SMOOTH ROBBER WAS
 CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Alberto Arviso Had Established Him self as Silent Partner in tho New York Store.

Through the clever work of the police Alberto Arviso Is now in the city jail pending a further investiga- ton of an attempted robbery of the New York store on Saturday night in connection with which he was appre- hended. For a long time it has been apparent that some one was carrying goods out of the store during business hours. and Arviso has been suspect ed. though it was believed his pilfer- ings were rather on the sneak thief order. There is now a certain know ledge of his guilt to some extent and the probability that his operations have been on d larger scale than was previously supposed
 Arviso is a member of d greatly respected Mexican family of this city and was formerly an emplOye of the New York store. two facts which gave him opportunity for a wider liberty in that establishment than some oth- CT person with the same motive might have had. His visits to the store be-

came so frequent that they were mo- son that there seemed to be no oc- casjon for them. He seemed to be running good fellowship into the ground and as little articles were oft. en missed soon after his departure suspicion fell upon him.
 Proprietor Korrick finally imparted his suspicious to the police who were informed that he was almost sure to be there on Saturday night when the store keeps open until 9 o'clock. Off, cer Troutman was detailed to see what he could do and sauntered into the store where he saw the young man and was informed that he had been lettering around the establish ment sometime, up stairs and down stairs. The officer apparently paying no attention to Arviso ana left and going round to the alley secreted him. self just inside the big alley fence from which point of observation he could follow the movements of Ar viso. Presently the officer heard the squeaking of a pulley suspended from crane, which contrivance is used for raising and lowering on the out side, goods kept on the second floor. About the same time Arviso, who had been up stairs, stepped into the court yard in the rear of the store and go- ing back toward the fence recognized man there. Whether he knew it was the officer or not was not learned but the fact that it was anybody was sufficient and without further cere- mony Arviso reentered the store and left by the front door.
 Approaching the device which is operated by a pulley the officer found it weighted down with bolts of mus lins and other piece goods, and a quantity of spool cotton in boxes. al- together a consignment of considerable value, which was no doubt intended for removal over the back fence a little later in the night. During the evening Arviso was located on the street and taken into custody.

varying scenes he dwelt for a time under almost every possible influence of pioneer life. Yielding eventually to strong drink, there came a time when good men passed him by. and he grow eled in the veritable Desponds that enmesh the victims of appetite, more seductively on the frontier perhaps, than elsewhere. But there came an other time the advent of the Salvation Army in this city and it was the day of deliverance for Monte" who ac- quired that suggestive appellation in his registering days. the days when every frontiersman had a suggestive nickname It chung to- him until the end, and to most people he had no oth- CT name, nor did it seem to differ. He could not have changed it If he would and those who knew him long ago for got it's undesirable suggestion. Soon after the advent of the Army. Mont became interested, and ere lo.g con- verted. Scoffers laughed, as they are wont to do, and predicted his early fall as is so often the case, but as the years rolled by and he proved faith ful to his vows, scoffing charged to regard. yes more, to the helping word and ofttimes the helping hand. He died victorious in as fierce a fight as man ever waged against an evil appe- tite. and today there are none who know him. so poor as to refuse to do him reverence. And in his passing, faithful to the end. after many years of service, the Salvation Army may claim the laurel wreath he has ex- changed for the crown. Monte" was plucked from a depth the church could not reach albeit both are manifesto tions of the same power. and even though no other life be made better. the Phoenix corps has not been main tained without profit.
 There are doubtless many in the community who know something of the details of Monte's career. But he was always a laborer. one whose activities concerned few beside himself. and few there were who claimed even curious interest in his affairs. About all that is known generally in the community concerning him. Is that he came west across the plains with a bull team way. back in the days of trouble, probably in the sixties and it is understood he went on to California. In any event he landed in Phoenix twenty-five. perhaps thirty-five years ago. He was em- ployed variously as freighter. farm hand, laborer on the ditches or wher ever opportunity cnticed the men of muscle and willingness in his sober moments. and always his reputation has been that of a faithful employe a hard worker. an honest man and a true friend. His lapses were those of a mastering appetite for liquor. until he came under the influence of the Saliva tion Army perhaps a decade ago.
 Since then, the barracks has been to him. church, home and family circle. He had no family and in his later years he lived to take care of himself and do good to others. He did both. Never has he failed to be seen in the daily street meeting except when em- ployed in the country. and unable to attend and often has his voice been raised on the street corner in thanks giving for his own regeneration and in earnest appeals to others of his for mer friends and consorts to seek with him a better way of living.

 The above paragraph carries the chief news facts of the inciCient with the exception of one, and that one will awaken in the minds of many of the older residents, memories of hundred events in pioneer life. all of which were interesting and many of them inn important. William Doherty was prac- tically unknown in Phoenix. but Monte" has been a familiar spirit on the city streets since the town was first laid out and his life story is an unwritten book of sermons. He lived in the shading lights of the star of em- pire as it moved westward from the Missouri river to the coast and in the

TWO CHA CONpICTS
 ONE GOES FOR LIFE
A Negro Who Made too Sure of His
 Safety From Attack.

