SUSPECTED WATCH THIEF
Carried Too Many for a Man of His
 Condition

A Mexican with the good ol1 English name of John Doe is in custody at Con- srcSs on suspicion of Deiug ablc tl throw some light on the disappearance of great many gold watches Tn this iowa within the last three months. Watch stealing became a sort of an eri- demic Only gold watches were taken. The thefts Were generaiiy committed in he day time in the absence of mcm- bers of the family. Now and then a raid would be made m the night time while the people were sleeping outside.
 No effort seemed to have been made to dispose of any of the property at pawnshops CT second hand stores. The police were of ,he opinion that the town was being worked by an organization of foreign talent and that ihe booty gwould be shipped away tO be disposed pf elsewhere.
 A few days ago it was learned that a Mexican was doing a thriving busi- pess sat Congress in the sale of gold watches at attractively low prices. some of these watches generally an- sswefed the description of the time pieces of which the populace of Fhoe- nix had been plundered. The arrest of ethe Mexican was ordered by telegraph and Deputy Shs riff Williams went after him last night.

HAIL STORM AT MESA
8. Moot Severely Injured by a Fall
 ing Shed.

It Is still stormy all over the terri tory and most of the streams are carry ing flood waters. Where the water is not high enough to cause trouble the wind is strong enough to make the timid anxious. Arizona. though. can congratulate herself that she has no cy- clones. and the only accident that in any manner menaces life through the action of the wind comes from flying debris or falling limbs, as the wind n this region never gets strong enough to take human being off his feet.
 Such an accident was reported from Mesa City last evening. where vio- lent. wind. rain and hail storm oc- cured about o'clock. A shed on the ranch of S. Moot was blown down and some of the fling timbers hit Mir. Moot. it Is said injuring him severly. but 1t Is not thought seriously. Many big cottonwood trees were blown down and some slight damage dcne to build ings. The most femarkabel thing in connection with the storm was the hail. which was large and ragged looking, more like chunks of lee than like the symetrically formed hailstones that usually fall. and especially in warm climate. As matter of fact. a hall storm is of rare occurrence in this val ley. and 1t is believed this one put In an appearance just to show to the world that 1t is not as torrid here as some people imag zine.
 One peculiar thing about the storms here in the last year or so Is that for the most part each storm Is a special arrangement for some small section of country. This storm in Mesa, while one of the most severe ever known there, barely reached to Tempe In facts 1t did not rain there at all, sim ply blowed up the dust. There was a slight dust demonstration here last ev- ening. as in fact there has been almost every evening of late. But at a late hour no rain had fallen. Sometimes 1t will rain In Mesa and Phoenix and leaves Tempe out. The rains this year
