.,pvrp FIFTEEN YEARS or LITE
 SENTENCE.

movement is under way to secure
 ,,,J..n for an old man by the name Yrn,s. who is serving a life sen. ,,o,c .t Yuma, says the Arizona Re. .,l;c,u Barnes was soldier of
 .r.o war. He was sent to the ,.,,rn.ary from Yavapai county if. ,.., ,,srs ago, having been convict. al of t',c murder of q companion with .,om l., arrived in the country n short .m, h. lore. He was convicted whol. ,y on ,ircumstantial evidence, and he i.nied ns guilt of the murder and ,.m Jo,ios it. He said that he was ,d v,,h his companion when he was ulled: that they had separated in Prescott. and the companion went on xtb !, team and wagon. His dead body an. found some weeks afterward, not far from town. It has been pointed mn, that there could be no motive for inc killing. since the murdered man had mn money. He had the horses and the .agon. but it could not be shown that Barnea had taken possession of them or disposed of them.
 i was naturally difficult, if not i'm. po,sbl, for him to account for all of l,s iime between the arrival of him. self and his friend in Prescott and ,be time of the finding of the body of ,hc latter weeks afterward.
 Tho~ who have seen the old man in prison say that If the face may be re. garled as an indicator, Barnes nevei committed this murder, or any othei crime. His appearance instead of be ing crimina, is pntriarchal.
 The movement for his release VII, taken up by n sister living in North Dakota. and Grand Army camps in diff fer,nt parts of the country have be rome interested. The petition for hi, pardon IS being signed by Grand Arm, men, who say that though they know nothing about the case, they bcliev, itat when an old man has spent if teen years in prison, his remaining years should be spent in freedom.
 Senator Beveridge is also said (. bc interested in the movement for tn, release of the old man. It is moi under stood whether he is in any way relate, to him, or whether he is merely fricn, of the family.

which was recognized by IIanpa's bro. thcr.
 The jury, after little delibcration, found verdict of guilty, eleven of the twelve voting for the death penalty, one refusing to do so, giving as a reas. on that he did not believe in the death penalty, although he qualified after a close examination on the part of the district attorney in the usual statutory form.
 As . result of the verdict Barnes was sentenced to the territorial prison at Yuma for life. Barnes was so pleas. cd at the verdict that he made no ef. fort to secure new trial, and when sentenced uscd almost all the money he had on deposit in the shcrif's office in purchasing fruit and other dclicacies for his fellow prisoners in the way of n publication celebration over his good luck in escaping the death pen. alty.
 He was defended ny Attorney !. IT. Collins, now deceased, and it Is said on reliable authority that Barnes confessed to his attorney that he struck IIauns q blow with his axe in the side of the head, felling him to the ground, while both were engaged in trimming the trunk of fallen tree, immediately af. forwards taking Hsnna's shooter from his pocket scsbbard as he lay on the ground and shooting him in the back of the head behind the right ear, the bullet coming out as indicated in the skull near the left eye. He after. wards covered the body in rude way with dirt, leaves and brush, and in a short time left the country.
 Barnes has now served a little oves seven years in the territorial prison and it is the opinion of those familiar with the facts in the ease that he should be kept there for the remainder of his natural life. This opinion i' shared by the officer who effected hi. capture and by the officers who ha, charge of him while confined in the county jail here, as we'll by Attorne, Reese NJ. Ling, who prosecuted bin and secured his conviction.

NEW MACHINERY FOR MONARCH
 MINE.
(From Fridays Daily)

