Arizona. Your people ought to adver-

KING USSERY'S CAPTURE-King
Ussery. the most notorious, if not the
most desperate criminal in Arizona,
was arrested here yesterday morning
on telegraphic instructions from Sheriff
Munds of Yavapai county. where he is
wanted for grand larceny. Ussery is
under indictment in ella county for
horse stealing. He has been in Jail
| there for several months, except for
| "a period of a few days, when he was
at large having broken Jail. About
two weeks ago he succeeded in giving
bond. When the Yavapai authorities
heard that he was at large an officer
went after him, but on his arrival at
Globe Ussery was gone and could not
be found. Ussery appeared in Phoenix
yesterday and a telegram was sent to
Prescott announcing his capture. His
arrest was directed in reply and Dep
uty Sheriff Billy Moore overlook him
just as he was leaving town. Sheriff
Munds came down after him last night
A VANDAL AMONG FLOWERS. -
There was an instance of vandalism
at John o. Dunbars residence on Fri
day night which ought to have been
met with a shotgun. Mr.. Dunbar's
house is surrounded by roses which
have been cultivated at great trouble
and expense and which have become
famous throughout Arizona. When
MIR. Dunbar awOke yesterday morning
he found the ground strewn with doz-
ems of roses. To many of them stems
three feet long were attached. The
bushes We're hacked and one several
feet tall had been cut off within a few
inches of the ground. There We're min
gled human and dog tracks in the clay.
showing that the intruders had been in
conflict with the watch dog. Beside
the roses which We're left lying on the
ground, Mr.. Dunbar estimates from the
denuded appearance of the bushes that
more than a thousand were carried off.
A great many of Mr.. Dunbar's neigh
bors in Capitol addition have beautiful
flower gardens which they are now
guarding with shotguns.
TOO SICK TO TRY.-The prelimi-
nary examination of Raoul Averne.
AOA bllC Jul SidIy VI the DtllllOHtCO
Chinese restaurant, set for yesterday,
was further postponed on account of
the frightful physical condition of the
prisoner. He has utterly collapsed since
his supply of morphine has been re-
duced. He lay insensible, frothing at
the mouth. His body is covered with
ulcers, the result of thousands of hy-
pOdermic injections. James Nolan, the
man arrested with Averne, was re-
leased on his own recOgnizance. The
authorities are pretty well satisfied
that Nolan had nothing to do with the
crime, though he was the victim of
an almost fatal coincidence. When
Averne was arrested in possession of
the stolen goods he said that he knew
nothing about them. but was delivering
them to another man. who he described
as well as the place where he was to
meet him. Within a few minutes No
Ian was found at that place and in
general way he answered the descrip-
ton of him. After his arrest Averne
said he was the man. Nolan denied
that he had ever seen Averne and gave
a good account of himself. His case
was further assisted by the circum-
stance that the money stolen from the
Chinaman was found in Averne's pock-
cts and that he was wearing the hat
and coat of one of them.
