am one of the sergeants In charge
of the central police station at niAht.
and during the several years I have
held the position some strange things
nave occurred. One of them, and one
that attracted general attention at the
time, was the way the murderer of the
Bolton family walked In on me one
night. A family of five people named
Bolton living in Missouri was slaugh-
tered one night, and, though every
effort was made to find the murderer,
he got clean off. Two years later, one
night Mt II o'clock, a tramp entered
the station and querled of me:
"If will surrender myself, will you
send out for n good luncheon? l have
had nothing to eat for two days"
"What crime nre you guilty OFF,
asked without much interest.
Murder. am the one who killed
the Bottoms out west"
yes, I'll lock you up and give you
luncheon" said, and took him down
stairs, placed him In a cell and then
ordered a lunch for him from night
hawk wagon. l hardly believed him
guilty of any crime whatever, but his
face betrayed his hunger. and l felt
charitably inclined. Before l went Off
duty In the morning l told the fellow
that | should have him sent up as
vagrant, and 1t was then that he told
me his story In such words that could
no Longer doubt him. The result you
know. He was the murderer sure
enough, and he returned to Missouri to
he tried and hung for his brutal crime.
One night year or 80 later as was
eating my lunch Mt midnight an old
woman who ran laundry entered in
an excited state and asked me If there
was such n street In the city as Desoto.
| told her there was. 1t was narrow,
wretched street In the toughest quarter
of the town. Then she asked me II
there was a cheap hotel called tho
Lincoln House on the street. Again
answered In the affirmative. 1t was a
resort Of bad men and had been raided
several times.
Now, let me tell you" she continued,
growing more excited as she talked.
soon after | went to bed tonight
had a dream of being on Desoto street

Republican County Convention.

A convention of the republican party of Santa Cruz county, Ari- zona Territory, is hereby called to meet in Nogales, on Saturday, October 11th, 1902, to which con vention the various precincts of Santa Cruz county are invited to send delegates upon the basis of one delegate for every ten votes or fraction of ten votes cast by that precinct for N. o. Murphy for dele gate to congress in November, 1902. Under this apportionment the vari- ous precincts are entitled to dele gates as follows:

Sopori, precinct created since the last general election, will send one delegate.
 Primary elections or mass-meet- ings are called in the various pre- cincts on Saturday, October 4th, 1902, to select delegates to the county convention. In Nogales, the regularly organized republican club will hold a mass-meeting of republicans to determine the meth cd for selection of delegates. In all other precincts the method adopt ed will be such as the voters may select at such meeting.

Proxies will be recognized only when presented by voter who is a resident of the county from which the same is issued.
 All railroads have bee n asked to make reduced rate for this convention, and if no special rate is in force when delegates leave for the convention, they should take receipts for money paid, so that if possible the matter can be arranged in Phoenix for return transportation.
 A full attendance of delegates is earnestly desired, as well as the presence of representative repub- licans from every part of the terri tory. J. c. ADAMS, Chairman.

I uISudliO to Ndll tbO iOpuOiiS"it county committee of Santa Cruz county met at Nogales, Tuesday, September 2nd.
 The question of calling two con ventions-one to send delegates to the territorial convention, and one to nominate a county ticket-was discussed, and the sense of the com mittee was that as there would be no effort upon the part of the out side precinct to secure representa- tion in more than one convention, and that tocall a single convention to nominate county ticket before the sitting of the territorial con vention, would make a protracted campaign, so it was unanimously agreed to have the committee select delegation to the territorial con- vention and call the county con vention upon the 11th of October
 The delegates selected to attend the territorial convention are Allen T. Bird and D. A. Richardson, of Nogales; R. R. Richardson, of Pa tagonia; Harry Van Treese, of Washington, and Edward Egan, of Calabasas.
 The delegation to the territorial convention was instructed to vote as unit upon all propositions be- fore the convention, but was other wise uninstructed.
 The primary elections or mass meetings, as the voters of the pre- cincts may determine, are called for Saturday, October 4th. By the provisions of the call, which is pub lished elsewhere in these columns, the Republican Club of Nogales will call mass-meeting of repub- ican voters to determine the method of selecting delegates from the precinct.
 In the other precincts the repub- lican electors will determine the method to be adopted when they meet on Saturday, October 4th. The basis of representation of the various precincts as established by the committee, is one vote for every ten votes cast for N. o. Mur- phy for delegate to congress at the last general election. The appor- tionment appears in the call else where. By reference thereto it will be seen that Nogales, which cast 12S votes for MT. Murphy, will have thirteen delegates in the con vention, while the outside precincts which cast 101 republican votes, will have sixteen delegates. The apportionment is as fair as it could very we'll be made.
 The sense of the committee was that the republican party in Santa Cruz county is stronger and more harmonious than ever before in the political history of the region, and that with a good representative ticket it will carry the county.

CHAPTER XXI.

AZ time IL rsskonsd, Guy had so
5ournsd in Goodwill county for
period of two weeks, and two days;
but in the broad flight of events. af-
fecting his life for better or for
worse. this fortnight and more lad
multiplied itself INCREASINGLY.
He had faced the citizens of Con-
cord very early Wednesday morning
and. with the timely aid of Samp-
son, had succeeded In clearing his
fair name Of every suspicion. The
people began to see how they had
wronged the young man, and, as
their anger cooled toward him, it
mounted higher against the Colonel.
When public opinion had reached
the boiling point, the Colonies castle
was stormed and sacked and Guys
last glimpse of the fallen idol was
caught from the procession that
wended its way down the main street
and out of the town. Before these
irate citizens returned. the train
from the west had arrived and de-
parted, and Guy had gone with it.

Tiers estate had sunk from a value
of many thousands to few paltry
hundreds. The dream was past. The
stern awakening was at hand, and
there was nothing for him but work.
As he toiled over some ones set Of
books, he could reflect philosophical
ly on the "rigor OF the game" that
had wrecked him.
Miss Betty was the one bright spo<
In all that chaos of msneuvsr, plot,
counterplot and checkmats. He was
In love with her-hopelsssly, he
feared, in more than one sense of the
word. Had Concord won the county
seat and had he, in the boom" that
followed, realized a small fortune
out of his lots, he might have prose-
cuted his suit, wooed and won. Let
sentimentalists prate as they may,
success in business very often goes
hand-in-hand with success in love.
Besides, Guy had a reserve of pride.
How could he face Miss Betty and
tell her that the son of Montfort
Herbert had hardly dollar that he
could call his ownf No; he would
buckle in, make his mark and then
go to her. Months would certainly
slapse. perhaps years, but II his love
could not Withstand the wear of time
wherein was it worthy7 If she cared
anything for him she would wait. On
the other hand, IL she did not care
for him she would marry some one
else and he would face the future in

forget. 1t was wise counsel that his
heart took from his head and he set
about his plans with courage and de-
termination.
