Although sentenced for vagrancy,
Dineen, an old time citizen of Anaconda

have followed him.
He was at one time employed in the
shelters here. He has had one of his
legs broken three different times, the last
time leaving him manned for life
unable to do any hard work.
His only source of revenue was from
light work performed around saloons,
which enabled him to pick up odd quar-
tiers and half dollars. Engaged in this
capacity liquor got the best of him until
he reached a stage where he was unable
to take care of himself.

New Wrinkle in Chinese Smuggling,

intelligence that Special Inspector
 T. I. Roush of the United States customs service had captured at
 Maricopa two Chinese women who
 had been smuggled into the United
 States and were passing as Mexican girls being en route from Sonora to San Francisco. The telegram as published gave no further details, but from various sources the whole story has been gleaned and it makes very interesting reading.
 It seems that the two women captured came to Nogales some three or four weeks ago, CD route to Sonora, in bond from San Fran cisco. They were landed at Noga- les, Sonora, and the bond exoner- ated by the United States customs officials. The two celestial maidens CD remained in Nogales, Sonora, and the American customs officials concluded it wise to keep them under surveillance. which was done. Upon Saturday evening, the 9th inst. they took the train south ward, buying tickets as far as Imuris. It was thought that their next move would be to return to the United States by the usual route-a carriage journey, slipping across the line somewhere in the night, driving directly to Tucson. But instead of following that method they adopted new plan entirely and put it into successful execution. Leaving the train at Imuris they exchanged their Chinese garb for the skirts, shawls and hats of mod ern Mexican belles; and when the northward train arrived two hours later they boarded that, entering the sleeping car, taking berths for Tucson and going immediately to bed. When the train passed Noga les they were still asleep, the curt aims drawn around their section, and they were not disturbed. They remained secluded all the way to Tucson, and when they emerged from their berths to get of there they wore veils which so concealed their features that they readily passed for couple ofquite stylish Mexican girls.
 Remaining in Tucson until Tues day evening the two girls then took the westbound train provided with tickets for San Francisco. Tn the meantime Immigration Inspector Ed Baker, at Nogales, had learned how they had doubled back from Imuris and telegraphed at once to MT. Roush at Phoenix that the girls were en route to San Fran cisco, and to look out for them. MT. R. went to Maricopa by the first train, found the girls on the westbound train, when it came along, and took them to Phoenix, where he turned them over to United States Marshal McCord. l
