: lean portion OF the CITY, near the
government reservation, in quest
of evidence regarding the man,
Jesus Diaz, who was arrested Sat
urday night, in the quarterinaster' :
store house, in the act of rihing
property belonging to Lieut.. Clyde
/ B. Parker, of Co. L. The search
proved rather uninteresting, as on
| ly few minor articles of govern
ment or other property were recov-
! ed. A good deal of petty thieving
IS continually going on in various
parts Of the city, but the offenders
seem to have the knack of Guiding
arrest as we'll as successfully con-
cealing stolen property. A strange
part Of some of these cases IS the
kutter lack of possible use for arti-
cles taken. One instance reported
where one of these peculiar people
whose fingers have tendency to
! stick to articles useless to any but
the owners, was that of a couple of
enlarged pictures, which had been
hanging in the home of one of our
citizens, suddenly disappearing.
/ Suspicion was directed to female
helper about the place, and a search
of the jacal she called home, re-
suited in the pictures being found
intact. Many other cases of a like
nature have been heard of.
c. E. Hammond, wife and
daughter, returned last evening
from a several days visit to Ham
Ko, the irrigated truck farm of
Hammond and Kowalski, about
Is miles up the river. Mr.. Ham
mOnd found everything in good
shape on the ranch, and says the
pumping plant has been installed,
and only awaits proper connections
to begin putting water over their
land The pumping machinery
was DELAYED by the recent Washouts
on the railroad, and has caused
considerable delay in the work on
the farm. However, everything
is getting i'll shape now, and soon
water will be put where and when
j i is needed, and great things are
expected from the farm Turnips,
beets, lettuce, mustard, radishes
etc, are much in evidence, and
onions will be transplanted some
time next month.

his errand known, and was surprised to
, find that the ones he had spoken were
not at eli the ones he intended.
But the subject being before the house
now, he continued telling the story as
ne had thought it ont. Mr.. Grisgs lis
tened attentively and when Charley had
finished. he said very gently:
Really, l am greatly indebted to you
for your elf-sacrificing kindness in be-
ing willing to give up the young man
whom you have known and loved so
long. but the fact is. gentleman who
has just left me has promised TO bring
my son to- me.
The papers stated that l had no
clues TO work on. but that was mis-
take. and il may be that the gentleman
in question has not found the right
man. In that case I will be only too
glad to see the one whom you think to
be my son. Come again at ten o'clock

that Jennings would not marry until he
had made a name. Certain rare quail

university. He had captured our imagi-

During the college year, Jennings was
I'm little danger of marring the fine
simplicity of his scholarly life with the
complex emotions attendant upon the
experience Of loving. He worked cary
and late. He literally gave himself
tosthe university. He knew women only
as students, or as the composite wife
of the faculty. We realized that we
need fear only his vacations. Even then
the danger seemed very slight, for he
went on long and solitary walking
trips through the mountains, avoiding
the expensive Summer hotels for OBJ
vious reasons.

and met a kindly old gentleman, who
took him kindly by the hand and said
he was glad to see him.

is evolved into an umbrella which will
