treasure was hidden and he said that who knew where it was.
 While McClarty and Mcdonald were learning this, officer Slankard was also after him, and either set of officers was liable to take charge of him last Thursday. But McClarty and Mcdonald brought him in from the camp and turned him oyer, with all the info .mation which they had been able to gather, to Detective Brecken- ridge, who started with him for Los Angeles the same night, hoping to reach there unannounced, that Thomp- sons Los Angeles pals might not have time to change the hiding place of the treasure.
 On account of the washout the de- tective and Etzler returned to Phoenix. They started again yesterday afternoon, but were again turned back. Etzler goes willingly and says he has nothing to fear as he was only an accessory after the fact and he intends to purge him. self of even that offense by turning states evidence.
 A part of Etzler's confession to De- tective McClarty made three days ago was that Thompson's partner in the robbery was Los Angeles man named Johnson. The detective telegraphed for Johnson's arrest and he is now in jail. So far az Etzler knows no one but himself, Thompson and Johnson knows where the rest of the buried treasure is. Johnson will not be allowed to communicate with anyone from the Los Angeles jail but the officers here fear that Thompson may notify friends at Los Angeles and have it removed be- fore Etzler can reach there.
 Thompson is born despersdo. He is now only about twentytwo years old and has been raised in the valley. The ofense for which he was sent to Yuma was the theft of couple of horses from the Buckeye country. Judge Kibbey sentenced him, and in doing SO expressed regret on account of the prisoners age and apparent want of intellect.
 Etzler says that soon after the Maricopa robbery Thompson pro- posed the robbery of train at the same place and argued that it would be safe because it would be un- expected. Etzler agreed to it, but on the night set for the commission of the crime he weakened and determined for good not to be train robber. He says that talking and thinking about hold ing up train is fascinating; the night air. though, and the thought of the possible outcome is chilling, discourag- ing and horrifying.

A WRONG RIGHTED.
Release of Dewitt c. Whitaker from
 the Penitentiary.

the Penitentiary.
 Governor Hughes yesterday issued two pardons to prisoners confined st at Yuma. One was to King Ussery sent up in Novem Der, 1892, from Pinal county seven years ago for burglary. The original appeal was made by his mother who depended upon him for support. Evidence had been secured which threw great doubt upon his guilt and the application was signed by the pre- siding judge, prosecuting attorney and his asslstant and most of the trial jurors and was recommended by the board of prison commissioners.
 The other pardon was that of Dewitt c. Whitaker sent up for seven years from Yavapai county in June of last year for manslaughter. There is quite history in this case, an important part of which was not considered at his trial. Whittaker's victim was man named Brice who it is shown had been criminally intimate with the convict wife. Something more than four years ago Whitaker and Brlce with their fami- lies were on their way from Prescott to Phoenix. One night Whitaker saw Brice entering the wagon in which his wife was sleeping. As Whitaker ap. preached him Brice turned and attacked the injured husband with 8 knife. Whitaker fled a short distance and picking up shovel struck his pursuer and despoller of his home blow from which he afterward died. Whitaker never lived with his wife after that night but went away to Wyoming where he remained four years.
 After Brice's death his widow swore out warrant against Whitaker and he was returned to Arizona on requis- ition, tried and convicted.

 ToMBsToNE,' Ariz., Oct. 19.-The Re publican campaign has opened in Co., chise county and never before ir the history of the county has there been such display of enthusiasm.
 Democrats by the score are forsaking the party that has destroyed the silver. cattle and wool industries of the terri tory and are identifying themselves with the Republican party, the party of the people.
 The first great meeting ot the cam paign was at Bisbee last night. Judge c. W. Wright and Judge J. H. Kibbey, chairman of the Republican territorial committee, were the speakers of the night. They were met at Fairb by a committee of prominent people from Bisbee. The engine was gally decor ated with bunting and all along the route the tram was greeted With en- thusiastic cheers. The arrival of the train at Bisbee was announced by the booming of cannon and steam whistles.
 Everybody for miles around attended the meeting and the speakers for three hours received 1ound after round of applause.
 Cochise county is in line for the Re- publican ticket. Another great meet ing was held tonight iHe'this city. It was addressed by Judge Wright and Judge Kibbey, and the scenes of last night at Bisbee were reenacted here. There will be a safe majority for the whole ticket.

 The ex-president said: "We have had, and we are stlll in the shadow of very evil times. The farmer, the mer- chant, and above all the man who was dependent upon his daily wages has felt them. All our banks have been filled with money by people who did not want to use it. What is the cause of all this? It was the uncertainty the Democratic success of 1892 introduced. The Democrats said they were going to destroy this protective system. They were going to tear down this house that sheltered us.
 From that time to this people have stood wondering, fearing, dreading what might be done on that question:"
