Charles By, Escaped Convict.

Charles By, who has resided in Mo-
 have county the past ten years, was
 taken prisoner by Lieutenant Olds, oi the Arizona Rangers, last Saturday morning, at Nelson, on a warrant from New Mexico, on the charge of being a ! fugitive from justice. Bly's real name is Frank Sherlock, and he was sen- fenced to four years in the New Mexi- co penitentiary for horse stealing, twelve years ago. He served nearly two years of the sentence and then one | day rode away from that institution on horse belonging to the warden of the pen. It would appear that he came direct to Mohave county. Bly was a deputy under sheriff Lovin for several years, and was noted as one of the best trailers in the territory. At the time of the pursuit of James McKenny he was one of Sheriff Lovins posse. He kept small trading store at Peach Springs and worked on the neighbor- ing cattle ranges. Since coming to this county he appeared to be hard working fellow, but made few friends, there being something about the man that repelled the people with whom he came in contact.
 Lieut.. Olds turned By, or rather, Sherlock, over to the officers of New Mexico and he was taken back to con- plete his term in the pen institution of that territory. It is said that con- vict serving time with Sherlock gave him away to the officers, although he is man that could never hide his identity on account of cast in one eye and other marked characteristics.
 Sherlock had been living with a woman named Mrs. Palmer the past two years and when he told her he had to leave her the woman said: "Go, if you are coward enough to let them take you."
 It is thought that Bly's life since i escaping from the prison will mitigate his offence and that an effort will be made to secure for him pardon.

 It was ormshy's painting that had i particularly captiNated Shirley. She had returned to if day after day. and the thought that Armitage had taken | advantage of her deep intsres; ia Pick. | etts charging gray line WAS annoying. and she abruptly changed the subject.

 The sweat had broken out on Cbau- venets face, and he leaped to the chair where his coat hung and caught up the garment with shaking hands. The silk lining huttered loose where Armitage had roughly torn out the envelope.
 "Who Is he? Who is hef'' whispered Durand, very white of face.

 My dear Jules, you act as though you had seen ghost. Who the devil is Armitage?"

 Chauvenet again struck the table smartly
 "Of course he would see Strobell Strobel was the archduke's friend. Stroebel and this fellow between them
