The Albuquerque Citizen, referring
to the Gallup, New Mexico, coal mines,
says the present output of coal is but
a fraction of the tons and tons of black
diamonds that will soon be daily dug,
when the mines Of w. A. Clark are in
active operation. This gentleman is
the owner Of the best paying mines in
Montana, and the biggest copper mines
in the world, near Jerome, Arizona,
Midas like, everything he touches seems
to turn to gold, and he is one of the
richest men in the world, and he de-
serves every dollar he has made. His
millions have not been wrung from
anybody bat mother earth. He does
not rest and hoard up his wealth, but
uses it in developing industries bene-
flcial to his fellowmen. His invest
ments at Gallup will give him large re-
turns and at the same time double the
population and business of Gallup.

The Denver News evidently does not
believe that home rule will be granted
to Arizona, and gives the following
reasons, on which it bases its belief:
"The proposition to give the territories
home rule originated in Arizona. It's
purpose was to permit the people there
of to elect their own territorial officials
instead Of allowing the same to be
named by the president. This was, Of
course. a step toward the rights Of
statehood, SO much so in fact that we
believe the proposition will find little
or no favor in Washington, for the rea-
son that it deprives the administration
in power of vast amount Of patron
age. What are the rights and interests
and general welfare of the people of
the territories as compared with the
opportunity to award fat appointments
to an army of hungry politicians? This
is the way the political "push" looks
at the matter, and as a consequence it
may be expected that the Arizona home
rule proposition will be received with
cold favor"

Colonel in bed When told that Mr..

downstairs expecting to find eX-Secre-
tary of State John Hawkins. When

fore Commissioner S. r. Smith, plead
ed not guilty and by request, the hear
ing postponed until Saturday next.
The amounts with which the men are
accused of aiding are as follows:
Cooper, $23, 900; Cole, $1400; Clark,
$4,000, and Butler, $188.21. Bail was
fixed as follows: Cooper, $4,000;

The flight of the teller could not
have been at better time, He left on
the evening of May 80. The cashier,
Mr.. Bateman, was visiting at Clay
mont, and Mr. Boggs was in sole
charge of the bank. The next day
was Sunday and the following was
Memorial Day. On Tuesday morn
ing when the bank was opened Boggs
did not return.
A meeting of the directors was cal
led and it was found that the bank was
short to the amount of $107, 900.
The Stockholders held a meeting
and it was decided to reduce the capt.
tai stock from $100, 900 to $50, 900.
The American Surety Company was
on Boggs bond for $4,000, and the
private bOndsmen were George V.
Massey, the Whitaker estate and
others, amounting to $4,000 These
were paid, making the total loss $780,
900. 1t was also found that the Farm
er's Bank of Dover, had collected
checks of which there was no record
on the books of First National Bank.
OTHERS MAY BE ARRESTED.
1t is admitted by the bank officials
that there are others connected with
the case, and they will probably be ar
rested, Lawyer Brown said that as
soon as he went to work on the case he
saw that the best man to give the
much-sought-after information was
Boggs himself A short time after
the affair Mrs. BOggs went to Indiana
to live with a brother. The bank Of
ticials soon got in communication with
her, and it was settled that BOggs
would return.

The Tomato CrOp.-Mr. F. A. Moore is
receiving for Assau, Baines & Co.,
contracts for tomatoes at So per ton.
The past two years tomatoes have
proven Improbable because of partial
failure of crops. Whether this failure
lies in the condition of soil, treatment,
weather and pith worm, or San Jos g
scale is one of the unsOlved problems
of the day. In most respects the to-
matO is right in line with the peach.
The average yield of tomatoes in this
locality last year has been placed
at % tons per acre. We have wonder ed
what significance might be placed in a
remark of one of our farmers, when he
said whenever the farmers plant
reaches that point where it comes to
him through seedsmen or nurserymen
its life for profit always seems very
short" We don't anticipate however,
even though this cloud now rests over
tomato growing, will not experience
any difficulty at getting their desired
average at the increased price.

