Indian Mail
Thief Caught.

Deputy United States Marshal ]. P.
Wells came in from the north yesterday
morning with Navajo Indian, charged
with robbing the United States mails,
says the Republican. Under the cir
cum stances, as will be hereinafter
shown, the crime was forced upon him
by the carelessness of a postmaster. The
Indian was carrying the mail out of
Tuba City. He was not the regular
carrier and, in fact, it does not appear
that there wa regular career but the
mail bag was intrusted with whoever
happened to be going in the direction
the mail was TO be sent. On this otc
sion the Indian was in charge of the bag.
The lock had been improperly secured
and fell off. The Indian had heard a
metallic jinglling in the bag, and he EN-.
braced this opportunity to find out what
made it. He sorted the mail on the
desert and found.a large envelope with
big red letters and great blotches of red
sealing wax on it. He opened it and
discovered in it $2l in silver and seven
$40 bills. He put the bills into his
rocket, took $3.50 of the silver and
wrapping up the rest OF the silver in a
newspaper he threw it into the bag
along with the rest of the mail. He
then locked it more securely than the
postmaster had done and proceeded on
his journey, having thrown the big en-.
yelope with the red letters on it away.
The postmaster at the other end of the
line was surprised to find the package OF
silver. There was an accompanying
card OF advice in the bag, showing that a
registered letter had been sent. He sent
the package back to Tuba City. Suspl-
cion was naturally directed against the
Indian, but as the bag was found locked
on its arrival at its destination, and the |
postmaster at Tuba City was willing to |
swear that it was locked when it passed
out OF his hands, it was difficult to see |
how the Indian had connected himself |
with the shorta OF s7l.50.
The postmaster at Tuba City has
way, which is not generally followed by
of keeping a record OF the
numbers of all bills he transmits by reg
stered mail. 1t was soon learned that
IN Indian was disseminating $40 bills at
4 camp some distance from Tuba City.
The Indian was the mail carrier and the
bills having been gathered up, were
ound to have the numbers the record
'f which the postmaster had kept. Then
he Indian was arrested and he told the
est of the story.

A Statement
Of the Facts.

From the times which date back many
wears when it was almost Impossible tt
eecure a bucket OF water during . fire
when buildings were destroyed and
there vas no help at hand, no means oi
obtaining water, the problem upper
most in the minds OF the people OF Tue
son has been water. Now, at time
when the system ia entering upon the
trumphal stage in its development, the
o..stion is one oi cost, and this is being
speedily adjusted by the present mayor
and common council. Every property
owner in the city is interested in the
nroblem which confronts the city today,
inst as much as he was when the first
struggle was made for q water supply.
Looking back over the history of the
question those who are disposed to be
fair will see that the question is being
solved to the utmost satisfaction and
profit of the people OF the city. The
gentlemen who have had charge OF the
water question, who havegiven up their
time to it, are not the kind to give up !;
in the face of unjust criticism they arc
doing their work which is fast resulting
in placing the waterwurks OF Tncson
upon basis which viii soon make 1t
one of the most successful municipal
Institutions in the country. review
OF the matter is Of interest at this time.
The first effective step was taken five
years ago when the authority OF con-
gress was asked by the city of Tucson
allowing the city to issue bonds in the
sum Of % 600 for the purpose of laying
belt line around the improved portion OF
the city to afford FIRE protection, the
water and pressure to be furnished by
the railroad company. This PROPOSE
ton was frustrated by an act of con-
gress requiring an election to be held
and the question at issue TO be approved
by a two,third majority OF the voters
before authority would be granted by
congress for such procedure. Steps

STRIKE OF PAPERHANGERs.
Conditions Remain About m They
Were Yesterday.

The situation Of the disagreement be-
tween the Master Paperhangers' Associa-
ton and members Of the union remains
practically the same as 1t was yesterday,
neither side moving a step from it's posi-
ton. From all appearances there prom
ises to be a rather stubborn stand made by
all parties concerned in the affair, the men
not being willing to go back at the old
wages and the masters resisting the de-
mands made upon them by the union.
That the masters are determined in their
fight may be taken from the fact that sew
eral Of the officials Of the association are.
1t is thought, out OF town on the quest for
men to fill the strikers places To assist
them, 1t Is understood, advertisements have
been, or will be, inserted In the Newspapers
of New York city. PhiladelphAa, Harrisburg
and Richmond.
These advertisements call for fifty men
and to encourage volunteers. 1t IL said, the
Masters Association will defray the trans-
portation Of those presenting themselves as
candidates to fill the places now vacant
On the other hand. the men aver that even
should the masters be successful In UettinR
the men, the latter must be union meI,.
and in that case nothing would be derived
adyantageously to the Masters Associa-
ton. --

Stockholders of City and Suburban
Railway Appeal to Court.
A suit in equity was filed in the Supreme
Court Of the District today by certain MI
nor1ty stockholders OF the City and Subur-
ban railway OF this city. asking that a re-
ceiver be appointed for that road. The suit
is brought by Charles P. Williams. John F.
Shea and Stephen Gatti. and the informa-
ton sets. forth that the road is insolvent
and Is being operated at a loss.
This information 1t is stated. Is shown
by the last annual report made to Congress
by the company. The inability OF the road
to pay operating expenses is said to be due
to mismanagement on the part Of the
board Of directors Of the Company and
also caused by the relations 1t bears to
other roads Of sthe city.
The charge Is made that 1t is the inten-
ton Of the present management Of the road
to wreck the property financially and de-
stroy the value OF the stock. II the road
IS properly managed, 1t Is stated. 1t would
be solvent and able to pay all expenses.
Besides asking for receiver, q plea Is
made that the road be sold under the direc-
ton OF the court and trustees appointed.
