Arizona For Teddy.
An Arizona delegate, tall, strongly
built, wearing huge sombrero and
with q voice like the roll of q snare
drum, climbed up on the telegraph

and grand state, to tell you benighted

Love that Teddy" is all right.
TEDDY" is Arizona's choice. Teddy"

that's the only joke you have got here
we declare for TEDDY" Get ia

An Outlaw Gang.
A Phoenix, (Ariz.) special to the Den
yer News sage: Juan Chacon, COM
monty known as "Peie.o," which in
Mexican palsver indicates q thing to
be despised. and his sanguinary gang
of three, who murdered T. w. Stew
art and iAnton Olsen. invalid store
keepers at New River Wells two weeks
ago. and committed other outrages, are
still at large, with daily a smaller
stance the gang is described as hsv-
ing one member unusually short,
whose sinister face bears sturdy
growth of black whiskers.
That man is thought to be 'Peielo."
He. with his original gang of eight
Mexicans, came to Arizona from Chi
huahua ten years ago. "Peielo" has a
record of killing twenty three persons,
three of whom were women. Francisco
Blumao and Pedro Lucero, two Mex
leans roaming about with him, are also
responsible for many crimes, the most
recent of which was the killing of John
Stanton who founded the town of Stan
ton, near the Weaver D strict, law
less section which has been Infested by
the gang for some time. The depreda-
lions of "Peielo" and his outfit have
not been confined to Arizona. During
the eight or nine years that they made
surrounding Morenci, Ariz., they made
frequent excursions to New Mexico,
AID four of the number were killed in
fight with officers near Silver City,
and later ano, her was killed.
Two years ago "Peielo' was captur-
ed and put in the county jail In Moren-
CT: He was SEE fenced to be hanged for
murder, and the day before the time
assigned for his execution, which WAS
to be a public affair and signal for
much rejoicing, he overpowered the
death watch and broke jail. This is
one instance of the phenomenal luck
which has followed him throughout
bis career, and which has led Next
cans to regard him almost with super
stition. Only few weeks after es-
Gaping public execution for horde OF
crimes he reunited the remnants of his
following, and the outfit has grown
even more bold and lswless, if possible,
than ever before.
