SHERIFF'S BUSY DAY
John Havard Locked Up on a Charge
 of Forgery

Yesterday Was a very busy sunday at l the sherin's office. The activity set in carly with the arrest of John Havard. the notorious. on charge of forgery. IL is regarded as extremely probable that he will land in the peuiteutiary or in the asylum. lie began Saturday evening scattering forged checks all over town. They ranged in amount from s to $-0. The signature of Flank CTiswell appears ou the check which
 were drawn payable t1 Havlrd
 Havard was drunk as he always is when he commits the crimes which have distinguished him in this com mUnity for the last seven years though
 he vas not too drunk to write, OF tJ know what checks are used for. At one place where he made the cheeks out he left some of them lying on table already signed and prepared for circulation. He took not fewer than twenty away with him but only five
 have so far been heard from.
 Gavard's presence in town was noted by the officers early in the evening and knowing that ne was drinking they as sumed that something would happen before morning. Officers Lawrence and Hanson therefore shadowed him from dark till Mr Lawrence arrested him about 1:3O Sunday morning at the corner Cf Wall and Washington streets. They were expecting him to steal something and had no knowledge of the check enterprise till late at night when Capt Bush informed them he was looking for a MeXi-a0 tact had Ipcrpetrated a shady checS transaction. Between F and o'cIoCs, Havard un- tied his team which was hitched iu front of NcClUre's drug store. drove around block and then tied up again at the court house plaza opposite Dobbs' place. Then he went to the Bank Exchange saloon and being un- der the influence Of liquor when he came out MT. Lawrence arrested him on mis iemauOr charge Havard at the time drew a check from his pocket and tried to ear it up when the officer. ! thinking Of what Capt. Bush had said prevented him. Then they took up his back trail and found that he had passed 80 and a SEQ check at a game 1 iH the Capitol and two others flr twenty dollars each ct the Wellington
 and Anheu1cr. The checks be tried , to tear up was for twentr dollars. All the checks were dated Jan. g. signed Frank C. Criswen and made paya ble

RICHARD LAZARUS MANIA
Probably Revealed Bis Identity as 9
 Badly Wanted Murderer.

The arrest Of Richard Lsz-rus Sat. urday night for "swattins" a young man on the jaw as he emerged from the Ford hotel, and foP no oflense in the world except that he happened to b. whistling, a diversion that Lazarus ob- jects to. vas recorded in yesterday mornings issue as an amusing rather than a serious incident. There is now every reason to believe that Lazarus is 8 red-handed murderer and that the ir- cidcnt Of Saturday night will prove his undoing.
 Lazarus has been known for the few years he lived here as a crank on the subject Of whis,iing and has had trouble several times by reason of his interfer- cnce with that legal though sometimes objectionable pastine. He had come to be known by various nicSnanes. among them "Whistling Rufus" and it was his peculiar eccentEiCity as much as anything else that caused his seclusion in the insane asylum for couple of years.
 Marshal Kinney hes a way Of filing and preserving the circulars received almost daily at his office regarding per sons who are wanted elsewhere, and the

to Havard. Alter being placed in the city jail Capt Bush said to him: ."Havard you knew you were doing wrong in signing Criswelrs name Havard replied that that was robody's d. business but his own. Yesterday a warrant for forgery was issued in Justice Burnett's court and he was transferred to the county jail.
 This is a new line cf crimina.ity for Havard. He has hitherto confined himself to theft bat so far as is known he has stolen nothing within the last two months. About that long ago he was arrested and when his place was searched property belonging to nine teen people was found concealed about his house.
 The matter was settled by the pay ment of Havard of amounts agregdting about $500. He said then that he was done stealing and drinking.
 Several other persons were locked up on charges of drunkenness and dis tuIbarces of the peace. The last ar rest made was that of Miguel Acedo on telegram from Tucson saying he was wanted there for a felony.

