Governor Kibbey went to Florence yesterday morning. where he joined Auditor Page. J. J. Riggs. Architect Frost and Superintendent Thos. Ryn- ming of the territorial prison, who had gone there the day before. As previ- ously announced the purpose of the visit was to look over the sites of the proposed new territorial prison and the proposed bridge across the Gila river. both of which constructions were au- thorized by the last legislature.
 Governor Kibbey said last night that the prison site seemed to be one well fitted for prison purposes and he be- lieves it will give general satisfaction. The building site is about three fourths of a mile southeast of the Florence court house. so it will be practically in the suburbs of the town. and coavient for all business purposes. while the location seems to be a healthful and altogether desirable one. Asked regarding the plans and the probable beginning of construction, he

Hard Luck Experience of a County Jail CiIettante Who Dwells in the Realm of Sentimentality.

Antonio is a Mex ican. a poet, an artist of some attain ment and a sentimentalist of large calibre.

FAME OF PHOENIX
 AS LOTTERY CENIER
Story that Shrewd Gamblers are Skin hing the Coast People with Phoenix as Headquarters.

The following item, taken from the Los Angeles Times. will be read with some surprise and a great deal of | curiosity. by Phoenix people. An effort was made yesterday. to add a little something to the information from To-
 cal sources, but nothing specific could be learned. About the only person who
 might be expected to have inside in- formation would be the postmaster. He was asked regarding the matter and said it was a question regarding which he could say nothing. though
 under questioning he admitted there
 was some color of truth in the story The Times says:
 In an effort to evadc Federal sta tutes which forbid an interstate busi-
 ness in selling lottery tickets. mush- room lotteries are springing up in this city and coast towns that are victimiz- inG thousands. Secret service agents
 who have Investigated number of | these enterprises say:

LOOKED LIKE A PAINTER
 AND GOT THt MONEY
E. R. Moor Realizes on Forged Check at the Hoffman.

Another check artist has to some extent depleted the town. His name. SO far as is known. is r. R. Moor. and he had the appearance of being a painter as he pretended 10 be He presented a check at the Hoffman about ten o'clock on Wednesday night and received the cash for it. The signature of H. I. Latham was appended to it. and it was drawn on the National Bank of Arizona for 17.50. Moor said that he had been doing some painting and dec orating for MT. Latham and he was dressed somewhat like a painter in fatigue uniform. That is. he had a pair of blue overallS drawn over a pair of dark trousers which showed above the waistband. He otherwise looked like a craftsman rather than a t1-afty man and his story that he need ed little ready money that night was readily believed.
 The check was presented at the bank yesterday morning. hut it drew only the information that MT. Latham had never been a patron of that financial institJtion. No expert opinion was ventured as the genuineness of the signature.
 The next inquiry was naturally made at the office of Mir. Latham who was absent, but the cashier said that MT Latham's business had always been done at some other bank. and further more. that that signature would be worthless at any bank where the real signature was known. even pre-sup- posing the paying teller to be a blind man.
 Then a hunt for Moor began to be instituted and the matter was referred to the office of the sheriff and Justice JOhnstone. Moor is described as a man of thirty: five feet. seven; weight. 1i0 pounds. These figures are under stood to bc approximate, as the Der tillon system of measurement was not applied at tho Hoffman previous to caShing the check. Moor is otherwise described as well built. of dark com plexion. wearing dark coat. a black fedora hat and tho aforementioned blue overaIls when last seen.