A STATEMENT ISSUED.

District Attorney VANDERBILT gave
out this statement:
"Boggs positively refuses to tell
where he has been, as he says it would
serve no good purpose. This matter
has been on his conscience, and he has
made up his mind to return and rem
edy, so far as is in his power, the
wrong he has done, and take the pun
ishment therefore, and also to prove
as well as he can by his subsequent
life and actions that he thoroughly re-
pents of his previous course. He pro-
poses to tell the story of the defalca-
tiOns, but will not prosecute any one.
That matter is en- tirely with the Gov
ernment."
The return of Boggs is due entirely
to the efforts of Harry A. Richardson,
of the bank, and Frank S. Brown, of
Philadelphia. Ever since Boggs left
they have been trying to probe the mat
ter to the bottom. The most skilled de-
tectives of the country were put on his
track, both by the bank people and the
American Surety Company, which was
on his bond. The United States and
South America were searched, but
withoutresult. When least expected he
returned voluntarily. His family were
also interested and helped to bring
about his return, advising him to come
here and have the matter settled once
and for all.
Although he had a worried look,
Boggs otherwise seemed to be in best
of health. 1t was learned that he has
not been out Of the country. He had
many good friends in the South, and
there he spent most of his time. The
truth of this statement is verified by
Boggs' swarthy complexion.
When the arrangements were finally
completed for his homecoming he
went to the house of his brother, Wal
ter ID. Boggs, in philadelphia, and was
there about two days, but his wife did
noteven known of it.
PROMINENT MEN ARRESTED.
Wien Boggs arrived in this part Of
the country he met Harry A. Richard

A GREAT SENSATION IN DELAWARE.

The announcement in the Whining
ton Sun some two months ago that
VIM. n. BOggs had seven conspirators
who aided him in looting the Ma
tiOnal Bank of Dover, of $107, 900, was
bold move that astonished men who
knew more than they dare say, but
otherwise regarded as sensational jour
nalism. But the Stn stuck to it that it
had data for every assertion it made, that
BOggs would return in due time, give
himself up for merited punishment for
the wrong he had done and tell who it
was who helped him to get away with
the money of the Bank The first
chapter in the fulfllment of this proph-
ecy was made good, as per the follow

GAVE HIMSELF UP

VIM. n. BOggs, the teller of the First
National Bank of Dover, who is accused
of taking $1O7, 900 from that atinstitution
walked into the office of Marshal Short,
in the Federal Building, and gave him
self up to the United States authorities.
On warrants sworn out by Harry A.
Richardson, president of the bank,
Amos Cole, ex-Sheriff of Kent county,
but now an insurance man of Will
mingtOn, Thomas S. Clark, real estate
dealer of Dover, Charles H. Butler, of
Dover, who is associated with Clark in
business, and Colonel Z. L. Cooper,
editor of the Milford Hcrald, formerly
of Dover, were arrested, charged with
aiding and abetting Boggs in loOting
the bank, and placed under bail for
their appearance on Saturday in the
United States Court. Other arrests of
men in high standing in Kent county
are likely to follow. Boggs declined
to offer bail and was taken to New
Castle Jail that afternoon by Deputies
ReardOn and Clark.
1t was a little after 10 o'clock when
BOggs, accompanied by his brother
Walter d. Boggs, and Francis S.
Brown, of Philadelphia, arrived from
Philadelphia and walked into the Of
flee of District Attorney Vandegrift,
who was expecting them. 1t soon be-
came known throughout the building
that Boggs had surrendered himself
and the news spread like wildfire
through that city, and people focked
to the building, hoping to get look
at him.
When the trio entered the room Mr..
Brown walked up to the marshal and
said: "Marshal Short, this is William
N. Boggs. He wishes to surrender him
self" An effort was made to see Boggs
to learn where has been since he disap-
peared from Dover on Saturday, May
