and that Sanchez and the witness are
still prisoners. Further, it is known
that Under-Sheriff Neagle and another
county peace officers went yesterday to
Jerome presumably to assist the
case in question.
Many past acts of the suspected par
ties are being recalled to prove the
plausibility Of the alleged crime, and
it is given out that the entire career
Of the Mexicans, which is anything
but good, win mitigate against them
when the case comes to trial. 1t was
reported here today that the Miren-
das had told all they knew of the kill
ing of Smith, and had been able to
convince the county officers of their
innocence, but this is only surmise.
The only direct statement of the
matter to be had yesterday was that
there would probably be another arrest
within short time. There will, for
a few days, be three officers at work
on the case in the Jerome district, and
despite that no news is given out for
publication it is not improbable that
new and startling developments may
follow at an early day.

Fine Sport Is Expected

Tomorrow means the open season
for trout, and while this section of the
territory has but few points where
the fnny beauties are to be had, near

ing preparations to whip some stream
or lake. For the past two weeks the
enthusiastic fy-casters of Jerome have
been making ready for trip 80 Oak

large number there.
Several Prescott sports have signif-
ed their intention of joining the .Ie-
rome parties, and some have already

During past seasons Allison as Com
missioner, and many personal friends
and lovers of fishing who reside in
Jerome, have ACCOMPLISHED great
deal IN stocking streams and lakes ia
the county, and Oak creek in partie-
;llar is this year expected to furnish
fine sport. From tire first year trout
were planted there has been better
fs':iLg. and last season the experts
with the rod had as good sport as they
could find in many of the more famous
districts.
To the fishermen of Jerome especial
ly is to be credited the care and ex-
pense of stocking streams and caring
for the trout in this section.
Each year all the lovers of this sport
have paid in a given sum to meet the
expense of securing government
spawn, and of planting it at the points
best suited for the growth of the finny
tribe. Judging by the success of the
past years this season should be fine
one for fishing, and under existing legal
regulations, which will be carefully en-
forced, there is no question but that
great sport will prevail.

Nirenda and Wife Are
Released From
Custody
New Developments Lead
Officers to Renew
Efforts

There are new developments in the
alleged murder of George Smith at
Jerome, which yesterday led to the re-
lease of the suspected Mexican Mi
renda and his wife who were allowed
to depart from the county Jail, and it
is supposed that they at once returned
to their home near the Iron King mine.
The extreme reticence of the off
eials having the case in hand makes it
out of the question to get at the exact
facts in the matter, but that a new
move is being made to secure further
evidence is admittedly a fact.
Whether it has ben represented to
Mirenda and his wife that there is
no evidence against them for the pur-
pose of further watching their ae-
tions or whether some new facts have
been learned to lay the guilt upon
their employee Sanchez is mere eonjee-
ture. 1t is fact, however, that the
man and woman have been released,

one Sanches, were arrested yesterday
in connection with the death of Geo.
Smith, who was found dead about two
weeks ago. They will be taken over
to Prescott this afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff W. S. Owen.
Ever since the body of Geo. Smith
was found by the side of the trail
leading to the Iron King mine, the of
ficers have been convinced that he was
foully dealt with, Notwithstanding the
verdict of the coroner's jury that he
had come to his death by exposure and

THE PORTLAND FAIR.
Special Days Arranged for Arizona

The Lewis and Clark exposition
management has notified Governor
Kibbcy that a schedule has been ar
ranged for devoting a week for spe-
cial days for Arizona cities at the
Portland fair the coming summer.
The dates for these special days and
the cities named are given herewith:
August 2S, Phoenix. Mesa, Tempe,
and Yuma; August %, Prescott, Je-
rome, Flagstaff, and Winslow; Au-
gust 80, Bisbee. Benson, Douglas, No
gales. and Tombstone; August 81,
Globe, Pima, SolomOnville. Thatcher.
and Bowie; September l, Morenei
and Clifton; September 2, Tucson.
The management of the exposition
suggests: "The exercises for the day
should be brief and simple. We pro-
pose with your cooperation to have
the delegates from Arizona meet at
one of the state buildings (Which
courtesy will he accorded) shortly be-
fore noon. A member of your COM
mission could act as chairman for the
day, and one of the commission in
whose building your delegates meet
would extend greetings on behalf of
the exposition management. Then the
mayors or other representatives could
respond. and such special features as
they might have arranged could fol-
low. The exposition management
would provide the administration band
for the occasion"

