CHASING 4%oRsE THIEF Whose Tracks VI N<sred by inc
 Friendly Show.

N>JShn Cline, James Woodson and Jeff Adams returned on Sunday night from an exciting, but fruitless, chase CT a week after horse thieves. Four val uable race horses wer0 stolen from Cline in Tonto Basin about December I. The loss of the horses was not dis covered for twenty-four hours, when posse was organized and started in pur- suit. There were two Of the. thieves, each in charge of two horses. They were headed toword the Salt River val ley, but the pursuers knew that that fact gave them no clue to the ultimate course of the thieves. They would nat urally seek the traVeled roads of the valley and perhaps even come to Phoe- nix, whence they might start in any direction they chose without leaving trace It IS not an unusual thing for horse thief to come 100 miles out of his way to pass through Phoenix. When the pursuers reached the crossing at the Arizona dam they discovered thai they were following only one man and two horses. The other had turned aside farther back Two of the posse returned, picked up his trail and fol- lowed it into another part of the Basin. since when nothing has been heard here of the chase. The remainder of >the posse reinforced by MT. Adams at NcDowell followed the other two horses toward Phoenix. They had trouble in following the trail as soon

 kn they reached Phoenix they lost.

Notwithstanding the original and subsequent delays the pursuers gained so rapidly that last Friday they were only twelve hours behind the stolen horses Then the snow came, the hunt was over and the posse turned back. It is believed that the thiefs objective point is some unfrequented locality in Utah where he may dispose of the horses or hold them until the edge has worn off the inquiry.

Startling changes in the plan of
campaign against Spain may be
made necessary soon.
The United States may have to go
across the ocean to compel Spain to
come to terms. Naval officers high
in the service make no secret of the
fact that they expect to fight across
the waters. They point out that
this country is making quite too ex-
tensive preparations for a war to be
fought on this side only. They say
that, if We did not expect to fight
Spain later on in her own territory,
it would not be necessary to put IN
commission the great number OF
auxiliary vessels, or to secure at high
prices the transports and tugs which
the administration is buying every
