 STEALING sf00 BILL
Arrested In Tucson As He Was About to Start for New
 York City,
(Tucson star.)

c. Nj. Carney, a bride builder work ing for the Twin Buttes railway was taken in by the police early yester- day morning on suspicion ot having been concerned in the alleged robbery of an old man named Beattei at Twin Buttes. The matter came to the at tention of Night Jailor Mills as the re- suit of telephone from the Southern Pacific depot, saying that a supicious character was being shadowed near there, and that the police were wanted
 Mills hustled for the depot, and was guided to a frame building by a man named J. Holstrom and Officer Smith. They found there two men, one of them a rather prepossessing and well dressed man under middle age, who gave his name as c. M. Carney. The second man was not un- der suspicion. Holstrom said Carney was suspected of stealing a S100 bill 1 from J. Beattei, at Twin Buttes, while the latter was in an intoxicated con dition, and told Mills that if he would take the accused into custody the complainant would as soon as pessi- bic swear out warrant and appear l III COufL against tue LEtu.
 Holstrom declared that Carney was | intending to take a train for New York City, and that he had in his possession a second class railway ticket for that point. Carney was
 put under arrest and told the officer that the railway ticket in question
 was in care of the barkeeper at the Cactus saloon. The ticket passed into the hands of the officers, as did also 9 yalise.
 During the forenoon Justice Richey
 was found, and Holstrom swore to a | complaint ons which a warrant was
 issued and served. charging Carney
 with robbery, a felony. Carney was then turned over to Sheriff Paeheco. Holstrom gave the additional in | formation that Beattei and Carney
 had been drinking together at Twin Buttes, and declared that while the l former was very drunk they retired to the same tent to sleep. He de clares that the next day Carney left | for Tucson without saying goodbye 1 to any one, or even stopping to get | is pay; that Beattei missed his S1OO l and asked Holstrom to come to Tue son and see if he could locate Carney,
 whom he suspected of having relieved him of his money. Holstrom came | immediately to Tucson, located his
 man, and finding that he had pur- chased ticket for New York, caused
 his arrest as noted.
 Carney was seen in the county | jail in the afternoon, well dressed.
 clean, and only fairly communicative.
 He said he had no reason to know
 why they suspected him of being a
 thief. Asked why he had bought a ticket for a long trip, with so little
 money left as s3.25, which was the
 amount found on his person, he
 made a slip by saying that that was
 enough to buy provisions on the trip.
 Then asked why he had left Twin
 Buttes, he said that he wanted to go home to New York. that the com pany owed him something more than | $50 and that he intended to go back and draw his pay before he went | home. He said that he had some money and came to Tucson to buy clothes in preparation for the trip. He admitted that he and Beattei had been drinking together. but that he did not even sleep in the same tent with the old man, and knew nothing about his money
