and eating, Ash was engaged in ne
gotiating the money order in the Pal
ace, next door, for face value $50
This time he endorsed the paper, as he
was no particular faVorite in that
house and it locked only like a fair
business proposition.
By this time it occurred to Mr. But
Ter that he was holding the sack and
Ash had the snipa, although he was not
aware that Ash had the last $50 roll.
1t was then almost train time He
telephoned the M. & P depot and
learned that Ash and his wife were
just driving up in private rig to take
the train. He learned that Ash had a
rig from the stable Of G. f. Lyk.e on
Adams street. Inquiry there only had
the effect Of making the liyeryman
anxious. The horse had not returned.
Mr., Buffers next move was to tell his
troubles to Justice JOhnstone, who
Immediately provided him with a war
rant, and the telegraph wires did the
rest.
The Ash family may be met at the
depot this morning by all their cid
friends who desire to renew their ac
quatntance. Il is believed that among
them will be "the butcher, the baker

About 10 o'clock last night the
1iveryman found his horse and buggy
tied behind the Wellington saloon,
where it had probably been taken by
some youth whc had been told to drive
around awhile and leave it any old
place.
Ash's conduct is a surprise to all
who knew him. as he has always been
considered sober and particularly re-
liable for one who follows his line of
business. He has also been looked
upon as a man who was trying to make
and save all there was in the bust
ness and during the days when he was
not at work, himself and wife have
busted themselves in making and dis
posing Of articles of fancy work in
silk, satin and embroidery, which
were very handsome and seemed to
a ready sale. Ash has also
been given many liberties in market
ing his goods among the patrons of
the Capitol and received other cour
tesies from his employer. He will
have to tell very pathetic story in
court to remove the evidences of in
gratitude that have now accumulated
against him.
Later: After the apprehension of
Ash at Maricopa he wired Mr.. Butler
that he would leave the amount of his
Indebtedness to him with the officers
at Maricopa. This being the case, it
is possible that he paid the costs and
was allowed to proceed, as the amount
gained by representation was only
$40. and consequently not felony

The Joke Didn'! work and Nobody
was Satisfied.

Bob MeCleary was disappointed on
Saturday afternoon. He told why yes

ball managers at the Hotel Adams on
Saturday afternoon, and one OF the
managers planned a joke on Mr.. Nc
Cleary, the bar tender. His joke con-
sisted in ordering lemonades for those
present at the meeting, numbering fif-

CONDITION OF COLORADO
Tourists VIII Be Attracted TO Phoe-
Fix by the Coming Carnival.

James Thompson, =ormerly night
clerk of the Ford hotel. returned yes
terday from trip to Colorado and has
been re-employed at the hotel. He
heard of the boom in Colorado last
May and went there. but did not find
what he expected. It is true, he says,
that Colorado is enjoying greater
amount of prosperity than ever before.
but the state has its drawbacks, as
every other place, and more of them
than Arizona. It is a cry frequently
raised against Phoenix and towns in
the southern part of the territory that
the summers are unbearable and resi-
dents are forced to leave during two
or three months IF the year. 1t is not
necessary that business should be neg
lected here in the summer, but if it
were, Phoenix would not differ from
Colorado, except that the cold winter is
the season when business is nurt there
Just now there is little difficulty in
getting work in Colorado. But during
the colder months CT winter the bus
mess condition of Colorado is shown
by the difficulty in finding employ
ment. The whole state of Colorado
might be called summer resort. Tour
lists flock in in the summer and all
branches of business are opened. Many
experienced men working in smelters
and mines leave for the hills on pros
pecting tours, leaving opportunities
for those less experienced. The re-
sorts are running full blast, creating
other openings. But in the winter
they are closed and hotel men and en-
ployes leave. for other PANTS This
egress is felt by all. Then the eX-
perienced mining men return and set |
their positions back throwing others !
out of employment. Tramps flood the |
state in the summer and make easy
livings without working, but in the |
winter those left find it necessary to /
work and at the same time find it hard |
to get work. Colorado is subject to /
greater business changes than Arizona

Ounce and won't learn anything, is

BILE in teaching monkeys is largely that
they are mischievous They try TO

order to make them perform as de-

though they grasp an idea quickly.
The only bwo species of animals which
can be taught by precept and example
are the chimpanzee and the orang-

instruct them in doing thing it is
only necessary for the trainer to do it
first himself, and then either one Of
these will initiate him.
''In training animals we give each
a course of instruction fer a stated
length of time each day. according TO
the nature of the animals and the feat

into the ring and go through an entire
performance. During the course of
the training each performer is given
a certain cue that it is his time to act.
Sometimes it is by a certain word
spoken by the ringmaster; sometimes
by a sign. For instance, if in train

ANDREW NEALHN DEAD
Another Old Timer Answers the
Roll Call of the Grim Reaper.

