A WARNING TO PARENTS
The Unpleasant Things The Police
See at Night.

! The Republican has from time tc
| time called the attention of its read
ers to the conduct of a coterie' of bad
boys and a number of girls who are in
fair way to become equally as bad
if their parents and guardians do not
keep closer watch on them. Wednes-
day night a policeman got his eye on
a group of three or four couples that
seemed to meet by a tacit understand
ing on the corner of First and Wash
ington streets. They hastily sepa-
rated, the boys going throug a saloon
and again meeting the girls on back
street. The officer followed them but
they were SO numerous the party
finally separated and got away from
him. But he saw sufficient to salts
fly himself that the girls especially
needed looking after by some guar
dian. Two of them were in short
dresses, while one or two of the boys
were men Sc far as stature is con-
cerned. The identity Of some of them
is known and the officers have got
them on their list
The principal object of publicly SEN
tioning this occurrence is to further
impress the necessity of parents look
ing after their children. The officers
very often notice suspicious transac-
tons in which the parties interested
taar good regulations. They are per-
Eaps harming no one but themselves
at the present time and it places an
officer in a delicate position. If ar
rests are made those arrested are dis
graced. If not arrested thy will event
naIly disgrace themselves. If aprents
are personally WarL.ed they too often
believe it is a case of mistaken identity
or become iEcensed at the imputa-
tions. They will believe the stories of
the youngsters in preference to any
one else. Again, it is hard, even if ar
rests are made to make case against
them. They cannot be called Migrants,
yet it is the head under which older
people and persons without homes
would come when guilty of the same
offenses. 1t is enc of those things
parents must assist in or suffer the
pangs of broken hearts later on.

a BURGLAR CAPTURED
The piunderer of n. c. nann'S House
in Jail at Prescott.

Sheriff Murray yesterday afternoon
received a telegram from the chief of
police, S. A. Prince of Prescott, say
| ing he had captured the man who
burglarized the house of H. C. Mann,
near Peoria last Friday night, and had
recovered a part of the plumber.
Sheriff Murray left last night for
Prescott and will return with the bur-
glar tonight. There was about $500
worth CT jewelry including two gold
watches stolen. Besides the jewelry
there was $50 in cash, none of which
MI. Mann may hope to recover, even
If the prisoner should have $4,000 in
his possession. a gentleman who has
been connected with the court house
for several years says that he does not
remember that a cent Of stolen money
has ever been recovered, unless the
thief gave it up voluntarily. His law
yer always get it, if there is any. If
the loser could identify his money he
could recover it as we'll as any other
property, but unfortunately, a piece or
bill of any denomination is so much
like all other pieces and bills of the
same denomination that the proof of
identity which deYOlveS upon the
loser cannot be produced.
There is no such thing as substitu-
ton in the recovery of stolen property.
If man has stolen a calf that fdenti-
cal calf is the one which must be re-
covered, though the thief may have
fifty other calves. So if a dollar has
been stolen that is the only dollar that
can be restored to the loser, and gen.
nit that it is the dollar. Bills in
tended to be stolen, left in drawers
for the catching of dishonest en-
ployes or sent in decoy letters are ire
quently marked. Such bills can be
identified and recovered. There is
also a number on every bill which
might be a mark of identification if
the loser had taken the trouble to
make a record of it,

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Arizona Players invited TO New
nexiCo Contest.

During the New Mexico territorial
fair at Albuquerque there will be a
lawn tennis tournament for the
championship of the southwest
Among the prizes to be awarded are
the following:
A handsome championship cup to be
awarded to the winner in the singles,
but before the trophy becomes his
permanent property he must success
fully defend his title against the win
ner in the tournament of the follow
ing year. Sterling silver loving cups
will be given as prizes in the mems
mixed doubles. These become the
permanent property of the winner of
this falls tournament.
Letters have been received in this
city urging local champions to take
advantage of the opportunity to win
fame and favor 1t is desired to
make the tournament sufficiently sue
cessful to warrant a series of similar
events, and the tennis enthusiasts of
New Mexico feel sure from the inter
est at present awakened that the re-
suit will be satisfactory. 1t is hoped
that Arizona tennis players will take
up the matter in earnest and add to
their sporting reputation earned ii
playing the national game, by bring
ing home a few tennis championships.
All entries should be in by September
18th. Any further information de-
sired can be had by corresponding
with C. w. Ward OF Albuquerque, who
has charge of the tennis tournament.

STRAIGHT FROn SKAGUAY
David Turner's Idea of the Golden
North.

