Negro Rapist Returned to California.

's'~ '>eSsSs V~sSs"sS " SeusH nts.
 Officer Frank T. Johnson, of Sacra- mentO, Cal, arrived here last Saturday morning and departed Monday morn- ing, taking with him James Shuck, the negro who is accused of raping a l4- year-Old girl of Sacramento. Shuck was captured in Williams about two weeks ago and brought here until neces- sary arrangements could be made to send him back to California. Deputy Sheriff Buggeln had his description a couple of weeks before he landed his man, and then it was only by the mer- est chance that he located him. The description that was sent was far from perfect something on the order of ''All Niggers Look Alike To Me'-but part of it described bald spot about the size of quarter on the negro's head, caused by a scar. Buggeln had about come to the conclusion that the man was not in Williams, when he dropped into the Grand Canyon hotel. The negro porter was at work: something seemed to worry him, for he took of his hat and commenced scratching his head. Immediately the deputy espied the peculiar bald spot and placed the man under arrest. He proved to be the right party. and is by this time safe behind.the bars in Sacramento.

 Asylum.
 The recent finishing of the dining room at the insane asylum increases the capacity of that institution sufficient to accommodate sixty more patients This will probably be sufficient for the needs of the Territory for several years to come.
 Dr. Hamblin, the superintendent. stated Wednesday that he was not aware that the building at Flagstaff, originally built for reform school pur- poses, was to be finished up for an in- sane asylum.
 Division of the number of patients. he said. would have the effect of nearly doubling the cost of maintaining them. Both institutions would be com pelled to have medical staffs, where one now does the work. The same rule would apply through all the various grades of officers"
 It is well known that the Territory needs u reform school, and although no one will say what the final disposition of the Flagstaff building will be. local peace officials generally express the hope that it will be devoted to its Origi- nal purpose. .Ph9nix Gazette.

MAKES GOOD RECORD,
Fire Departments Quick Response to
Alarm.

A fire on Cleveland avenue yesterday
afternoon developed remarkable efficiency
of the District fire department in respond
Ing to alarms. Commissioner Wight who
has immediate charge of the fire depart
ment, was called upon today by the man
who turned in the alarm, Mr.. LaRue, who
stated that he called for the purpose of
commenting the promptness of the depart
ment in the matter. Mr.. LaRue said he
pulled the box (239), about a minute after
o'clock, and in view of a recent complaint
relative to the alleged slowness of the de-
partment in responding to fire on Water
street, he pulled his wat III out for the pur-
pose of timing the arrival of the first COM
pany.
Box 239 is located at the corner of 18th
and V streets, and the nearest company of
the fire department is engine company No.
Z, located on street between 9th and 10th
nearly seven squares distant. This COM
pany, which is in charge of Foreman Frank
wagner, Is first due at box 239, and Mr..
IaRue stated to Mr.. Wight that 1t arrived
at the box just inside of two and half
minutes after ne pulled the box. AS the
box had to be first recorded in the Office
of the fire alarm service before the opera
tor there could sound it in the various
houses of the department.. at least one min
ute necessarily elapsed after the pulling
of the box before Foreman Wagner and
his company received notice. So according
to Mr.. LaRue's watch, the company was
ute and a half later, having made the run
OF nearly seven squares, including two
turns, in that time, and established a fine
record for the department.
