SWEETHEART WAS DEVOTED 10
 EYTINGE
Murderer Says Woman In Los Angeles Offered Him Her Fortune on Which to Make 6oodgHiS Escape.

According to an Associated Press dispatch sent out from San Francisco Friday, Louis V. Eytinge will re turn to Arizona without the formality of extradition. He was also aware that Sheriff Hayden woul darrive at San Rafael after him tonight.
 The San Francisco papers of the day before yesterday published lengthy interviews with him on the subject of the accusation of murder. He spoke of the gambling on the desert when he won all of Leicht's money and of Leicht's refusal to return Uo town with him. In the letter to the Republican, Eytinge alluded to the ehloral hydrate bottle but he said nothing about the chloroform can found near the body of Leicht. In his interview with the reporters of the San Francisco papers he took that matter up and said that the chloroform had been taken along to kill snakes.
 Eytinge related at length his rela- tions with Mrs. Davis. model in a Los Angeles cloak stire, whom he and Leicht met on their way to Phoenix. He said that Mrs. Davis had separated from her husband by mutual consent and after a division of their property, the wife's share being S3,500.
 He said that after going to Los An geles he met Mrs Davis and she hay ing learned of his criminal career of fered him her money if he would re form and lead an honest life. He said that in response to this proposi- tion he struck her in a fit of. anger. However. he resolved to follow her advice and went tJ San Francisco where by means of a forged recon mendation he had secured employment at Kragen's, where he was arrested.
 He said that after his arrival in San Francisco he wrote Mrs. Davis and that his letter fell into the hands of a female Pinkerton woman and thus his hiding place was pointed out
 Mrs Davis, who was interviewed at Los Angeles the next day, told a somewhat different story. She said that she had met Eytinge and Leicht on train and travelled with them un- til they left the train for Phoenix. She had taken an interest in them only because they seemed to be in ill health. She had no other communi- cation with Eytinge until he appeared in Los Angeles. After he left there she received letter from him and an- swered it.

WAR PRICES DOWN SOUTH.
Quinine s1,7oo an ounce-Flour $500
 Barrel-Fish $5 pound.

In 1865 an ounce of Quinine could not be purchased for less than $1,1OO
 in the South. Provisions were sim ply enormous in price. Here are just a few instances: In February ham weighing fifty pounds sold for exact ly S75e, or at the rate Of $5 pound Flour was $500 barrel
 Fresh fish retailed all over the south at s5 a pound, ordinary meal was $50 a bushel. Those who lived in boarding houses paid from $20O to $500 a month. White beans retal- ed at s75 bushel. Tea went for any thing from S20 a pound 10 S60, ana coffee in a like ratio.
 The most ordinary brown sugar was sold for s1O a pound. Ordinary adamantine candles were sold for SIC a pound. In a cafe, breakfast was ordinarily $10. In April sugar went to $500 a barrel and articles of wear ing apparel sold, coats at $350, trous- CTS at s10O and boots s250.
 Butter was s15 a pound. Potatoes went for $2 a quart. Tomatoes of the size of walnut sold for $20 a dozen. Chickens varied from s35 to $50 a pair.
 The prices on the bill of fare or the Richmond Restaurant in January. 1864, were: Soup, s1.50; bread and butter. S1.5O; roast beef, plate, s; boilded eggs, s2; ham and eggs, $3.50; rock fish, a plate, $5; fried oysters, plate, s5; raw oysters, 8; fresh milk, aglass, $2; coffee, cup, 8; tea, a cup, g.
 These figures are taken from va rious sources and have the virtue of accuracy, is nothing else. Always was present the fear of famine, and time and time again did the soldiers donate a portion of their sations, taken from their aIportionment in the field. to relive the pressing necessi- ties.
 The shrinkage of the currency was of course resI onsible, and some idea may be gathered from story that went the rounds at the time. A sol dier galloped along a country road and farmer leaning over fence ad- mired the animal he rode. He called to the trooper offering to buy the horse:
 Give you sso.OoO for him, Johnny" ;" he said.
 Not much, old man. I just paid $15.000 to have him shod," was the re- ply.

ACOSTA PARD0NED
 BY GOVERNOR kIBBEY
Confirmed Drunkard Took Mo Kama Liquor Cure and
 Won His Freedom.

