 BUT HER DOUGH
kentuckian Sends Inquiry to Phoenix Paper Concerning Advertisement in a Matrimonial Paper--Fail to Find the Heiress.

There is Kentuckian who desires tue Republican to light him along a rather dark and uncertain matrimonial way upon which he has set out under the indefinite direction of some Chicago agency.
 There was received at this office yes terday the following communication:
 Richmond, Ky. Dear Sir:
 While reading the Pilot of Chicago l saw the ad of an heiress stating that she is worth $l20,000. l hope you will make news item of this and ask her to address Box 223, Richmond, Ky.
 Sincerely,
 This matter was turned over to the matrimonial editor of the Republican, who has made a minute search of the town for the heiress, but has so far, not discovered her, though he has not given up hope He is interested in the case not from professional point of view or out of d feeling of sympathy with Box 223, Richmond, Ky. But if he finds the heiress he will endeavor to convince her nat it is wholly unnecessary to convey her wealth to Kentucky or to take it out of the territory.
 Box 223 would have no ground for a breach of promise suit for his note robs him of it at once. He is entirely too guarded. He lays no claim to the heiress by discovery in the Chicago Pi- lot, as he might have done, and so have elinched the whole affair. He manifests little more than q mere curiosity which would not stand for minute in a court of law. It is plain that he wants only that $l20,000 and merely desires to ascertain the char aeter of the ineumbrance that goes with it. The matrimonial editor will find husband for the heiress who will love her for herself alone and donate the sl20,000 to eharity-Republican.

MISSING MINING
 MAN BANKRUPT
Creditors of J. Ernest Walker File Pc tition in Phoenix Court Stating Be lief that Walker Has Absconded- Debts Amount to $500.

~ Petitioh III voluntary bankruptcy
 was filed this morning in the district court by several of the creditors of J. Ernest Walker, whose disappearance from the city has been the topic of much gossip and speculation the past two or three weeks, says the Arizona
 Democrat.
 The creditors signing the petition are the Pratt-Gilmore company, George Haggerman, the plumber; F.. $. Wake lin, and Ezra w. Thayer. The total in debtedness is little over $500.
 The petition sets forth that Walker cannot be found at his place of busi. ness, and that to the best knowledge and belief of the petitioners he has ab- seconded.
 It is further set forth that Walker has assigned his interest in the dredge and other property in the Florence project to his fatherin.law, D. D. Horn. ing.
 Walker, it will be recalled. left Phoenix on the evening of January 3. He bade his wife fond farewell at the depot before departing, and to all whom he left he stated he was going to Los Angeles to recuperate.
 He was seen in Los Angeles on the evening of the Eth, when he was in consultation with Dr. Stewart, we'll. known Los Angeles physician, and to Phoenix acquaintance on that even ing he stated that he was very sick from an attack of heart trouble.
 His continued absence from the city was followed by the departure of the man who has charge of his office here. Mir. White, who after a few days, was joined by D. D. Horning, father-in-law of Walker.
 After n few days, White returned. and shortly thereafter he was followed by Horning, and it was given out by them that they had been able to trace Walker to San Francisco, where they lost all track of him. They gave it out that they knew not where he was, but there was a hint of fear that Walker, suffering from the mental strain connected with his Florence pro. jeet, might have "taken arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end ed them.
 However, it was later reported that Walker had been seen on train go. ing to Fl Paso, and he was quoted by an acquaintance as saying while on board that train that he was going down into Mexico to begin life over again. This report was hardly in eireu. lation, though, before Phoenix party, 1 who knew Walker, saw him on train going from Pasadena to Los Angeles. | That was last Saturday and was the last heard about Walker
 Walkers local interests have been absorbed by the Los Angeles Trust of. which General Nose Sher- man is the head. General sherman, or | the company, was given warranty deed last summer to practically all of | the real estate in the valley in which | Walker was interested, in return for which considerable cash was advanced | to be used in financing the Florence project.
