Robbery in an Arizona Town Results
Arrest of Outlaws.

Bisbee, AriZ., Jan. 13.-Naco, bor-
der town. and one of the toughest in
all the West, was thoroughly aroused
over n robbery of $1,000 last night.
Cowboy Johnson, n well-known char
acter over the Southwest, has been in
Naco for the past few days spending
thousands of dollars over the roulette
tables and at times has won heavily.
Last night he locked up in his trunk
s., 600 in Mexican dobies. John Richie
and Ben Crawford, who are particular
ly hard characters, set about to get
this money They unlocked the trunk
and secured the money, but did not
escape before Johnson appeared on
the scene. Two officers were sum-
moned and proceeded to arrest Richie
and Crawford. who put up hard
fight. Every man pulled his gun and
n battle resulted in the woundinS of
Crawford. Two of Captain Mossmin' S
rangers appeared and succeeded in
placing them in Jail. These men are
said to belong to Il gang that has
caused the rangers great trouble and
whom they have been in pursuit of
for some time. Johnson. who was in
the midst of the fight showed great
daring. He wears the most valuable
diamonds of any man in the territory
and is sought out generally by the
bandits.

Boulder. Colo, Jan. 12.-(Special to
the Denver Republican.)-Th oil re-
gion of this vicinity was the objective
point of large number of people to-
day. Many of these came from Den
yer Colorado Springs, Florence and
other points. The outsiders, in the
main, went out to the wells in the
morning. This afternoon the crowds
went in carriages, on horseback and
on foot. Most of these stopped tenn
porarily at the Mckinley well No. .,
where boring is going on below the
2,2OOfoot mark. where a vein of oil
was struck Friday night. The stay
there was short, but the stay at the
Arnold well. half mile further north,
was of greater duration.
The casing in this well was complet-
ed to the sandstone this afternoon
about 1:3O O'Clock. The well had been
allowed to fill with water and then
several pieces of pipe We're let down.
On this was put a cap so as to make
the water underneath act as n cushion,
as in an inverted bucket. Then piece
after piece was screwed on until the
depth of 2,T2O feet was reached, when
the casing rested on the sandstone
formation beneath. The drill was then
let down. the cap broken and the wa
ter and oil came up into the casing.

Is said, will be near S50o0O0.

SpECULATORS SHOW INTEREST
in THE BOULDER OIL FIELDS

BY . o'clock this had been completed
and the baler was let down to take
out the water.
The cap had not been broken very
long when gas began TO pour out OF
the hole. Some of it was piped on TO
one side and burned in blaze per-
haps three feet long and foot Wide
This, to Boulder people, was quite
curiosity. At night it looks especially
pretty TO see natural gas burning.
Dealing in stock has already begun
Stock in the Headlight Oil Company,
which was placed originally at ana
some at s cents. has risen to 10 cents.
with an upward tendency. Blocks OF
stock are being sold by the hundred
and even by the thousand.
Some claim that White Rock is the
eastern limit of the field, because the
dip there is westward, the present
wells being between the mountain
slope on the west and Gun-Barrel hill
on the east. If the Riverside company
strikes oil this theory will be proved
at fault. II. ]. Matthews of Colorado
Springs is of the opinion that the dis.
trict is n mile and half wide and
from forty to fifty miles long. Ii
true, this would shut out some Of the
eastern wells. The truth or fallacy OF
this position will be tested soon.

Escaped In a Box.

San Francisco, Jan 13.-F'rank Holt,
military prisoner on Alcatraz island,
serving a thirteen-year sentence for de-
sertion. has escaped. He concealed
himself in Il large wooden box which
was consigned to clothing firm in
this city and which was put aboard
the steamer Mcdowell. The top of the
box was so arranged with leather
straps that il could be opened from the
inside.
1t is thought that after the box was
put aboard Holt crawled into 1t and did
not emerge until the vessel reached the
dock on this side of the bay. AS Holt

WILL SUE RAILROADS.
Cattle Shippers Have Been Charged
loo Much.


Chicago, Jan. 13.-As Il result of the
testimony given before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Chicago
suits aggregating between $100o,oO0
and S2,O0o,oO0 will probably be brought
against the railroad companies operat-
ing lines between here and the Mis-
surf river. to recover charges illegally
made for the shipping of cattle.
The cattle interests throughout the
West are aroused over the disclosures
made before the commission, and n
movement is on foot to have the va
rious cattle growers associations com
bine with a view of bringing test cases
against the railroads. Legal authori-
ties declare that there is little doubt of
the ability of cattle shippers to recov-
er, and also TO compel the railroads to
carry cattle from the river to Chicago
at 1Sla cents per 100 pounds, so long as
/ this rate pertains on packing house
products. The suits. which are contem-
plated will be for n recovery of the diff
ference between the tariff rates and
. the rates paid on packing house prod
ucts since June 1901, cattle being en-
titled to equal rates with packing
products.

Chicago, Jan. 13-The Chicago
branch of the American Transvaal
League held meeting here tonight
and adopted n petition calling upon
President Roosevelt to enforce the neu-
trality laws. a large number of sigma
lures of prominent men, judges, law

petition is in the form of an argument
and sets forth that the United States
Is conceded to be n neutral nation in
the war between Great Britain and the
South African Republic. 1t is contend
ed that if the augmentation of Great
Britain's military supplies from the

Reasons for Miss stones Capture.

Duluth, MINI, Jan. l3.-Perley A.
Stone of Boston, brother Of Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary held
for ransom by Bulgarian brigands,
last night said of his sisters predica-
ment:
MY sisters capture is not the result
of brigandage, but of n carefully laid
plot, conceived months before by some
of the principal actors in the political
drama now being played behind the
scenes by men in Bulgaria and Mace
donia.
''Her capture was not because she
was missionary, but because she
was an American citizen. Had she
been the subject of any other great
nation, it would not have happened.
Her rescue or abandonment will deter
mine for many years TO come the

Symp mpathizers-ResoIutio Adopted.
Denver, Jan. 13.-The most earnest
appeal in behalf of people struggling
for liberty ever heard in Denver was
delivered last evening at the Broadway
theater.
The orator was Webster Davis,
champion of the Beers and former as
sistant secretary of the interior; his
audience. the largest that could crowd
itself into that theater. Hundreds who
could not gain an entrance by the front
doors came in through the stage en-
trance, and either sat or stood on the
stage, many behind the scenes.
At T:3O o'clock, an hour before Mr..
Davis was introduced, there was not
n vacant seat in the theater, and for
fully an hour and a half longer thou
sands of people tried to effect an en-.
trance Those who We're disappointed
will have an opportunity of meeting
and hearing Mr.. Davis this afternoon
from 10 o'clock, in the rotunda of
the Albany.
No such scene ever before was wit
messed in the vicinity of the Broad
way. The various streets were
thronged with two streams of people,
one pushing to the theater and the 9th
er coming away disappointed.
1t was n most appreciative audience,
Mr. Davis spoke for two hours, and
was incessantly interrupted with ap-
plause, cheers and laughter.
Strong resolutions We're adopted urg'
ing Congress to protest to Great Br1-
tain against its course toward the