! Andrew Nealan died yesterday at
12:15 o'clock at his residence on South
Second avenue, between Madison and
Jackson streets, of dropsy, with which
he has been suffering for a long time,
his last illness combining. him to mis-
house most of the time for the last
two months
and was among the old timers in
Phoenix, coming here in 70 or 80. He
Vas of a quiet disposition, good ma
tured and had host Of friends among
the older residents. Generous, but
frugal. he became possessed Of a com
potency, owning the property in which
he resided, and one or two pieces Of
suburban property. and it is said had a
ranch on the Buckeye. Mr.. Nealan
was a native of Ireland, coming to the
coast in the early days, whore he fol-
lowed mining for many years. He was
among the early pioneers in British
Columbia and the Caribou country,
and was fond of relating incidents Of
pioneer life in the northwest, though
he was reserved when referring to
himself.
His first employment when he came
here was with e. GAM. who at that
time owned the Bank Exchange hotel.
Later he was employed by Joseph
Thalheimer, whose place of business
was on the corner now occupied by
Goldberg Bros. After that he was
employed for a number of years by
James Mcnamara, but for three or
four years past he has done very little
work, not being in position to ne
cessitate it and his i'll health prevent
ing work fer the mere pleasure of it.
He was a charter member of Phoe-
nix lodge K. of p, and was ever an
honor to the society and one of its
strong supporters. The disposition of
the remains is in their hands and he
will be given the honGrs of the order.
His only relatives, SO far as known,
are a nephew who a short time ago
was in the army and probably is yet,
and niece, who, it is believed from a
letter found, resides in Tacoma, Wash.
She has been telagraphed to and moth

funeral or interment until some reply
is made to the message.

disagreeable, but in Arizona there is
no ground for complaint during nine
months of the year.
Mr.. Thompson was impressed by the
different conditions which exist in
three cities Of Colorado, only few
miles apart. The cities are Colorado
Springs, Colorado City and Manitou,
which are connected by an electric
line. Colorado Springs is one CT the
clear:sst and prettiest cities in the
country. Saloons are not allowed
here, but they are found without
number three miles away at Colorado
City. This is little the most rapid
town Mr.. Thompson had ever wit
messed. An effort to close the saloons
on Sunday has finally teen successful,
but net due to any temperance organ
ization. The druggists who are per-
mitted to sell liquor almost as freely
as the saloons were promoting the

IMPORTANT TESTS
Prof. True Not Vet Ready 10 Begin
Them.

Prof. G. H True Of the department
of animal husbandry, and formerly in
charge OF the dairy department of the
University Of Michigan, who arrived
here two weeks ago, has been spending
his time familiarizing himself with
the method of farming by irrigation
He has been accustomed to conducting
experiments in a region entirely de-
pendent upon rainfall, and he says
there are many things for nina to learn
about agriculture in this section before
he will attempt to experiment with
stock. He will carry on his expert
ments in conjunction with Prof. A. j.
McClatchie, director of the local ex-
detrimental farm. Prof. McClatchie has
charge CT the growing of forage and
Prof. True will note the effects pro-
duced by feeding the different kinds of
forage The object is to ascertain the
most economic methods CT feeding
stock fer the best results. Within a
month there will be a small herd OF
cattle at the experimental farm, with
which the tests will be made, and
later the herd will be added to from
time to time.
Prof. True is taking up line of ex-
p6rlment OF extreme importance 10 LnlS
valley and the territory, and it is sing
ular that some one had not been as
signed to the work before. One thing
which has been a drawback to the cat
tie industry is the absence Of corn
This condition has affected the raising
of hogs, also. Indian corn may be
raised successfully in this valley at
some future date, but it has never
proven a SUCCESS hitherto 1t is felt
to be almost a necessity to find sub
stitute for Indian corn, and this will
he ore of the matters which will be
looked into. Already progress has
been made. 1t has been found that
certain species CT sorghum attain
rank growth with a small amount of
irrigation, and sorghum, in a measure.
is a substitute for ordinary corn. 1t
will probably be shown that Egyptian
corn is still a better substitute. 1t
grows equally as well, and less
amount Of water is required. Its
principal merit lies in the fact that it
concentrates its energy in the head,
which is larger and more solid than
the sorghum head.
August and September alfalfa makes
little growth but this is the time of
year for the growth OF sorghum. 1t is
now thought that it would pay the
farmer to plant a sorghum crop at this
time of the year, and sorghum could
be grown with the alfalfa. Some va
rieties of corn have been found to head
twice here during the months men

