ON TRAIL OF
 HORSE THIEVES
Rancher Comes to BiSbee After Men Who Stole Two Horses
 From His Ranch.

W. A. Wills was in Lowell today from the Sulphur Springs valley look ing for two men who stole two colts from the pasture of rancher named Hermann, who resided about six miles northwest of Douglas. The horses were stolen on February 5, and Mir. Wills had trailed them to Bisbee. The hunted men have made their escape, however. as they couldn't be located in this district
 The horses stolen were two-year- olds and were unshod, one being a black and the other a gray. No brands had been made upon them, and it is probable that they will bear fresh brands when recovered. That they couldn't have gone very far Is the belief of the gentleman, as the horses could not have stood the trip.
 MT. Wills had traced the horse thieves to the Swishelms, and had found that the men had doubled on their tracks and came towards Bis bee, where he followed them. The ranger force has been notified, as has the different officials in the county, and 1t Is only a matter of 8 short time that the animals will be return ed to their owner.
Bisbee daily review., 1908-02-16

Arizona should look to the encourage ment of those who would come to Ari- zona for the purpose of developing yet other mines and mining districts. The people of Arizona cannot afford tp encourage the splitting of hairs and the search for technicalities where the purpose is only to harass those who are engaged in an indus try which Is contributing the very life blood of the territory. Men who are spending millions of dollars now and who have spent millions in the past for the development of this great in dustry are entitled to every favor of our people which can be extend ed within the bounds of reason.
 Arizona in the past has always shown a liberal spirit towards capital seeking investment here. Our peo- pie encouraged the building of rail roads by exempting them from taxa tion for a certain number of years some for ten and others for twenty years. That policy met with univer. sal approval of the people and it was continued for many years as regular. ly as the legislature was convened The last railroad exemption bill was passed in 1901 or 1903.
 The further development of mines in Arizona is of equal importance now as was the building of the rail roads to the old mineral districts oi the territory in the past. and the best way to secure the development of other mining property, which will mean added prosperity to our people is to show a spirit of ieberality to wardssthe mining enterprises already in existence. There should be no en couragement given to those who would hunt up technical and hair splitting excuses to cause trouble oI expense to those who are honestly en gagged in the development Of the ter ritory.
 A disposition on the part of the people of Arizona to harass and hin der those now engaged in mining and mine development will not tend to en courage other men with money tC come to Arizona to engage in the same work. e... r.-- -a
