OPERATING
IN DISTRICT
Holds Up Same Chinese Twice
Within Three WeekS-Prob-
able That He Win Be Taken
Into Custody.

Somewhere in the Warren Districs
there is an individual whoseemingly
considers it his duty ito hold up a
certain Chinese on the public hign-
way every time he thinks the celestial
has money on his person and relieve
him Of it. Up to the present time
this individual has done the same
thing twice within a pe-oid of three
weeks, and although still at large
It is probable he will be taken into
custody today.
Wuag Chang, who runs a true.
garden in the San Pedro Valley in the
vicinity OF Lewis Springs with his
partner, arrived in the city on Satur-
day by way of Tombstone Canyon.
and after disposing of his produce
started on the homeward trip Sunday
afternoon in his wagon.
When he reached point on the
road where an old timer named
"Dick" Lockett lives, the wife of the
latter, he stated, told him to be
careful, that bad man had ridden
down ahead. The Chinese thought
little of the matter and went on I'M
til he reached the opening of the can
yon, about a mile distant from the
Bisbae Extension mining property. A
man with his face masked suddenly
stepped into the road and commanded
the Chinese to throwrup their hands.
He climbed on the wagon and search
ed them, securing s14 from one, and
STATS from the other Not satisfied
with his loot he came to the U01cIu-
ct 40 Fhn 0n1ncffn1c had
money hidden in the wagon, and
proceeded to examine all of the pro-
duce sacks, but found nothing. Turn
ing on his victims with an oath he
told them that they had better have
more money the next time, or they
would be killed. He said he had a
wife and FIVE children to support. lie
then told the Chinese not to reItr Ia
to Bisboe under pain of death, and
backed off into the brush, where he
secured his horse, and rode towards
the city. s - --
The Chinese Immediately drove to
the Bisbee Extension, where they told
their experience. and a possee was
made up. The trail of the highway
man was followed into the city.
The local officers Immediately start
ed to work on the case, but although
they discovered a couple of valuable
clues no one has been arrested up
TO the present time Fortunately for
the community the highwayman al
lowed his mask to slip from his face
Sunday and the Chinese would know
linn i they see him again.
About three weeks ago Wung
Chang was held UP at a roint on the
Tombstone Canyon road, a short dis
lance past the divide and forced to
give up $50 in money as well as a
silver watch. The peculiar part OF
the affair is that the celestial is posi-
tive the same man did both jobs.
The taking of the silver watch from
the Chinese at the first hold-up will
probably prove to be the ribber,s I'M
doing, as when he was drinking he
pawned the time piece in the city. and
the police have simply been waiting
for additional evidence before arrest
ing him for the crime.
Following is the description nof the
highwayman as given by tae Chinese;
a man about go years OF age; ne
dunn height and weight; with 2 dark
moustache, and wearing dark clothes.
He. was mounted on bay horse.

FACTS SURROUNDING
DEATH OF GARRETT
Eye Witness Tells of the Killing
of the Well Known
Character.

In the FL Paso Times OF yesterday
morning the following particulars OF
the killing of Pat Garrett appeared
being Nsent to that paper from Las
Cruces. near where the killing &C.
Cured:
a coroner's jury that viewed the
remains has returned a verdict that
Garrett came to his death as the re-
suit of pistol shot wounds inflicted
by Brazle. The accused has tele-
graphed to Judge A B. Fall at El
Paso, asking that lawyer to defend
him. .s
There was one eye witness to the
killing, Carl Adamson of Roswell. Sen
timent here is divided, some believ-
ing that the killing was done in self
defense, and others that Garrett was
the victim of a conspiracy.
1T is said that Garrett six months
ago leased for a term of five years a
ranch to Wayne Brazle and A. P.
Rhodes. On this property they placed
a herd of sheep, and a few days ago,
entered into an agreement with J. ?.
Turner of Fort Worth and Carl Adam
son of Roswell to sublet the property
to them. They also agreed, it is said,
TO sell these men their sheep. Garrett
is said to have objected to this agree
ment, stating that he believed Brazle
had forfeited his lease, and declaring
MS intention of resorting to the
courts to establish his rights:

TO SUBSCRIBERS

The famous order of the
Postofice Department, requir.
ing that the second class or
pound rate shall not apply to
newspapers or periodicals
mailed to subscribers who are
in arrears, is now in effect.
The order was aimed at the
cheap weekly and monthly
mail order journals, but it has
aroused a storm of protest
from publishers of country
weekIies and small newspapers
in all sections of the country.
Subscriptions to daily papers,
under this rule, must be paid
within three months to
monthlies, within four months,
and to weeklies, within a year.

Fatal To Mining Applicants

Under peculiar rights they have delegated to themselves the
Agriculture and Interior departments have usurped from Congress
the right to legislate that mining land on forest reserves shall not
be located, except under such exactng rules made in defiance OF law
as the Land Department has named and shall name. The rules are
SO exacting as to defeat mining location entirely, says the Tonopah
Sun.
The department withholds from location all lands that 1T finds
under the closest scrutiny Of its officers to not be paying mines from
the start The courts have decided, and it is a matter of common
sense, that a prospector is entitled to locate land upon which he
finds a lode in place, provided he finds mineral sufficient to justify
him in working further with the hope of such mineral proving to
exist there in paying quantities. By doing $500 worth of such work
he is entitled to a patent for his claim, even though he may not have
yet found a paying mine.
But the Land Department sends its officers to the ground
making the most rigid tests, and if the mine is not found to be a
paying one then and there, the application is rejected. This is a
mere assumption of the legislative power by the executive branch of
the Government, which acts much to the detriment of the mining
industry. Under the law a miner is entitled to ground with mineral
in place whether on a forest reserve or not, and if there is any
justice in the courts this department law-making will be stopped the
first time a case comes up for trial.

Nevadan' $ Nerve Brought Sudden Fortune

A recent Reno, Nevada, dispatch says: W. A Wolf, a young
mining man of Nevada, arrived in Reno Wednesday and told an
interesting story of how E. s. Chafey, after whom the Chafey mining
camp, in Humboldt County, is named, secured possession Of the
Chafey mine, one of the richest in Nevada at the present time.
He states that Chafey went broke in Goldfeld, and that he
went to Winnemucca, intending to prospect in Humboldt County.
He arrived in Winnemucca with 81, and knowing that he might as
we'll be broke as have only a dollar he threw the dollar on to a
roulette table. In two rolls he won $50. He went directly to
Dunn Glen, secured an option on the old Dunn Glen mine, now
known as the Chafey mine, and returning to Winnemucca employed
two men to go out and work il, representing that he was well fixed.
The miners struck a rich ledge, and the first month he owned the
mine Chafey shipped ore that netted him 100000.
