work as he might in remuneration for his board and lodgings and lately help ling somewhat around their drug store on Washington street. For some time he has been planning trip to the southern part of the territory in search of a better field of activity His plans were openly discussed and lit was understood generally that Brick son, with whom he had become ac- quainted at Glendale, was going to ac- company him.
 They announced that they were go- ing Wednesday night and early in the evening Davidson called on Mrs. Lund and bade her goodbye, thanking her for her kindness to him. It now trans pires that they went to the depot and tried the brake rod method of getting out of town. They were seen by the |trainmen and before the train had fairly left the Phoenix yards it was stopped and the men were ditched. When it started again they succeeded in boarding it and before the train reached Tempe they were again rounded up by the conductor and the usual fare to Tempe was collected. At Tempe they were prevented from again boarding the train, but a freight followed the passenger to Maricopa, and it is supposed that they managed to ride it to that place.
 Yesterday morning when Mrs. Lund arose she said she had a peculiar feel ing, sort of ''hunch" as a gambler would say, and on making a search for valuables she discovered they were gone. As Davidson had free access to the house it did not take Mrs. Lund long to come to a conclusion in the matter and the circumstance was at once reported to the sheriff. The tele- graph wires and the Tucson officials diG the rest to date, but there is a we'll founded suspicion that there will be more doing later on. Erickson is con nected with the crime so far only by his association with Davidson.
 The articles taken, while in them selves valuable were more valuable to Mrs. Lund by association than any thing else. They are too numerous for a complete list to be given at this time but among them were the following:
 long chain and gold watch that was formerly worn by Mrs. Lunds father had given to her, together with three-link Odd Fellows pin and a charm, made of a five dollar gold piece of the mintage of 1S44, the whole valued at $50; a set of garnets given Mrs. Lund by her father nearly forty years ago and valued at $60; several rings, including her wedding ring; a small purse made in Ireland and given Mrs. Lund by a friend, together with its contents which included a $2.50 gold piece, a fifty-cent octagonal gold piece, four or five one-dollar gold pieces, two pieces of Mexican paper money, two Columbian half dollars, two silver twenty-cent pieces and numerous other coin curios, some be- ing Of early American issues and some from England, Mexico, Germany and China.
 Altogether the coins formed a col lection worth much more than their face value, aside from the jewelry taken that money could not have bought from the owner.
 There might be a possibility that the house was robbed after Davidson left, were il not for other crooked things that cane to light yesterday. He had extensive repairs made to bicycle by Charles Gittner, which he said would be. settled for by MT. Lund who, it now transpires, knew nothing about it. When pressed for a settlement he gave Gittner an order on MT. Lund for the .amount he owed Gittner. MT. Lund in the meantime had settled up with Day. idson and had paid him a sum of money in full for services performed .n addition to the credits for his lodg- ing. It would appear, therefore, that if Davidson did not take the goods it will be up to him to do some strong proving and some hard swearing