socially. About one hundred couples
attended, who enjoyed themselves
hugely. A band of six pieces furnish
ed the music. They cleared about
fifty dollars for the fireman. expense
fund.
The officers claim to have collected
some very strong evidence against
these people. and expect to bring the
crime home to their door. The strong
est evidence against them is their own
confession to certain facts. which
would seem to R0ve they have a
guilty knowledge of the crime. The
ring which Smith was known to have
worn when last seen by his friends.
was sold a few days ago by one of
the Mexicans now under arrest. Sew
eral other warrants have been issued
in connection with this ease. but have
not yet been served. and the officers
are trying to keep the matter quiet I'M
til they have them all safely behind
the bars. 1t is also claimed by the
officers working on the case that this
same gang IF Mexicans are respon-
sible for the death of the stranger
whose skeleton was found hanging
on tree about a year ago near the
same place where Smith was found
dead. These Mexieans live about six
miles from Jrome. near the Copper
Chief mine, and make their living by
packing wood to the different mining
camps on burros.

happily at the warm welcome accord

generals hair had turned quite white:
In the reception room general
ROSdanov1tch welcomed General
Stoessel. He referred to the internal
troubles, saying that when General
Stoessel left Russia calm prevailed,
While now an internal enemy was en-
deavoring to undermine the prestige
of the state.
Replying General Stoessel said he
had heard while at Constantinople of
he had travelled in southern Russia,
had spoken to the people and had
noticed their tranquility of. mind and
especially their loyalty to the en-
peror- He was confident that the
people would remain loyal and that
Russia would issue victorious from

rounded the railroad station while the
route to Prince Viamzlxy's residence
was patrolled by numerous detach-
ments of Cossacl1s and life guards. ap-
parently in expectation of a hostile
demonstration.
Altogether the generals welcome
was by no means in the nature of a
popular demonstration and lacked
genuine enthusiasm. Two months
ago all Russia was singing the
praises of the defender of Port Ar
thur. vet when he came home com
paratively few people assembled to
cheer him.

SILENT ON GAS FRANCHISES.
No One Seems Anxious to Put Up Big
Guarantee Fund.

A number of committee meetings of
the council will be held this week.
The streets and walks committee will
hold q meeting Friday evening. Some
small items of business will come be-
fore it for transaction. The gas fran
chises will not be acted upon unless a
request is made for action. Thus far
nobody has appeared to evince anxiety
to secure a franchise. Those who did
appear and present drafts of what
they desired have not pushed their
claims, and the whole matter has
been allowed to rest. One of the
members of the council stated yester-
day that it looked as if the talk of
raising the guarantee fund to $4,000
or $4,000 had effectually silenced the
would-be promoters.
The claims and accounts committee
will hold a meeting Friday afternoon.
The gas and electric light commit
tee will hold a meeting some time this
week, the exact time not being as yet
decided upon. The committee is ex-
aiming a new arc light for which
manufa cturers. The new arc is one
of the enclosed type and needs the
attention of a. caretaker only once
every two weeks, as against that of
the present type of arc, which requires
attention every two days. Whether
the new light gives as much as the
old type is one of the questions which
the city council will have to decide.
Some of the members of the commit
tee went down to the electric light
plant last night and watched the ac-
ton of one of the new arc lights which
was placed onto a circuit.
