 and a Guileful Heart.

Roosevelt. May 2S-(SpeciaI cor IrespOndence of The Republican, For some weeks past the local peace oftic- CTS have been on the lookout for one
 R. Marble, formerly of this place, but whose whereabouts at the present time are unknown. He is the young map who cut such a dash in town recently that every one who knew him opened their eyes and gazed al tim in wonGct on account of his exceptionally fire clothes and his freedom in spending money. Some of those same people who gazed so wondermgly at his ac- tiOns, are now anXiOusly waiting for him to return to pay a few of the Very many bills he left unpaid wheE he | left so unexpectedly. His case is like that of many others who travel the primrose path and it was not long after he started on his downward course that he was an Outcast among his former friends and fugitive from justice
 By trade, Marble was a jeweler, and at the time of his arrival in Roosevelt many months ago, he was not well. but like many others who come west for the benefit of their health. he was will ! ling to take almost anything that he ! could turn to. to make a ivilihOOd. He worked about town at odd jobs for
 some time and then. when his health permitted, undertook work as a waiter
 at the government camp. Here he re-
 mained some time, but it was during the latter part of his stay on the hill that he got into rather serious difficult ty. The cause of his downfall was drink and too fast company. Because of his Waywardness and inability to keep in fit condition to work. he was ing seemed to cause him to cease his
 discharged. This occurred during March. and from that time on, noth- ing ever interfered with his terrific pace. He made a pretense of work of various kinds. but his jobs were all short lived and he seemed to be unable to hold one for a longer period than a week. He ran bills al various places. always promising to pay at the end of the month. but q at | time never came for the bills remain unpaid yet. The offense howeve~ which brought the law down upon his i head, was the theft of a horse belong | ing to A. R. Jenkins of this place. About three weeks ago he aslSel to rent a horse of MT. Jenkins, saying that he intended going into Globe fDg two or three days The horse was rent i ed during MT. Jenkins absence from ! town. and upon his return almost TWO ! weeks later the horse had not yet been brought back. A warrant was sworn out for Marbles arrest and wor1 wa1 telegTaphed to Globe to apprehend nim { if possible but he was nowhere to be found. It was then that a quiet, but most determined search was made for l him, and in the meantime his fin nciaI  ined into. The search for the young man has been kept up ever since but l he has not been located, and it IS re- lieved that he has succeeded in making his escape from the country. Ills un- ] paid bills were numerous and sOtne of ! them large. Besides laundry and other small ones. he left a bill for over a months board. At one store he left Q | bill of over thirty dollars. while at a | clothing establishment he succeeded in i parting the proprietor from over sixty l dollars worth of goods before the man got wise" All the merchants who | had dealings with him were Init" more | or less severely, and are anxiously l looking for him. His home is reported
 to be somewhere in Louisiana. and it | is believed that he is there now. but should he ever return to Roosevelt he | would md warm reception indeed. i The Roosevelt Tennis Club will hold another tournament for its members | sometime within the near future. Ii s | expected that the preliminary match ! playing will be off in about a week or ! so, and the real play of the tourna- ment will begin sometime during the first part of June. The decision t, | hold another tournament at this time | IS due chiefly to the success of the last
 one held in March and April and the desire on the part of several of the
 members to settle old scores which proved to be more or less unsatisfac-
 tory that time The list of entries for l the various classes will be probably somewhat higher than at the last
 meet, owing to the fact that several | of the old players have left camp. but l with some of the new material that is l on hand the interest in the affair
