WAS A POPULAR BOY
Large Attendance at the Funeral of
 Frank Campbell.

Yesterday afternoon at , o'clock the Frank Campbell were held at the home of his parents, Mir. and Mrs. C. C. Campbell. on North Fourth avenue.
 Though the summons came to Frank in life's early morning, he had by his sweet disposition and winning manner endeared himself to all who knew him. and many were the friends who gath cred to pay their last tribute of respect. Beautiful flowers covered the little white casket and filled the room, sym boliZing in their fragrance and purity the fair life that had been plucled from earth and transplanted into heaven.
 Frank was a faithful member of the Sunday school. where he learned to sing many hymns, among which "ThereIl be No Dark Valley when Jesus Comes.' At the Cross and When the Roll is Called Up Wonder I'll be There" were favorites, and these were used at the services. Rev. Laspley McAfee spoke briefly to the people and his words were earnest and sympathetic. He said in part: ''The question arises today, Why are there so many short lives? Why are the bright lives so often taken out of this world? We cannot answer this question positively or tell just why God takes away the brightness, unless it be for the enrichment of heaven. If wa imagine heaven without the children We leave out one of it's greatest joys Jesus loved the children here and heaven would not be complete to Him without them. Another reason may -a that it makes heaven more attractive to us. Jesus loved to talk of the shep- herd and his care for the sheep, and how he would often take a lamb in his arms and carry it over a rough or dan gerous place, knowing that the mother would surely follow. And may it not be for this same reason that Jesus through the dark valley and across the river to lead the loved ones safely on" Today Jesus has taken a little lamb from this family circle, the little voice that was accustomed to sing so sweetlv is stilled, the little body that has suf- fered so much of pain and sickness is at rest, but the influence of that beau tiful, patient life still lives, pointing ever onward and heavenward'
 MT. McAfee closed his remarks by re- beating the twenty-third Psalm
 The six boys who acted as pallbear- CTS were Fred Ruppert. Clifford Greene, Bailey McAfee. Roy Creighton, Mark Dunbar and Jesse Holmes. A large number of people followed the little body to it's last earthly resting place.

L. D. Copeland returned home yester- day from visit of nearly four weeks in Washington. He was called there principally by business in connection with the patent slag steam generator which he and George Mitchell have per fected and propose as soon as possible to begin manufacturing for sale to smelling companies. For that purpose they are now engaged in organizing q big corpora tion whose headquarters will probably be in Los Angeles. As the result of his latest visit to Wash iugton they have ont only secured z. patent to protect the invention in this country. but they have also practically secured through their agents patents in twenty-siX foreign countries.
 Mr. Copeland reports a very pleasant visit in Washington. but endured some weather that reminded him of Arizona in the summertime. His daughter Miss Lucia Copeland, who has been visiting relatives in New Hampshire, joinel him in Washington and accompanied him home. While in Washington he met C. c. Randolph formerly pro- prietor of The Republican; F. P Trott.
 
 pie all of whom seemed to be having a good time.
 On the way home he stopped in St. Louis and called on John Seargeant. formerly @ resident of Phoenix, and an employe of MT. Copeland when he was conducting a machine shop here.

COLLECTION OF THE SINFUL
The Things That Happened to Them
 in Justice Burnett's Count

Justice Burnett had a busy forenoon yesterday, the result of the activity or the officials the day before. The first and most important case was that of John Matthew, an Indian who had been arrested on Sunday morning for burg
 larizing the house of his employer, w. A. Wharton, on Saturday afternoon. He had stolen a gun, watch, some jemeiiy and other articles. Matthew
 offered in mitigation of his offense that he had committed the crime be- cause he wanted to do so. That was an Imperfect way of saying in English that he did not know why he had done it; that something he could not resist had impelled him. It was decided to reduce the charge against him from a felony to a misdemeanor. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the county jail for sixty days. Lew Chickenny pleaded guilty to a charge of disturb ance of the peace and was fined $6. Kid Button pleaded not guilty to a similar charge and his trial was set for tomorrow. Jack Phillips and J. w. Jacobs, who had materially assisted in

THE WAGES OF SIN
Way of Transgressor is Hard ill the
 Recorders Court.

