WAITING ON THE OTHER SHORE
An Arizonian Who Has Something to
 Hope for in Heaven.

A man in this town started for heaven with a horse and buggy late Saturday night. Only for Night Officer Kaufman he would probably be there now. but he got ahead of his rig some way and that being still on this side of the divide, attracted attention The driver was not so far ahead of his con- Veyance that the bonds had been se- Nered and in getting the horse into more comfortable quarters the driver was necessarily dragged back to earth

THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Its Advantages Are for Girls as We'll
 as for Boys.

Sheriff Murphy of Tucson, who was in the city yesterday. in speaking of the industrial school at Benson. said that as near as he could figure up from his knowledge of children sent there, there are now about sixteen in all and the school has been opened but a few weeks. This rate of recruiting in- dicates that the objection made to the building of the school by some people, namely that there are not enough in- Corrigible children to warrant it, was entirely unfourded and the only fear is that the day will not be long in ar irving when the irstitution will be full, if parents and officers of the law CO., operate in putting all the youngsters there who have fitted themselves for entry.
 Another rather startling assertion of Sheriff Murphy was that in his opinion there is more material for the filling of the school, among a certain class of girls of Tucson, than there is among the boys. The remark was no: intended as any reflection on the character of Tucson girls but con Veyed the idea that boys are seldom sent to such a school except for some criminal offense or a we'll developed
 
 arc numerous girls who would not steal or in any other way break the peace but who are incorrigible in that they have not the proper home re- Straints many of them being orphans or with but one living parent. and he or she. as the case might be. either poverty stricken or poor disciplinar- ian. The result is that these girls are allowed 10 frequent the streets too much. form evil associations and when sufficiently mature will most likely be- come social nutcaSts even though they may not as yet have committed crimes either against the law or society. If such girls were placed in restraint be- fore the evil days come upon them they could be saved for the living of pure and wholesome lives. The deduction is not that the Tucson girls are more evllly inclined thaE the boys but that there are certain indiscretions that lead to a girls ruin that might not seem serious when committed by q boy. It is altogether likely that Sheriff Murphy's ideas respecting Tucson would hold equally true in all the larger towns of the territory. A plain reform school naturally has more boy than girl students as a general thing, but it is the understanding that the Benson school is intended to prevent, rather than to punish crime and to make rather than to patch up child character.

A MORAL COWARD
Ben Slaughter Couldn't Face Public
 OpiEiOn and Emma Cunningham.

Emma Cunningham, a Very p-ct y colorcd girl, went to the office of the sheriff last night to inquire what could be done in the case of Bud Slaughter. a fugitive, not from justice but from public opinion. She did not really care whether anything could be nc: h,r Nlslt was rather one, for the slfiS ac- ton of curiosity and for the relation Of a grievance at winch she laughed whi'e relating it to Deputy Sheriff RobaI ts, q most interested and deeply sympa- thetic listener who offered many sug- Eestions and reiterated that he was q native of Missouri. Miss Cunningham replied that she had first seen the light of day in that nobla' state.
 About the middle of last week Bud Slaughter was arrested on a charge of larceny. He and two other men were occupying a room in a colored lodging house, or more accurately a lodging house for colored people on East Mad ison street. One of the party, by the name of Clark, who had returned the evening before after a successful "ras- sle' with craps, with S7.Si cents in his rockets could find the next morning only s2.l7
 The finger of suspicion was pointed at Ben Slaughter and it kept pointing at him all the time during his appear ance before Justice Robertson to whom he had been brought for inquest at the instance of Clark
 Justice Robertson tried to keep the negroes in subjectior vi ct armis in the earlE sixties. He has never since evaded an opportunity to keep the de. scendents of Congo chiefs in suhjec- tion and he accordingly sentenced Ben Slaughter to jail for twenty days. Be cause the laws of the territory requi e it, he reluctantly named an alternative fine of sa0.

The dogs finally overturned the table and brone lot of dishes and the only lamp they had in the house. They couldn't keep house without a lamp so they hitched up and drove to town to secure another lighting plant of some sort. They took a bowl or two to warm up, when they first got to town. and then they took

Man Missing From Kenosha For
Two Years Is Located In a
Dallas, Tex, Hospital.
WARRANT AWAITS RECOVERY
Sheriff Timme Asks Texas Officials to
Arrest Him on Charge of Wife Adam
donment-- of a Long Chase.

The mystery which has surrounded
the strange disappearance of Herman
Reidenbach, who disappeared from
Kenosha on June %, 1902, has been
solved, as Sheriff Timme has discov-
cred that Reidenbach is now in hos
pita1 at Dallas, Texas. Dying from
typhoid fever, there is little reason to
believe that Reidenbach will ever be
brought back to Kenosha to answer
the charge of abandonment which has
been brought against him by his wife,
but the sheriff has forwarded to the
Texas officials warrants for the arrest
of Reidenbach, with instructions that
the man be placed under arrest as
soon as he is able to leave the hospi-
tai. Relatives of Reidenbach have
gone to Dallas, and they state that the
condition of the long missing man is
such that it is hardly possible for him
to recover.
No statements have been given out
in regard to the manner in which
Reidenbach has been able to e1ude
the officers for so long time, but the
sheriff states that Reidenbach has
been in Texas for many months. 1t
is claimed that he had been living
alone in the city of Dallas, and he has
not made any statement in regard to
his reasons for deserving his wife and
family.
Reidenbach left Kenosha on June
%, 1902. On the morning of the day
of his disappearance he stated to his
wife that he was going to Winthrop
Harbor to co1lecta small sum of money
which was due to him for labor there.
The relations between husband and
wife had always been of the most cor
dial nature, and for this reason the
disappearance of the man seemed to
be without any possible explanation.
Reidenbach never went to Winthrop
Harbor, but left the city and was
never seen or heard of until he was
found dying in the hospital at Dallas.
Since the disappearance of REDEEM
bach every effort has been made to
locate the man, and detectives have
been sent out to different places
where it was reported that he had
been seen. For a year the deserted
wife refused to believe that her hus-
band had abandoned her, but when
the days passed and no word came
from him Mrs. Reidenbach gave up
hope of his return, and recently she
began an action for divorce in the
Circuit court. The case is scheduled
to come up at the next term of the
court.
AT the time of the disappearance of
Reidenbach it was alleged that he left
in company with a young woman from
Kenosha, but if this is the fact the
woman has left him, as he was not
with her at Dallas. It is claimed that
Reidenbach had been working at the
carpenter trade in Dallas for some
time.
Mrs. Reidenbach has stated that she
was willing to appear against her hus-
band in court, and should he recover
from his illness every effort will be
made to have him returned to Keno
sha.
