Supposed Horse Thief Captured.

hair was the means of his Identification.
Some time ago horse belonging to a
Phenix man named Packard was missed.
The theft Of the animal was laid against
the long haired man, who's name is Rich
ard Austin. An officer was Saturday
night keeping usual lookout when he
saw the man, long hair and all, with his
spurs on, looking at the keno game.
Hello, Austin"
"Hello!" said he, putting out his hand
to the officer. The grasp was not i'm
mediately released, and Austin was
somewE at astonished when questioned
as to tie whereabouts Of horse takeL
from MIR. Packard at Phepix. He did
not directly deny taking it, but claimed
it was sail right" The horse, he said,
broke away from him at Toltec, and
that he came from there on tho cars,
The officer asked hlm il he wore the
spurs to "touch up" the train. He
presisted in tie story, nevertheless, and
1t is probably true. Search was made of
all the corrals and stables about town,
and in vain.
Word has been sent to Phenix regard
ing the capture, and Austin is awaiting
order from there.

The democratic party platform usu-
ally pledge fealty to vaguely limited
abstract doctrines and traditions" In
fact, the party is trying to subsist on
the frail nourishment OF past glory
diluted to suit the cankereus palate OF
its diminishing adherents, and it is
much in the position of the useless and
scarcely ornamental son Of an illustrious
sire, whose only virtue is his pedigree.
The exponents of democracy point with
pride to democratic principles. but sig-
nally fail to specify what those princi-
pies are. The result is that the student
of our politics who fain would learn
from democratic leaders what the prin-
ciples OF their party really are, is no
better off than the listener at scientific
gathering who hears paper in which
he is particularly interested, read-"by
title" Still one can scarcely blame the
democratic party from declining to do
much in the principle line, from the fact
that it has been its principles that have
brought it so often to grief.

very important factor in our city affairs,
as matters Of the utmost Importance are
likely to come before that body during

CURED on both sides, but as is always
the case, the scratching of the republican
ticket has been in the ascendency. This

candidate for council. On the other.

The best authorities now estimate
that the great Arizona plateau, which
embraces 5000 square miles, will yield
25,OOO,OOO feet of lumber. This lumber
will :prove a great source of wealth to
Arizona. A ready market for it can be
found in western Texas, Kansas, South
ern Colorado and New Mexico. The
timber is said to be of the finest quality,
and now that the lumber lands of the
northwest ara being 50 rapidly denuded,
our timber lands must bee ,me very
valuable.
