FEARED PANIC RESULT
 AND FLED 10 PHOENIX
Eastern Stock Buyer Assumed Alias Though He Cont
 mitted No Crime.

PHOENIX, Feb. 3.-Owing $20, 0,C0O and fearing that because of the finan- cial panic he could not realize enough, out of S30,000 worth of assets, Will liam Neal came to Phoenix about four weeks ago, changed his name to Fax" and until he was seen on the streets and recognized by an eastern friend, succeeded in hiding his whereabouts from anxious rela- lives.
 For forty years, Neal was a promi- nent stock buyer of Ewing. H., being vice. president of a bank, and a man of large interests. December 10 last he dropped out of sight until recog. nized on the Street in Phoenix by c. c. Jones, city treasurer of Benton Ill, town not far from Ewing.
 Though he had committed no crime, Neal, who is 6S years old, made every effort to keep his whereabouts from relatives, who feared that his mind was deranged or that he had met with foul play.
 Sheriff Hayden was given the case, and communicate dwith Nears friends in Ewing, III. Three of them, in cluding his son, son-in-law and the cashier of the Benton State bank, came to Phoenix Saturday afternoon, and Neal returned to Ewing with them yesterday, They all state that he was not wanted for any crime.

MIR. W. r. DOWNING, 4 WELL KNOWN. FL PAso CITIZEN
 IN TOWN.

MT. W. T. Downing. prominent in social and real estate circles Is in the city for a few days at the Cop per Queen. It has been several years since Mir. Downing paid Bisbee wis it and he was remarkably impressed with the substantial improvements. In speaking of El Paso, Mir. Downing said that the way that city was forg- ing ahead was past all belief and now that the government has sanctioned construction of the great Elephant Butte dam, which is to turn the kio Grande valley into vast cultivated district. he anticipates that the Pass City will more than double its popu- lation in three years, thus giving a great impetus to real estate values.
 Mir. Downing is connected with Messrs. McCord & orpin. owners ot Altura Park, and in speaking of that beautiful addition to the city said that since the tract was put on the market over s150,000 had been spent in improvements and over $200,000 worth of property sold.
 Alr. Downing was considerably sur prised to learn that our citizens had invested over S10000 in Altura Park during the last week and the demand was still strong. 726
