 The fact that Clayton was with Me- Kenzie at an aiav hour on Christmas
 morning is tho most serious bit of ev- idence a&ainst him. and the knowledge of that fact is what led to his arrest. heen searching for him for oyer
 twenty four hours, but 1t is not be-
 lieved that he has been at his home since the crime was committed ~.
 Kenzie and two negroes. Clayton. and
 Willie Williams. had left George Her mann's saloon at Fishers Alley and Da- wis avenue something after midnight, ped at a nearby barber shop. where
 they talked for q fow moments, and Mckenzie. fin q playful mood, nfed two
 shots from his revolver Into the floor
 of the barber shop.
 The three then went to a house on Congress street near Broad. only about
 e hlock from the scene of the murder.
 There the three mixed and drank some
 erE noR. taking thAm some littis
 when the three left this place, and
 Williams. according tO the abatement of both himself ana Clayton. started down towns
 The other two. williams says, turned
 south towards State street, where tha crime was committed. That was tho last that was ever seen of Mckenzie
 alive. and the place where Williams | left the other two was only a block 1 from the ditch In which McKensie's { | body was found, with his throat cut
 from ear to ear about o'clock In tho
 morning.
 Coroner Hlrsehfieid says that the man might have been dead two or three | hours, when he was found. Clayton'a g story, when questioned at police head quarters, this evening. was that he and | Mckenzie turned north instead of south. and csrcled around by a circuit 1 ous route to the down town district. He says he knows nothing Of the mur- der. Williams, on the other hand, when again questioned bv the oficere was very positive that Mckenzie and Ciay- 1 ton turned south towards State street. Williams has been detained at police l headquarters under sus~ icion since Wednesday night, and since his story and other facts corroborating 1t have | become known. the residence Of Claw | tons mother, at Wilkerson and St, Louis streets. has been watched. but l he has not been theer since that time. i He was caught this evening by the deps utv sheriff at Whistler.

To Merchants

We were compelled to g. out ourselves and buy for Christmas trade and we are still short of some kinds of Women's coarse work shoes, but we are well suplied with dress shoes; and of heavy working shoes for men, we can show a large variety.
 Have a few cases of long leg boots, both in calf skin and split feathers.
 We shall be pleased to sell any of these on a 10 per cent to 12 per cent basis of profit, but unless for spot cash, the merchant will have to be well rated by the mercantile agen- cies, and pay in 30 days, which with us does not mean 40 days.

COLLINS TO PASS
 THROUGH BISBEE.
DEPUTY BENNETT ARRIVES IN FL PASO TOO LATE TO RE-
 TURN YESTERDAY.

Arriving in Fl Paso too late to start for Tombstone yesterday, Deputy Sheriff Bennett will pass through Bis bee today with c. W. Collins, who is wanted at the county seat for defraud- ing several of his creditors.
 Collins, when he assumed the alias of Charles Watson" was but taking his first two names, for which his initials, C. w, stand. He readily ad- mitted to the Fl Paso officers that he was the man wanted.
 Thursday morning Chief of Police Hall in Fl Paso received a telegram from Shteriff Stewart Hunt, of Tomb stone, asking him to be on the look out for Charles W. Collins, alias Wat son, who was wanted there on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses in the amount of s3,000.
 The telegram was placed in the hands of Detective Billy Smith, and in less than an hour the man was landed in the police station. Smith saw the man on the street and shad- owed him for several blocks. As he answered the description sent in the telegram, he approached him and said, Hello, Watson"
 k My name is Charles Collins. the man replied, and he was promptly placed under arrest.
 While be was being searched at the n Paso police station, the man was asked if he had any money. He re- piled, Yes" and produced a roll of bills.
 Jaiier Dwyer counted the money and it 1otalIed S1 ,390. Several of the police standing around turned pale, and Chiei Hail was summoned from his office to do the act of the bank teller and verify the count.

ROOM IS ENTERED
 AND S55 STOLEN.
PERRY THOMAS SLEEPS WHILE THIEF TAKES SACK OF MONEY
 FROM HIS PANTS.

Sleeping blissfully on, unmindful that he was in any danger Of losing his money, Perry Thomas. proprietor of the Arch cafe, was robbed or sSo in. his room at the Van Horn lodging house some time between II and b o'clock Tuesday night.
 Thomas had the money in SACK in the pockets, of his pants, which ne had left hanging over the back Of a chair. The robber was apparently satisfied with the money he got, ieav- ing behind a gold watch and diamond stud
 Not fearing that anyone would think of entering his room for the pur- pose of robbery, Thomas left the door of his room unlocked when he re- tired at Il o'clock Thursday night. He awoke at o'clock in the morning to find his wealth $55 less than when he retired.
 The officers are working on the case, but thus far have been unable to find any clew that will lead to an ar rest. As far as known no one was seen to enter or leave Thomas room during the hours that he slept.
 Thomas stated yesterday that he has no idea who committed the crime. He states that several people, who are strangers in the city, might have seen him put the money in his pocket when he lefts the Arch Cafe. He has iit. tie hope Of recovering the money ioss-