David Turner, she court house jan
itor, returned yesterday from a trip
covering several months, among the
gold fields of Alaska. The few re-
manning flowers in the plaza bright
ened up at his appearance and the
grass took on a little livelier green.
Mr.. Turner went north for the pur-
pose of visiting the A.tlin district
rather than any other. His opinion of
the northern gold regions is rather
more conservative than any other yet
brought to Phoenix by any one who
had Travelled in them. He does not
believe, as a majority of The people of
the United States, that the whole
thing is "a great frigid fraud. Every
district yet explored undoubtedly con-
tains great wealth, of which only an
atom has been discovered. The gold
of The world is there, but Mr.. Turner
believes the time has passed for the
poor man to make a strike. He may
make one, but the chances are as Sc
verely against him as if he were striv-
ing for the capital prize of a lottery.
The lottery is an infinitely better in
ve-Iament It doesn't cost ene-hund-
redth as much to get into it, it involves
no physical hardship and suffering,
the capital prize is as great as one
could hope to get out Of an Alaskan
Klondyke or Atlin mine, and the op-
posing numbers in the lottery are no
more numerous than the chances en-
countered by the northern individual
miner.
But if he is rich enough to
go into the Klondyke or any of
in
months and perhaps years without an
income; to make investments from
which nothing viii probably result,
and 30 do development work on mines
which may prove worthless, he VIII
probably come out at last richer than
he went in. For the gold is there and
very little of it has been found.
A great many men are making
money. Most of them were among the
original discoveries and a few of them
drew capital prizes. One Of them is
Professor Lippe, the owner Of the
richest claim in the Klondyke. Eleven
horses were required to carry out his
gold of this year alone. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that a horse can't
carry as big load over those north
ern storm swept and avalanche paved
passes as he could, say on the Tempe
road.
The next richest man and, claim
owner lis Captain Anderson, for many
years seafaring man, who had picked
up very 15,atle knowledge of mining on
the quarterback of Swedish vessels. i
A couple of years ago he found himself
in Dawson with several thousand dol |
lars and jag, the beginning of which |
had already become ancient history |
and tradition. One morning the cap
tain found himself hunting for d dol |
lar to buy a drink. He vas without |
cent, but he had several deeds to |
mining claims which various persons |
told him were regular and had passed |
in consideration of many thousands |
of dollars. He had bought them from !
persons while he was in |
a trance the day before.
The captain tore his hair and swore |
in jerky Scandinavian. He couldn t |
get back to the sea, so he decided to |
engage in mining. He was for some |

THE COBRE GRANDE
Something of the Story of the
Company'S Troubles.

Mr.. Norton Chase of the law firm CT
Logan, Demond & Hardy of New
York, who has been in Phoenix for
several days on behalf of certain
stockholders in the Cobre GTande
Copper company, has gene to Bisbee
on the same business. Mr.. Chase rep
resents the stockholders who are op-
posed to the Costello interests. It is
reported that Messrs. Green and
Mitchell have notified the Phoenix
National bank that they have with

MODJESKA TONIGHT.

The historical period during which the
action of Modjeska's new play Marie
Antoinette,' takes place, is from l1T TO
1893, a little more than a hundred years
ago, or long enough to put the terrible
events of those revolutionarT days INTO
a comprehensive perspective. 1t was writ
ten expressly for Modjeska by MI. Clinton
Stuart, who, by the employment OF a
prologue, is able to contrast Artoinettef !;
joyous, careless life at her famous re-
treat of Little Trianon,' with the cruel
and tragic incidents of the latter part OF
her career. He aimed at writing a purely
historical play, and therefore has made
liberal use of the most reliable historians
and writer's of memoir. instead OF at
tempting anything of an imaginative ma
ture. The characters introduced range
from Lafayette on the one hanG to Mira
beau, the great ~uemagosue. on the other.
From a general standpoint the subject of
marie Antoinette' is the downfall of the

COMPLAINTS ISSUED.

AS a result of the glove contest which
took place between Ike Hayes. the colored
pusilist of Helena, and Jack Lafontise of
letic association. at 800 North Main street,
issued a complaint this morning charging
the principals with INDUCING in a prize
fight. and filed it in Justice Nichols court.
The document is quite explicit. 1t states
that on the night of October 26, Ike Hayes
and Jack I4afontise did wilfully, unlaWfully
and wrongfully engage in and promote as
principals a certain boxing and smuggling
match with gloves, which said boxing and
smuggling match was not with soft gloves
in any gymnasium for exercise.
During the last few months several of
these so-called glove exhibitions have been
given in the rooms of the association. and
prior to each one postal cards have been
their presence. The card sent out for the

lowing:

Given the Decision Over Ike
Hayes Last Night.
Ii WAS A CLEVER FIGHT
Inc Men Fought Hard But Were
Fresh at the End of the
1O-R0und Go.

The mill between Jack Lafontise Of Ana
conda and Ike Hayes, the colored pusilist
OF Helena. before the Butte Athletic assoc
citation. was the best and cleverest exhibi-
tlon OF the manly art of self defense that
mas yet been given under the auspices of
the association. At the end of the tenth
round Referee Jim Hooper awarded the
fgnt to I4afontise. The men were fairly
fresh ana the crowd was anxious to see
the hight continued. but the pugilists had
slgned articles for only Il ten-round so,
and refused to continue. Up to this time
Lafontise had had a shade the best of the
night, but even in the last round the smil-
ing black man was game and forced the
lighting. Lafontise was the freshest Of
the two men at the end of the fight. He is
more agile, but his blows, with the single
exception of a left-handed jab, of which
he makes a speciality, lacked steam. His
left-handed jab is a straight blow, hand
from the shoulder. and he landed frequent
~ on the Negroes smiling face with disas-
trous effect.
Hayes fought for his opponents wind,
landing frequently in the neighborhood Of
the solar pieXus. especially during the first
two or three rounds, when he fought much
the better of the two. AS the battle pro-
ceeded Lafontise paid more attention to
covering this portion of his anatomy.
Every one of the ten rounds was a hard
fought contest. and during the earlier
rounds Hayes taxed his opponents endur-
ance to the utmost. About the sixth round
Hayes began to grow tired, while Lafon-
tise freshened up. In the tenth. however,
Hayes freshened up and was fighting hard
and furiously when the gong sounded. and
While the decision was proper, Hayes was
good for ten more rounds, and ii is qlles-
tionable whether or not the white man
could have put him out.
The preliminary four-round bout was be-
tween Jack Larney. the ''Terrible Swede,N
and Jack Rowlett, and was an entertaining
exhibition of pugilistic humor.
