KIDNAPPING AND ROBBERY
CASE SIMILAR TO JAMES CAMP
BELLS EXPERIENCE.
\ Millionaire in the Clutches of Two
People-Kept Constantly Under the
Influence of Powerful Drug.

MONTREAL, March A. million
aire real estate dealer from New
Hampshire is alleged to have been held
prisoner in this city by a couple who
passed as Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton of New
York, but who are said to be the Rev.
and Mrs. Richardson.
Three months ago the Richardson's
rented furnished house in this city
from william w. Squire. With them,
when they took possession of the
house, was the man whom they are
suspected of having kidnapped. The
police refuse to disclose the name of
this third person of the Richardson
household, but he is described as
small, dark and about fifty years of
age, and it is alleged that he con-
trolled immense interests in the north
ern part of New Hampshire.
= Richardson is large, smooth-shaven
and of clerical aspect. His wife is a
medium-sized, handsome woman of
about thirty-five.
The man they are alleged to have
in their keeping was, it is asserted,
constantly under the influence Of a
powerful drug administered by the
Richardson's. who, while his will power
was broken by the drug, caused him to
sign checks for large sums of money,
which they cashed. An agent of the
millionaire came here about two weeks
ago to find him. The police say this
agent saw the Richardson's, but they
had their victim well hidden, and told
the agent that they did not know any
thing about him.
The trio disappeared few hours be-
fore the detectives finally decided to
swoop down upon the house.
The detectives are divided in their
| opinion as to where the mysterious
| trio have gone. Some think they have
gone to England, and some think they
are hiding somewhere about Montreal
but they fear the Richardson's may dc
away with their victim.

! what may be called home ruie law for Arizona Under the proposed law the people of that terri tory, without having any other representation in congress than they now possess. would be
 permitted to elect their governor and other ter
 ritorial officers.
 bill for a law of this kind was introduced in
 behalf of Utah just before the state was admit
 ted, and il probably would have been passed if the enabling act had not taken its place. The people of Arizona feel that while statehood may te far in the future for them, they should be permitted to govern themselves in the way pro- posed at that time for Utah, and which would give them many of the advantages of statehood yet without representation in congress other than that which they now have through their delegate.
 There seems to be no ground whatever to ob- ject to such law except on the part of politi- clans who may think theywould have a better chance of appointment by the president than of election by the people. Eastern people surely c lnnot Obisct. It docs away with their chief ground of opposition to the admission of new states in the Far West which is that admission would increase the strength of the West, and of the free coinage element in con- sresS. There would be no such increase in this ease. There would be no senators and no rep The territory woeld have no vote n congress. It could not interfere in matters of national Legislation any more than it can now, md at present it's delegate has 70 vote.
 It would be nothing more than simple justice o give the people of Arizona e right to elect heir own officers. There is no reason why so n elligent community should be ruled by men appointed by a power situated two thousand niles away from their own seat of government. Congress should fall in with the idea of giving he people this much horne rule, and Eastern op 1onenIs of statehood for Arizona should accept t as q means of flushing in a measure the de nand for a state government

THANKSGIVING.

We close our places of business in obedience to time-honored custom that has been handed down to us from the disciples of Milton and Cromwell, | who landed on the rockbound shores of Plymouth and planted the seeds of an empire consecrated to human liberty and freedom of thoughts. And in the perpetuation of this historical observ- ance, let us ask the question, what have we for which we should ask the Lord to make us truly thankful?
 Let us answer our own question as quick as breath will permit. We can thank God that the honor Of the coun- try has been preserved and our credit made stronger than ever; that our in- dustries are rallying to their pristine prosperity; that sectionalism has been stamped out by the better sense of our people, both at the North and in the South, and that one flag floats supreme over reunited people. speaking one lane uage and wcrshiplng one Creator.
 So our readers can go to church and listen to sermons fitting for the obser. vsnce of day founded by the he roes of Concord and Bunker Hill. The proud organ. with it's ponderous swell, shall uplift the hearts and voices of our people in chords of praise to Him who holds the destinies oI nations in the hollow of his head.
 And in the quiet ssnctity of the home when the smoking turkey gracss the family boeri with no absentees from .e Eell spread table. while the uowncast eyes oI mother anu daughters vie with the hushed prattle of the boys Tn doing reverence to the occasion, let the head of the family upleft his voice in grati ude to the Beautiful Father above and Praise God from Whom all blessings flow"