AS result of the meeting of tho directors of the Monarch Mining and Smelling O., held on August : at Macon, Ga, a new concentrating plant IS to be installed on the company's pro. pcrtics, situate in the Black Rock dis. trict, and known as the Ryland mine. and also as the "Three Black Buttes.v Negotiations have been under way for some time for the purchase of tho plant, but the deal was closed after the adjournment of tho meeting and the machinery is now being loaded in the ears for transit to the camp.
 The following stockholders were elected officers for the ensuing year, with Macon, Ga., the home of a ma. Jority of the directors as the place of the principal offices of the company; l. w. Ross, president; F.. l.. Martin, secretary; F. R. Dozler, treasurer, and Charlc. W. Platt, superintendent and general manager.
 The compsny's holdings. consisting Of twelve claims, arc situate about nine miles northeast of the town of Wick cnburg, the nearest accessible railroad station on the s. F. F. nnd r. The lo- cations cover, in addition to the net. work of veins passing through tho ground, water rights containing suf6. cient water for the reduction plant and domestic use at inc camp.
 The mine is developed by over 5000 feet of underground work, in the way of tunnels, drifts and raises, and double compartment working shaft sunk at point convenient to where the vein crosses the lowest part of the mountain. Openings from this shaft, which is now down to depth of 200 feet, will tap the vein st depth Of 450 feet from its apex, where it crops ont on the surface of the mountain side. Competent engineers who havo made expert examinations of the mine, estimate an enormous amount of gold and copper ore of good grade in sight, already blocked out, and ready to be stopped. insuring s great future for the property when the product is conccn. trated and made ready for market.
 Since the group Of mines passed into the control of the company, Charles W.
 PIatt bss had charge of the develop. ment on the ground, and 1t is largely
 due to his efforts and good judgmen, that the property has been developed al it now stands into one of the most pro
 missing in the county. That his man
 agement is appreciated by the direct ors Is proven by his reelection as gen
 cral manager and superintendent, al V though many members of the former
 board of directors were retired at th, recent meetings of the stockholdcr, held in Macon, Georgia, when the Doc ley Sutton interests of Illinois passe, , out of the control eg the eompany's af !, fairs.

(From Thursday's . Daily)

Afiu waiting in this city for week m vain effort to apprcheDd former partner, whom he accuss~ of robbing hlm of a gold watch and chain and s|5 in cash while asleep in the Depot hotel, m ibc early hours of tbe morning of August ?, James TuvnbulI, a miner. wlll leave today for Los Angeles, pur. chasing n ticket with money advanced 10 him by friend in tbe southern Cali. fornia metropolis.
 Turnbull's story is one of Jisappoint. men, and misplaced confidence. Accord. ing to his statement, he came hcYc on the first of the present month from the Iron King mine, in ceupany with a swede named Nat, whesc surname he cannot recall, who hx4s worked as A partner with him during the previous month in the Iron King nine, and whom he had taught how tc r,pp a machine drill.
 He cashed his cheek amounting tO 'j3, and the Swede slse ~sshed a cheek which amounted to &7l.35. After mak ing few minor purchsscs around the city they engaged room St the Depot hotel, both retiring at a iWc hour to- psthcr.
 About o'clock in the morning Turn huil awakened to 6nd that the Swedc had departed, and on making search discovered that his g"'l waTch and chain and all of his cash, amounting to n little over &45. was missing. He found the Swede's watch, which wa, . cheap one, hanging on tke wall near The head of the bed, and also his blan' kMs which it is presumed he left be h'nd after appropriating the meney md vaiuablcs. Hurriedly dressing, he informed the night clerk of what had happened. With the night policeman he made a careful search through ths various resorts of the city for his de p"''"d eompanion, failing to hn.i any Trace of him and the following morn ing informed n deputy sheriff of the 'h"i'. Ever since these officers have Kept a sharp Look out for the swede hl' no clue to his whereabouts hn' y"t been discovered,
 TurnbulI, being without funds. m formed q member of the local lodge ol the Woodmen Of the World of his pro d'eament, and received enough none, To pay his expenses until he hear' rom his Los Angeles friend, who for warded remittance large enough t' cover his expenses here and ticke' 10 Los Angeles.
 The watch stolen is encased in Tour ounce gold case, the chain being three braided gold one with a slide.
 He believes that the Swede left fol colorado, for the reason that he recent " arrived in this territory from tha state, and oftsntimes declared his m 'ention to return there.

Jewelry without Owners.

'Do you know" asked a prominent
man in the jewelry trade in Maiden
lane, that there are thousands of dol
lars, perhaps hundreds of thousands,
worth of unclaimed jewelry reposing
in the safes and safety deposit vaults
Of goldsmitLs and jewelers.?
'sThese valuable articles consist Ell
Their of jewelry left to be repaired and
which has never been called for be-
cause of forgetfulness or because the
owners have suddenly left the land Of
the living without leaving any record
Of the %valuables. Many an executor of
a tangled estate will be glad to get this
hint.
Last November I had two relatives
of persons who were killed in the Slo-
cum disaster finally trace heirlooms to
me. So far as my records show. my
patrons left articles to be repaired. and
shortly afterward the fire destroyed all
records Of the transfer. 1 am always
glad to get rid Of these left overs not
only because l wish the cash value of
repairs, but also because they are re
garded as hoodoos."-New York Press.