AM ARTlsT FINEp-Instice KrI

AN ARTIST FINED-Justice Kyle yesterday had before him Marcel Gar cia on a third and graver charge than any previous. The offenses of Garcia are piiing up so that he is not likely to get out of limbo for some time He was first arrested by the city police on the charge Of being drunk and dis orderly. After his sentence was laid out in durance vile he was transferred to the county court house cellar and was yesterday to have been arraigned for embedding the sum of S5 from a friend. During his time in jail how ever. there were discovered about his person several drawings of an ob- scene nature which he had been ex- hibiting around when the officers were not looking. Garcia denied illustra- tive talent and did not wish to win fame through the meritorious and mo- torious achievements of another. He claimed that he had found the pro ducts of art. He was tried before Justice Kyle and given seven days in jail. Had the justice been confident that he was the original artist he would have sent him over for 2j days Garcia will be arraigned today at 10 o'clock on the embezzlement charge.

weeds and shortly after emerged again with bundle of clothing in his \ hands. and hastened east in the Hen shaw road, on foot. The informant had recovered the suit case andbrought il to the magistrate.
 Constable Murphy got description of him and went in pursuit on his bi- ! cycle. He went as far east on the Henshaw road as the park road, then turned north and at the first corner south of the park. met a Mexican who said he had just seen a man answering the description. going cross-lots back toward the Henshaw road again. bear 1 ing to the east. Pursuing the fugitive he came up with him about four miles southeast of town, where he had met another Mexican with whom he was in conversation. The officer brought him and his bundle back to jail. The man practically admitted his guilt and the owner of the clothes identified them as having been taken from the suit case. He will be given trial early this morning so MT. Anthony can make another start for Mesa City without unnecessary loss of time.
 Antonio when he committed the theft had selected the newest and best look ing of the two suit cases. IL was un- locked and held together only by the clasps. However he lost no time in in vestigation, but tore the hasp of the lock off the suit case. thus damaging it somewhat, rather than to go to the trouble of opening 1t regularly. IL contained only the owners working clothes, some minor personal effects and some music which the owner valu- ed highly. The other and less valu- able suit case contained a valuable as- sortment of tools. a flute valued at $50. and some other effects. altogether sufficient to make a plain case of grand larceny had it been taken.
 Antonio made no protest to giving up the stolen goods but he rather ob- jected to being despoiled of his person. al effects which included three letters. all on sheriff's office stationery Two of them were sealed and addressed to two different senoritas The other contained couple of sheets of Sheriff Hayden's paper. covered with art work and poetry and doubtless the sealed letters are burdened with even warmer sentimentality. One sheet on one side had the picture of a mermaid. a part of the figure being on a folded page Opening it there was merely the bust Of a handsome woman on a pedestal. Opening another mage displayed scroll and flowers and all sorts of fancy pen cil sketches. together with poetical quotations either original or appropri ated. designed to melt the heart of some fair damsel who was the inspira- ton of his work. But Antonio as a sneak thief is not a brilliant success and should still be considered anna teurish and inartistiC.

said the plans which thus far are only rough drawings. are very satisfactory and have been informally accepted. They are practically as described in these columns in detail a few weeks ago. The architect will at once pre- pare careful plans and furnish such in- formation and data as will be neces- sary in advertising for bids for prison construction. This will be done as quickly as possible and the work of construction will be undertaken just as soon as these preliminaries can be attended to.

Why Host
 My Job.
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
 Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

"i believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who l daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envel- oue comes along, it is usually Your services no longer required" 1T the truth were known. the reason for their uncermc nious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry. bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things. as we all know. are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of d headache In this quick age our minds must be clear. rapid. active and free from outside in- fluence. or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of "floaters' who go from one place of employment to another. giving no satisfaction to others or to themselves. constantly growing older and less useful, with no ambition, no will power and no hope.
 Every man reqnres from every oth- CT man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispOsitions and worries.
 That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why I lost my job My stomach in the first place was all ways out of order, and twas worrying about it and my mind grew cloudy. and slow. I made mistakes. and grew grouchy. That was the end.
 There are thousands like me. going about with quick lunch" faces, dys- peptic manners and repulsive atmos- pheres. No employer wants such mems service.
 Take my advice. healthy stomach is half the battle, for it keeps your mind clear. and your face rosy. I have a healthy stomach now and hold good position, and my employer is satisfied and so am I.
