SAW 1T IN TILE REPUBLICAN,
1t seems as if The Republican were
read everywhere by everybody. A let
ter was received at this Office YESTERDAY
from H. Simpson, a jeweler of Albu-
querque, calling attention to the fol-
/ lowing telegraphic dispatch from New
Haven, Conn.,, lately printed in The
Republican: George DCnnelly of New
York city was arrested here this af-
ternOon while trying to pawn jewelry
worth $4,000. The New Haven police
are satisfied that it is stolen property
and have notified the New York police.
The articles include a lady's stick-pin,
clover leaf in shape, with three dia-
mOnd setting From the description
of some of the jewelry Mr. Simpson
suspects that he might aid the New
Haven police. His place was robbed
last june of jewelry amounting to-
many thousands of dollars, for the re-
turn of which and the capture of the
thieves he offers a reward OF $500. He
has been scanning the papers closely
for description of jewelry sought to
be. pawned in all parts of the United
States, but he never saw anything I'M
til he read the above dispatch in The
Republican. He believes that the Jew
elry found in the possession of DON
nelly is part of his late stock and he
has begun communications with the
chief of police of New Haven
FORTUNE WAITED TWENTY
YEARS. Jesse Walters, Rough
Rider, is in a way to come into a
small fortune which he knew was COM
ing to him, but didn't know where it
was and had long ago given up hope of
getting it. About twenty years ago
his father was killed in a mill at
Butte, Mont. and his mother subse-
quently married a man named
Vaughan. Walters was very young
and ON account of the remarr.age of
his mother, soon all that was remenl-
bered of his father was vague idea
that his father was heir TO an estate !
somewhere in New England, and even
that recollection grew shadowy. Some
time ago Walters was in a Phoenix
saloon and got into conversation with |
a bartender who was at Butte at the
time his father was killed and knew |
something about the inheritance. On |
received from the lar !
tender Walters wrote to parties at |
Butte and yesterday received a letter |
from a man who said that he was the |
administrator of his fathers estate, |
the principal item of which is that |
New England inheritance, amounting |
to 81 900. He writes that his admin |
has given him no end Of |
trouble and he wants to get it off his |
hands. He knew that the elder Wal /
tiers left an heir and ever since his ap- |
pointment he has been trying tC find |
him. The younger Walters stands
ready to relieve him of the burden of |
twenty years.
A NEW MIRROR. A fine French
plate mirror was placed in the Hotel
Hardwick yesterday by the pIopri
stcTs, Messrs. Teare & Orosco.
