Friend in Need
Gets BiIked Indeed

Through a disposition to help a
friend out Of a bad hole, Max Levy,
Of this city. who is in charge OF the
Levy branch office In Albuquerque,
has had his faith in human nature
shaken and he has also been placed
in danger Of losing $3.50 in cash.
Bitterman, who Ia in Albuquerque
for his health and occupies elegant
rooms at the Commercial club. was
formerly a Denver dealer in diamonds.
He was arrested in Albuquerque Wed.
nesday on the charge Of embezzling
diamonds to the amount Of $50. A
valuable diamond ring was taken by
the officers.
Stockbroker Max Levy, who also
lives in the Commercial club. was
among those who believed that Bit
terman was being u~njustly treated,
and he agreed that II Bitterman would

give him his diamond ring as secur.
i,y that he, Levy. would advance him
the $3.50, with which to meet the
somewhat pressing claims OF the Den
yer jewelers.. This Bitterman agreed
to. Mr.. Levy advanced the money and
was assured that In the morning when
the ring was returned to him, he
would turn It over to Levy.
But in the morning Bitterman failed
to appear with the ring and Mr.. Levy
began to look the matter up. He
found from The officers that the ring
had been returned to Bitterman and
going to Bitterman he requested that
ne turn W the security. Bitterman's
attachment for the ring prevented his
complying with the request. At this
stage OF the affair. Mr.. Levy became
annoyed. later in the day he became
even annoyed, and when night
came and his request was not COM
piled with, he swore out q complaint
before Justice Of the Peace George
Craig. for Bitterman's arrest on the
charge of receiving money under false
%pretenses.
Bitterman went to Jail rather than
give up the ring and his other effects.
However. when the diamond was
taken from him by force he went
back to his rooms. It Is believed that
he will consent to leaving the ring
with Mr.. Levy as security. rather
than stand trial on the charge pre-.
ferred.

twenty-five years ago today, on April

HOW JOE JEFFERSON PACKED
 THE JURY.

Each spring. for a number of years. it was the custom of the late Joe Jef- fersOn to leave Palm Beach. where he had his winter home, for theatrical tour of siN weeks. He was once asked by the writer if, after nearly seventy years OH the stage, he did not find this professional work burdensome. and he answered quickly that his spring tour was the easiest way that he knew of to make about thirty thousand dollars. 1Ir. Jefferson was always fond of tell ing stories. and often told the follow ing about himself:
 He had been invited to be present at the meeting of d certain secret Orde- noted for it's hospitality. But he was hardly seated before the chair roared out

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-I noted in this mornings Re publican the statement that counsel in the case of Woodsmansee versus Meth win, have been notified by Judge Mel sen that the case would not be heard as it was similar to the case of Bruce versus Methvin in which judgment had been rendered for defendant. | wish to say that l have not received such notice from Judge Nielsen and Go not believe that he will issue any such notice as the defendant has acquired rights in the case by filing counter claim for the sum of sixteen dollars. which even the judge can not take away. We stand virtually in the posi- sion of plaintiff and intend to pursue the matter to the bitter end. thereby demonstrating whether or not there is any justice to be had in the court of common pleas of Tempe precinct The conspiracy to peTsecute young Meth win upon the eve of his leaving the country will be fully uncovered.

THE cANTALoUPE CROP.
Shipping in Car Load Lots Will Begin
 This Week. {


 The cantaIoupe crop in this vicinity bids fair to be a good one this season and just now is beginning to mature. For some days past the crop at Ky rene has been ripening and Mir. Hansen has been supplying the local market but in the next few days shipping in car load lots will commence. Two representatives of the H. Woods com mission firm of Chicago are now here to attend to the shipping They are M. M- COX and w. B. Ahern. MT Ahern was here for the same purpose last year. He will have charge of the kyrene shipments while MT. Cox will be stationed at Mesa. It is estimated that the total shipment to the Woods firm from these two places will be in the neiShbOrhOod of seventy cars. 4O from Kyrene and thirty from Mesa. MT. Hansen has about two hundred acres in at the former place and the yield is considered very good He is having some difficulty in securing enough men to handle the crop and was in Phoenix for the purpose of em- ploying more but as yet has succeeded in finding all he will need. From the Hansen ranch the shipping will com menCe about the middle Of this week while at Mesa it will be about the mid tOns in this respect will commence. There are now about fifteen refrigera- atOrs cars on the M & P track here ready to be loaded as soon as the picking commences.

NUTMEG TREE AND FRUIT.

"A nutmeg tree" said the New Hav- en gardener. Tt looks looks like a laurel, doesn't it? Such trees are rare in these parts.
 The nutmeg tree begins to bear at the age of ten years. It keeps on bearing until it is 90. The fruit resem- bles an apricot, and when the fruit is ripe it bursts open, showing at it's heart the black nutmeg enclosed in a network of scarlet.
 "The nutmeg. after plucking. must be dried. It is dried over a slow fire. and the process is tedious; it often oc- cupies two months.
 Before shipping, the nutmegs are al ways steeped in sea water and lime
