Two Years For Burglary.
Four prisoners plead guilty to burg
larry before Judge Walthall this morn
ing and two of them were given two
years in the state penitentiary.
| They were James ID. Mcclellan, ChaS.
Brown, Samuel Apodaca and Marcus
CASTILLO. The two latter were two
young to go to the penitentiary and
were sentenced to two years in the
reformatory.
Marcelino Avite Brought to Town.
Marcelino Avite. the Mexican arrest
ed at Ysleta, charged with being one
OF the murderers of Pablo Romero at
| Ysleta last July. was brought to town
yesterday and locked in the county
Jail with Gregorio Martinez and Sa-
| bino Gonzales. who were arrested here
charged with the crime.
| The credit for the clever work in
chasing these men down rightfully be-
longs to B. Alderete, father of District
Clerk Ike Alderete, who has been con-
stantly at work on the cases since the
murder was committee. He located
every one of the men and caused their
arrest. A few days ago he reported
that he had them all located and in
company with Ed Bryant called az the
residence of the two men here and ar
rested them.
Mr.. Alderete then went back to vs.
leta and arrested the man caught there.
The one arrested in Arizona was also
located by Mr.. Alderete. who had him
spotted until after the men here were
locked in Jail. He is confident that he
has the right men and has collected
string of evidence that looks like it
will stick.
Nothing More Known
Nothing more is known of Judd
Shoemaker, the unfortunate man who
was taken to Hotel Dieu mentally de-
ranged yesterday morning.
Several kilograms were sent to his
home in Scranton last night and as
many replies were received but none of
them stated what his business was or
why he had come to this country.
Chief Lockart received a telegram
this morning from l.. l.. Shoemaker at
Scranton wanting to know how he is
getting along and what was the matter
with him. Te telegram was evidently
from his father or brother but did not
state which. The chief answered the
telegram and asked for instructions
but none have been received. Presi-
dent Eddy of the White Oaks also
wired to Scranton friends but has re-
ceived no reply.
Shoemaker has letters from good
business firms in Scranton as we'll as
the mayor stating that he was going
south for the benefit of his health and
giving him the best of recommended
lions. This is all that is known of
him. He is yet at Hotel Dieu in
bad condition mentally but at times Is
semi-rational
Ball and Chain for Buncoer.
Kid Snow. one of the buncoe men
who was arrested with man named
Childs for robbery during the carnival
and fined s101, was taken before the
chief of police this morning tor set
tlernent. Snow said he wanted 20 pay
a small part of It il the cher wouid
release him and he would go over in
JuareZ ard make the rest of the money
and send it to him.
The chief was too smooth for this
kind of a trick and gave Snow 1O1 days
on the streets with ball and chain
on his foot Snow protested strongly
but to no avail. He was taken OFT and
put to work.
Childs hes not vet received his SEN
tence after falling to pay the fine but
he will likely pay it in tie same way
Snow is paying his. mis- is tough
gang and the chief does not propose
to let them off for one day.
A Lost Trunk
The chief of police wishes to know
if any hotel or rooming house in the
city has trunk marked, Miss Pearl
Burdett."
The trunk was lost here during the
carnival and no trace of it has been
found. Any party having it will con-
fer a favor on the owner and the chief
by calling him up.
