Of this city, very quietly left town last
Saturday night and there was quite a
number Of residents Of this city who
wanted 10 know his whereabouts on
Sunday.
Mr.. Hand has been negotiating with an
English company for some time for the
sale Of a mining property in Central
America. He has made several trips to
tho mines which are owned in part by
w. f. Aiken, formerly Of this city.
Some time q Mr.. Hand received n ca
bic message from London stating that a
considerable sum Of money had been
placed to bis credit and no obtained
quite a sum here but it seems that the
deposit wal not made and Mr.. Hand was
left in a rather bad position. When il
became noised about town on Sunday
that he had loft the night before, tele-
grams we're sent out in all directions to
intercept HIM as IL was feared by some
Of his creditors that he might not return
il he once succeeded in getting out OF
the country.
No one appeared to know how he got
out OF town or in what direction he went
but some Of the observing mes we're Of
the opinion that he left about 8 o'clock
Saturday night in a buggy and that no
was driven out Of town by a friend. The
facts as they we're developed proved
this to DO correct.
A warrant wa issued for his arrest
for obtaining money under false preten-
ses and he was arrested at Mutt station
by G. L. Cantly yesterday and brought
here on the train yesterday afternoon.
He will have a hearing before Justice
Givens today. He is charged with hav-
ing obtained s1,025 under false pre-
tense.
The driver of NJ. X. Whites delivery
wagon filed himself up with bad whis-
key last Sunday and by the time the
! train, which about two hours late, ar
rived, he was quite boisterous. Mr..
White has the contract for carrying the
mail between the post office and railroad
station and the driver goes to the trains
for the purpose of getting the mail. AS
be was returning from the train Sunday
afternoon he deliberately attempted to
run into a buggy which Aaron Schultz
was driving in front OF M. X. Whites
residence. Mr.. Schultz, who had one Of
his children in the buggy with him,
drove on down town was in front Of w
L. Jackson's drug store when the driver
Of the delivery wagon which %was-cominl
down on the other side Of the street
made a short turn and attempted tC
run into Schultz buggy again. He wai
arrested and lodged in Jail over NIGH
and yesterday morning Justice Giveni
fined him five dollars and costs for being
drunk and disorderly. Mr.. Schultz de
elined to make any charge against bin
and for that reason he escaped with
very light punishment. His deliberat,
attempt to run into the buggy nigh
have resulted in a serious accident if thI
horse which MI. Schultz was driving haC
not been a perfectly gentle one.
The residents Of Lordsburg are yer.
much encouraged at the prospect of
railroad from that place to Globe. I
was reported some time ago that tn
officials of the Southern Pacific wer
considering a proposition TO purchas
the narrow gauge road from Lordsbur
to Clifton, make it a standard gauge ant
continue the line to Globe. This repor
was d~iscredited by some but the recen
action of the Southern Pacific in issuinI
nearly a hundred millions in new five pc
cent. bonds seems to tend TO confirm il
The purpose Of the issue Of the bonds j
to take up some Of the outstanding in
~debtedness of the company and to rails
money to build new lines. 1t is under
stood that the plan is to ultimately OK
tend the line from Globe to Californi
and this would mean the probabl
abandonment of the line through tn
desert eventually. The new line woul
pass through the richest part of Arizon
and would be a much more deslrabl
route to the Pacific coast than th
present Southern Pacific route.
