CAMPAIGN AGAINST CRIME
Punishment for Murder and Cattle
stealing In the North.

Sheriff wattr' IND Deputy Sheriff
yesterday morning from Yuma, wher,
they took eight prisoners. One O
them was George White. who hkt
been taken from Yuma as a with es
of cattle stealing. They were w. A
Burke, sentenced to five years; An
tonic Baca, four years; Rudolfo Bald
three years; Mariana Candelaria
eighteen months: Elaino Correa. two
years; Jim Childers. two years, and
| George Vineyard. eighteen months.
They have started a new kind of cam
paign against cattle thieves. Hereto
fore it has been next to impossible to
secure convictions even in cases in
which there was neither moral nor le-
gal doubt of guilt. There was one man
who was indicted for cattle stealing
by every grand jury in Apache county
for thirteen years. He always es-
capped conviction either by acquittal or
by a disagreement of the jury. 1t be-
came a laughing matter with him and
his operations were open and notori-
GUS He was indicted by the last
grand jury, furnished bonds and took
things easy. He was a man of dis
cernment and when the last term of
court was convened and he saw the
personnel of the trial jury, he quickly
realized that times had changed. Two
hours before the time set for the call
ing of his case he disappeared and has

Sheriff Wattron will have a hanging
to perform. The subject will be George
who murdered a former Santa
lie Pacific section foreman named Nc
Queen, three or four months ago.
Smiley had been a section hand under
who was succeeded by an
other boss. There was a misunder-
standing about his time. Mcqueen
could not give it to him and his sue
cessor did not have the record
Smiley, without giving the boss and
ex-boss time to straighten out the
tangle, got into quarrel with Nc
Queen and while the latter was walk
ing away from him shot him in the
back. The killing was aggravated by
the circumstance that McQueen's wife
had just gone blind and that three
small children were left penniless and !
helpless.
Smiley pleaded guilty at the trial. or
ried to plead guilty. That is, he did |
lot attempt a defense. Judge Sloan I
.arefully inquired into the character
If the crime and decided that nothing |
ess than the stretching of Smiley's
leck would fit it. There will also be
hanging in Apache, the adjoining
ounty.

PINNEY & ROBINSON.

board of supervisors was that in the
case of the leased school lands the
rental should be required in advance.
Clerk Foster of the district court
was highly complimented upon the
management of his office. His dispo-
sition of the trust funds was especially
approved. They are now deposited in
a bank, not in the name of the clerk
as a person, but as an officer, so as to
be ready at all times to be turned
over to Il successor. The sheriff's of
flee, the Jail and the county hospital
were all found to be well conducted.
The grand jury on being discharged
was in turn complimented by Judge
Street on the result of it's deliberations
The court was pleased that care had
been exercised in the matter of return
ing indictments. He did not want to
be understood that a guilty person
should escape indictment, but the rec
ords of the court showed that the
county had been put to a great deal of
expense in the fruitless prosecution of
persons against whom there was in
sufficient evidence.
The court offered a suggestion to
justices of the peace. He believed that
they were in the main honest and care
full, but their zeal often led them into
sending cases to the grand jury which
ought to be settled in their own courts.
The trial of the Slosser water case
was concluded in district court, and the
Brockman suit was taken up. When /
it is finished all the water suits will be |
argued together and submitted.

NEWS OF BENSON.

Benson. Ariz., Oct. 17.-(Special Cor
respondence of The Republican,
Sheriff Ben Clark of SoIomonville, Ora
ham county, was taking a Mexican to
Yuma convicted of shooting a woman,
and while the train was going up
heavy grade about a mile west of Ben
son the Mexican went into the water
closet and made his escape by jumping
through the window. He had shackles
on. Sheriff Clark and a posse have
been on his trail all day but have not
succeeded in capturing him. They will
take up his trail as soon as it is light
tomorrow morning. 1t does not seem
possible that he can escape as he still
has the shackles on and is in a. desc
late and mountainous country where
he will not be able to get anything to
eat.

SUCCEEDED COBRE GRANDE
a New Company In Possession of
The Csnnanea Mines.

