FL. CrOweII In Trouble.

Friends everywhere of MT. E. l.. Crowell, who for some time has been a resident of Nogales, being in the employ of the U United States government as cashier in the cus- | toms house at this port of entry, i will be surprised and pained to learn that he has gotten himself in serious trouble.
 Last Monday at the instigation of c. w. West, ex-governor of Utah, a special agent of the U. $. treas ury department, MT. Crowell was arrested on four charges, one being for making false entries in govern ment books, three being for embez- zling government funds to the amount of $25OO.OO.
 MT. Crowen admitted that he had taken the money, but insisted he intended to make the amount good; he was immediately taken before United States Court Com missioner Eb. Williams who bound him over to the United States grand jury in the sum of $5,OOO. which up to this writing has not been secured by his friends, and the unfortunate man remains in the county jail.
 Yesterday representative of THE BORDER VIDETTE visited MT. Crowell, in company with a couple of friends.
 Mr. Crowell fully realizes the awful trouble his weakness has brought on himself and his inno- cent family, a noble woman and E,,1 boy and girl-who certainly have the heartfelt sympathy of a large majority of people in this com munity.
 When asked regarding the sland- erous mouthings of certain in- dividuals on the streets and in front of saloon bars about town, to the effect that the collector of GUS toms and the chief deputy collector of the custom house were implicat- ed with him, Mr. Crowell most emphaticalIy denied the reports as canards cut from whole cloth, to suit the imagination of those who desire to injure Colonel McCord and MT. Griswold.
 "Two wrongs do not make a right" said MT. Crowell, land I wish you would say for me that l, and I alone am guilty of crime, if crime has been committed. 1 never for one moment expected to get myself and family into this awful trouble, and fully expected to be able to return the money l used. Why people should wish to inn plicate others in this matter is more than I can tell"
 Mir Crowell talked of mining deal that for some time he and his associates have been interested in down in Sonora. He stated that William Parish, the great mining engineer, and three other engineers had reported favorably on the property, which he himself believed then, and thinks now, will make everybody concerned wealthy. At the time of the money panic, a large payment was due, and no doubt would have been paid on the property, but owing to the panic, the ''string broke," and now Mir. Crowell is left holding the empty sack, and the penitentiary is looming dark and gloomy before him.
 Crowell has not made an itemiz- ed statement as to how he spent the money he admits having taken from the government. Whats the use? The money is gone; the man who took it is receiving his punish ment; a brave, noble woman is heartbruken, and two lovely children are deprived of a fond father; what's the use. The United States grand jury meets at Tomb stone next Monday, at which time and place justice will be done.
