the charge of grand larceny. He was acquitted on that charge. but the no- toriety secured put the Arizona officers in touch with him. matter in which he was also aided somewhat through the correspordence between Conchin and his wife.
 He started back from Little Rock with Conchin in irons. but at small station this side of Forth Worth he managed to free himself and jumped from the train. The sheriff was not very far behind him. but Conchin is handy with his feet, and covered thir- ty miles before the sheriff caught up with him.
 One evening last March. NJ. War nerlrcs, who is proprietor of one of the largest stores in Tombstone, left his safe open for a few minutes while he stepped out of the store. When he re- turned an envelope containing $100 was missing. Conchin. who was around the store at the time, had disappeared also, and all trace of him was lost un- til a few weeks ago, as above stated.

HE IS A WHISPER
More Light on the Business Transac-
 tions of Wm. Caldwell

When the police threw William Cald- well, ,ne Lowell forger, into jail they put quietus on the operations of one of the most energetic business men that can be found anywhere. Had he re- mained at large little longer he would have had things humming in thisvalley. There would have been something do- ing for most everybody. As it is, he has several people jumping sidewise. He came here about a month ago. stopping at the Gregory house under an assumed name. About three weeks ago he took up his residence at the ranch of J. D. Gilbert, giving his name
 there as James K. Martin. He is suf-
 fering from lung trouble and wanted to get a taste of country life and good Arizona air He represented himself as being well to do, and one day asked Mir. Gilbert if he had ever seen any of the new $500 bills. Receiving a nega- tive answer, he promised to show him
 a roll in the afternoon. but he forgot all
 about it, and when reminded of it said he was too tired then to go to his trunk for the goods. It was never mentioned again.
 Incidentally he thought he might do
 a little speculating while he was re- cuperating his health. so one day he | bought a ranch of a MT. Weller and
 was to have made a cash payment of
 $2O0 on it Friday. But Friday he was
 in jail and could not keep his appoint ment. Previously he bought a horse of
 John Cree on time. He was allowed | to take the animal but title was not to pass till it was paid for. When he went to jail he left the horse in a livery
 stable
 1 He had also bought saddle and
 bridle of Norman Gilbert, a son of J. D.
 Gilbert, and $11.65 worth of hay from
 another man. Another day when ther4 was not much doing he bought buggy of a milkman named MorrelI. He
 offered to pay for it at the time if | Aiorrell could change a hundred dollar bill, but as he couldn't, the buggy was 1 turned over on the purchasers honor,
 ths seller no doubt being temporarily | hypnOtized by the manf who spoke of
 hundred dollar bills as carelessly as
 the ordinary capitalist does of beer
 checks The buggy needed some re- pairs. so it was brought to town and
 left in the shop of J. D. Strange. where
 it was fixed up in good order. Yester- day Mir. Strange levied an attachment on the vehicle for the work.
 Martin, or Caldwell, told the police he could tell of quite a number of , things he had done here and elsewhere but that he was a quiet man and pre- ferred not to talk A second telegram was received from the superintendent of police of Lowell asking that he be , held ten days. during which he would secure requisition papers.

 FAITH AND WORKS
A Cattleman Too Badly Scared to
 Ever Be Discouraged

Whether he wins or looses, Billy
 Moore, formerly deputy sheriff of this
 county has sublime faith in the fli-
 ture. and he is following il up with
 works that ought to bring him success
 if there is anything at all to hope for.
 Mr. Moore has been for many years
 engaged in stock raising above Reno
 mountain, in the TOntO basin country.
 Many times the future of the cattle
 business has looked discouraging. but
 in the end those who could hang on
 found their investment a profitable one.
 He was in town yesterday and says
 that just now the cattle business in
 his section presents more gloomy out
 look than it ever did. but he still has
 lots of faith in the future and prCpOs es to stay with it. He had q good Of fer to sell out last spring, but refused it. believeing the coming summer would be d wet one. He had another
 offer yesterday that was tempting, but
 he put the tempter behind him. He said the present is the eighth success sive season in his region for a scarcity of water and he feels sure that some thing will happen in the heavens be- fore long. In fact, he has a hunch that before July slips away there will be some rainstorms that will make the people of this valley wish they had started the reservoir enterprise few years sooner.
 But just now he is up against the water question himself in a way he cannot dodge it. Springs that hereto lore were never dry have not only stepped running. but he is digging some Of them out by the roots in order to get water for his cattle and for camp purposes. Springs that in former years were surrounded by willows and other vegetation are now only bare spots on the face of nature. and there ! is no WhiSkcrS around them at all. not even sage brush. But he is in the bus mess to win or lose, and thinks his 1 trusty shovel will keep the threats of 1 his lowing kine moistened yet little | while till old Jupiter Pluvius gets ashamed of himself and turns things | loose. Then his faith will have made | him whole, and possibly q good margin | beside.
