Robbery in an Arizona Town Results
Arrest of Outlaws.

Bisbee. AriZ., Jan. 13.-Naco. n Dor
der town, and one of the toughest in
all the West, was thoroughly aroused
over a robbery of $1,000 last night.
Cowboy Johnson, a 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
$1,000 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
a battle resulted in the wounding of
Crawford. Two of Captain Mossmin's
rangers appeared and succeeded in
placing them in Jail. These men are
said to belong to 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.

WEBSTER DAVIS AT DENVER.
Addresses Monster Meeting Of Boer
Symp hizerS-ResoIutions 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 thoater. 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 7:3o o'clock. an hour before Mr..
Davis was introduced, there was not
n vacant seat in the theater. and for
fully an hour and 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 6 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 tho theater and the 9TH
er coming away disappointed.
1t was most appreciative audience.
Mr.. Davis spoke for .wo hours. and
was incessantly interrupted with APP
plauSc, cheers and laughter.
Strong resolutions were adopted urg-
ing Congress to protest to Great Bri-
tain against its course toward the
Beers.

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 off to
one side and burned in blaze per-
haps three feet long and a foot wide.
This, to Boulder people, was quite a
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 and
some at cents. has risen to IL 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 mile and II half wide and
from forty to fifty miles long If
true, this would shut out some of the
eastern wells. The truth or faiiacy of
this position will be tested soon.

OIL AT DE BEQUE.
PRODUCT OF GOOD QUALITY.
At Depth Of 625 Feet Flow of Fair
Volume is Cut.

De Beque Colo. Jan. IA Denver
Republican special says: The drill ut
the well of the De Beuue Oil and Devel-
ment Company went into an oil sand
about noon to-day. developing Il flow of
oil that is said by the drillers to indi-
cate at least ten barrels Il day and
perhaps more. As Il consequence De
Bcque is wild with excitement tonight.
The strike was made ut depth of
G15 feet. The oil is of an olive color
giving off n strong smell of Kerosene
and is believed to contain IL high per
cent of the Illuminating quality
That the oil is of n parailine. base is
beyond question. When put in ii cold
place it becomes whitish and translu-
cent and of the consistency of soft
lard. Several barrels of the oil have
been saved in baling from the well.
Indications of the strike We're seen last
week, when a second flow of salty
water was encountered. giving off
strong smell of petroleum. A new set
of tubing was then put in. necessitatins
n temporary suspension of drilling. In
consequence of this the present oil is
brought out free from water or other
foreign matter.
This is the third strike of oil in this
We'll. he HrSl WAS at -oO 1eet, Wnen
several buckets Were secured. The sec
ond, at 315 feet produced even less,
but indicated a high grade oil. The
present strike indicates a pay well on
the authority of Professor Arthur
Lakes, who says:
Il am able to say that the present
flow of oil is encountered in the Lara
ME cretaceous, or coal measure sand
stones. The estimated distance below
the present depth to the Montana Gre
taceous sandstones, in which the Flor
ence oil is found, is from 1,5OO to 1000
feet
1t will require day or so to ascer- 4
tain the exact flow in the well and |
when this is done the question of con-
tinuing down or torpedOing to ascertain
how much the flow can be increased
will be decided upon.

down on the floor, secured between
$500 and $500 and escaped.
A third man. supposed to be a con-
federate, but not masked. guarded the
entrance while the robbery was COM
mitted. Jimmy Driscoll, an employe
who did not readily comply with the
command to lie down, received a
heavy blow on the head with a revol-

skull was fractured. DIR. J. A. Frame.

on the head.
a better time for the robbery could
not have been chosen. The manager
and his assistants were counting the
money that had been received during
the day. and as betting on the last
races of the day ceases at about G3O

SHOW INTEREST r
@. in THE BOULDER OIL FIELDS

Boulder. Colo. Jan. 12.-(Special to
the Denver Republican, THE 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
porarly at the Mckinley well No. .,
where boring is going on below the
2,2NfoOt mark. where a vein of oil
was struck Friday night. The stay
there was short. but the stay at the
Arnold well, half a mile further north,
was of greater duration.
The casing in this well was complct-
ed to the sandstone this afternoon
about 1:30 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 cushion.
as in an inverted bucket. Then piece
after piece was screwed on until the
depth of 2,I2O feet was reached, when
the casing rested on the sandstone
formation beneath. The drill was then
let down, the cap broken and the wa

The plan for penal colony for an
archists, proposed or suggested by
Senator Vest, seems to meet the an
archist situation the most thoroughly;
besides there is a poetical side to the
idea Of letting the anarchists work
out their theories on themselves. A
fertile island, capable OF yielding its
Inhabitants bountiful living with an
average amount of labor, should be
chosen, and the anarchists should be
deported there and left to themselves
and their theories. In order that no
doubts might be raised as to their
having a fair show, the government
might support them for year or two
and supply them with all the imple-
ments of industry and the comforts of
a high civilization. Af+er such a pc
riod, let them work out their own des-
tiny, the government only taking care
that no one should escape from the
island. 1t is safe conjecture that un-
der such conditions the anarchists
would have their theories changed by
close experience with practical affairs;
they would come to learn respect for
government and to know that a gov
ernment by majority is much prefer
able to government by any one pos
sessed OF the greatest physical force

wearing of velvet will destroy the SYM

will ruin their compilations. 1t begins
to look as If even hereditary caste
privilege ip England has it's limita-

that his imperial majesty has dictated
to the naughty peeresses what brand

ing compilations for the august occa-
sion, and then the worm may turn.
They are telling again in London O..
Lord Roberts. intention TO resign from
the post Of comnander-in-chief of the

out of the fact that Lord Roberts is
ready to resign whenever his resigna-

sired, for that natter.

He was subject to attacks of epilep-
sy, and had an attack in the forenoon,
and was feeling very i'll when last

the fact that he had pitched forward,
falling head foremost among some
fruit jars, which cut a wound In his
head, no doubt dying instantly. Cor
oner Peel held an inquest, and the
verdict WAS that he came to his death
from heart disease or epilepsy. Mr..

time, and sevearl weeks ago sprained
his back while at work on Second
