Of resistence known tO the law, and after the privy council of England had passed upon their cases. Their cap ture was due to the efforts of Sena- tor Philander C. Knox of Pennsylva- mia, then attornev general, who per sisted in his determination that these embezZlers should not escape. Friends of Senator Knox say he considers it one of the greatest legal victories of his career. He set up his opinion against that of Sir Edward Clarks, the leader of the English bar. and was sustained by the priyy council. He refused an offer of more than Greene and Gaynor had embedded to compro- mise the cases. CndiscouTaged by the obstacles met with in the Canadian courts. MT. Knox adhered to hls deter imitation that these criminals should not escape the penalty they deserved and he keut relentlessly upon their trail until he had them facing a court of justice in Savannah.
 An official of the department of jus tice. who IS cognizant of all the facts in the cases. gave the following story of the apprehension and conviction of the two famous embeZzIers:
 John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene were indicted at Savannah Ga.' in December 1899. charged with em- bezzlement and defrauding the United states government in conjunction with Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter, in the performance of government contracts for certain Improvements in Savannah Harbor. They were arrested in New York and taken before a commissioner for eXtradition upon proceedings for their removal to Georgia. and when decision was rendered against them and their appeal to the supreme court from the decision of Judge Larcombe refusing writ of habcas corpus was unsuccessful. they fled to Quebec.

4 Few Reflections of the AlI-Arizona
 Neishbors Respecting the Late Fair.

The gospel that was promulgated in a recent issue of this paper. wherein The Republican in executive session paraded before the brethren in this county, their shortcoming in the agri- cultural and stock exhibits at the late | fair. struck home in some quarters at least Several have come bravely up to the mourners bench and pleaded guilty. There are a lot more who are labOring under conviction but who have not yet had the courage to break their silence. Just to make it easy The Re publican will say that they will not be called upon to give verbal testimony unless they want to. What the cOUn- try wants is works and if that evil dence is forthcoming at the next fair it will be sufficient proof Of the acCep- tance of the faith.
 Just to demonstrate the fact that the sermon found Judgment. and not to hold him up as greater than any other sir ner. it may be said that Belt Fine, one of the most prosperous and progressive ranchers in the valley and a fine gem tlemen to know. was one of the men guilty ot the sin of omission and he came in like real martyr and fessed up. He said that after he read the ar ticle in The Republican he went out in his straw berry patch and picked five boxes of Thanksgiving berries and every one of them looked him in the face as much as to say they were dis appointed in not being taken to the fair And speaking of chrysanthe- 1aI two or three little bouquets on exhibi- ton, not enough to adorn a Thanks giving dinner table in Poverty Flat. And all that time there was a wagon load of them out on his ranch that might have been cheering the eyes and hearts of 5000 people during fair week. beside letting the world know that chrysanthemums can be raised in Arizona just as easily as taps
 And those are only two items out of hundred of the same sort that might have been on display if anybody had thought about it or taken the time to bring them in. But with all the op- portunities for it's betterment. the fair was still the biggest and best that ever happened in the southwest and did more for the whole territory than any body can estimate. One great idea it stimulated nightly is the showing to Mexico that this territory Is a great storehouse for a lot of things needed down south. the cheapest. best and most available place to buy them. It may be said also in compliment to Mexico that the state of Sonora at least had a better appreciation of the
 
 within this territory. Nevertheless the improvement from extreme territorial points this year was so good there is every reason to hope for big show next year. Here are few reflections

Meanwhile. however. writs of habeas corpus had been issued by Judge Andrews of Quebec. and the jailor conducted the prisoners thither. The United States moved to quash the writs upon the ground that the judge was without ju risdiCtion. the motions were granted, and the sheriff ordered to reconvey the prisoners to Montreal Before that was done. further writs of habeas corpus were issued by Judge Caron in Que bee. The United States again moved to uuash these writs. but the judge rendered judgment disChargins the prisoners on the ground that the of lenses charged against them were not extradition offenses.

The habeas corpus proceedings terminated in decision against the prisoners. and as thev now had exhausted all their le- gal remedies, they were forced to sub init to the inevitable and were brought to the United States in october of that year Grave fears were entertain ed of their escape. and many rumors were afloat of a probable attempt at rescue near the border. Accordingly a large body of secret service men, re- inforced by the local police, watched the jail during the prisoners last days in Montreal, they were closely guarded on their journey. and the eXtradition was accomplished with safety.

from the fair in the territorial papers:
 The one exhibition of San Pedro Val ley sweet potatoes was the only display of agricultural products entered at the Arizona territorial fair from Cochise county this year. and its success in winning first premiums over all com petitors, should encourage a regular county exhibit from Cochise next year in charge of some enthusiastic and sue cessful warmer like MT. White, who could do much to make known the ad- vantage of our soil. so much of which could be brought to a higher state of usefulness.-Benson Press.
 A noticeable feature of the fair was the great increase of the display of agricultural products from farms out side Of MaricOpa county. Yuma COun- ty Carr.ed away prizes on nearly every entry made in the agricultural line. It is a notable event that the cotton grown on the experiment farm at Yuma received first mention. while Tempe sent the cotton to the New Orleans cotton exposition which took first prize-Yunia Enterprise.

The only display from Paradise was a fine mineral exhibit sent by Hands Bros, of the Hilltop mine. The mineral exhibit in the building set apart for that purpose was, MT. Walker said. a grand one. Prac- tically every mining district in the territory was represented with credit able displays. Though the different displays were all good. Mir. Walker re- ferred especially to the exhibit of tho roughbred cattle and horses. So fine was this exhibit that it was doubtless a pleasant surprise to many Arizonans and one that reflected the greatest credit on the territory.

 The third territorial fair which closed at Phoenix last Saturday was a grand success in every particular. The attendance was very large. from 15.OOO to 1S,000 people being gathered on the grounds on the opening day The weather waS glorious during the entire week.

One horse was sent to the fair from this county. Prince Zombro. owned by pr. Belt.
