Under the law ha will have ten days in which to execute it. It is not thought that he will have any trouble in furnishing the bond. He is already under a surety company bond for $3.CO0 and beside that his surety company bond for his previous term of office is still in force.
 There was a general expression of sympathy with the recorder yesterday.
 Men said that they had not lost their confidence in MT. M'F'all's hon- esty of purpose in retaining the money which has caused him all this trouble. They said that it was by no means cer- tain that the money did not belong to him but that he made d serious mis- take in the manner in which he went about establishing his right if he had any, to it.
 He was unfortunate in speculation which he believed he was carrying on with his own money. When it was lost and the demand was made upon him for the turning into the treasury Of the disputed fees, he found himself without the tine necessary to organize the legal fight for the money which he had expected woulI have to be made.

 II is suspected that he was connected with the Yaqui river bandits who have benn engaged in a carnival of murde' lately. The suspicion, kowev,r, is hased only upon the fact tat he re- turned to the United States just at this time, when Kosterlitzky and his genG- armcrie are going over the late hunts of tbe Yaqui river murderers wi5h a fine tooth comb. It is thought tha. nothing less than such diligence ol the part of the Mexican authorities could have induced Franco to c-ma back here.

It is feared that un less he is oveTtaken q report will soon come in of a killing at some Isolated station or in s-me prospector's csmp.
 Franco is a product of Phoenix and he has many relatives here. He has been wanted for ten years for the brutal murder of a Chilean by the name of Francisco Coronado. The murder took place one Sunday night in IT, vine addition. where Coronado lived alone in a little hut. He was found the next morning, his head beaten 10 a jelly with a hatchet. Before night sus- picion pointed strongly to Franco and it was thought that he woul1 be easily captured, but none of the cfficers of the law saw him after that. He was heard of at various times, but no de- tarmlned effort was made to follow him. l. is reported that he killed sew eral men after his flight from Phoeniy, and that he had committed two mur- ders in New Mexico.