On October 23. 1906, Governor Kib- bey issued pardon 10 Ramon Ascota, an inmate of the county jail of Mari copa county. The circumstances were unique Acosta is a shoemaker, and for years has been conducting little shop in Phoenix when he was sober. But the liquor habit grew on him and he was repeatedly arrested and fined.
 The climax came when, on the 18th of October, Justice Burnett sentenced him to twenty days in jail It so chanced that five days later there was established in Phoenix sanitari- um of the McKanna 3-Day Liquor Cure.
 The McKanna company offered to treat Acosta free of charge if Cover nor Kibbey would pardon him, the man having large family of destitute children. The governor agreed to do so if Justice Burnett would recom- mend it. The treatment was begun and three days later Judge Burnett made the recommendation and Gov ernor Kibbey issued the pardon. This was more than five months ago and to this good hour Acosta has not taken another drink, but has been making an honest living for his family.
 A permanent office of the McKanna Liquor Cure has just been established in Bisbee, with Charles G. Fuller in charge. Mir. Fuller has every conyen- fence, including electric baths, for scientific treatment of all cases of alcoholism. Office, Room i, Letson block, Main street Mir. Fuller is a graduate nurse and masseur and has had extensive experience in the liquor cure work in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Phone 3S3.

Navajo County Pays Annually a Neat Sum for the Destruction
 of Its Wild Animals

"Yes." remarked Mir. McAllis- ter, Clerk of the Board of Super visors, 1.-The County really pays a man for protecting himself m the matter of paying bountles for wild animals killed, and this seems to be a growing industry in Navajo County as up to date the county has paid to various persons this year as bounties, the sum of $1,7OO, with a big bunch of belts now on hand, awaiting the action of the Board at it's regular quarterly meeting now at hand, that will apprOx1- mately add $500 more to the county disbursements on this ac- count alone"
 The above was in response to query from the ARGUS newsgath- erer as to the number of wild animals killed for which the legal bounty was clair1ed in this cOun- ty during the past year. The genial McAllister further stated that one man alone had present.

PardonS Granted
 by the Governor

Of all the Christmas presents given in this territory, probably none were more appreciated by the recipients than were the four pardOns or paroles that were granted two Apache Indians and two white men on Christmas day by Gov. Kibbey. The four cOnvicts were serving sentences in the territorial prison at Yuma. John G. Sullivan, an Apache h. dian, was sentenced at Prescott November, 1906, to serve three years, convicted of manslaughter. Te SOh Gay was sent from Apa- che County to Yuma to serve five years for assault with intent to commit rape, his time would ex- pire early next year anyhow. Facts that were not ObCa1nable at the time Ot the trial were re- gently laid before the Governor by the trial judge and Supt. Grouse, of Whiteriver Agency, which indicated circumstances that would warrant clemency. |. c. Harrer was convicted at Phoenix of the crime of forgery to serve IS months from Sept, 1906. With his credits for good behavior his time would expire within a few weeks and as he had destitute family he was granted an unconditional pardon as were the two Apache Indians. The case of Jerry Sheehy, a cow boy who killed cattleman named Harrison in Santa Cruz County, was tried in Tucson on change of venue, by Judge Davis. Sheehy was convicted of man. slaughter and sentenced to serve nine years from Oct, 1904. An application for pardon has been pending for two years. The crime was almost what might be call ed an accident as the result of a feuG ot long standing, as near lv the entire county was aligned on one side or the other The terms of the parole were made rigid and are as follows:
 During the remainder of the term of the sentence he shall con- duct himself in a proper and law ful manner. He shall avoid all persons With whom he has not been on good terms personally and If he meets them unavOidab- ly he shall refrain from prOvOk- ing them. He shall refrain from intoxicating liquors and from all forms of gambling and bearing in mind that he is a prisoner on parole and subject to be returned

The Masquerade

It was truly a cosmopolitan assemblage that gathered at the hall for the masquerade last Wednesday evening. Proud beauties of the French court, Spanish noblemen, Colonial dig nitaries, cOwgirls of the plains, queens of nobilities of different countries, monks with their son. bre garb, the German baron, the gay flower girl, the Yellow Kid and the jester all were there, and more too. Apparently everyone went there with the intention of having a good time and that they succeeded there IS no ques- ton. The Winslow caterer from whom the committee had order ed the lunch failed to make con- nectiOn with the train, greatly to the disappointment of the lat ter, but no one else seemed to mind it in the least and good naturedly disposed of the hastily prepared luncheon that was ob- tained at the last moment in lieu of the elaborate luncheon that had been ordered from the cater CT.
