high grade worth about $50, to a man
on Kansas avenue for $3.50 This man
was suspicious Of the bargain, and made
the man give him a bill of sale This
scrap Of paper was the undoing of Mr..
Williams, and the police fell on him in

 Just as soon as she had gained her freedom. she was again arrested by the city police on a charge of having violated one of the city ordinances. She secured the services of attorneys and they had her appear before Judge Kent at 4 o'clock in order to secure her release upon a habeas corpus pc tition The judge did not have time to hear the arguments in her favor or against her, and continued the case until noon today. He did give her into the hands of the county authorities again awaiting her ability to get bail in the sum of $1,000, but up 10 the hour of going to press, she was un- able to produce.
 , The city officials have two telegrams regarding her, one being received from Tucson yesterday and another today, which was even more urgent from Bisbee. The outcome of the case is looked for with interest.

 With Holding Up Miner anc
 Convicted
 From a gentleman direct from Can anea, who is in Bisbee, and will re main here, we are informed of bad transaction which is the uppermost topic among Americans i1 Cananea.
 Some six days ago, one Gill. time keeper at the Capote boarding house was held up in the day by two men. Gill had money on his person at the time. One of the men pressed the muzzle of gun to Gill's heart, ac- cording to Gilrs story and ordered him to throw up his hands. Gill threw up his hands in the attempt to knock the gun away from him, when the man snapped it, the gun failing to go of. The gun which appeared to be a double action weapon. was then dis charged by the highwayman at Giips breast, infiicting no injury and the bad men fled in the darkness. Now an American whose true name We could not learn. but who was joculariy nic named Dusty Rhodes" was arrested charged with the crime He was tax en before Kosterlinski for trial. He be. ing the Cordada District Police. Gill identified Dusty Rhodes" as the man who shot at him and he was duly convicted, and a sentence of death or a long term in Arispe will surely fol low. Dow, Dusty Rhodes was an inofensive hard working miner. his only fault being that he engaged in an occasional quiet drunk for him self, and his room mate swears that on the night of the hold up he heard the shot, and at that time Dusty Rhodes" was in his room. This man vent to the officers and wanted to tes tify to this fact, but was informed that they had all the witnesses they needed. If these facts be true, every American ought to know it, and this statement is made by man who has lived in Bisbee for years.

To Local Stockholders and Aovase
 That the Checks Be cashed-The
 Stockholders Say They Will
 Stand Pat"
 The South Bisbee stockholders, that is, those who reside in Bisbee and vicinity, were surprised yesterday to receive identically the same checks previously rendered by the officers of the South Bisbee company. as their first dividends on their stock as re- suit of the sale of the property of the company to the Lake Superior and Pittsburg company.
 These same checks first made their appearance in Bisbee some time in August, shortly after the board of di- rectors of the South Bisbee company had made the sale. These cheeks were politely returned from whence they came and suit was instituted by the local stockholders against the di- rectors of the company for the pur- pose of returning to the treasury of the company in the neighborhood of 3,000, ,060 shares of South Bisbee stock which the local stockholders claimed had been fraudulently issued from the treasury. To the complaint of the plaintiffs the defendants filed demur- Ter which was sustained and leave granted to file an amended complaint, which was done and the case is now in the Los Angeles court and is ex- pected to have another hearing in the very near future.
 The checks received by several To- cal stockholders were accompanied by a lengthy letter which urged the stockholder not to delay in cashing their checks, but from present indica- |tions they will meet the same fate as before and will be returned to the sigrer and the suit for the cancella- ton of the 5000, GOO shares continued in the courts. Local stockholders claim to have ex- cellent advice that they will win their suit in Los Angeles and if they do the money paid for the South Bisbee property will be apportioned among | 3, ,000, 900 shares less than now in- tended by the present board sof di- rectors.

The boy remained Thoughtful for

one summer day she noticed that some

UNCLE HORNER'S GAME.
II Was Romantic and All That Sort
of Thing Until He Was Arrested
for Perjury.

To swear that a girl is ''Over 49,"
when she is merely standing on the
figures rs" cut in the soles OF her
shoes, is to swear falsely, according
90 a decision in the courts of Wash
ingtOn.
1t was this sort of legal rebus that
secured the happy marriage of two
young people of Colfax, Wash, against
the wish of the young woman's stern
parent and the conviction of a mu-
tual friend who, in his kindness of
heart, failed to realize the difference
between a technical loophole and
legal quibble.
George F. Horner, prosperous farm
er. who lives near Viola, Idaho, Is
the victim of his own sense of humor
and his ignorance of the stern literal
ness of iuTies.
Horner's little joke was not failure
so far as the lovers are concerned. j
n. Keeney and Miss Mary Spray are
as happy a young couple as you VIII
find anywhere, though the brides Ia

Miss Mary is not yet IS. but she loved
young Keeney and was determined to
marry him. The refusal of her IA
theirs consent stood ike wall in the
way until Horner, who is a relative OF
Keenev's, took the matter in hand
leave it to me, will fix ii, be said.
And he did. BY making an affidavit
before the county auditor that Miss
Spray was "over IS" based upon the
fact that he had cut the figures "l8
in the soles of her shoes, he secured
a license for her TO marry Keeney,
and the ceremony was performed.
When Papa Spray heard OF the mar
riage he was in a fine rage and at once

was so morose that Mendes questioned
him until he confessed the reason.
He was in love with his employers
daughter and she with him. The mas
ter printer had risen from the case
himself, and his present fortune and
social position did not warrant expec-
tation of a rich Son-in-law, so that the
young printer had been confident and
serene until, having decided that there
was no use in waiting longer, he had
recently asked for the young woman's
hand.
Then he had a painful surprise. The
girls father was financially embar-
rassed, it appeared, and a penniless
Gon-in-law was not TO be thought Of
The favored suitOr must have six thou
sand francs, at least. So the poor fell
low was in despair and talked about
drowning himself. Mendes himself
was pretty hard up in those days. He
advised the discOnsolate lover 10 ap-
peal TO Victor Hugo for assistance.
The young printer naturally objected
that Hugo had beggars on his hands
and would not be likely 10 do anything
for a total stranger. But Mendes in
sisted and the printer complied.
On Mendes next visit. two weeks
later, the young man met him at the
station and showed him 5000 francs in
bank notes which Hugo had sent him
with these words:
"I am not rich just now. Please ex-
cuse me. Here are 1000 francs"
The printer said that he would
marry his Clementine next month. Al
though her father had demanded twice
the sum ne could not refuse when he
learned OF Victor Hugo's part in the
affair.
So they were married. How long or
how happily they lived together Mr..

During Hugo's exile Mendes was ed

reasons OF economy, was printed in a
