sent into Peach Springs after sup ply of dynamite and cartridges. This dynamite was aflerward found on the body of the bandit killed by Express Messenger Summers. The box containing the ca, trldges pur- chased hy Marvin was found in Thompson's cabin and identified by the clerk who sold it to Marvin, the Identification being made complete by the recognition of the cost-mxrk on the box. Some of the dynamite was also found in the cabin.
 On the body of the dead rObber were the coat and vest stolen from the cabin of John Ayers and shirt stolen frem George l.. Selsor, whose cabins h ad been broken into in theil absence, Il few nights before. The clothing was identified by these gentlemen, as was also some camp utensils and pro- visions found cached about mile from Thompson's cabin.
 These circumstances led to the arrest at Peach Springs on last Thursday-three days after the r"l'- bery of Abe Thompson and Love (alias Kid) Marvin on the temporary charge of burglary. They were brought here Friday morning in charge of Deputy Sheriff w. c. Bayless and Detective Cade Selvy, aud lodged in the county jail.

Thursdays Arrests.

Bally Creighton, .'Kid" Marvin and Abe Thompson. together with Jim Parker, had for several years terror ized the law-abiding rauchmen in the vicinity of Peach Springs and kept up 2 continual round of pilfering and petty stealing, frequently breaking into the cabins of the ranchmen there- abouts.
 Shortly before the train robbery a number of cabins were burglarized and large part of the stolen stuff cached naar Abe Thompson's cabin, where the headquarters of the gang appeared to be.
 The supposition is that just before the plans for the robbery were consul mated Bally Creighton withdrew from the gang and skipped the country. A stranger took the place of Creighton and the plans for tho robbery were proceeded with. Young Marvin was

The Danger of Early Rising.

Yet another venerable superstition has met it's doom at the hands of the irrppressibie "scientist," says the London World. Until now people have been content to accept, if not to act upon the theory that early rising in conjunction. of course, with cor respondingly early habit ot going t" bed-is conducive not only to wealth and wisdom, but also to health. h. d eed, familiar rh, med adage protests as much in so many words. But. like many another primitive belief, it has been ruthlessly shattered by the scien' tific icOnOclasts, one of whom now claims to have discovered that people who get up early go mad much more readily than others. In support of his theory he points to the undonbted prevalence of insanity amoug those engaged in agricultural pursuits. Though it is sad to see a tune honored doctrine thus exploded, one is disposed to favor the new opinion at the cx- pense of the old. In any case, there can be no harm in being on the safe side, and, after all, it is so easy not to ret up early.

an outlaw with murder in his heart and the Indians did not propose to take any chances of being ambushed.
 All Friday afternoon the posse kept up the chase and camped that night at cabin about mile from the june ture of Diamond creek canyon and the Gran Canyon of the Colorado.
 Saturday morning the Indians set out. accompanied by John Rogers. following the Diamond canyon down to the Colorado river. Here they caught sight of Parker, who was some distance ahead, proceeding down the river. They followed him for fully fifteen miles. when they caught up with him, and before Parker was aware of being followed at all four Winchesters were leveled at him al close range and he was compelled to surrender.
 Rogers and the Indians with their prisoner camped Saturday night under 2 shelteriug wall of the Canyon. Sometime during the night. while the watchers were asleep or of their guard, Parker jumped up. grabbed q Winchester and firing few shots at Rogers and the Indians, who fed in the darkness. started up stream, mak- Ing for the Diamond creek. canyon, in- tending no doubt to proceed south tu secure horse and also learn what had besohs oi Ils paftnsf:
 The Iudians returBed direct to the posse's cainp near tho mouth of Diamond canyon. reported the escape and quit the camp.
 Sheriff Cameron left at once Sunday norning) for Peach Springs, and reaching there telegrsphed for the bloodhouuds brlongiug to the Terri torial Prison at Yuma. It was sup posed that Parker had started down the river and it was Sheriff Cameron's plan to cut across the country with the hounds m a northwesterly direction from Peach Springs and head off the desp-rado should he attempt to leave the Canyon and go south. The posse was instructed tOwatch the river at the intersection ot Diamond creek apd thus prevent him escaping by that route.
 Monday noon, as Sheriff Ruffner was pairolliug Diamond creek toward the Grand Canyon he noticed the figure of man wsding up stream from the Col. orsdo river. Corcealing himself, he waited until the man. who proved to be Parker, had passed by on his way sp the stream, and when abreast of Deputy Sheriff Martin Bugglin and Will Riley, who were concealed near the bank of the creek. and who had previously received signal from Ruff ner, the command rang out from the Yavapai Sheriff to Halt m Parker did not halt and was about to fire, when shot from Riley and Bugglin caused him to throw up his hands.

 John Rogers was placed under arrest for abctting Parker's escape from the Indians. it being alleged also that he was implicated with Parker in 8 number of other shady transactions.
 No small amount of credit is due the intrepid posse, who followed the robber through rough and perilous country for six days, going without sleep and suffering from the cold, to an extent that would have resulted fatally 10 less hardy men.
