phoenicians Before Kangaroo Court


 Four Phoenicians were duly hauled be- fore the "kangaroo court' in the coun ii jail here last night and fined what ever amount of loose change they had upon their persons. The prisoners were J. A. c. Martinez, c. H. Valentine, Ed Lightner and Roy Wilson. The charge against them was "coming to the city of Globe with brags about little vii. lage called Phoenix. y Martinez and his friends struck town Saturday even ing, on their way to the White noun tains on hunting trip. They remained in town over Sunday, and were having a great old time calling on their local friends. Martinez finally remembeded the sheriff and left his friends to call at the office, telling them to. join him there little later. He was welcome, all right, but his bragging soon got so strong that Deputy Sheriff Duncan de- cided to lock him up, and Martinez was hustled off to jail. He was no sooner in than the kangaroo court had hold of him and was putting him through the forty-third degree in fine stylc de. spite his protests, Judge Jack Mankin presiding. After while, Lightner call. ed to see why Martinez dallied so long and he was, in turn, chucked behind the bars and face to face with the kangaroo court, of which Martinez, by this time, had become bailitf. Light ner's trial was hardly through before Valentine and Wilson showed up, onC after the other, and into the "can they went. When the "inner court had properly cleaned the quartet oi their small change, they were released the kangaroo court giving them a cer tificate entitling them to free entry to the jail any time during the nex' thirty days" About seven hours anc thirty-six minutes after it shappened Martinez began to see the joke anS laughed heartily.

BunCo Steerers Get
Worst of Bargain

waiter had brought the drinks and
gone out again this chap draws a
twenty-doBar gold piece from his
pocket, but one of the others said it
was too large to be changed in that
little place, that it was forty dollars
Mexican, and that he would pay and
drew out a big roll Of bills. He seemed
surprised, however, to find that a fifty
was the smallest he had, though he
said he had a thousand dollars in his
pocket. and the third man found he
had nothing smaller than a twenty al
so, which l thought was getting to be
a very peculiar state of affairs. One
then proposed to get the dice and box
and shake to see who would get the
change and pay, and he went out and
got them.
I did not like this at all, mind, and
liked it much less when three of the
chaps lined up in front of the big
doors, leaning back in their chairs,
and a fourth seated himself in front OF
a smaller door. l commenced to get
bit eros about it but l thought
might as wei drink my beer and did
SO. Then one proposed that before
deciding who should pay for the round
we shake once for five dollars a cor
ner Then l saw they were trying to
work con game on me for have
travelled little, y know and / did
not know whether to be most angry or
amused l declined to shake with
them and told them must go as was
going to meet some friends at the
bulIfght and was already late for my
appointment. But they said the fight
was postponed, that the animals had
all jumped out of the corral and would
have to be recaptured, so the fight
would not be held till Z o'clock and
then under electric light. That was
too bally raw for me and l insisted on
going. They told me not to be a pix
er and we had some words, for they
seemed cross and was growing cross
er every minute.
At length l rose and walked over
to the door where the one chap was
and tod him / wanted to pass. / did
not like it a bit, for there / was
against four and they were pretty lus-
~ chaps too. / says: Now / have told
you ! have an appointment to meet a

pointment. | am getting very cross
and if YOU do not let me pass | shan

DOUGLAS, July 7.-(Special.)-
H. F. Wadham, the young English
bred gentleman who has travelled much
man who came here on business con-
nected with the purchase of Sonora
mines and who has so quickly made
himself popular in the city, is the hero
of an adventure with bunco steerers
and confidence men at Aqua Prieta
on Saturday in which the blacklegs
came of second best.
Mr.. Wadham is a bright university.
bred gentleman who ha strave'ed much
and is we'll equipped with worldly wis
dom, besides having been an athlete
of ability in his university days, a
great cricket player and the best box
er Of the university, so that the "con"
men picked out Il bad man when they
undertook TO fleece Mr.. Wadham and
showed poor judgment in picking him
out as one Of the unsophisticated.
He thoroughly enjoyed Saturday S
celebration up to the time of his ad-
venture and was eagerly watching
each event. With a party he was at
the drilling contest of which he tired
and decided to go to the bullfght
across the line. He loked for a motor
or rig to take him over and failing to
obtain one decided to walk, others of
the party saying they would follow
later. The rest of the adventure hap
pened something like this as told by
Mr. Wadham in his own inimitable
manner:
We'll, ! walked across the dusty
heath, y know, and just about the
time l was reaching the little village
l met a man and a girl and the man
asked me If l was going to the bull
fight. ! said that / was and he asked
me if would mind explaining some
thing about the methods OF bullfight-
ing to them as they had never seen
one. | saidI was a poor hand to do
that as this would be the first fight l
had seen. So we walked on together,
he doing most of the talking and say
ing he was from France. | replied that
then of course he must know Paris,
but he said that he did not as he
came from the lower part of France;
this made me suspicious, but he
seemed like a nice fellow, y know.
Wei, we came to the village and he
said that he thought drink would be
fine after such a dusty walk across
the heath and asked me to join him
and accepted the invitation though
had me eyes open, y know.
I'VE went to a sort of pub called
the Monte Carlo and just as we were
about to sit down to a table he says.
why there are some old friends of
mine have not seen in weeks: let US
meet them And he proceeded to in
troduce me to three others who were
sitting in an adjoining room and to
order drinks for the party, taking
beer as did the others, When the
