with him when he killed Tyler. Mr.. Helt-
man conducted the direct examination.
Mr.. Darrow resting. Mason said he lived
at Remington, Idaho, where he had taken
up a homestead in 1901.
The homestead is in the Marble Creek

in 1904. He had a lease of 160 acres on the
river which he used as a place for his

country and kill Tyler on August 10, or
Ed Boule ON August 20, as the state
claims.
Mason was asked If he was arrested for
the Tyler killing, and he said he was. in
September 1906 while on the train.
To question If he had met MCFARLAND,
the Pinkerton detective, during his con-
nnement. Mr.. knight objected and was
sustained by the court. Mr.. Darrow had
taken the matter into his own hands at
this time. and said that he would ask 10

days for testimony and the end of next
week will see an end to the Adams case.
Arguments will require three or four
days.

RECOVERS STOLEN PROPERTY

Special Officer Patterson. of the Santa Fe service, returned to the city last Monday evening from Seligman, where he had gone to follow up clew to the robbery of quite a number of carpenters tools which occurred at the Grand Can von a few months ago.
 Immediately upon his arrival at Seligman the shrewd officer re- paired to a string of outfit cars that were standing on a side track, and instituted a search of the different tool chests belonging to the men in the employ of the Santa Fe. None of the stolen articles were found until he searched the chest belonging to Wm. Bellman, in which was found several tools which were recognized by the party from whom they were stolen, and who had accompanied the officer from Williams to Seligman.
 Bellman was then asked if there were any tools in a trunk standing nearby, and replied If there was he didn't know how they got there" The officer then opened the trunk and was somewhat surprised to ind that the entire contents were tools of all descriptions, and that most of them were the property of the party from the Canyon.
 The fact of the tools being in Bellman's possession was sufficient evidence to warrant his arrest, and Officer Patterson accordingly taken him in custody and brought him to this city Monday evening, and incarcerated him in the city iail. Bellman was arraigned before Judge Langin on Tuesday, and plead guilty to the charge of petit
 larceny, and after a severe repri- mand from the court was sentenced to fifty days in the county jail at Flagstaff, to which place he was taken Tuesday evening by Deputy Sheriff Holden.

ARIZONA TERRITORIAL FAIR
NOVEMBER llth to 10th, 1907

Unusual interest exists in various parts of the territory in regard to the third annual terri torial fair, which is to occur in Phoenix November 11th to 18th.
 Many letters are received daily at the office. sometimes mounting up in the hundreds and making all kinds of inquiries and often offering suggestions that are decidedly beneficial, but all con- tain the sentiment of cooperation that is so essential to make any public enterprise a success.
 The writers seemingly under. stand, without further explanation that 1t IS their fair, and so it is. It belongs as much to one citizen of the territory as to another, and belongs to us all individually and collectively.
 We can we'll feel proud of our achievements in the past, and though satisfactory, will be en- abled by experience so obtained 10 accomplish even greater success.
 No industry that is beneficial to our productions has been over looked. The dairy interests have been given the full attention to which they are entitled. As a matter of illustration of showing how little we know of our resources how many of the residents of our territory know that we manufac- ture the Lily Cream? Yet such is the case. and an advertising ex- hibit will be given by them con Sisting of a trained Jersey COW harnessed to wagon and driven about the grounds.
 Cows being milked by machinery is another interesting feature that may be seen at the fair in con- nection with the dairy department.
 That all may be entertained who attend the fair. many forms of amusement will be provided, the most important being the harness and running races. There are now stabled on the grounds in excess one hundred horses which are entered in the race events, and there are enough other horses entered which are yet to arrive tc swell the number above two hundred. This is to be the largest race meet held this year west O. the Mississippi. It will be pro- ductive of exceptionally fast time and close finishes. In one event in addition to others, there are five horses entered that have been racing in the grand circuit this season. There are many of those entered here that have made good records in the grand circuit this year, and all who come to the fair will see the fastest and best horses shown anywhere.
 Arrangements have been made this year to have the streets at the fair grounds sprinkled so that there will not he the usual amount of dust. Do not miss taking in the greatest fair ever held in the southwest.

STATEHOOD ASSURED

Washington, Oct. 26.== President Roosevelt this morning made the positive announcement that he would use his influence with the coming congress to secure separate state hood for Arizona as we'll as the territory of New rIexiCo.
 The chief executives statement was made to Senator Flint, of CalifOr- mia, and through him made public.
 r1r. Roosevelt, however, ex- pressed the opinion that nothing in the way of statehood for either of the territories mentioned could be accomplished during the conn., ing session of congress.
 Upon being advised of the fore going Associated Press dispatch, Sims Ely, secretary to the govern- or. stated that some such announce ment from the White House had been expected at the governors office
 On the 22nd. he said, Governor Kibbey had telegraphed him from Memphis: "I had perfectly satisfactory conference with the president on Arizona affairs. Will return in about ten days and give details"
 And today, MT. Ely said, Judge Kent and he had received from the governor very interesting letters relating to the conference with the president, the details of which, when made public. will be most gratifying to the people of Arizona.
 They preferred, however, Mir. Ely added, 10 leave it. to the governor himself 10 make a state ment to the people when he re- turned to the territory.-Gazette.
