His Crime.

Tucson, AriZ., Dec. pa special to
the Star from Florence says that Judge
Rouse last night sentenced Oscar Rog-
ers, convicted of train robbing, to be
hanged on Feb. 8.
The crime for which ne has been
sentenced TO suffer the death penalty
was perpetrated on the SOth of last
September when three men, Oscar
Rogers, Frank Amer and John Dono-
van held up the east-bound overland
at Maricopa station. They secured
about $50 from Wells, Fargo's box and
the messengers gold watch.
Arner was captured the following
day near Phoenix. after a desperate
fight with the sheriff and posse. He
was wounded, but has fully recovered.
Rogers was captured near Yuma and
was brought to Tucson.
Donovan is still at large, and the Of
f1cers have about given up hope of
ever effecting his capture.
Last week Arner pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to thirty years at Yuma
penitentiary.
Rogers declared himself innocent
and the trial resulted as already stated
An appeal will be taken. The gen.
eral opinion of the lawyers OF the ter

In POLICE CIRCLES.


Four burglarfes within twenty-four
hours is the record of the complaints
of this character made to the police
officers up to yesterday forenoon. The
first burglary reported was the one
occurring late Monday night. when the
news agents box of saleable articles,
which was left on platform of an ex-
press car at the Union Pacific depot.
was broken into and looted. Stimuli
taneously with this occurrence was
the .burglarizing of Scare & Sons

establishment at s27 West South Tenn
pie street.
Some time between Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning Eardley' s
general merchandise store at 635 South
Main street, and also Shaw's store at
tbs South West Temple street, were
broken into and plundered of q large
quantity Of goods.
The officers are at work on every clue
that promises anything like satisfac-
tory results in the way of apprehend-
ing the guilty ones. The fact that
the department is short five men and
the twenty-three actively in harness

hazardous to contemplate. Doubtless

THE RUNAWAY COUPLE.
Mrs. Mulvaney and Valentine Max
ing IL Hard Fight.

The only new developments yesterday
in the matter of Mrs. Mulvaney and
Charles Valentine, the runaway couple
who are in custody ait Ell Paso, Texas,
with Police Captain Donovan endeiav-
oring to procure their possession and
return here ON requisftion papers, were
the finding of an indictment against
the clippers, charging them with grand
larceny, and the forwarding of a copy
of the indictment to the officers at the
border city. 1t is believed this will de-
feat the efforts of the clippers. who
went away with so much Of the New
York tourists cash and Jewels, to OBJ
tain their liberty. Mr.. Mulvaney, the
wronged husband, had his attorney,
Judge Powers and Proprietor Holmes,
of the Knutsford, keep the wires to Ell

of urgency to the captain and local Off
GERS there, and they hope to hear in a
few hours that the runaways are
turned over to the custody of Captain

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
General Manager Stone Replies to
the Assaults of the Enemy-Inside
Facts in the Case.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-It cannot have
escaped public attention that during the
past year there has been a persistent
a New York paper to discredit the As
ISOLATED Press.
Day after day il has been asserted
that the Associated Press was falling
TO pieces; that it was bankrupt; that
each months business showed a deficit;
that its news service was unreliable and
frequently behind time; that there was
widespread dissatisfaction among its
members. To those who know the facts,
these statements only furnished fresh
evidence OF the plight into which the

many of those who were the most

Press and most solicitous for the Wei

OUTRAGES ON AMERICANS.
GuntemaIans Show Hatred for Our
Citizens.

GuntemaIans Show Hatred for Our
Citizens.
San Francisco, Dec. 12.-The steamer
Colon, which has arrived from Panama
and way points, brought particulars of
the outrage ON William Henry Argall,
an American citizen, by the Guate-
malan government. Argall, it seems,
had the temerity to question the au-
thority of the Jefe Politico of Guate-
mala when the latter attempted to
steal some land. Argall was thrown
into prison for his audacity. While in
the penitentiary, Argall, having de-
manded to see the commandante, was
brutally beaten by the officer in charge
of the prison.
United States Minister Young heard
of the outrage and demanded the re-
lease of his countryman. The presi-
dent of the republic had to be appealed
to and he showed his contempt by. post
poning action and keeping Argall in
generated for twelve days. AT the end
of that time the doors of ArgaEs dun
geon were thrown open and he and his
companions were permitted to walk
forth into the open air. A complaint
was formulated and sent on to Wash
ington. The result has been that the
imprisonment Of Argall has taken the
shape of an international issue and
Guatemala may yet be called upon to
answer to- this country for the indig-
nifty put upon citizen of the United
States.
Among the passengers on the Colon
was a gentleman who had been in
Guatemala for the past two months
and who, while there, was in a position
to be thoroughly familiar with the
workings of the government He de
nounces the arrest and detention of
Argall and his comrades as an outrage.
He declares that Americans are treated
with the utmost contempt by President
Barrios and his minions. Barrios, he
says, has no use for Americans for the
reason that they are too clever to be
wheedled out of gold by the govern
