A JURY TIED UP
No Verdict Has Been Reached in the
 Case of Cruz Fork.

The case Of Cruz York charged with robbery from the person of David Care. a miner was tried yesterday in district court and at a late hour last night the jury had been unable to find verdict.
 One day last July Care and the de- fenGant met in the Palace and Capltot saloons. They had some drinks to- gether and Care had been playing the wheel They left the Capitol and when they had got on the sidewalk they seemed to be embracing each other Suddenly Care seized York by the arm and demanded of him So. CT rather $4.75, which he said he had taken from his pocket while in this embrace. York was arrested. given a preliminary eN- animation and was held to the grand jury which body indicted him. At the preliminary examination York said that there was nobody on the street. In the meantime q witness was found, Andreas Rosa who said that he saw the men together and that York did not take anything from the pockets of Care. There were several other witnesses of the seizure of York by | Care. but they could not testify that
  l Their testimony was valuable to the prosecution only in that they corrobo- rated the story of Care as to the other ! incidents that happened on the street. l An attempt was made by the prose cution to impeach Rosa and prove that he was a perjurer and had been
 reached since the preliminary eXami- nation. One thing occurred in the
 course of the arguments worthy of mention in that it disclosed that Judge | Baker. the district attorney, is a bi-
 metalist of a peculiar and pronounced ] type. Judge Baker is one of the most l careful of speakers. always says what
 he means and never says anything else So that what he said on this ocasion cannot possibly be regarded as a slip of the tongue.
 | He was showing how Care got the money. of which he is alleged to have
 been robbed. Said he: "Gentlemen, he
 had just wor a bet at roulette and the dealer had paid him five silver dollars in gold pieces
 The case went to the jury late in the afternoon.
 There was one pitiful incident in the York case. Two of the brothers of the defendant are of bad reputation but Cruz York, until this time, had kept out of trouble. He was his mothers favorite son. The family had lately come from Aremia where things are done in d summary way and when she heard of her sons arrest she feared that she would never see him alive again. Within few days she died, the neiShbOrs believe of grief
 The trial of Frank Martin for burg lary also took place. Martin was ar rested last summer for breaking into the store of E. G. Caruthers at Gila Bend. It was discovered that there was a burglar in the store and several per sons began a search for him. While the search was going on in the rear ot the store, the burglar broke out or the window of a front door and es- capped. A short distance from the store the searchers found the coat, vest and shoes of a man and later they discovered Martin without any of | these articles lying between two piles or ties. Martins defense was that the clothing though it was his had been stolen from him while he slept.
 The jury returned a verdict of guilty
