sault upon theft Herty at first, but
| finally decided to make the best OF it
and went with the officers. At the city
| jail they were searched and the larger
of the two proved to be armed with a
siX-shooter of more than ordinary size
and persuasive appearance. The
other man was provided with a big
dirk knife a razor and new pocket
| knife. They were also supplied with
cuff buttons, . watch and other jew
elry. though their general appearance
was rather shabby. They gave the
names Of Smith and Derickson and
claimed to have just arrived in the
city from FL Paso. having walked
from AIaricopa yesterday.
IT'S UP TO ROBERTS AGAIN
Frank Shirley is in some respects the
most unfortunate man in the world,
Every sure thing game that comes
along seems to seek him out for VIC
tim. The Republican few days ago
announced that the catfish industry
now being firmly estab lished here ITr.
Shirley had decided to withdraw from
the field and pulled down his standing
bonus of 4 dollar apiece for fish. II
the announcement it was mentioned
that about the only thing Shirley
could be worked or hereafter would
be opposums. In less than two days
Elder Roberts. who was the means Of
bringing the catfish agitation to the
front appeared and made the cold
blOOded statement that he and another
man had caught an oppossum recently
in the brush along Salt river. Mr..
Shirley offered him half a dollar to
place the animal on exhibition. 70
Shirley now makes the offer good to
all Corners, but to Roberts in particu-
lar. That man is treading on treach-
erous ground. The fish business Great
ed a general scandal in oolored society
over Roberts doubtful veracity. but
he eventually cleared himself from
blame. Whether he viii succeed as
we'll with oppossun2s remains to be
seen, but at any rate. he seems to be
an everlasting thorn in Mr.. Shirley's
flesh.
