FLORES RELEASED.
No Evidence Upon Which to Hold
 Suspected Mexican Official.

Manuel Flores, the custom house official of Nogales, Sonora, who was arrested last week on suspicion of being implicated in the robbery of Southern Pacific freight cars, was released from custody Satur- day evening. There was not sutfi- clent evidence adduced in the in vestigations made to warrant hold- ing him for trial for the crime of which he was suspected
 Juan Camacho, who was arrested in the City of Mexico, will proba- bly, be brought either to Nogales or Guaymas for trial. Against Ca- macho the railroad detectives be- lieve they have strong evidence.
 Sixty-six of the Panama hats stolen from the freight car last June have been recovered. They were found by the detectives in possession Of a man named Espinosa at Guaymas. He told of having lent money on the hats to a man named Juan Camacho and as name and description tallied with the man who had charge Of the guards who handle freight at Nogales, Sonora, and who was at the time in the City of Mexico on leave Of absence, he was arrested. As fur ther evidence against Camacho, the officers have traced and recoy- cred from different persons in No- gales, Sonora, six of the stolen hats, which the people having them claimed were sold them hy a woman, who is a friend Of Cama- cho.
 MT. Flores was arrested because of his known friendship for Cana cho, but there has been nothing to show that he was at all aware of the latter's alleged crookedness.

'LOGGERS
COMPLAIN.
Deep Snow Is Serious Men
ace to Successful Log
cling Operations.
EXPENSE MUCH HEAVIER THAN
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
SWamps Are Not Frozen and
Road Making is Impossibility
at Present Time.

There is every reason to be.
lieve at the present time that the
logging season of 1856 will be
a hard one on the lumf ermen
who are now operating camps in
the north country, and many
complaints have been heard of
late from the loggers in this vi
entity. The beginning of the
season has been anything but
favorable. During the month of
October the ground froze TO a
depth of several inches and pros
poets were then good for an ex-
cellent season. In November,
however, the Indian summer took
much of the frost out of the
ground and the rain storm which
prevailed in this section recently
and ended with a blizzard rend-
cred the ground soft and mushy.
The swamps are all frost free
and it is difficult for men to
travel through them. This con-
diJion in the swamps at the pres
ent time renders it almost i'm
possible to make roads, as IN or
der to do this horses must be
used and it is now useless to at.
tempt to work horses in the
swamps.
AS a result of this, there are
many loggers on the anxious
seat. But a short time now in
tervenes before the hauling sea
son must commence, and unless
the mum Der Of days counted up
on by lum bermen as the hauling
season are secured there will be
many logs left in the woods next
spring.
The extra expense of making
roads under conditions such as
.xist at the present time is also a
matter which gives the lum Der.
men, especially The contractors,
much worry. Before the actual
work of making road after it
has been cleared, i. e., ''rutting'
it and icing it, can commence, all
snow upon the ground occupied
by the road must be thoroughly
packed. This is done by the
EN- ployees of the camp, and in
sume cases it is necessary tc
keep d large crew Of men at work
for several days, which means an
expenditure of hundreds, or
thousands, of dollars.
The ice in the lakes is poor, al
so, and at camps where it is nee
essary to haul logs across lakes
this condition is likely to cause
considerable trouble unless the
weather turns extremely cold.

Glass Manufacturers Take Radical Ac

ton at Meeting.
Chicago, Dec. 4-Following a walk.
out Of TOO glasswOrkers who refused
to accept terms offered by their EN-
ployers the United Glass Manufac.
turers' association met in Chicago and
decided to maintain "open shops
hereafter. twenty-five factories are
affected.
The trouble in the glass factories
started over an attempt of the EN-,

cent in retaliation for wage cut
made in some departments by the EN-

to accede to the demands of the men
brought on a strike.
