DUSTY HAS SKIPPED
RACE HORSE MAN GETS AWAY
 WITH THE COIN.
Scheme Was to Raffle Thoroughbred Horse-He Took the Proceeds and the Horse Without Adieus.

Cecil Roades, not the founder of Rhodesia, better known as Dusty, ' has parted from his many friends il Bisbee without the formality of a handshake. With him has gone the famous loser of scrub races, that fine looking good-for-nothing piece If horse flesh, Dusty" Rhoades.
 For weeks the two Dusty's, man anl horse, could be seen on Main street in front of the saloons where they displayed themselves every evening, the admiration of the passing throng. The horse was to have been raffed and the tickets were to have been sold at prices ranging from a cent Q S2. There were many buyers who would have liked to own Dusty (the horse).
 Yesterday it was rumored about the streets that the owner of the horse had decamped. taking with him the money that had been paid 10 him for tickets drawn by the purchasers. It is also said that Dusty got away with more than the money which ne collected on the horse raffle. He owed some bills which he forgot to pay.
 Rhoades worked in the mines here and was known as a crank on horse flesh. He entered Dusty, his magni- ficent looking animal. in every race that has been pulled off in this vicin- ity for the past year.
 There are many who would like 10 meet up with Mir. Rhoades an l squeeze his hand in the good old way until he coughed up the several amounts due to those whom he bilke3 with his raffle scheme.
