and expressed surprise to see me there;
denied that my name was Fleenor, and
then he told me to get up and go up to
one of the upper tanks. | did so, and he
put me in a cell with another man.

Threatens to Break Prison
'T am not going to prison of my own

Tried to Kill JaiIer

Had the plans laid by Fleenor after his
arrest late Saturday night not miscarried

be at liberty with a warrant charging
According to confessions made by the
man at the county Jail Yesterday he had
prepared to slay Night Jailer Shields at

unlock the door which stood between
him and the liberty he so much Graves.
In order to carry out this plan and gain
weapon, he admitted having gained
possession of one of the heavy iron balls
and chain which are worn by the mem
bers of the chain gang. 1t was his in
tention to strike, the ,jailer with this
chain and use the ball, which weighs
about fifty pounds, to Smash any bar

Fleenor was confined in the drunk tank
after being arrested. The passage between
this tank and the main corridor of the
Jail is left open nights, and Fleenor
playing in his usual luck, managed to
find weak spot in the door leading into
the room where the balls and chains are
kept. He found no trouble IN forcing this
door without being observed.

WEST PROSPEROUS
 BUT APPREHENS|vE
MT. Hartman Paints a Very Roseate Picture of the West-Says There Is Plenty of Money, but Big Enterprises Are Sure to Cause Contraction.

While in New York the other day E. II. Hartman, just fresh from a tour of the west, said that it was more prosper ous than ever before, that there are no signs of panic here, but that the peo- pie are now seeking investments. He added
 "In spots the crops will not be as good as last year, but the west will have fair crops. Our lines appeared to be well developed. Crops are excellent on the lines of the Union Pacific. There is no question in my mind that q good deal of money is tied up in the banks, but there are people hanging on to their money now that will be later seeking in vestments.
 "I found the attitude of people with money one of uncertainty; there is more money in the country than we believe, but it is being held from free circulation because of some apparent fear of apprehension. l think securi- ties have gone very much below what they should have gone under any cir cumstance.
 Although he has seen no marked signs of business depression in the west, Hartman said contracts in all lines is sure to come. The lack of money to carry out big enterprises alone is sufficient to bring about con traction.

DISPENSERS IF
 PIE IN TUCSON
National Committeeman Sturgis and Other Republican War Horses Meet in the old Pueblo and Talk Over the Political Situation in Arizona.

National Committeeman Sturgis, who days on private and political business, will leave this morning for his ranch near Arivaca, says the Arizona Star. A prominent politician of Maricopa county, in the person of George Mauk, secretary of the central committee of the territory, and chief clerk of the last council, arrived here yesterday from Phoenix and spent several hours in consultation with the acknowledged leader of the Republican forces in the territory.
 Another visitor to the city, during the brief visit of the national committee, man, was M. E. Cassidy, postmaster at Bisbee and a member of the territorial Republican executive committee. What Cassidy doesn t know about Republican politics in Coehise county is not worth knowing.
 Long distance communication was also had with Hon. Fred Cleaveland of Graham county, who was elected to the council last November in that Dem ocratie stronghold on the Republican ticket.
 It is evident that well planned pro. gram has been mapped out in Tucson during the present week. The show will be put on early in the spring with Sur gis playing the heavy parts and Mauk, Cassidy, Cleaveland and Tenny working the side lines.
 The piece will be entitled "The Sur vival of the Fittest, |" or "Who Got the Pie. v
 In conversation with Republican lead CTS in Tucson this week, Colonel Sur gis made the statement that in his opin. | ion Arizona's representative would make a mistake in the next congress by urging a single statehood bill. In the opinion of the national committee man the introduction of such bill would be useless and advises that the entire question be dropped for the i'm mediate present until another census is ! taken which will give Arizona addi- tional claims for independent and sep. arate statehood. Colonel Sturgis is of the opinion that New Mexico will be admitted to statehood at the next ses- ! sion and that Arizona will come into | the Union in 1911.

MINE PROMOTERS LAND IN PRISON
They Tried to Run the Fake Lost Bul- lion Mine and Succeeded in Getting Lots of Money-O Officials Found Tun- nels Were Mere Holes.
A report from Denver says:

A report from Denver says:
 One of the most important eonvic- tions ever obtained by the United States postoflice department is that in the case of the Lost Bullion Spanish Mine company, a verdict being given in the United States district court last evening by which William Wilson, w. B. Cameron, c. l.. Blackman, Arthur Le- van, David Lawrence and several oth- CTS are found guilty on three counts of using the mails to defraud investors.
 The Spanish Bullion mine, according to the testimony, was an absolutely worthless old mining claim in New Mexico, which at one time had been worked and was later abandoned. The men who have just been convicted got hold of the property and began an ex- tensive advertising campaign in which the mine was described as one of fabu- Ions richness. Extracts from Prescott s history of Mexico telling of great amounts of gold obtained by the In dians from lost mine, were used to entice investors.
 It was claimed that the mine had yielded millions of dollars worth of nearly pure gold and would yield mil lions more. The tunnels and workings were extensively described in the pros peetus and thousands of dollars were secured from ignorant investors by the promoters. During the trial witness for the government who had been through the workings of the mines, salu that no work had been done on them by the promoting company and that to gei about through the shafts and crosscuts he had been obliged to crawl on his stomach. The conviction of the pro motors is considered of great import. ance. as it will likely be followed by the prosecution of a number of fake mining companies operating in Nevada

learn that the Automobile Club of
America has taken possession of its
new home, which, including the cars IL
contains. represents a round million.
The present membership of the club is
1000 with 800 associate members and
space for $50 cars. A peculiar feature
in this club is its formation of an in
ternal exchange for second hand autos
limited TO its own members who post
on the bulletin board what they have
for sale or what they want TO buy.
This exchange is under the control of
the executive committee and is al
ready found highly useful
The activity of the auto business is
shown by the fact that the sales in
this city since the opening OF the year
reach the enormous amount OF five
millions. and a cash business at that.
In the above sales, fifty-two makers
were included and the aggregate duty
paid on imported cars Is not less than
ten millions. What an immense busi-
ness Il has become, These enormous
imports. however. are offset by the
rapidly increasing exports. which In
Ave years have advanced from one mill
lion TO nearly four times that amount.
There are now 127 agencies In this city
for the sale OF autos. and the num-
ber Is constantly increasing. and yet
how brief II seems since an auto was a
curiosity.
