PHOENIX, A. T., Sept 21.-Yves Le-
levier of Douglas was given hearing
here today before United States Com
missioner Johnstone on complaint of the
Mexican government demanding extradi-
ton for the larceny of two checks of
SO and $10.50 respectively. He was dis
charged, but was Immediately ordered
into custody again by United States Dis
trict Attorney Alexander and is now held
in the county Jail without a warrant OF
arrest.
Counsel for defense, George Purdy Bull
lard says proceedings will follow against
the United States marshal for every
hour the Mexican is restrained of liberty
Marshal Daniels is not here and his
deputy and the sheriff's office are in an
embarrassing position.
G. G. Lelevier, publisher of a Spanish
paper in Douglas, and mis- son Yves were
arrested on this charge in July at Doug
las. The offense, it was alleged, had beer
committed in Nogales about two years
ago. The men were accused of abstract
ing checks from mail, though the charge
is larceny and not robbing the mails
They were jailed in Tucson. Just be-
fore the expiration of the treatN allow
ance of forty days for trial they were
broughp to Phoenix. Having no coun.
sci they were given time to secure de-
fense and the case has been dragging
several days before the commissioner
They were given separate trials on iden
teal charges and no decision has beer
given in the case of the elder man.
The defense claims the checks were Sc
cured by purchase in the regular order
of business. G. G. Lelevier at that time
was conducting a brokerage business
On the occasion of the Serabia kidnap
ing from the Douglas Jail last June by
conspiracy of Mexican officers ant
local officials Lelevier in his paper Sc
verely denounced the Mexican officials fol
the irregularity. Serabia later was re
turned and discharged. Lelevier says hi'
handling the checks was known in Feb
ruary, 1906, and action was begun only
after the Serabia case to get him across
the line to punish him for political of
fense He denies being a revolutions
but asserts his American citizenship ant
right to criticise.
The commissioner ruled that the allege'

PASADENA. Sept 21.-Another protest

that they anticipate a COUP 1t Is
thought by some parties that the petit

for the Los Robles people to add few

BILL NYE MONUMENT BOOK
A scINTlLLATlNG SUCCESS

Tn the Bill Nye book Of the Press
I5nmorists' association will be found
Variable treasure house or genuine
sparkling humor. 1t not only coHi
memorates the annual convention oi
the iokesmiths in Los Angeles, but Will
aid greatly in the work of creating
fund with which to erect a monument
to one of Americas greatest numor1ses 1ssa.
A brief historical sketch tells us that
Edpar Wilson Nye-Bill Nye-was born
Aneust 25. 1850, at Shirley Piscataquis
county. Maine. Looking further
through the pages we find a rev OF ms
immortal quaint sayings, for examples
"rhe burro has rich contralto voice
which ought to have some machlne OH
on it,"
ment has never looked into the scheme
for fighting the Indians with rhubarb
oie instead of the regular army
Nve lived near the seat of the indian
warfare the greater part of his life, and
was qualified to judge the most potent
method of defeating them.
Speaking of a prominent politician OF
his dav: 1--WE are both great men, but
7 have succeeded better In Keeping IL
nfofound secret than he"
sVagner's music is not so bad as 1T
sounds"
NAV not be so fraught with untram-
meied nature and sylvan retreats, ana
wild. picturesque canyons ana things
Of that kind; although wealth may not
come pouring in upon you In such an
irresistible torrent as you desire, you
know that if you can get enough TO eat
from day to day and dodge the ceiluleld
ME and the vigilance commlttee you
are comparatively SAFE.
Many Tributes
passing from Nye's own writings to
what the present day humorists and
iournaIists think of him, we find this
FROM the pen of John B. Elliott OF Los
ANGELES. 1t sums up in single para
rranh how much the humor of Nye has
been plagiarised and initiated.
.Edgar Wilson Nye has almost as
large a following as Mahomet. Scat
tared over the country are several
thousand Immature humorists who are
natientlv plodding in the footsteps OF
the great genius of Laramie, working
over his productions revarnishing and
revamping his jokes and palming them
off on a gullible public as real twen-
tfsth century brain throbs"
What Bill Nye thought of California
is reproduced through the courtesy OF
II H' Andrews of San Diego, who at q
great cost has secured number OF the
humorist's letters, written about the
time he visited the land OF sunshine
and flowers ''Tis land where IT'S
always afternoon" Is but one OF the
many good things which should be read
by every Californian.