= Professor George w. Treadwell re-
where he has been engaged for the last
two weeks in the Cobre Grande strug-
gle. Prof. Treadwen says that that is
now a closed incident, that the Cobre
/, Grande company is no more, or if it
! exists at all. it is only in name The
! waged has passed into the possession
of the Greene, Mitchell and Treadwell
{ people. Greene is in charge of the
mine and company's store, the men
/ whose wages have been held up have
been paid and work is going on.
new company has been formed
called the Cannanea Consolidated Min
ing company. 1t is composed of
Messrs. Green, Mitchell, Treadwell,
Norton Chase and Walters S. Logan of
New York and others who We're acting
/ in opposition to the Costello interests
in the Cobre Grande. This company
was organized at Arizpe last week
under the laws of Mexico and is the
company whose organization was ar
ranged in New York early last Septem-
Logan to meet the objection of the
Mexican government to foreign corpo
rations in that zone. The capital stock
of the company is fixed at only $4,000
for reasons which will be apparent to
those who are familiar with the matter
of fact methods of MeXicans, who as
sumo that a man is worth what he
pretends to be and taxes him accord
ingly in the way of revenue stamps.
Greene has turned over to the new
company all his Cannanea property,
embracing 1,6OO pertinencias. or claims,
about five miles in extent. Some of
these claims are extraordinarily rich.
A considerable quantity of ore has
been uncovered which is half copper
and carries IS in gold.
The new company is out of debt and
has a working capital to begin with of
$500, 000 Mr. Greene and Attorney Nor
ton Chase left day before yesterday for
New York to meet the eastern men
interested in the company.
1t was the formation of this company
which decided the fate of the Cobre
Grande and took the matter out of lit
igation.
Secretary j. H. Wood of the Cobre
Grande returned on the same train
with Prof. Treadwell. He said also
that the Greene people were III possess
sion of the Cobre Grande under author
ity of the Mexican government He
said that on a dispatch from President
Costello that a satisfactory arrange
ment had been made with the opposi-
ton. he had withdrawn from the
struggle. Mitchell is now actively sup
the works. New machIn-
cry is about to be put in and a force
of 200 men will shortly be employed
Prof Treadwel1 says that the stock
holders of the Cobre Grande will not
suffer by the result Of this contest
Their stock will either be taken up at
81 so a share or stock in the new COM
pany will be exchanged for it. The
turn taken, he adds, has only antlci-
pated the end that would have been
reached a month hence if things had
been allowed to run their course. He
said there was not a possibility that
Costello could have exercised his OPP
ton under the Greene and Mitchell
contract in which case the property
would have reverted to Greene and the
present company would have been or
Ganized-

THE GRAND JURY QUITS
There Is One Open and Some
Hidden Indictments.

The grand jury submitted it's final
report yesterday containing, beside the
report of the several committees on
the county offices and institutions, in
dictments against the Bacas and Can
daleria for horse stealing. There were
also indictments against persons not
IN custody. The charge against the
boy. Lee Edwards. charged with burg
larry, was ignored and he was brought
into court. The understood prisoner
did not know what they were going to
do with him and his face rivalled his
hair in whiteness. He looked more
childlike than ever, and Judge Street
admonished him in a most fatherly
manner, letting him know that only
his youth had saved him. He pictured
to him the difference between the bum
and the successful man. Fhe differ
ence in the beginning was not appar-
emily much, however much it grew to
be. The one was a ShiftleSS, Vacillat-
ing youth, careless of the interests of
his employer, if he had an employer
The other was an honest, Self-respect-
ing boy, always endeavoring to make
himself valuable, if not indispensable.
No well disposed boy, the judge said.
need be out of job an hour, but in
order to get and keep a job he must
keep out of trouble. When the judge
referred to the disgrace in which
young Edwards had involved himself,
the boy began to cry. He was encour-
aged. though, by the assurance that it
was not too late to mend. You can
find work if you look for it," said the
judge. I'm afraid" said the boy, |
that nobody would have anything to /
do with me now
WELL replied the judge, you are /
under a cloud, but it might be much !
worse. Still you cannot get away |
from here without beating your way I
and being a hobo +
"Oh, yes said the boy, I'm ac-
quainted with a conductor who will
let me ride
'tAh,'a said the judge; still you'd be
a hobo; you'd beat your way anyhow.
Instead of riding out on a brakebeam
you'd be a polite deadbeat. My boy,
that is not the way to success. You
must make up your mind to pay when
you ride. You must pay for every
meal you eat by your labor" The boy
went out saying he was going to lead
a different life.
The report of the grand jury upon
the county offices was highly COM
of their management. The
expense Of the office of the district at
torney for nine months had been 81, 800,
more than 1900 less than for the cor
period of last year. Addi-
tional help was recommended for the
probate judges office. The grand jury
was pleased to observe a decrease in
expenditures for indigents outside the
county hospital and believed that this
expenditure might be still further de-
creased. The only suggestion as to the

Verdict of the Commissioners.

The annual parade and inspection of
the Richmond police force occurred yes
terday afternoon. The department made
an admirable showing. and the verdict
OF the commissioners was, that every
thing is eminently satisfactory"
The men presented a singularly fine
and attractive appearance in their smart,
new summer uniforms ana helmets. and
quite large crowd witnessed the "marcb
past" There were few absentees, leave
only being granted to such men as were
indispensable for police duty about the
city.
The inspection took place at o'clock
on the north side of the City Hall in the
presence of Mayor Richard NJ. Taylor
Chief-of-Pohce Howard. Police Commits
sioners j. Il. Welch, J.. G. Figg, G. G.

man of the Committee on Police, was
also present in his official capacity
After the inspection the men walked
past the reviewing stand, which was the
north entrance of tho hall. and their
fine appearance and precise drilling elicit
ed much applause.
Richmond has every reason TO feel
proud OF her police force, and each an
nual inspection bears in the conviction
that that trite aphorism. zone OF the
tinest." is by no means misapplied in this
particular instance.
COMMISSIONERS ELECT OFFICERS.
After the inspection the Police Com
