IT MUST BE WILLIAMS
Wanted in Oxnard for d Transaction
In OpaIS and Beer.

o. W. Williams, a printer, who
worked in this territory for a great
many years and is especially we'll
known in Phoenix, is wanted in OK
nard Cal, for an extensive dealing in
precious stones. He is being widely
advertised for by the authorities of
that center of the beet sugar industry.
1t is charged that a little more than a
week ago he broke into a trunk and
stole from it 400 Mexican opals and a
lot of turquoise pebbles, all together
valued at 5000. The commercial value
of the opal, which has heretofore been
regarded as a gem of great price, is an
inferior kind of stone worth less than
so cents apiece. The advertisement
contains a physical description of Will
1iams by which lie would be recognized
a mile off. It also recites a character
istic of him with reference to beer,
which is easily recognizable by those
who know him well. Williams was
born in the state of Pennsylvania, with
a beer thirst whose requirements he
has never been able to fully meet in
the fifty years he has lived. Williams
doesn't look as If h.. We're more than
thirty-five, but he has been in a state
fancy, so that the only sign of advanc-
ing age he holds out is his slightly gray
hair. Hair is not a tissue, hence he
has not been able to saturate it.
After obtaining these opals, whose
loss was not Immediately discovered by
their late owner, Williams remained in
Oxnard for couple of days negoti-
ating opals for beer. He was ably as
sisted by another printer by the name
of Tracy. In those two days opals be-
came a legal tender among saloons,
and the sentiment in favor of free
coinage which fingered in a small de-
gree about Oxnard wholly subsidized.
There seemed to be enough gold and
opals, to say nothing of treasury notes
and other forms of currency, to carry
on the commerce of the community.
For two days the opal, beer and beet
sugar trade ran neck and neck in OK
nard. He was last seen there on Oc-
tober 20.
Williams came to Arizona, as a sol
der good many years ago and was
stationed at Fort Apache. The army
canteen at that post was soon found to
be inadequate, and as the war depart
ment without inquiring into its needs
refused to increase its capacity, they
were reluctantly compelled to let Will
liams go.
His hair and mustache are described
in the Oxnard CIRCULAR as dark. When
he left here both We're red, but lapse Of
time, change of beer or the defective
vision of the Oxnard authorities might
easily accomplish the phenomenon of a
change in the color Of hair. However,
that doesn't matter. Williams can be
recognized anywhere, even in the Phil
ippine islands, by his desire for more
beer.

A NEW STORY

There has been a good deal said
lately about Scoville and the things he
has done or is going to do. Still bust
ness keeps up and Scoville says now
that that is what he is on earth for.
He continues to do plumbing and
am-fitting just as though nothing
had happened. He will take a $4,000
job as quick as any and he has several
thousand dollars worth of work
booked ahead. That is just the way
ScoVille is. He will take all the work
he can get and do it right and quick.
He is better equipped to do work, too,
than any firm in Arizona and he must
get jobs to keep the shop going.
When you hear about Scoville just put
it down that he is doing business. If
you get time call and see him.

NEW HOSPITAL PROJECT
a fIoVe for the Relief of Visiting
GnVaIidS.

! Quietly and without ostentation a
few good women of this city have inter-
ested themselves in a matter which
should commend itself to the citizens of
Phoenix and enlist their hearty sup
port. The project referred to is the
establishment of a non-sectarian hos
pital for the benefit of invaIids either
resident or nonresident who have no
homes or friends in the valley and who
are perhaps short of the necessary
funds for securing comfortable quar-
tiers and good medical attendance.
Many local residents of limited means
when overtalzen by accident or disease
ara situated as above described and
it is a notorious fact that many who
arrive during the winter season for the
beneficial effects of the climate, even
when they have money cannot secure
desirable quarters at reasonable rates.
For this situation none can be blamed,
as those who have their homes here
naturally do not care to turn their
houses into winter hospitals, however
strong their sympathies may be with
the unfortunates. Yet invalids are in
vited to come and some provision
should be made for their aceommoda-
ton.
AS stated above, the ladies referred to
have undertaken to supply this long
felt want. They have already done a
great deal of preliminary work, having
gone so far as to secure an option on
a certain piece of property adjacent to
~
and a good house the construction of
which is very appropriate for the pur-
poses of a hospital They have received
promises of liberal donations from vari-.
Gus citizens for its purchase and main
tenance but the work is yet in it's in
fancy.
For the purpose of acquainting the
public with what has been done and
for devising ways and means for fur
Their carrying out the plans a mass
is called for Tuesday night at
the court house at Z o'clock and it is
hoped the room will be filled
with both men and women who are
charitably inclined either with their la
bors or their means. The plan will be
fully discussed and measures taken to
place the hospital in practical
service at once if the pres
ent option is taken advantage of.
It is designed to run it on the plan of
caring for those who desire the accom-
modations offered. If they are able to
pay for their entertainment they will
be charged, of course, for their privi- !
leges, but if they are unable to pay full
rates they will be accommodated With I
necessary attention at the expense of /
the institution and its management. |
These, of course, are details for fur |
Their consideration, but the work is a
noble one and should be encouraged. /
If it does not appeal to ones charity /
there is a selfish view to take of it /
which is that once a place of this kind 1
is provided it will relieve every resi- I
dent to some extent of the moral re- /
sponsibility of spending his time and |
means for the benefft-of unfortunates
Who drift his way.

FORGED TINE CHECKS
e. r. Beard Arrested for FIoodir 9
the Town with Them.

E. R. Beard was arrested yesterday
morning for flooding Phoenix with
forged time checks on the Phoenix
Railway company. He cashed one for
SIS at Goldberg Bros. clothing store
and another for $50 at McNamara's sa-
loon. The forgery was quickly discov-
cred and complaint was made in JUS
tice Johnstone's court, from which
warrant for his arrest was issued. 1t
was served by Deputy Sheriff Murray,
who found Beard sloughing off the
proceeds of his forgery at a faro lay
out. He will be given a preliminary
examination tomorrow.
Beard is the man who created a
slight sensation some time ago by dis
closing that the mains of the Phoenix
Water company had been tapped by
the Gardiner Water company. He told
where the connections had been made
and on investigation it was found that
they actually existed. He related
many other things calculated to show
that ]. j. Gardiner had directed the
connections to be made, and altogether
since he had been in the employ of
the Gardiner company for a long time
the affair had a rather bad face.
Mr.. Gardiner denied all knowledge
of the connections and said that they
must have been made by Beard to put
him in a hole. From the fact that the
pipe leading from the water company's
main had no check valve in it, it APP
peared that whoever had done it had
not the interest of the Gardiner plant
fully at heart since the advantage to
the Gardiner SvCtPrl1 demanded wholly
upon the relative pressures of the two
systems and the water might run out
or in. Then it was discovered that
Beard was not an estimabIe character
and that he had had trouble with
Gardiner and had for some time been
trying to get employment with the
opposition company.