But Mr.. Thompson is not sorry he
took the trip. although he is now
convinced by experience that there is
no place like Phoenix. He was pres
ent at the Festival of Mountain and
Plain which concluded a few days ago
in Denver, and this feature alone was
worth the trip. 1t was GRE of the
most magnificent carnivals ever
known in this country This annual
celebration is enc of the things which
attracts SO many tourists to Colorado,
and an example of what may be done
to bring them here. In enc sense Den
yer is Eenefactor of Phoenix. BY its
festival it mobilizes the tourists Of
Colorado, making them easier to reach
by advertising matter sent out from
Phoenix. Mr.. Thompson believes the
coming carnival in Phoenix will sue
coed in its design of attracting Colo
radq tourists. FIa read in a Denver
newspaper the other day of the inten-
ton of Phoenix to hold a carnival. and
the article caused considerable COM
ment.

NIppED in THE BUD.
An Inqrafe VINO Would Like TO Be
Confidence Man.

For some time past the patrons Of
the Capitol saloon have been enter
tanned during the long evening hours
by a couple of musical speciality artists
known to the profession as Professor
Ash and wife. The professor has a
genius for getting more music out of a
row of glass bottles than some people
professor also has faculty of raising
more coin on an innocent looking
mohey order than most men wot CT
He has heretofore held the friendship
and respect of all who knew him, but
a transaction which occurred yester-
day is so shady that it gave P. w.
-G2mtler, proprietor of the Capitol, a
chill, notwithstanding his thermom-
eter was in good working order and
the mercury had its coat off.
The episode hinges on the negotia-
ton of a postoffice money order ac-
ccmpanied by all the frills and film
fans, which tend to the belief that
Professor Ash has the inclination and
only lacks the ability to become a
ffrst-class confidence man.
AS stated before, himself and wife
have been employed as musicians at
the Capitol. Ash asked Mr.. Butler
for loan of SIT, and got it. Later he
came in and exhibited a money order
from a California point for $50, and
told Mr.. Butler that he would like to
have an advance CT $40 on it, as he
could not cash it on Sunday. He was
accommodated. and still later in the
day he came around and said he would
like another advance of $50, making
S57 in all as the amount of these
favors. He stated that he did not
want to sign the order over to him,
as he wanted to cash it himself the
next day, and Mr.. Butler thought
nothing of the occurrence, as the CIR
der could not be duplicated at least
before the next day.
Along toward evening Ash made
fourth visit to the Capitol, and this
time his story was tinged with some
thing that might suggest a little fam
lily misunderstanding. He stated that
his wife was aware that he received
the money order and that she had sus-
picioned that he had done something
with it, and asked him to let her see it,
He therefore told Mr. Butler that it
would be deemed a great personal
favor if he would let him take the or
der back and show it to his wife, when
he would return it to him again. Still
being in a good natuIed mood Mr..
Butler granted the request and the
man went out.
Mr. Butler then began Eliminating.
It occurred to him that Ash must be
having a pretty swift day for a staid
old married man, and his frequent Wis
its were beginning to annoy him. He
looked around to see if everything was
all right. He found the Ash family's
musical instruments piled up in their
accustomed place in the back room
and naturally supposed they would be
around shortly to go to work He
then sat down to eat a little lunch, and
when he had finished he took another
stroll into the back room and discov-
cred that the musical instruments were
gone.
He then did some more thinking.
While he was engaged in thinking
