A MOTIVE FOR SHOPLIFTING-
The case of a little girl arrested on
Saturday night for shOplifting was be-
fore Justice tombstone yesterday. The
child was said to be a very good little
girl and had never before committed
q serious offense. On Saturday night
While in the New York store q clerk
saw her pick up a sweater and conceal
it under her jacket. She was arrested
but on account of her youth and inno-
cent appearance she was allowed to go
on her own recognizance. She appeared
in court yesterday accompanied by her
mother. She is twelve years old and
very small for her age. She admitted
the lifting of the sweater but she said
that she wanted to give one to a little
boy and had no other way of getting
it. Her plea of guilty was accepted
and with the consent of the district
attorneys Office the judgment was sus-
pended until May 10. If she turns out
10 be a consistently good girl that date
will N
get all about il.

Harry Donkersley of Yuma and George
A Olney of Graham came yesterday
and the representatives from Santa
Cruz, Pima and COchise are on the
way All of them had come as far as
Maricopa last week but on account of
the flood in the ella they were COM
PEELED to return to their homes. Sew
eraI matters We're informally discussed
yesterday but action was taken on
none of them. One of them was the
establishing of a territorial poorfarm.
The supervisors agreed that such a
territorial institution would lessen the
cost of caring for the INDECENT of the
territory and it is possible that a bill
for the creation of one will be prepared
for introduction into the legislature
soon. 1t was also the belief of the su-
pervisors that that would be one insti-
tuition for the location of which the
rivalry among the different counties
would be subdued.
