Haines ]. Again Arrested.

Friday morning, November 81, Sher-
If J. H. Cremer again arrested Haines
at Abba. He was brought to this city
and that afternoon was tried on the
charge of forging and uttering false
script. On the charge Of utteriAg the
script he Was bound over to the grand
jury. Police Judge E. M. Campbell, be-
fore whom the case was tried, holding
that there was no evidence to show
that Haines was guilty Of forging the
script. Jordan and j. A. Pardi, the
manager of the American Seal and
Stamp works, were in Ottumwa as wit
nesses in the case. Haines' bond was
fixed at $780, which was furnished,
and he was released to await the &C
ton Ct the grand jury. His bondsmen
were w. v. Silvers, q. A. Frazier, and
James Peck.
When the grand jury convened for
the October term on Monday, Novem
Der 10, Haines' case was considered
and an indictment against him was re
turned. The indictment, however, was
kept secret, for Haines until this time
confident and serene, had jumped his
bond and was nowhere to be found
Haines had previously shown no signs
of trying to run away. Even after the
charges against him had been dis
missed he did not even go to some 9th
er part Of the country but remained II
this vicinity and even tried to force the
Black Diamond store to redeem the
checks he had.
But he had seen the handwriting OF

| ton of the script. Another lot was
found in bureau drawer, hid under
some clothing. Still another lot, though
small one, was found.
No Dies for Making Coin Discovered.
What disappointed the searchers was
the fact that no dies for making the
spurious script was found Mr.. Phil
| lips claimed that all of, the script found
In the Haines residence was fraudu
lent but SO perfect was the imitation,
he said, that it required a careful ex-
animation to detect the difference. In
the Haines home Mr.. Arnold found the
graphophone that he had sold to Mil
ler,"
Haines was brought to Ottumwa and
had his preliminary hearing and trial
before Justice W. J. Berry. He was
bound over to the grand jury and was
later indicted by that body. He was
released on $500 bond.
But the Black Diamond management
realized that more evidence was re-
quired to convict Haines. They en-
deavored to discover where the spun-
GUS script had been made. Inquiries
were addressed to prominent stamp
and seal manufacturers all over the
United States.
Detectives were secured IN Chicago
and other cities to search through the
records Of express companies to dis.
cover, Il possible, a record Of any ship
ments to Haines.
Case Against HaInes Dismissed.
However, when the case against
Haines was about to come to trial, they
had learned but little more. and the
state dismissed the case. Then it seems
Haines became more bold. He called
at the Arnold music store and demand
ed that Arnold return to him some
Igraphophone records that he had taken
from his house when it was searched
He also went to the Black Diamond
store with an attorney and demanded
that the store redeem several hundred
dollars In the script that he held. While
this part of the story was being enact
ed, Mr.. Phillips, who had quietly gone
to Chicago to look after clue that had
been discovered there, found that
script like that used by the Black Dia-
mond store had been manufactured by
G. H. Hanson. one of the largest seal
and stamp manufacturers in that city.

We are to have an automobile line between Florence and Superior, says the Arizona Blade.

The run from here to superior can be made in an automo- bile in less than half the time it takes a stage coach to make the trip and the saving of time would be iuducement enough Co capture all the passenger traffic, and then who would not prefer riding in an easy riding automobile in preference to a iarring and pumping stage coaehi The auto line win make the round trip daily and this, too, would be convenience to the passengers who are pressed for time The people who are putting this through are already here and the automobile is experteo daily from Los Angeles, from whence 1t was shipped over week ago. The attempt may be made by these people to extend the line to Casa Grande, as il is thought the round trip can be made easily in . day with good roads.

MARKET LOOKS
 A LITTLE TIRED
Calumet & Arizona Declares 80 Guar terly- Whole Market Sells Oil Slight ly at the Close-old Dominion Closes Weak.
lRv l. N. Kinseyl

GLOBE, February S.-The market to- day closed irregularly, generally show ing a slight reaction from the higher prices made early in the day. Calumet X Arizona directors met today and de- elared a quarterly dividend of sj. which caused a sharp rally in the stock to SIPS, but heavy profit taking quickly forced the stock off to s19l.
 The market looked little tired at the close tonight and it is thought we should have weaker market tomorrow. How ever, good rally should take place next week and we look for much higher prices.
 Old Dominion was weaker with the rest of the market and sold down to S56.50 bid at the close, The crosscut on the fourteenth is still in ore.
 Globe Consolidated held at the same price all day. Superior X Boston is in better demand than for some time. Cal umet X Globe is being picked up by those who know the property.

Copper Stronger than Ever

The American, Metal Market says the copper situation is stronger than ever, and producers position is, as before, reported fully sold up to June and be hind/on deliveries. The present high prices and the prospect of higher, and continued scarcity of copper seems to have no effect on the phenomenal devel- opments going on in electricity. Al. most every day the trade is astonished by the statement of some new project which means heavy consumption of copper, and one has to ask himself the question over and over again, if con sumption is to continue as it is, and to be increased by these new projects: ]" Where is the copper to come from?' The item of news today is that the board of directors of the Erie railroad is on the eve of acting on scheme for the identification of it's suburban lines, and on which it is estimated $l2,00,00 will be required
