DOUGLAS DELIVERY
 OF THREE JAIL BIRDS
The Instigator a Chronic and F.e-
 quent Coal Oil Thief

There was a jail delivery on Friday night and all the prisoners in the Douglas jail got away who wished for an outing. says the Bisbee Review. The delivery occurred before midnight and was effected with the aid of part les from the outside.
 The one-eyed Mexican, better known to the officers as Goodbye" and top well known to the Lucas grocery com pany as the coal oil thief was the prisoner for whom all this trouble was taken by the delivcrcrs
 The principal object of "Goodeye's" life has been to get in jail for petty larceny. He seemed to look upon the expiration of a jail sentence as a holi- day to be celebrated by stealing an other can of coal oil from the Lucas grocery company, and upon each re- turn to jail as homecoming.
 But he has been rather off his feed of late, say his one-time fellow pris- oners. and has been kicking at the city bill of fare. putting it up that it didn't taste right any more. For sew eral days he had been predicting his escape. and said he was going across the line.
 About II o'clock last evening, says wounded Mexican prisoner. there came a rapping on the northwest cor ner of the Jail and Goodbye" arose and tearing off the screen and the door from tho window, he received, through the bars, a grubbing hoe. As he took in the hoe the Mexican said he would bust the head of any pris- oner who said a word" The parties outside had all the woodworking tools of the city at hand, and soon succeed ed in removing a stone from the bar next to the corner, which left a hole big enough for a man to crawl out. "Goodeye" went through and was fol- lowed by the negro Williams, who was recently incarcerated for misrep- resentation. Then came out into the fresh air the white man, Arthur Du- gan who stole E. F. Fishers over coat a few days ago.
 The republics of Mexico and the United States and Kingdom of Sene- gambia being represented on the out side, the jail delivery was deemed to have gone far enough. One Mexican prisoner, shot by Officer Splawn the other night, was unable to go. An other white mans term was about to expire, and Duffy. the cook who biIlSed Fred Haas out of a dinner last night was too drunk to wake up. He said this morning that he would have gone out and got a drink if he had known there was a hole big enough to squeeze through.

 Then you must be a passel of idiots. Do you doubt that the plaintiff was riding along Blue Hill road on the day sworn to?"

 Then the question comes up as to who is to have the hoss and guns? We can agree on his guilt, but it's the other thing we are jawin' about"
 Well, I kin settle that point for ye purity mighty quick. His hoss is in my stable, and will stay thar, and his guns put away. Now. you hump yourselves and bring ina verdict of guilty"

BACK TAX SUITS

The Importance 10 Taxpayers of
 Heading Them Off.

Under the new law suits for back taxes must be begun in district court in sixty days after they have gone de- linquent. That will be about March 1 and County Treasurer Hayden amour ces that however painful to him he will be forced to comply with the law. An other reason why there can be no de- lay beyond March 1 is that it is inn portant that all the suits be ready for trial at the opening of the April term. They will be disposed of all at once and not allowed to disfigure the dock ct throughout the year.
 No doubt a great many of the taS payers confound the proceedings with the sale of property for delinquent taxes and figure that all the suits will not be begun at once and that a littlt later they can pay the penalty which

 It was Arizona day and the proceed . ings were of especial significance and value. No more interesting program has been given during the club sea son. The attendance. of both mem bers and guests, was large. As an opening number, two piano solos, Navajo War Dance" and

MRS. BUCKLEY FREE
 THt SATISFIED LAW
A Strong Probability That Its Viola
 tiOn Could not be Proved.

At the primary hearing of Mrs. Hat. tie Buckley charged with child aban- donment yesterday the defendant was dismissed. Tho case was gone into quite fully by District Attorney Bull ard as though he intended it to reach the grand jury though there was an understanding all the time by MT. Bullard, Justice Burnett and the Crit tenton Home authorities that this would be tce end of the matter.
 The defendant sat, sad and with a hunted look beside her mother listen ing intently to the telling of the story which she had already told herself The fact of the finding of the babe l.on the porch of the Gilbert house was brought out again and an effort was begun to show the relations which had existed between the defendant and i John E. Rodman but that was soon abandoned. the witnesses upon whom the territory had relied .disclaiming all | knowledge Of Rodman
 | In moving for the dismissal of the case the assistant district attorney said he believed that the woman had already been sufficiently punished by the exposure Of her offense. He was not sure that her case came under the statute at all. There had been no evil dence that she intended wholly to abandon the child. on the contrary the note which was found pinned to tho cap of the babe showed that the moth- CT desired 1t to have a good home and that she intended to assist in it's sup port.
 At any rate the proceedings already had would carry out the purpose of the law; it had shown that this kind of a crime could not be committed in this community without detection. The crime of the woman after all he said was not so heinous as the murder of unborn babes and he added that such crimes, if reported would be prescott ed by his office to the fullest extent
 When he spoke of the mOtherly feel ing conveyed in the note. signed Bob,
 Mrs. Buckley broke down for the first time.
 As soon as this case had been dis posed of Mr. Bullard moved also for the dismissal of the case against Rod man. He would not say that ths charges made against him were true But if they were there was no terri torial law which would adequately deal with his crime. The matter had been held over for twenty-four hours
 to allow complaint to be made to thS federal authorities but none had beer made and the assistant district attor- ney said he had been informed that none would be made.

PROMOTER PHASE
 UNDER ARREST
Charged With Embezzlement of $500,
 900 From H. J. Beemer.

The proceedings in the complicated case Of H. J. Becmer and O. A. Pease have turned from civil to criminal Pease was brought to the city yester day in the custody of Sheriff Gus L1v- ingston of Yuma county who is taking him to Yuma on a charge ot embezzle- ment on the complaint of Beemer. The arrest was made at Quartzsite. The sheriff and his prisoner were about town all day and left last night for Yuma.
 Only those who were told of the ar rest would have surmised that the two men stood in the relation to each other of officer and prisoner.
 This arrest grew out of the affair Of the Amalgamated Gold company form cd for working a large area of placer claims in the vicinity of Quartzsite. The company was formed by Pease, who succeeded in interesting Beemez a New York millionaire to the extent Of about S30OOOO which amount by the way, is charged in the warrant for embezzlement.
 Ecemer put up the money and pro- missed to buy a large amount of ma chinery. He did actually purchase tho machinery which was shipped to the property Other money was to be put ! | claimed that he found the property to i be. worthless and prepared to move the machinery off of it to anOther property which he purchased in the same neighborhood. Pease secured an 1 injunction against the removal of the machinery and also had a receiver ap- pointed for the Amalgamated Gold company.
 Beemer later had the machinery moved in spite of the order of the court and contempt proceedings at Tucson followed. That is there were to be contempt proceedings there but the | attorneys for Beemer attacked the re- ceivership. It was shown that the re- ceiver a brother of Pease, was using his office for his brother. Nothing more was said about the contempt matter but it was determined to re- move Receiver Pease. That was done and Herbert Brown of Yuma was ap- pointed.
 The litigation took other forms and all the time Peasc was out of the ter ritory. He came here lately.
