of value and disposed of them. The rooms that were locked up were broken into and burglarized. A phonograph and couple of shot guns were taken from the Monte Carlo saloon yesterday, having been claimed by Mir. Hunter as his property. One of the shotguns had been disposed of at that place by the man who gave the name of Johnson and the other articles had been pawned by Armstrong.
 Armstrong will be prosecuted on a charge of burglary. being charged with breaking into the rooms that had been locked by Mir. Hunter before his departure for Sonora. If Johnson" is not convicted on the forgery charge in Cochise county, the officers of that county will be asked to return him to No- gales for trial on the burglary charge, as the evidence obtained since he was turned over to the Cochise county officers, to the effect that he sold one of the shot, guns, contraIicts the statement of Armstrong insofar as Johnson is concerned.
 Two of the men released are said  to be young men of Nogales, but their names have not been made public by the officers. Ii further investigation of the case warrants such a proceeding, they may be rearrested later. Armstrong's as serted belief that Mir. Hunter will not prosecute him Is apparently doomed to be terribly shattered. Mir. Hunter has "blood in both eyes," and the man he trasted has before him a very simple example in division. By dividing l3S by 6 he can probably ascertain where he is at.

"More Money than Tucson.

At Hermosillo the project for recreation park and base ball ground is progressing finely, and the success of the enterprise is fully assured. Without any effort whatever there have been raised nearly $5,000 toward erecting the necessary buildings, walls. etc., and the full sum required ($10,000) the managers feel will be forth coming speedily when wanted. Work of prepartion of the ground will begin shortly.
 While dwelling upon this sub- ject it might be of some interest to contractors for masonry work read ing THE OASIS, to note that there will be quite a contract let for building an adobe wall around the grounds. It will be 1000 feet long, ten feet high and twenty-eight inches wide. Good work is want ed, and it must be done on con- tract time. The right kind of q man applying can secure good contract Those disposed to in- quire into the matter should ad- dress MT. Harry J. Smith, care of the Banco de Sonora, Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico,
 In Hermosillo there is a great deal of base ball talent, and many ardent and enthusiastic packers of the popular sport. When the ground Is completed, which will be early next fall, there will be ar ranged a series of tournaments wherein will be invited the play of clubs from afar-j just as far as they will come-from Guaymas, Nogal- es, Tucson, Cananea, Fl Paso, etc. :; and some great games are antici pated. Already are some of the fans" abroad scenting the fray from afar. and preparing to get in to it. Not long ago one of the prominent gentlemen in Hermo- sillo baseball circles received from Tucson a letter of inquiry upon the subject, which said letter closed with the significant question: "Is there any money in Hermosillo?" To which reply was returned instanter: There Is more money in Hermosillo than there is in Tue son; come on."

Extradited.

Last Saturday night there was brought from Tucson. en route to Hermosillo, where he is lodged n the penitentiary, Julio Pima, one of those arrested at Nogales some time ago by the United States officials, upon complaint of the Mexican government, for alleged complicity in the frauds perpetrat- ed upon the revenue of the repub- lie at Nogales, Sonora. It will be remembered that at the time of hearing in the United States court at Tucson Mir. Pifia waived extrad- ition, electing to go to Mexico and stand trial in the courts there. His deportation a week ago, was in ac- cordance with that waiver. Mir. Eduardo Ramirez, another of the accused, made a fight in the United States court against extradition.

Father Duval Meets with Accident.

Rev. Father Louis Duval re- turned Tuesday night from ten day stay at Tombstone. and is now carrying his left arm in a sling, one of the bones being broken at the elbow. The accident occurred Sunday, May ,, while the reverend gentleman was about to enter the church at Tombstone to celebrate mass. While walking toward the church he turned to watch some small boys playing in the church yard and stumbled, falling heavily upon his arm. Believing the arm to be only sprained he went on with his services and later had the injury attended to by doctor at Tombstone. The arm continued to trouble him and on arriving in Nogales ten days after the accident, called upon Doctor Gustetter, who immediately informed him that the arm was broken. With the assistance of an X-ray the fracture was located and reduced.

MR. HUNTERS
 HOME ROBBED
And City Marshal Moore "Surrounds" Five Burglars Single Handed and Bags the Whole Bunch.

Holding up five men single handed was the experience of City Marshal J. Butler Moore of Noga- les last Sunday night. The men were arrested on a charge of burglarizing the home of Mir. J. $. Hunter, who was absent from the city.
 It was at a late hour Sunday night that Marshal Moore had his attention attracted by the five men, IS they were walking out the gate way at the Hunter residence, one If them carrying bundle. Step ping up to the men in the darkness the officer clicked his Colts and at the same time ordered all hands heavenward. Five pairs of hands were promptly raised. A young man who passed by was asked to 20 down town and look around for other officers. The messenger met Rangers Jeff Kidder and John Clark, who had just arrived from Naco, and who went to the mar shal's assistance. When they ar rived the five men were still lined ID before the marshal's revolver, with hands held high above their heads, while MT. Thomas Paschal, who arrived on the scene just ahead of the rangers and had been pressed into service, was searching the prisoners for weapons. All five were marched to the county lail. At the iail one of the men, Dan Armstrong by name, stated that he had been left in charge of the house during the absence of Mr. Hunter and had invited the others up to have time. He said he was re. sponsible for the stolen goods and made a written statement to that effect, exonerating the others, three of whom were released. One man, who gave his name as Johnson. answered the description of a man wanted at Tombstone for forgery He was held and was later turned over to the Tombstone officers and Is now in the Cochise county lail Armstrong expressed the belief that Mir. Hunter would go his bond for any amount.
 Thursday Mir. Hunter arrived from Sonora, having been notified of the robbery, and when he enter cd his home he could not find clothes enough to "dress up," as he expressed it. Besides his clothes there were missing two shot guns a photograph valued at $75 and numerous other articles, while about the house were strewn dam aged furniture and empty wine bottles.
 When Mir. Hunter left for Sono. ra two weeks ago, taking Mrs Hunter with him, he left Arm strong at his home. assigning hin to a couple of rooms at the house the other rooms, in which the valuable articles were kept, being locked up. He had known Arm strong in California and believed hlm trustworthy. During hi; absence the man had picked uF with some worthless characters about town, turned the home into barroom and when short o. money had taken different articles

Sonora's Most Distinguished Citize n Greeted by Friends at the States Metropolis.

Just at noon of Thursday the steamer Ramon COrraP bearing as passenger that distinguished citizen of Sonora, the vice presi- dent of the Mexican republic, cast anchor in the harbor of Guaymas; and within a few minutes Mir.

CubiIla5; Mir. Arturo Morales, president of the municipality of Guaymas, and many others. After greetings upon the main deck the distinguished party disembarked into small boats and was rowed ashore amid the shouts of the assembled populace, lining the water front, and a salute from the 'gunboat Democratic, which was stationed near the anchorage of the incoming steamer. The route between the steamer and the boat landing on the water front was marked by two lines of flags, on floats, between which the boat bearing the distinguished party made it's way. The landing was reached quickly, and at the pier Don Ramon was greeted by many friends, to all of whom he ex- tended hearty salutation and pleasant words of recognition.
 A short address of welcome was made by Mr. Aurelio Perez Pefia, editor of "El Imparcial", and then JDOH IedillUti plOCCcuSO bO HIS Q udl ters, passing along Calle Muelle between lines of school children who had been given a holiday and turned out in a body to do honor to the second citizen of the repub- lie.
