Drum said that he decided to wear it up town thinking it- would be moro conspicuous than f he carried it tied up in a bundle. His sur7osition was correct for he had not gene far before the coat was seeps and identified. The Mexican who Drum said had left the coat at his place was brought in as :t witness. He said he had never seen the coat and moreover had not been at the residence of Drum. It was the opinion of the court that Dram had been guilty, at least of misrepre- sentation.
 A VISITING OFFICER-Mr. and Mrs. Frederick s. Hussey of Victoria, B. C.. have been in the city for a few days and expect to remain some liillt lpllStI. lntN dTe ntIe TOT the benefit of Mir. Hussey's health, though he is not a victim of lung trouble and would not be taken for any sort of an invalid In fact it is rest and recuper- ation he is after rather than anything else. MT. Hussey says he has heard q great deal about Arizona and has been trying to get down this way for many years. And he is glad he came for he likes the country and particularly the delightful winter climate. MT. Hussey is a peace officer by profession. being superintendent of the provincial po- lice of British Colombia, and therefore he finds the city marshaTs office natural place of interest and has d fellow feeling for the force. He says the provincial police force consists of from 100 to 120 men at different times, and the province is divided into dis tricts over each one of which is a chief constable. Jurisdiction is all over the province but usually the incorporated cities have their own municipal police force and the principal work of his force is the policing of unincorporated towns and country districts.