 There seems to be great deal of mystery surrounding the death or ACosta. lie received his knife wound about eight days ago. and refused un- til nc was dying to tell who cut him.
 When he knew that he was to die n told his mother the name of the man who had Given him his death thrust but refused to give her any oI the par ticulars Of the atfrGy in which ne was injured
 At the inquest yesterday Dr. Ed mundsol testified that h. had been called in to attend the wounded m-r. He made visits for three days. ouj arter refused tc go more on account of the actions of those who were attending tue injured man.
 Dr. EdmUndson said that each time he returned he found that some one had removed the bandages he hac placed cn the wound and replaced them WiJh other remedies.
 The cause Of death was inflammation which set in shortly after the serious wound ceased to have proper medical attention. The dead man refused until the last to throw any light on the affair.

An Illinois Gentleman Speaks Q Good
 Word to Senator Cullom.

Mention was made a few days ago of ! T. Scott Of Aurora. H.. who i= spending the winter here and of his in- t=Iest in the statehood question. That interest has prompted him to write the r. lowing letter which should be of sOm- weight if it reaches Washington before final acticn on the omnibus bill. end iu any event the letter shows the oouciJ sion that is always arrived aJ 3y brOad-miaded. observing men who visit Arizona and make a careful study e- conditions:
 Phoenix. Ariz., January 2, 1903.
 Hon. S. NJ. Cullon. United States sena- ter, Washington. D. C..
 Dear Sir-Having left my Illinois home at Aurora to spend a part of tho winter here hoping to b=EehJ my health l have become a strong advocate for the bill now before the senate admit tir- Arizona to statehood. My reasons for this are.
 First-That the people are justly eu- titled to it by reason of their energy and enterprise ir putting it in a con dition that will ft it to take its place .in the great union of states.
 S-cond-I find here an educated. re- fined people that would grace any so- ciety in any state of the union Thitd-A state of safety tO person and property, an orderly. quiet people not eXcelied by any other place in the cOur- try that l have ever visited.
 Fourth-The schools in equipment and buildings ar= models that would GO credit 10 a much older civilization.
 Fffth-TEe churches are numerous. nearly aH denominations being repre- scn,ed, and in most of them the at tendance being very large, much more so than il my home. city of Aurora.
 Lastly-The earnest yedrning and pleading fer statehood Of all ages and . conditions Of the people Of all political parties and I believe that were It granted to them it would unite western and eastern men and capital and even tuaIiy become Q strong republican stata. Now, my dear senator, ] have given you these unbiased opinions for what they are worth, hoping that they may lead you to e different view Of the situation and that your vote may be rendered on the side of right and justice to this people. I have met you in Aurora and
 Washington, and though you may not remember me would kindly refer you to my fellow-townsman. the Hon. A. c. Hopkins. soon to be your colleague in the United States senate. Very truly yours, J. H. SCOTT.

A Statistical Comparison of Which the
 Territory May Be Pr.ud.

