BROWN BROUGHT BACK
The Alleged nurdersr of James BslIew Arrives
From Tucson

Detective Walter Auble arrived in the
city last night at 1920 from Tucson,
Ariz., bringing with him as prisoner
Manuel Brown, the negro accused of
the murder Of young James Bellew last
month. On the arrival of the train
Brown, securely manacled, was placed
in a hack and driven to the city Jail,
where he was locked up in one of the
steel cages on the second floor
The detective. once his prisoner was
safe in Jail, stopped but few moments
before leaving for home He said that
his trip had been uneventful, but that he
was glad to have the responsibility off
his mind. There had been no hitch
about the requisition papers and he had
been well treated by the territorial Of
ficials. He started from Tucson yester-
day morning, and Brown gave him no
trouble during the trip.
Warner, the negro who was with
Brown on the night of the killing and
who has made a statement accusing his
companion of the murder, still con-
fined in another of the cages carefully
separated from BILLY the Kid" Tho

by which the surplus energy generated
by high winds is mechanically stored
and delivered to the batteries In COM
paratively uniform manner
AS 1t Is necessary that dynamo must
attain a sufficient velocity to give an
electro-motive force sufficient to over
come the back electro-motive force of
the battery, it was therefore necessary
to devise some means of preventing the
current from the storage battery pass
ing back to the dynamo when not need
ed.
This was accomplished by device
which, when the electric motive force of
the dynamo rose to given point, would
connect the circuit thereby sending II
to the storage battery, and again open
ing the circuit when, owing to decreas-
ing speed of the dynamo, the electEo
motive force falls below that of the
storage battery.
In every way this windmill electric
plant has proved itself a success, under
even the most varying conditions. The
lights in the house, stable, and those
scattered about In different parts of
the estate burn as steadily as any cleo
trio lights, maintaining an unvarying
uniformity, no matter whether there is
a gale blowing or a dead calm.
The entire plant Is as nearly self-act-
ing as 1t is possible to make machinery,
absolutely no attention being neces
sary except once in two weeks, when it
is cleaned and oiled
The first cost is practically all the
expense, and following this example, the
time is not far distant when private cleo
trio light plants, operated by wind. will
be the property Of every owner of
country estate, when a large number of
lights are desirable

BARR BARRED MARRIAGE
A Susceptible Widow Who Was Sadly
Taken ia
Her Inten led Husband Fails to Show Up, but
Gets Away With Her Trunk
and CiamoadJ

On Wednesday evening Robert L..
Barr was arrested in Spring street
lodging house by Detective j. j. Hawley
and given a cell in the city Jail charged
with buncoing o Mrs. Jane Read, max
ing way With a trunk belonging to her,
besides spending some 1925 of her money,
all while leading her to believe that she
was about to doff her widowhood and
become his wife.
Mrs. Read is a tall well-preserYel
woman of about 80, and came to this city
some days ago from Cripple Creek Col,
in company with Barr. Last Monday
Barr engaged rooms in West Sixth
street lodging house for lady whom he
stated was about to become his wife. 1t
appears that the couple met in the min
ing town about six months ago, and
came to the coast together, intending tu
be married in Los Angeles and then pro
ceed to Santa Barbara, where Barr
claimed he owned u little place which he
generously decided to his prospective
spouse.
On Monday evening Barr called Tor
the widow and took her out to supper,
and was on hand the next day to invite
her to lunch. AT that time it was ar
ranged that the marriage ceremony
Mrs. Reads rooms. All preparations
were made by that lady, but at the APP
pointed hour the bridegroom came not.
After waiting a couple OF hours Mrs
Read became suspicious and, remem-
bering that when they arrived in Los
Angeles Barr had retained the checks to
her baggage, saying 1t could be left at
the depot as they would be in the city
but a couple Of days, posted off to the
station and found that cne of her trunks
had been called for and taken away
that same day
This confirmation of her fears only
served to bring to her mind another in
cident which occurred in Cripple Creek
some time ago. One day Barr found her
diamond earrings in a box Of station
cry and took them away. returning s,n
hour later and chiding her for careless
ness In leaving her jewels around in
such manner saying he had taken
them as joke to teach her to be more
careful in the future. He placed tn,
gems in her ears. where she had con-
tinually worn them since. Seeking the
advice OF jeweler the earrings We're
subjected to scrutiny and found to be

removed.
Before they left Cripple Creek she had
given Barr 1925 in money with which to
buy bill Of exchange on this city He
had returned to her draft which look
ed regular, but of which she was also
suspicious after the revelations which
had already been made. On Wednesday
morning Mrs. Read sought the Assist
