ROBBERS GET
 MONEY AND BEER
BOLD ROBBERY COMMITTED IN
 TUCSON SATURDAY NIGHT ROB TILL AND THEN DEMAND THAT BARTENDER SET FEM UP.

TUCSON, September 9.-Not satisfied with robbing Charles Loebs, a Sixth avenue saloonkeeper, of his receipts, two masked hold-up men demanded that Loebs "set up the beer.n
 As he was gazing into the muzzles of two six-shooters, Loebs promptly complied. The robbery occurred just two minutes before midnight on Sat urday night.
 The robbers secured $2O, but had it not been for the fortunate fact that Loebs had taken away his other cash, they would have secured much larger sum.
 Business on Saturday evening had been rather light, and Loebs decided to close up earlier than usual. He had just counted up his cash when the rob bers entered.
 Both wore masks, and pulling their guns, they invited Loebs to produce his cash. Loebs supposing that some of his friends were playing joke, did not comply.
 NOW get busy ana hand over that coin quick or you will be minus some brains," one of the robbers said.
 Loebs, realizing that it was a real hold-up, promptly compiled, handing over his money sack.
 Now, as we are pretty dry, you may draw some beer for us, the high, wayman added
 lnasmuch as two guns were staring him in the face, Loebs did not hesitate to "do the honors." After having drunk the beer, the robbers slowly back. ed out of the side door and then ran down the street.
 They were joined by a third man who had evidently been a lookout to warn the robbers if any officer ap, preached.

ROb OFFICERS
 IF COMPANION
NAVAJO INDIANS RESCUE ONE OF THEIR NUMBER FROM MARCO PA CoUNTY-WAS ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.

PHOENIX, September 9.-While in Winslow recently, Sheriff Woods got no. tice by an Indian runner that the store of Dick Bruchman, about twelve miles north, had been robbed by an Indian of the Navajo tribe. Bruchman noti. fled the sheriff that he knew just where there Indian was.
 Woods started at once for the scene of the trouble, but when he got to the store, and on going with Bruchman to the Indian camp, it was found that the bird had flown. The sheriff and two In. dians took the trail and followed it for sixty-fve miles.
 It Through mud, rain and darkness there was no shaking the pursuers, and at 10 the next day the Indian was over taken and placed under arrest. The re. turn trip was undertaken at once, but when coming off the mesa about thirty miles from Bruehman s store, band of ten Navajos swept down on the sheriff and his prisoner and surrounded them so suddenly that the sheriff hardly knew what was meant.
 Then four more Indians with four loose horses rode up and demanded the release of the prisoner, saying they wanted to take him to the agency at Leupp. Then they put the prisoner on fresh horse and started away with him.
 As the sheriff was confronted by Overpowering numbers and would have had to kill the leader of the Indians to no good cause, he deemed it better to make a virtue of a necessity and let the Navajos have their way. On arrival at Bruchman s store a letter was sent to the agent at Leupp telling him that the Indian must be given up or the power of the county and territory would be brought into the deal. The Indian agent at once sur rendered the fugitive and sent him un- der guard to Winslow.

OLDEST PRESS
 IN TERRITORY
ANCIENT RELIC OF EARLY DAYS AT REST IN ToMBsToNE-FoR TWENTY YEARS IT CHRoNICLED DOINGs OF THAT CAMP.

TOMBSTONE, September 9.--Per- haps of all subjects ever contemplated by the pioneer or brought to the notice of old time lore mongers, the most su- perb monument remaining to immortal. ize the sacred past, is the homely, the neglected, the dust covered tablet of silent eloquence in the form of an ancient Washington lever press, in the old Eptaph office, now in the posses sion of the Prospeetor.
 This is absolutely the first printing press ever brought to the territory of Arizona. In 1853 this sacred old re- corder of current events was brought around the Horn, it's jealous owners fearing to trust it to the tempestuous jaws of the Straits of Magellan.
 It is numbered 25, an original Wash. ington, and first did duty in the West in Tubac on the Arizonian. Since that
 it has had wild and devious history which can be established along with its record and identity without the loss of link, and today it stands, a species of shrine before which the pioneer in general and the mesquite'' printer in particular, intutively bow in a spirit of indefinable reverence. This silent suggestion of every throb of the mighty west, in contemplation of which we once more see the lurking Apache creep ing among the foothills; see the vast plains undotted by a windmill; see the "misty mountain top' crowned with rainbows see the unscarred valleys with their crysta! waters winding lei surely to the gulf; see the pioneer with the gold pan in his sealy hands, his rifle resting in the forks of the lowly palo verde by his side; hear the echo of the knight of the jerk line as he steers his craft across the desert; smell the perfume of mesquite blossoms, of pine and fir and balsam; see the wild grass waving; see the silver tip am bling laboriously along the precipitous sides of Mount Union; see the unruffled bosom of the Sulphur Springs valley before the whoops of the cowboy ever invaded its solitudes; see the somber gray foothills of the Bonanza circle be- fore George Warren discarded kilts and donned pants; see the tender baby Ger onimo when, under his grandfather s tuition, he made toy bows and arrows with which to shoot eats which his neighbors had fattened for a pot pie and dumplings; see the clipped nose squaw, the one-eyed burro and the elipped-tail mule, essential factors in the primitive development of Arizona; see the slouch-hat soldier, the man with the bull whip, the lynx-eyed scout, the plethoric colonel with the military square chin; see the military posts, walled with vigilance; see the skeleton of the hardy Argonaut of the golden sand desert lashed to the giant cactus with hatful of mesquite coals at its feet ineffable recorder of torture in- deseribable.
 Yes, if that old press could but tell its story over again, the wealth of a modern Croesus could not command the copyright to the wonderful chronicle.