Aside from the Stratman case men toned in another column the recorder had a busy hour yesterday working over the criminal business that had accumulated since Saturday night.
 The most desperate character dealt with was Jesus Valencia, the bad man from Weaver. arrested Saturday night by Officer Russell for fighting with Antonio Ybarra near the Doris the ater. This particular fight was not of special interest except that Valencia gave the officer a round or two before he submitted and the recorder sent him below for fifteen days. His oppo- nent. Ybarra. who was also arrested, forfeited a bail bond of four dollars by not appearing. Interest attaches to Nalencia's case through the fact that he has borne a hard reputation for years and served one sentence for a bad fight with d Turk in which he bit the Turks finger almost off. He IS one of those men that seldom goes to jail and never till after he has made d fight to get away.
 The next case of a bloody nature was that of Manuel Gonzales and Diego April who were arrested Sun day afternoon for fighting on South Seventh street April was pretty roughly handled and his face looked yesterday as though a man had walked over it with hob nailed shoes while one eye was decorated with Q dark cloud. Manuel was shown to be the aggressor and was fined fifteen dollars or as many days. April was fined four dol lars for being drunk and getting him self whipped.
 Ed Reilly, sleeping drunk, arrested by Officers Bush and Porter, pleaded guilty and was fined $5. The same fine was assessed to Loreto Garbo for the same sort of an offense. being arrested by Officer Lawrence.
 Another man was arrested under the Vagrancy ordinance. having been found asleep in q vacant house. He proved his good character and was dis charged. He was without funds and came here a short time ago in ill health with letters to two ministers of the city, had paid his way till Sat urday night and was only sleeping in the vacant house to save expenses till he could hear from friends.

ALMOST 1 MURDRR
F. B. Stratman Cut M. Butkai's Hes d
 Open With Bottle.

The beer cellar under the Central hotel was the scene of a lively encoun-
 ter yesterday afternoon that with the display of q little more muscle on the part of the aggressor would have made the services of a coroner desirable. AS it was r. B. Stratman found himself
 in police court in fifteen minutes ana
 inside of an hour he was feeling round
 in his pockets for sixty dollars with which to purchase his freedom. He
 found it and was released from GUS
 tody.
 The superintendent of the cellar is a
 German by the name of NJ. Rutkai. d faithful employe of Joseph Thalheimer-
 Stratman was an understudy and ac- cordipg to Rutkai's statement in court he took more interest III deVising ways and means for keeping his skin full of cooling beverages than he did in learn
 ing how to bottle beer or make busi- ness for the house. Rutkai also lntl- mated that his assailant had longing eyes on his job but was not sufficiently responsible to gain the confidence of the proprietor He said that he could net trust Stratman to go into the store room alone for ever two minutes. If he did a subsequent inves tigation showed at least two empty beer bot
 ties. This was disastrous to the hnan- cial showing of the Storeroom and az gravating to the man in charge. He also said that Stratman frequently
 brought down his friends and tried to prevail on him to give them beer at the expense Of the house and that he in
 variably refused. He thought Strat-
 man had a clientele Of about q hun dred that were willing to get their liquor that way. The trouble has been going on for about three weeks and twice before Stratman tried to chas- tise the plaintiff. Yesterday he began an argument with Rutkai in an effort to convince him that he was uncoIn- promisingly stingy and when the latter told him he did not belong to the thief gang he flew into passion and hit Hutkai ever the head with a bottle, cutting gash about two inches long in the back of his head. The man bled profdsely and had a shirt soaked in blood in court as an exhibit.
 When asked to tell his story the de fendant said he had nothing to say eX-
 cept that Rutkai called him thief and he got mad and hit him first with
 his fist and then with a bottle. The rec order said If you had had a gun you would have shot him just as quick would you not?" The defendant said he would, and the court then asked him if he was sober. Receiving an af- firmative answer the recorder admin istered a little lecture about his taking | the matter so lightly and proceeded to fine him sixty dollars.
 Rutkai then made all practicable
 haste to a doctors office to get his head sewed up. The trial Of the case was rather an interesting one and the broken German Of the plaintiff greatly amused all present notwithstanding
 the seriousness of the matter. Rutkai's wound will probably heal all right, though in this so1t of weather it is a gash no one would want to take chances with. Men have been killed by lighter blows.

NEW OIL DISTRICT
Encouraging Result of Explorations
 In Davidson's Canyon.

The first thing in the way of a gen. uine oil boom struck Tucson in the vicinity of the Park View hotel Sat ufday morning. says the Citizen. \ man brought in so!nc rock from DaVid- sons canyon this morning that would serve as excellent oil indica tionS any place. It was q Shale formation and very much decayed. The rock smelled strongly of oil, and showed it's presence particularly when q flame was applied to it. The samples brought in this morning were from the surface only The formation changes somewhat as depth is gained, and shows more as phaltum.
 DaVidSCn's canyon is located about twenty-five miles south of Tucson. The springs in that vicinity have been known to show the presence of oil years ago. but prospectors never took pains to look into the matter. A To- cal company Was formed SCme time ago to exploit the ground and the pre- motors naturally feel eiated over the strike
 About one pound of the rock was pulverized and tested. The results to say the least are most fattering About an ounce of high grade oil was obtained from the sample oi rock. The company proposes to sink on the prop erty Gt an early date.
 The enormous benefits to be derived from a gusher in this vicinity are hard to estimate. A great impetus would be given to mining and every other in dustry. It is to be hoped that the company will push its drill down to the gDal 3t m o9rly- date
