WEBER is HELD.
For Murder of Parents, Sister and
Brother at Auburn, Cal.

Auburn CAL: Adolph Weber has
been placed under arrest, charged
with the murder of his parents. sister
and young brother last Thursday
night, and with having set the family
residence on fire afterward to con
ceal the crime. Weber took his ar
rest cooIly. The arrest took place
Immediately after he had left the wit
ness stand and after he had reluctant
ly answered the questions asked by
Coroner Shepard, the district attor-
ney, and several of the jurymen.
The latest theory in the Weber
murder case is that the murderer shot
the father first, then as the sister APP
peared in the hall he shot her and
then the mother, seeing what had
been done, she screamed and started
from him. when he shot her She con
tinued on across the room and, raising
her left hand, took down the telephone
receiver to call for help, at I which
time she received the second shot,
which entered the body just under the
left arm. The child being the only
one left, the murderer struck him on
the head and felled him The opera
tor at the central telephone office says
that the line to the Weber residence
showed busy at about half hour
before the fire was discovered.
Adolphus Weber. in jail, had moth
ing to say beyond that he had a good
nights rest. No effort has been MADE
as yet to get the young man out on a
writ by his attorneys.
Weber's description is said to tally
with that Of the robber who recently
robbed the bank here.

returned with an armful of cat fish of varying sizes and laid them down at the edge of the porch. Mir. Haggard then told his guests to proceed with their fishing.
 Before they left they were given an explanation of the srange thing they had witnessed. It turned out that MT. Haggard has a system of tanks in which water is stored for irrigation purposes. These tanks are stocked with fish. The water is transferred through ditches from one tank to an- other or else over the fields. There are so many of the fish that whenever the water Is set running a large mum Der of the fish go out with the stream and are left stranded in the ditches. At the time MT. Haggard invited the fishermen to his house he knew that the water was running low in the ditches and that the fish would be there.

A FLORENCE WEDDING
The Sale of Mining Property - Social
 and Other Events.

Florence, Ariz., May Il Special Ger.
 respondence of The Republican.)- IA very interesting event took place las
 evening when Miss Tillie Miller, one of the popular young Florence belles, was i united in marriage to James Horton, oi 1 Congress. The wedding was consum- mated at the residence of the Rev. H Heitz, the couple being attended by i Miss Sophie Harris as bridesmaid and
 Ed. O. Devine as groomsman. A few relatives and close friends witnessed the ceremony, after which the party returned to the home of Judge Harris where most convivial time was spent until midnight. The happy couple was then escorted to the Florence hotel and ushered into the bridal suite, afte- a. most rousing reception from a num- Der of the brides friends, who had met there for the final serdoff. We wish all good things for MT. and Mrs. Horton in their new state of life
 Richard Trevethan, of Superior, has been in town for couple of days wish ing his friends goodbye, previous to his departure for the county of Cornwall, England. Mir. Trevethan is a very old citizen of Pinal county and has not been back to the old country for thirty five years and says it is about time he paid his mother visit. He is certainly entitled to such a pleasure after his long absence, and the meeting between the two would certainly be worth go- ing miles to see. 'Dicky,' as he is best known in this section, is brimming to the full with good spirits in antici- patton of the good time to come, and with the pleasant time he has had amongst his Florence friends.
 TroXel Bros. have sold their mining property at Mineral Hill to a syndi- cate named the Oklahoma Mining and Smelling company. The principal stockholders are H. T. Beard and MT.

 On Friday last the Florence Literary club held its final meeting for the sea- son of 1903-19O4 at the residence of c. D. Reppy, when the members present ed scenes from Hamlet, the Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and Othello. The parts were rendered excee dingly well and the members de- serve much credit for the pains taken in the study of the various characters. After the serious business was complet- ed banquet took place and the mem bers again showed their all round abil- ity by seeing that nothing was omitted which could tend to make that part of the programme a success. The grounds and house were beautifully decorated for the occasion, Chinese lanterns Ee- ing used to give the grounds a bright appearance. Mrs. Borques gave selec- tions on the piano and Miss Michea and Mrs. Borques also rendered some very pleasing duets.

AnPHIBIOUS FISH
How Some Phoenix Piscatorial Ex-
 perts Were Surprised.

This story has an unpromising be- ginning, but there is a satisfactory and veracious explanation near the end. It relates to cat fish which, getting tired of the water, are supposed to come out and feed on the succulent alfalfa and grain growing in a nearby field at regular stated times. during the day.
 The other day a gentleman by the name of Galpin, we'll known through out Phoenix, and some friends were fishing will i'll success below the city, in the vicinity of the ranch of N. w. Haggard. They were broiling in the sun, but there was no prospect of broiling any fish when MT. Haggard came along. He told them that they seemed not to know the habits Sof the fish in that part of the river. He said that that was their feeding time and they were scattered out somewhere in the alfalfa and grain fields. He in- vited the fishermen to come to the house and sit on the porch in the shade where fishing would be more pleasant. as we'll as more profitable, than on the unsheltered river bank. He said he would send one of the boys out to drive some of the fish up to the edge of the porch where they could be cas- fly caught.
 The fisherman went along with MT. sfaggard to the house, but not with the expectation of fishing; merely be- cause he had asked them to go. Arriv- ing at the house he told a boy to go out iTi the field and round up a few of the fish for the amusement of the visi- tors. The visitors looked at each oth- CT and smiled and the boy went out into the wilderness Of alfalfa. He soon
