Two Former "Big Jail" Pris-
Oners in bad" Again.
j. A. Donovan and Will jackson In
for Another Experience On
Felony Charge.
CLAIMS ROBBERY BY FORCE

VIII Jackson and j. A. Donovan.
VINO this week barely escaped pen
itentiary sentence for obtaining mon
ed by false pretenses. stand an ex-
eeilent chance of making their sec
ond appearance before the "Big
Court this time on probably a more
serious charge.
Donovan and Jackson are charged
by Walter Timmons, age IS, son of
Pilot John Timmons. of the I. C.
transfer boat Duncan, with robbery.
and the matter looks rather delicate
for the two prisoners, who were this
morning fully identified by Young
Timmons, and who broke down and
wept because of the alleged treat
ment he received at the hands of the
prisoners.
They pulled out big pistol and
pointed 1t at my head, commanding
me 10 give them back SO they had
paid me in Illinois to pull them
across the river to the Kentucky
shore the boy walled as he looked
the men over in the lookup this morn
ing.
The prisoners did not deny the fact
that they had been pulled across the
river by the boy. but do say that they
did not take any money from him be-
cause they had none. Donovan SEEM
ed anxious to see Capt. Timmons, the
father to FIX the matter up" and
will be given an opportunity to do
so in court tomorrow.
Little Is known about the two
prisoners here. They came to Padu-
cab several months ago, and Donovan
worked for a time at the Cooperage
Co. plant. With Jackson he went to
the j. c. Lindsey grocery on the
south side and secured groceries on
credit. The grocer alleged that Dono-
van claimed he was employed in the
cooperage plant and that Jackson
was foreman of his crew. They were
tried for this but acquitted and after
that disappeared until yesterday af-
ternoon when arrested again for al
legged robbery.
lItl Adu uttH III MtlAoDOllS anu
were returning home. They left the
boat at Brookport and desiring to
come across yesterday morning en-
gagged the Timmons boy TO pull them
over. He agreed, he says for 81 to
do the work. but when they wanted
to go as far as the wharf boat he
added two dollars, which they paid
him. He claims the 50 was taken
away by force when the bank was
reached
Donovan and Jackson say they had
no money and agreed to send it to
the boys father. but were warned
not to because the boy told them the
parent might drink 1t up" Dono-
van seemed anxious to see the father
and pay him the 81 or So and end
the matter.
On account of Young Timmons'
absence this morning the case was
left open in the city court until to-
morrow morning.
The authorities believe that the
two prisoners promised to pay the
boy for rowing them across the swol-
len river and then failed to do so
and hence the boys charge, while
others believe the boys story is true
in detail.
Donovan and Jackson came here
from ST. Louis. they say. and are
from the world at large" They
have sister and one or two other
female relatives dependant on them
they claim. Their residence is In
Boyd's alley.on the North Side.

TRIBUTE OF INSPECT
 10 DELOSS $. BROWN
His Memory is Revered by His Fellow
 Citizens Of Peoria, Ill.

The Peoria rald-Transcript of July 3, pays the following tribute to the memory of Deloss $. Brown, who was largely interested in salt- River valley realty, and whose death was announced in these columns a week or two ago:
 Deloss s. Brown is dead. He has been a prominent figure in the affairs of this city for a generation, and in his death, Peoria has lost one of her most energetic and patriotic citizens. MT. Brown never stopped to count the cost when any project was on hand for the betterment of the community. He never waited to see if some other per son would not step to the front and give his time, his ability and his money toward making the thing a success. Whenever there was need of a man to take hold and work, MT. Brown step ped to the front and nothing that he put his hand to was in any danger of failure for lack of Judgment or energy.
 MT. Brown belonged to the group of men who made the prosperity of this c.ty. There is no reason why any
Arizona republican., 1906-07-16

of the river town should not have beat en Peoria as a center, of trade save that Peoria had a few shrewd and az gressive business men who knew the needs of the community and who were not afraid of work or to invest their money after they had earned it. It is the citizen quite as much as the loca- tion that goes to make a city prosper ous and MT. Brown was one of the class which makes success.
 Like many another successful west ern business man, he came from the New England states in his youth with no capital whatever. But he had the ability and the ambition, and these. with the shrewdness and thrift which he had learned at home were all the capital he needed. He succeeded in every enterprise he ever engagd in. He made a respectable fortune. He se- cured the respect and admiration of all the men who knew him and now that he is dead, he will be sadly missed in the community.
 It does not take long 10 forget men who are dead. Their places are soon filled in the business world, their dut,es are taken up by others, and save in their own family they are not missed for long. But MT. Brown will be missed. His enthusiasm for every thing which tended to the betterment of the city either politically, commer- cially or artistically, made him a prominent and influential citizen. He was loving husband, a kind father and good citizen. These are good American virtues. He was a man whom we can i'll afford to lose.

SOME MORE RELIEF.

There was a large sigh of relief when the result of the election in New York was known, but the scare caused by Hearst didn't fade entirely away. So his latest announcement will cause some more relief. T will" he says, never again be a candidate. shall continue to live in New York and advo- cate and support the principles of re- form which I have always stood for, but these principles are now sufficiently understood by the general public for it to be no longer necessary for me to be a candidate, and on that account to be attacked with much bitterness"
 It is no wonder that Hearst feels this way His trial cost him $256,87O, ac- cording to his own statement. He was defeated, and he was thumped until he must have been very sore if he has feeling, as we suppose he may have. It cetainly doesn't appear to be nec- essary for him to go through such a performance again, and he may be able to do quite as good work in the ranks as he has done as leader. He has behaved we'll since the election, so well that many are beginning to think that they may have been a little hard on him.

HELP FOR GERMAN uoRKERs.

The twenty-ffth anniversary of Prince Bismarck's announcement in the
 Reichstag that the Emperor was deter mined that the state should systemat- ically assist the working people, male or female, by accident, sick and old age insurance is attracting attention. Since that announcement was made great work has been done. During the last twenty years $555, 75O, 900 has been paid out for sickness, $2S2, 75O,OOO for acci- dents and $13,5OO,0 900 for old age. The law provides for compulsory contribu- tions by employers and employees In cases of sickness two- thirds of the ex- penses are paid by the employe and one-third by the employer. In accident cases all the expenses are paid by the employer, and in cases of old age pen- sions half the amount is paid by the employer and half by the employe, the government supplementing each pen- sion with S12.50 yearly The total of the various funds is $375, 900, 900, the to- tai amount paid in since the law was passed is $1, ,656, 75o,OOO and sixty million persons have profited by the legisla- tlon.
 Perhaps this country will yet feel the need of such a system. If it does it can have one. There is enough here for all, and though the distribution seems to be somewhat faulty it can, we sup pose, be improved

OUR YISTTORS.

New Haven has reason to feel prop erly big nowadays The Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy came to make us a visit yesterday, and many other great men also arrived. But though we are entitled to feel big, we need not feel that we are burdened with an honor unto which we were not born. New Haven was born for great things, and has been being and doing them all her long and useful life. She is well worth visiting by anybody, not excepting tho Emperor William, whom we hope to sometime see riding through Chapel street on his way to Yale to re- ceive as honorary a degree as Yale can bestow, and as she bestowed on another great ruler who has been mentioned in the same breath with Emperor William. We hope that all the distinguished vis- itors who are here will enjoy their visit, and if there are visitors here who are not distinguished we hope that they will have a pretty good time, There is nothing snobbish about New Haven.
 There will be some distinguished vis- itors here next Saturday, and the plan is to give them the time of their lives. We hope the plan will work, and that the visitors will like it.
