iuss.' Whou thoy Secufeu aDOut thousand dollars worth of jewelry from H. Lemons store. have been ar rested here and large portion of the stolen property recovered. The off cers making the capture are Detect ives Hawley and Auble. The thieves give their names as James Miller and George Leander. Extradition papers have already been issued and Sheriff G. c. Ruffner is now on his way to this city after the prisoners.
 The burglars were arrested Thanks giving day. During the forenoon of that Detective Hawley and Auble were on Main street near Requena street, when they saw two men come out of q store and shake hands with James lief fries, a well known local thief. The men were strangers in the city and their familiarity with Jetfrics caused the officers to suspect that they were crooks. Accordingly, when the trio started off down the street together a moment later the detectives shadowed them to an opium joint on Main street, which they visited.
 After awhile Jeffries came out and walked down Main street to the Mug saloon, through which he passed out to Mott alley, thence down to Second street and out to Broadway, where he was again joined by the two men from whom he had parted but few minutes before. Jeffries and one of the men walked into Third street lodging house and were followed a moment later by the other of the two strangers, who was carrying an ordi- nary lunch pail in his hand. It was afterward learned that this pail con- tained the proceeds of the Arizona robbery. When the three had gone iusids athl a fourth mass whoss name the detsctives refssss so rsseal, joined ths ctksts in thS Siods sing ksass.
 Yha s1issss ths<g gsfspt ses staist way as softly as possible and reached the room where, by the voices which they could hear inside they knew the quartet which had proceeded them into the house were locked up.
 Fortunately there was crack in the door through which the detectives could see what was going on inside the room. Spread out on the bed was the plunder which had been dumped from tho innocent looking tin dinner pail.
 The cases had been removed from the works and some of them had been twisted and broken preparatory to melting up. The fourth man who had come up was dickeriug with the others for the purchase of the plunder. He was heard to say: "I have no scales here and cannot tell just how much the stuff is worth, but I'll give you S6O for it." The thieves were holding out for more and one of them said: i've have lots more of the stuff. Pay us what we ask and we'll throw in some more some other time."
 Finally one of the men came to the door and unlocking it stepped out. Just as he entered the hall the de- tectives threw their revolvers into his face and ordered "Hands up." No show of resistance was made and the four men were marched to the city jail, where their arrest was made a matter of secrecy.
 Word of the arrest was at once tele- graphed to the sheriff of Yavapai county and he left yesterday morning for this city. The property which was recovered is valued at $400. The detectives believe that the rest of the plunder was planted in Arizona and that the thieves expected to dispose of what they brought with them and then return for more. A description of the property stolen on the night when Lemons store was burglarized Is as follows:
 Fifty gold and gold-illed watches, with plush cases; thirty-four silve, watches, with and without movements thirty movements alone of American make, all sizes; 100 gold rings, plain and several neck chains. necklaces etc.