Deputy Sheriff Voris of Gila county on his way from Yuma where he had taken two conyicts, one of them a. life man and the other sentenced to ten year term. The man whose residence in Yoma will be more or less perma- nent is Wesley Burgess. colored, who killed a Mexican under a misappre- hension that the Mexican had murder ous designs against him. Burgess had borne previously a fair reputation for peace and quietness. The Mexican. who lived near. had had some trouble with him and when Burgess saw him pass back and forth in front of his house couple of times one night he seized a shot gun, followed and killed him.
 The other man was Henry Buckner. who last fell shot MT. James. the head of the electric light works at Globe. rhe shooting took place one night af- ter dark. James was going along the street, when a man on horseback rode up to him and fired, the ball entering his abdomen. For a long time the wound was believed to be fatal but he subsequently, recovered.
 Buckner was not positively recogniz- ed at the time. but he had threatened the life of James, in a quarrel which grew out of their joint ownership of some mining claims. A posse hunted for Buckner that night at a nearby camp but while the search was going on he suddenly appeared in town and appeared to be surprised when he learned of the shooting of James. He later pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon.

Gov. Hughes as a Preacher.

We referred editorially last week to
the sermon which William J. Bryan
preached the Sunday before at a Young
Mems Christian association meeting in
Springfield, Mass. Gov. Hughes Of New
York is also a good preacher. Last Sun
day evening he gave an address on need
ed reform in the state government OF
New York at the closing session for this
year OF the Peoples Institute held in
Cooper Union. New York city. This
short extract seems to us to cover very
completely the whole groundwork Of civic
and individual righteousness:
Underlying all other needs is the culti-
walton of individual strength of char
acter, of self-respect and Of the sense OF
personal honor. You do not make man
n better man by putting him in the en-
ploy of the state. Nor is the fellow who
criticises everybody else, but is quietly
looking out for a chance to get little
graft himself, the sort OF man who will
improve the public service. The en-
ployer who will oppress his men and treat
them unfairly will oppress the people If
he gets a chance. And the employe who
sentative Of a union who will betray 1t
for his own advantage, will cheat and be-
tray the pubnc If he is put in office.
1.-THE man who thinks that the first OBJ
ject in life is to serve himself, and who
thinks that the American idea is "every
man for himself and the devil take the
hndermost" win never be a faithful SER
want for the people. So that 1t is In the
schools and the settlements, in the vari-
Gus institutions and organizations where
men and women, boys and girls are taught
to be square, and that there are limits
which personal honor and the sense Of
right and justice win not permit to be ex-
ceeded, no matter what selfish advantage
is to be gained, and that there are public
rights and the interests of the community
which are above all mere individual con-
siderations, that we find the security for
good government and the prosperity Of
the people And / make no apology for
adding on this evening, and before this
audience, that I believe most strongly in
the cultivation of the religious principle
and Of the faith in the supremacy Of the
power that makes for righteousness, upon
which all else that I have spoken Of is
based"

The Rutland Herald OF yesterday con-
famed an extended statement concerning
the suit brought by Senator Proctor and
II. r. Morse asking for an order appoint
ing a receiver of the Herald & Globe as
sociation. The Herald printed in parallel
columns the charges OF the complaints
and Its own answers. The matter OF main
public interest was in regard to the al
legation that in his campaigns for the
goVernorship OF Vermont Mr.. Clement
caused the associate to send out a large
number Of its papers free to voters, and
chat the association was never adequately
compensated therefor The Herald's
statement is that in 1902 Mr.. Clement paid
SSl76.21 for papers. on which there was a
profit OF at least $1,000 and in the cam
paign of 1906 a similar payment OF
S72lOSO was made, with a profit of at least
$1,000.

viii Recover Much Prlzed War Relic.

Through a news item H. C. Rogers, of
Walpole, N. H., will recover a much
priced war medal which he lost forty-four
year ago The newspapers told Of the
finding in Rutland April % by Michael
Cain of a large bronze medal which bore
on one side the inscription III. c. Rogers,
Company l. Second Regiment, Vermont
Volunteers, Mount Holly" The medal
was turned over 70 Superintendent D. L.
Morgan of the house of correction. Tues
day morning Mr.. Morgan received a letter
from Mr.. Rogers at Walpole saying that
he lost the medal in Mount Holly in 1868
and had long since given up hope Of
ever seeing 1t again

1t is due all the persons in interest to
say that there was no intention on the
part of anyone to treat Mr.. Duggan un-
fairly or to give Mr.. Eckels any advan-
tage over him at the coming village cleo
tion. The facts in brief are these: On
Wednesday evening OF last week Mr..
Perry, the village clerk was informed
that objection would probably be made to
putting the names of Mr.. Eckels and Mr..
DugGan on the bailins' ticket because
there were not sufficient names on their
nomination papers. Early Thursday
morning. after finishing his nights work
at the bank and before going home, he
went TO Mr.. Schwenk's house and inform
ed him OF this fact, telling him that there
were only seven names on each nomina-
tion paper. Mr. Schwenk told Mr.. Perry
that he thought there should be at least
a names to comply with the present law
and further said that he thought the
right thing to do was for him. Mr.. Perry
promptly TO notify both Mr.. Eckels and
Mr.. Duggan Of the fact. Mr.. Perry re-
piled that he could see Mr. Eckels on his
way home but would not have time to
call personally on Mr. Duggan, but would
write him letter. He notified Mr.. Eckels
personally, but, lacking his nights sleep
and being unusually busy, he neglected to
give Mr.. Duggan the notice by letter as
he had intended to do. Out OF this fact
grew the whole misunderstanding. Mr..
Perry's failure to notify Mr.. Duggan
was wholly unintentional. There was no
attempt on the part of Mr.. Eckels or any
of his friends, or of Mr.. Schwenk or Mr..
Perry to give Mr.. Eckels any advantage
over Mr. Duggan or to put Mr.. Duggan
at a disadvantage in any respect. Many
unfounded rumors are afioat, and this
statement is made to correct the mis-
understanding which has arisen, and with
the approval and by the request of Mr..
Eckes, Mr. Schwenk and Mr.. Perry.