In these days of Arizona's adole- scencc. while she is yet planning for the future and for the accomplishment Of great things when she has reached more mature development, the d. Tecting Of atteation o her many charms and the occasional tossing of bouquet at herself should not ae coz siJerld imnodgst OF count against her purity oi purpose. That she should strive to b. more attractive than some of her sister states and territories and be proud of her uchiavem..ts is surely pardouablc in her blc mins youth. And tGe acknOWlLdg sut of the grea, mother loveruUclt at. NasIiIstpu through the medium gf pJsta! sta,is- ties recently compiled is authority for the Ittls uoseSay herewith presented, showing how much more rapidly she is developing matroI.y attributes than is her elder sister. New Mexico.
 Ncw Mexico ia supposed to hove at least twice as numerous population as Arizona. Vt she has fourteen second and third ,!osa postoHi,es while Ari- zOna has nineteen. The receipts of the uCstofices iu New Mexico during 1sCl were Sg2.CSt while for tEe same TeIioi the reCeip,= of the nineteen Arizona p1stoHces were $l29.267. AL buQuerque .s her largest office with receipts of $22. 100 the only other post office in New Mesi,' having over $i0.- GOO receipts being Saatl F. whose re Csipts were SltCeJ. Tn Arizona the postofCCs having receipts in excess of 510.O0J ase. Phoenix S26.S6t. Tucson. S1S.10o; Prescott s145C0. Risbee. S12. 722. It is seen therefore that with half the population AIizcrc returns q vastly greater revenue.
 New Mexico. it is true. has more fourth class offices than Arizona but they dc not signify anything in eitE er territory for their total revenue in either territory does rot aggregate the revenue of a single large town and they are TaiCt-irei merely as an accom- Erdutou C. the people. doing well f they half pay for their maint3iuence.
 &Eother thing that it is not out O. place G. co1 attectir1 to. is the fact that '- Arizona there are n1 govern me-t ouiloi- es while in many states there arc government buildings in towns smaller than several Arizona cities. In AiAalsas for instance. there i- 8 gov errmc-t building in ore city whose postal receirts are only SI.ooo.
 Further. there is r1 state or terri tory where the ratio of increase is am nua!iy greater than in Arizona. and it is a matter of general information among those who live hera and know the facts that the pGstoffce busi-ezz i1 the larger Arizona towns is incrcas- ing more rapidly than the government in it's wisdom finds it convenient to keep Up with. When a u-stofTlce is rc-rated and new clerks authorized. the situation. especially in the winter time becomes very strenuous before it can be made clear to tha departm mt that greater facilities are demanded and more help needed.

arrest of Lazarus reminded him that he had a circular regarding an auu-whist- ling crusader that came to the office before his administration. He looked it Up and found reward of $500 of fered by the state of California with S50 added money by the sherin of Sacra- mento county for the arrest of one Daniel Graves. wanted for murder. The circular was issued May 10, 1897. and the substance of it is as follows.
 Daniel Graves, fifty-three years old. five feet ten to six feet tall, weight 150 pounds, slim built, sandy or fiorid com pleEiCn. slightly walks with his head down. blue eyes. general ly wears boots with pants tucked il them; wore when he left Sacramento g mustache and sideburns of a browuish color 2t the roots and sandy at the ends. H-s thin face high cheek bones and brownish hai". Graves was born April T.. 1St4. Has been married and was divorced from his wife. Amanda M. Graves, iu 1876 at Columbus. Chero- kee county. Kan. Tn 1889 he s5id d min ing claim known as Molly Cook lode to one HezeGiah StoIms in Arlpahoa county Colo. The warrautee mining deed is signed by W. r. Foreman. r,.- cordcr; W. W. Wharton. deputy re- Corder. Tn 1893 he did odd jobs around Portland Ore. Since his arrival in Sac Iamehto about year and half ago CpIevi3us to May 10. 1s9T he has been trimming trees. cutting lawns and doing general garden work. Hc has p5culiarity which will soon show itself wherever he may locate.
  sounding of railroad or factory whistles greatly irritates him. and he was ire qusnuy called 'Whistling Pete" On July 10, 1896, in Sacramento city. a, about 9.30 T. m.. be shot and killed % young nan by the name Of Joseph Mitchell
 If Graves and Lazarus are rcI one and the same man. GIr. Kinney tninEs they certainly ought to re. for the description is almost perfect nt for La2l rus. more nearly so than would be expected after six ye-rs had elapsed. Lazarus has no sideburns. but there are those here who remember when he diJ have. He has followed nothing bat gardening and tree trimming since ho lived here. except when he was iu the asylum through the ecceutriCity noted There is one resident ot the city col ored woman. who says sine formerly kneW Lazarus in Kansas. It is also known that he has generally worn boots here and with his pants tucked ia them. The description, therefore. even to t:e minor details seems to be perfect. and in the matter Of age there is little 1T any discrepancy.
 Mir Kinney wired the sheriff at Sac ramento and was instructed to hold Lazarus til further orders.
