. He then rode the second animal to where It was found. Tho saddle male g large scra on its back. The horse was taken back to Marlcopa county today.
 The deputy sheriff had other business in Tucson lie takes back another horse thief witt him, PedTo Baldenegro. and the hoIsss as veil, pair taken from the Salt river valley, month ago. He cap tureG his mGn night before ast.
 MaucoFa county has suffered coDsid- erably from the deeds of horse thieves for some time past. The genial deputy sheriff estimates their Expectations iI the vicinity at loo horses. Ono man named Baker lost 15 in one night, of the anchor brand. The general direc- ton taken is Sonora, where 1t is thought most of them can be found.

PINA's LEVY FOR 1891.
The Tax Levy as Fixed by the Board of Supsrvisors-Loss Than Before.

Yesterday q Mexican girl asked pr. Heavensten, the dentist at the Orndorff house. toextract bicuspid tooth which pained her. The tooth was sound and the doctor requested her to save it. According to her wish, though, he pull ed it.
 Half an hour later an American woman had tooth of the same class, but much decayed, extracted, and asked if it could be replaced with false tooth. The doctor suggested grating the tooth of the Mexican girl, which was done. The sound tooth is very satisfactory and pleases its new owner, she regarding it as much better than a false one.

THE INDIAN SCHOOL.

Trusting that many readers of the CITIZEN feel an interest in whatever may be dons with view to ameliorate the condition of the humblest of man. kind, while: at Yuma, took peep into the Indian school department under the management of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The principal, Mother Ambrosla, beng unwelI, another teacher, Sister Lauren tia. kindly lead me through the varIed apartments, and explained the main features of the school, which occupies the old military quarters of Fort Yuma on the California side of the Colorado river.
 During the present school vacation the different departments are undergo ing thorough renovation. The former delspidation of the buildings is giving way to fresh coat of plaster and paint, which will add greatly to their attrac- ton and comfort. Much of thie work is belng done by the young Indians them selves, who thus acquire Q most useful lesson in the skillful use of tools. Some of them show remarkable aptitude and taste for carpentry york. The educa- tion IS decidedly practical. Besides the rudimentary branches of the English language, speciality of shoemaking, farming and carpentry is taught the boys, and the girls arc instructed in the use of the needle and all kinds of house hold work. The names of teachers, not already mentioned, are Sisters Anicita, Florence, Edmund, Magdslena, and Mary Joseph. The average number of pupils last year was about l50. The school has now been established five years, during which many difficulties had to be met by these faithful workers in the cause of humanity. No prior at tempt lad ever been made to elevate these Indians by means of education, and the old people were at first imbued with much suspicion that harm would be done their children. While as the good sister was frank to confess her opinion that work of several genera tons is before thom, and tbat at times it became quite discouraging, yet there was sufficient progress being mede to press onward. The people of Yuma note slight improvement since long ago, there being fewer instances of In dians, young or old, running about unclothcd than was formerly the case Mr. Mander is the carpenter, w. Follett the farmer. and pr. Heffernan the phy sician. The support of the institution is derived from the government, From all 1 could see and learn, either directly or indirectly, credit is due, especially the sisters, for what is being done at the Yuma Indian school F.