Raised upon a diet of Biblical litera-
ture until he had passed his eighth
year, Sammy Temple took eagerly to
the nickel novels when at last knowl-
edge of their existence was commune
Gated to him. First he liked the
stories of men who sailed strange craft
in the sky above, the earth below or
in the waters under the earth.
Later these were as naught beside
the bold detective who could arrest a
band Of counterfeiters single handed
and who ran murderers to earth just
to keep in practice for greater things.
Captain Beggs, the solitary town con-
stable, at once became more impor-
tant figure than Ben Dwyer. who ran
the single engine which constituted
the motive force on the little branch
line. Sammy had liked to dream of
the day when he should be an en-
gineer, too, and would have charge of
the great iron steed.
He had planned to sneak past the
switch at the junction some night and
run down the main line clear out to
California, or maybe to Mexico, or
up to the goldfeids of Alaska A fell
low could go anywhere on an engine
like that
But after tile Boys Own and the
detective books the engine, tied to its
iron roadbed, seemed tame. Dryer
was deposed from his pedestal, and
Beggs was installed thereon, although
he was only constable, which is not
at all ike real detective.
Detectives are people who tell con-
stables when the latter have the right
prisoner, and he looked forward to the
day when he could show his badge and
say to Captain Beggs: officer, there
stands the man who killed Cyrus
Blake. Arrest himl'' He was ready to
bet that old Beggs would be surprised.
and how the other fellows would stare,
But meanwhile there were oppor-
tunities to do little detective work
about the farm, and Sammy became

vastly interested Ia the movements Of
Dave Ryder, one of the summer board
ers at Cassell's, who would stroll osten-
tatiously toward the village. only to be
seen returning from the opposite direc-
ton an hour or so later.
This action was suspicious. Detec-
tive Samuel took the trail, and, like the
human bloodhound that he was. be
Swallowed the suspect. 1t was rather
disconcerting to have Ryder turn after
q mile or more had been covered and
rudely command him to be on his way.
Ryder even called him "Iittle boy"
Sammy's heart rose hot within him,
and he assured himself that Ryder
must be very desperate criminal
But practice makes perfect, and the
time came when Sammy learned to
maintain safer distance between him
self and the object of his suspicious,
and at last he tracked him to his lair.
The lair was disappointing. 1t was
not cave reached through cunning
ly hidden trapdoor. 1t was not even
rude shack such as the one In which
Billy, the Silent Sleuth, found Pete
Pomero, the head OF the train wreckiag
band.
1t was just little nook in a bend Of
the creek, with fallen log for a seat.
and with his own sister Lucy sitting
there apparently waiting for the arrival
of the desperate.
1t was rather disconcerting to find
ones own family mixed up in such af-
fairs, but duty Is duty, and Sammy
wriggled as close as he dared and lis
tened to the low murmur Of conversa-
ton.
1t all seemed absurdly simple. Ryder
was not planning a burglary He was
kissing Lucy many times, and between
caresses they were discussing how best
to approach her father on the matter
of their marriage.
Judged by the stern. unyielding stand
ards Of Josiah Temple, Ryder was far
too gay a young blade to be trusted
with Lucy, who was destined to marry
a minister when her father could fnd
minister Of whom he could fully ap-
prove Lucy feared to let Ryder speak

see or speak to him. Ryder. on the
other hand, was urging her to consent
to a test of fate.
