Bazaar Robbers Captured.

Four of the men who participated
 in footing the Bazaar Department
 store of large amount of clothing,
 silks and jewelry about two weeks ago,
 were caught Sunday night with the
 goods in their possession. Some days
 ago four Of the gang were arrested on
 suspicion, and confined in the tunnel
 until evidence could be secured. Dep
 uty Sheriff Parks, who could give old
 Pinkerton pointers on detectiye work,
 played q smooth trick on the boys
 which threw them On their guard completely. After having them in
 the tunnel several days he called on
 them and told them that he had made q mistake, that they were not the men
 he wanted, and hoped they would overlook his error, etc. He then
 turned them loose, but had several men to watch them. The men felt so safe that the first night they went to their cache, and were there arrested
 with a part of the goods in their possession. They were tried on Tues day before Justice Boyles. Two of them plead guilty and the other two were bound over to appear before the grand jury. Yesterday they were all taken to SOlomonville and placed in jail for safe keeping. The most valua- blc goods were not recovered. Mir. Parks was out considerable money while arranging his plans for their capture. nearly all Of which was made up by the merchants and companies and returned to him. The Bazaar had offered reward Of Sl00 for the arrest of the theives, which was rendered to MT Parks, but he refused it. stating that the store had suffered enough during the last few months. Mir Parks has been congratulated by everybody On his neat piece of work.

AN Fl PasO newspaper recently sent S. H. Newman and "anOther mining man" to the new gold fields of Sierra county, New Mexico, who con demn the "striker as a rank flake. v They state that they could not even obtain a color of gold from the original claim. Mir. Newman is a man of strong prejudices on any subject, and for that reason perhaps his condemna- tion should be taken with some de- gree of allowance. Cripple creek was condemned by scores of mining men with vastly more experience than MT. Newman, and SO was TOnOpah and many other flourishing camps. New Mexico, in years past had a proud record for placer camps. There was ElizabethtOwn, Golden, Pinos Altos. Hillsb0ro, and many others that en- rched the world by many millions of dollars. and it woG'ld not be surpris- ing if many other camps are found equally as good. In early days every bank and in fact almost every store In the territory, was provided with gold sea es, which were in constant use. In recent years, however, but little attention has been paid to placer min ing and now when little gold is struck people go wild with excitement. The Clifton Morenci district produced much placer gold in early days, and doubtless good money could be made from the same ground today by dry washers. which have been worked with great success along the Colorado river.

A. E. Depee, who is engaged in the sawmill and lumber business with Hon. Ira Harper on the Blue about sixty miles from Clifton, was in town this week, and says that they have ex- hausted their contract with the gov ernment, and may not secure another permit. Lumber and mining timbers are now laid down here from mills al Alamagordo at such prices as to leave little profit in the business for local millmen, especially when they are compelled to wagon their stuT sixty miles. Messrs. Harper & Depee have spent many thousands of dollars in building roads in this county. and have also for the past six years lis bursed from s2500 to si0OO per month. which has been a great help to many people. It wonld be loss to the com munity should they be compelled to retire from business.

B. B. Adams, the untiring repre- sentative of the New York Life h. surance company, came down yester- day from Morenci where he spent a week taking lessons in bowling under Professor Jameson. Mr. Adams was not pleased with the levity of an end man of the Morenci Mintrels, who said he bowled principally with V. O. r. "high balls" which are to be had only at wet goods establishments. Mir. Adams has long been resident Of Solomonviile, and is of course a strictly temperance man like all citizens of the county seat. The statement which was intended only as a joke has caused Mir. Adams great uneasiuess of mind and much loss Of sleep. He is a modest, retiring gentleman-like all life insurance agents-and has on sev- eral Occasous been known to refuse high ball" while out for an evenings bowling. The ERA hopes that this statement will set Mir. Adams right with his many friends in the county.

Bob Baily, one of the best known
 peace officers of this section, got good send-otf from an unexpected source Monday morning last. He was riding into the Frisco river from the west bank when his. noted bronco, High flyer, commenced to put on a few ex- tra frills. Bob has a reputation as a bronco buster, and is never so happy as when exhibiting his ability in that line before a large crowd. The crowd soon materialized and watched the ex- hibition with interest. When the bronco reached the center of the stream he made few extra lunges and Bob took header into the water. He reached the other bank looking like d drowned rat, and as mad as wet hen. The spectators yelled with de- light, but Bob could not see where the fun came in. He was so completely covered with slime that even his best friends could not recognize him.

DELI, DUMB AND STARVING

John Brady, eighteen years old, deaf
mute, presented a pitiable condition when
picked up BY Patrolman Martin of the

search Of food. He was shabbily dressed
and unkempt, and on the backs Of his
head was found terrible running sore.
Attention to the boy was called to the
police by President Jacob Ringle Of the
Finance Board.
The unfortunate lad was taken before
Chief of Police Murphy. The Chief, by
writing questions and having them aaS
swered by writing soon found out that he
was an intelligent lad. He gave his name
as John Brady, and wrote that he was
born in Ireland and was educated in the
deaf and dumb school in Trenton. He
was sent to the county jail for safe keep
ing for thirty days.

PLAN TO DIVIDE
GREAT COUNCILS.
Red Men Discuss a Big
Change in Their Organ
ization.
MAKE THREE STATE BRANCHES
Every Evidence of Discord
Has Disappeared Storm
in Atlantic City.

Especial to '"The Jersey City News.")
ATLANTIC CITY, September 1S,
1903. The wigwam of the great council,
Improved Order of Red Men, which had
been established in Marine Hail. Young's
Pier, was all but blown away in the
great storm As one chief remarked:
mo good Indian feels safe when his
w;gwam is built on sand or over the
waves"
As the storm decreased the chiefs one
by one appeared in front of the pier only
to find the paleface guards in command
and refusing to allow any persons on the
pier. For time the chiefs argued in
vain. At. last they were admitted.
When they reached the wigwam and
found everything in disorder they COM
menced to gather up the paraphernalia
and papers. Chief of Record Wilson
Brooks was a happy Indian when he got
his trunk. When the trio returned to
the hotel they received a report from
the scouts which had been sent out to
establish another wigwam. These feet
footed braves had secured Odd Fellows
Hall, and thither the great council
marched late in the afternoon to resume
its deliberations.
The afternoon session was consumed
in acting on the report of the committee
on revised constitution. The report is
said to straighten out the defects in the
present code of laws, also to introduce
number of new features. One is to
divide the State great councils into three
independent coordinate departments
legislative, an executive and a judicial.
The members Of the committee point to
the success of the Federal government
operating under such system, and they
argue that the plan will surely work
with success in the Improved Order of
Red Men.
The plan being an entirely new one
in the order, the chiefs are proceeding
slowly with its consideration to make
it practical and safe. The committee is
comprised Of Robert T. Daniel, of Geor-
gia; Frederick Q. Temple, Michigan, and
George B. Griggs, Texas.
The present officers have another year
to serve. When the general council meets
in 1904 David B. Peterson, Of Camden,
this State, win be candidate for the
Office of great junior sycamore. Once
in this position Mr.. Peterson will be
assured of promotion leading to the Office
of great incohones He is now regarded
as the leading candidate. Great Inco-
honee Thomas G. Harrison is still re-
ceiving congratulations on the successful
year which ended June 30, 1903. The
net gains, in membership and finances
exceed any former year.
The discord which threatened at the
opening session on Monday has sdisap-
peared and allEof the chiefs have smoked
the pipe Of peace. This assures the
great chief that no effort will be spared
in the coming year to make its record sur
