A muster roll of Knights of
Pythias was held at Castle Hall Fri
day night, which was attended by a
large number of Knights. Many
members of the lodge who could not
be present responded by encoura ging
letters. After the regular business
had been transacted, the birthday of
the order, which is now AZ years old,
was fittingly referred to by many
present. After the lodge had been
closed Chancellor Commander Danen-
hauer presided as master of cere
monies at a banquet served in the
ante-room, which was greatly enjoy
ed. All knights present were called
upon for few remarks, and the re-
sponses were greatly enjoyed. The
Knights of Pythias order was found
ed by Justine H. Rathbone forty-two
years ago, and has since spread to
every state and territory in the
Union, including Alaska, and is also
we'll represented in Cuba, the Philip
pines, Hawaiian Island, Canada and
Mexico. There are now more than
half million Knights enrolled under
the banner of Pythianism, and the
good that they have done is appre-
ciated by thousands of widows and
orphans everywhere.

Hon. Lamar Cobb returned last
week from Phoenix where he at
tended the meeting of the executive
committee of the Miners Associa-
ton, which is growing more rapidly
than any other association of any
kind ever formed in the territory.
The purposes for which the organiza-
ton was formed have previously been
set out in full in these columns.
The association will hold its first an
nual meeting at Bisbee, April 9th,
and will be largely attended by all
classes of people who are interested
in the welfare of the territory. 1t is
not necessary that man should be a
miner in order to become a member
of the association. All classes of
people are eligible. Hand in your
name, and boost the association. 1t
is good thing for Arizona.

CATTLEMAN KIDNAPPED
HELD FOR RANSOM.
Robert flanagan Carried to Mountains
by RObt. HOII0man.

Robt. flanagan, former citizen OF
Clifton, was kidnapped Friday las
from the stage coach in the Mo-
COLON mountains by Robert Hollo,
man, a well known cattleman of
the Alma country. 1t is said that
Holloman held up tine stage coach,
and at the point of a revolver, COM
PEELED flanagan, who is an old, man to
accompany him to the mountains,
where he is being held for $1,000 ran
som. The news of the kidnapping
was first brought to Silver City by
the stage driver.
The sheriff of Grant county has
sent kilograms to officers throughout
the southwest to apprehend Hollo-
man, who is generally well known in
this section, having frequently
brought cattle here for local butch
ers.
flanagan and Hollomau have been
having trouble for several years,
brought about by business trans
actions in which Hollomln claims to
have been worsted I
Later dispatches from Silver City
state that the ransom money has been
twice paid, but the prisoner not yet

this week from Denver in the custody
of strong guard of Idaho and Colo
RADIO officers
The officers in charge of the prison
ers were Adjutant General Buckley
Wells, of Colorado, Col. D. w. Strick-
land, of the governors staff, Meld-
rum Watson and Fisher, operatives
of a detective agency, and James
Mills, deputy warden of the Idaho pen
itentiary.

Harry Orchards alleged confession
purports to give details of the plot to
assassinate former Governor Steun-
enberg from its inception. 1t gives
the names of others alleged to be i'm
plicated.
Since the confession was secured,
more than two weeks ago, detectives
have verified many of the details.

sion is that Orchard was selected tC
assassinate one of the Justices of the
Supreme Court of Colorado a year
ago. He says he buried a bomb
at the judges gate, when he
pulled the string the continuance
failed to explode. Detective MOZART

since dug up this bomb.
In his alleged confession, Orchard !
says he was alone in the actual exc
cution of the Calwell plan: that he
first planned to shoot Steunenberg
with buckshot, and went to his house
on Christmas Eve for that purpose, in
tending to shoot him through win
dow, but abanded the plan and hid a |
of cartridges under the side
walk.
Orchard has, it is claimed, told of |
the workings of an elmer circle" of |
the Western Federation of Miners,
maintained in Denver, and give de-
tails of the plot that led to the kill
ing of a number of men in the Tellu-
ide district in Colorado and informa-
ton about various charges at Cripple
Creek.

Il is learned that the annual re-
port of the affairs of the Bolton
Temple Traction Company, which
operates the interurban line between
Temple and Bolton, will make a
flattering showing. A reduction
of 9 per cent in operating cost and
an increase Of II per cent in bust
ness over last year makes a total Of
80 per cent increase. The physi-
cal condition OF the property is also
shown to be in fine shape. Were
the amount spent in betterments
deducted from the total the increase
would be much larger than shown.
