parently Of lncenQlary Orlgln, as luul- cated by half burned papers and traces i of kerosene oil found about. A man | named Coleman is held on suspicion.
 Some persons are making a habit of stealing horses tied to the rack in front of the court house. During the past two weeks two horses have been taken from there Thursday night J. H. Burrows hitehed his horse and cart there, but when he started to return for home his outfit had been stolen. A diligent search by the officers yesterday failed to reveal the rig. Some person will carry his thieving propensities too far and will fall into the clutches of the law.
 Isom Ayers, the colored hootblack, is again in trouble He has been at his old tricks of stealing. This time he is accused of stealing a diamond pin and other articles from Dick Ar hold. He was arrested and will be tried by Justice Johnstone today. Ayers has been up a. couple of times here. A year ago he stole a stove from the residence of General A. J. Sampson He was later found in possession of a gold headed cane belonging to Frank Cox. Previous ito his coming to Phoe- nix he enjoyed an unsavory reputa- tion in Ell Paso.
 The action of the gang of hoodlums who tried to break up the meeting of the gold Republicans Thursday night is to be deplored. The disturbance is laid to the chairman of the Democratic hrr& r1a<, knows the gentleman is fully aware that he is not capable of fostering an act so mean and contemptible. It was purely the action of hoodlums, prompt ed solely by a spirit of mischief. Such an action is a disgrace to any com munity and every speaker should be accorded a respectful hearing. If per- sons object to the sentiments expressed by the orator, let them quietly leave the place as gentlemen should do.

 She told the prisoners that she had been incarcerated in jail for no reason
 whatever, but during her forced con- inement she had plenty Of time for
 reflection and decided upon her release
 to henceforhh battle against sin. FTlhe
 prisoners listened respectfully and
 joined heartily in the singing. Sev-
 eral promised to lead better lives upoI
 their release from jail.
 '"Hhere is a closer parallel between
 the conditions now and in 1860," saiC
 a prominent business man yesterday 'than many persons are willing to ad } init. Of course we do not expect war , but the very same forces that were
 opposing the war and opposing Lin l coin in 1860 are now opposing Bryan The same influences that dictated tn t Dred Scott decision dictated the in l come tax decision. The same condi
 tion of forces that favored the main tenance of peace, even under the shad 7 ow of a great National wrong, ar , now with the first great issue raise
 since the war. Even the treatment ac corded MT. Bryan by the Yale student
 has parallel in the mobs that howle down Lloyd Garrison, the great abo : litionist."
