Maybe that fetched the detective,
but anyway he came back out of the
box stalls and set down on my bunk.
l opened up a few, the crew went
back and the train started. Then the
detective, drinking up my suds most
friendly, said he was after the Pardee
woman that had killed her husband
in Denver. 1t seems she had made
for the railroad yards during that
afternoon, and it was suspected that
she had crawled into an empty
freight.

about midnight l wanted to go to bed,
and l commenced hollering at him.
He went on worse than ever, and

at the Lady.

Over to the County Grand Jury.
 At l o'clock this afternoon Justice Brown will decide whether or not T. B. Shide shall be bound over to the grand jury for felony embezzlement.
 Shide was examined yesterday after. noon on the charge of having em- bezzled s210 from Mrs. Oder Kaler. who runs boarding house at the Cop per Glance mines. Several witnesses were examined to show that he had been given the money to pay a bill and then appropriated it to his own use. Mrs. Kaler stated that she gave Shide the amount to come to Bisbee and pay a meat bill. Instead of pay ing the money as she expected he would, he used 1t for other purposes. She learned of his duplicity afterward by having the bill in full presented to her.
 Michael Davis, brother of Mrs. Kaler, swore to evidence of a corro- boratory nature. He was aware that the money had been given Shide. and that instead of paying the bill he gambled the money of. Mrs. Davis testified to about the same facts.
 Shide, who Is feeling poorly, made a weak defense About all he could .jay was that the debt at the meat shop was secured by him, and that he was responsible for it, and not Mrs. Kaler Little Of importance was to be gleaned from his testimony. Frank E. Coles, of the Copper Queen store accounting department, was placed on the stand by the defendant. All he had to say was that bills con tracted by Mrs. Kaler were still un- paid at the store.
 Shide was captured a few days ago at some hot springs rot far from Phoenix. One Of the Phoenix papers copied an article from The Review, and this put the officers on to the fact that Shide was wanted. Telegrams were sent to this city asking if he was wanted.
 The Phoenix officers were told to arrest Shide and hold him until he was sent after. Constable Casad went to Phoenix after the man, and brought him to the city Sunday morning. Shide was for some time superinten- dent of the Copper Glance mine, and is said to have bilked several of the miners employed there.
