A CHILD STEALING CASE
Back OF Which There Are Some Ex-
traordinary Circumstances.


An extraordinary case of child steal
ing came to light yesterday when John
O Eckel applied for warrant in JUS
tice Burnetts court for the arrest of
his Arother William L. Eckel. As
matter of fact, the brother is already
under arrest at San Bernardino. Cal.
and the child, girl of Is, the daugh-
Ter of the complainant, is also being
held. The object of the application yes
:erday was the beginning of eXtradition
proceedings.
The offense charged was committed
on June 10. William Eckel had for
some time been living with his broth
err but his conduct in respect of the
child. Hattie L. Eckel, had been such
that his brother had ordered him away
from the house. He left and it was
supposed that he had left town and
gone to the home of a sister at Long
Eeach, Cal. That was more than three
weeks ago The girl disappeared on
the night of the 10th. and it was found
that she had gone out on the Maricopa
q Phoenix train. 1t was also learned
that there was man with her answer
ing to the description of William
Eckel. At any rate. they were found
together at San Bernardino and were
arrested on a Geographic request. 1t
is doubtful now if William Eckel left
town at all until the night of June 16.
Arizona republican., 1903-06-20

His sister at Long Beach said he did
not appear there at all.
The Circums tances of the departure
of the girl are these: She had been
taking lessons in dress making from
Mrs Moore. On Tuesday she went
about her duties as usual, leaving horne
in the morning on her bicycle. Sc did
not return that night and a search
was instituted. The police were in
formed but the matter was kept quiet
1t was later learned that the girl had
left town and that when she was last
seen she was wearing pair of goggles
and was heavily yelled. Still later it
was found that she and the man who
was recognized from descriptions OF
him as her uncle. had been at Cotton.
They we're next definitely located at
San Bernardino where their arrest was
ordered.
1t has been reported that William
| Eckel went away and that he return
ed to settle UP some business affairs
here and that he kent himself in the
dark though he was recognized by one
or more persons who knew him. His
brother says he is sure that there was
no correspondence between him and
| his daughter 50 that it is quite likely
that he met her in person here and ar
ranged the flight.
William Eckel is said to be wealthy
and it is said that he had promised
| to make the girl his heir. The father
| is also in good circumstances. The
| family lives in Brill's addition ahd
has not been in Phoenix very long.
When application was made to Act
| ing Governor Stoddard for requisi-
| ton he consented to issue it, but he
could not guarantee the expenses of the
agent of the territory, since, though
the statute makes its issuance impera-
tive, it makes no provision for funds
for expenses. There is no fund which
could be drawn upon for this kind of
an expenditure. unless il should be the
private fund of the governor.
The acting governor did not like to
make a draft on that fund and he de-
cided 10 let the matter rest until the
return of Governor Brodie, who will be
in the city not later than Monday.
There is u danger, though, that the
authorities at San Bernardino may not
be willing to hold the prisoners. There
is~ no doubt that if an agent of the
territory should undertake the trip at
his own expense he would be Teim-
bursed by the next Legislature.
1t is estimated that the expense of
bringing the man and the girl back
would be about $500.

MYSTERY PROBABLY SOLVED
OF Disappearance OF Scared Stranger
Quarter Of a Century Ago.

Some of the papers of the southern
part of the territory have described the
discovery of a wild man in the neigh
borhood of Tombstone. Mr.. L. w.
Spears of this city believes that this is
the solution of a mystery which had
its beginning twenty-three years ago.
He was then living a Fairbanks. An
eastern syndicate had secured the con-
cession of large tract of land in
southern Mexico and was filling il up
with colOnists. Several carloads of
them passed through Fairbanks one
day and for some reason We're held up
at that station for some time
lot of cowboys and miners hap
pened to be at Larieu's place and some
one suggested the giving of the tender
feet touch of frontier life One Of
them. Jack Foley, a rough but harm
less joker, arrayed himself in chaps,
buckled sixshOoter about him and
stuck feathers in his hat He entered
one Of the cars, waving big cheese
knife in one hand, and. with the revolt
yer in the other. declaring himself to be
the "Caulifiower of the San Simon" he
began shooting holes in the top of the
ear The emigrants got, some at the
doors and some at the windows, and
took TO the adjacent brush.
one of them, a young man in a long
linen buster. got ashamed of his scare
and returned, saying that no desperate
could brighten him if he had time TO
think about it. Foley renewed the gy-
rdtions Of the cheese knife and began
shooting dangerously near the EASTERN
er, who finally became panic-stricken
and ran itne the desert An effort was
made to overtake him, but his fright
grew wings on his heels. The train
could wait no longer and went without
nm. He was sought for by cowboys
and prospectors in every direction. but
neither he nor his remains were ever
found Ever since that event Foley has
gone by the name of the "Cauliflower
of the San Simon"
Mr. Spears believes that the wild man
is the young man who disappeared from
that colonists' train almost a quarter
of century ago.
