FOOD FOR THE TRIAL JURY
Six More Indictments Were Returned
q Yesterday.

The territorial grand jury yesterday
brought in two reports containing in
dictments against six persons. The
first was s. Rodriguez on a charge of
burglary. The day before a similar
charge against him had been dismissed
and his case was referred to the next
grand jury. The action taken against
him was on another count for he had
broken into two houses on the same
day. The other indicted victims were:
Rafael Valenzuela for assault with
deadly weapon. He had tried to cut
TO death woman with whom he had
been living at Tempe.
Francisco Mendibles, grand larceny;
he stole a horse from w. E Deity and
was caught with it at Tempe. Mendi-
bles looks like pure blooded Castilian
and is an elderly man Of soldierly bear
ing, but all that may not have great
weight with the trial jury.
w. ]. Tobin, assault with intent to
kill; Tobin, who is said to be a son Of
wealthy parents somewhere in the east
found himself a hobo at ella Bend. He
was hungry and without means to buy
a meal. He went to a Chinese restau
rant and. when he had finished his
supper, he tried to escape without the
notice of the proprietor. He was
overtaken by several Cinnamon and
before they could overpower him he
had cut two of them until their re-
covery was doubtful.

Of the court consisted in the appoint
ment of J.D. Macintosh, Indian inter
prefer and Sam Chung. Chinese in
terpreter.
In the course of the arraignment of
the indicted prisoners a case of what
may be called mistaken identity oc-
CURED. Six of them were to be taken
to the court room and Deputy Sheriff
Jeff Duncan needed help. There was
in the office of the sheriff at the time
wealthy young Philadelphia, a
friend of the deputy sheriff's and he
was asked to assist in taking the
prisoners upstairs The Philadelphia,
entering the court room, sat down be-
side the prisoners, occupying a seat
next to the door. The clerk of the
court surveyed the row of evil looking
persons before him and reckoning to
the deputy sheriff he said. You've
made a miscount." "How's that?'
asked the deputy.
You've got seven men," replied the
clerk, " and I've got only six indict-
ments."
A checking up took place and it
was found that the Philadelphia had
been included in the clerks count. The
Philadelphia is a young man of fine
personality, which shows that no man
looks at his best in the prisoners row.
Suitable apologies were made by the
clerk and the incident was closed.
