SUPPOSED ROBBERS OF PORTO RICO SALOON
Arrested by Officer Ivy With Most Damaging Evidence on Their Per- sons

Officer Ivy after two days detective duty yesterday afternoon landed in jail the men who it is alleged on Monday night broke into and entered the Porto Rico saloon, stole IS quart bottles of branded whiskey, two razors and $1.50 in Mexican money. The names of the suspects are Bob Lewis, Mike Griffin and Wm. Crimmins, and they were caught with the goods on. That is part of them, two days joyful indul- gence in drunkenness having reeuced the visible quantity of liquor and in the meantime caused the disappear ance of the razors. The Mexican mon ey was found on the person of one of the men. Both the money and one un- broken bottle of whiskey were identi- fled by Joe Feliciti the proprietor of the saloon robbed, though the label on the bottle had been nearly all removed with a knife, which was considered suspicious action.
 Major Ivy experienced considerable difficulty in arresting Lewis who, though he was so drunk that he could hardly navigate in the alley, with unexpected strength Topped the off cer and some of his aids into the gut ter during the progress of his removal to the county bastile. Lewis put up a vicious fight for a brief time but was finally qTelled and carried bodily. an officer at each limb and d curious crowd on all sides. Officer Ivy Tues day learned that these men were drunk and quietly began an investigation What he found out lead him to believe that they had unusual resources for booze having entered on a bender of some magnitude.
 Yesterday he found all three at J. w. Doris grocery engaged in the pur- chase of onions. which they claimed they were going to cook at Granite Reef where they were employed. MT Ivy informed them that he was work ing at Wickenburg and was buying a box of eggs for d similar purpose. Griffin however became suspicious of Ivy as a bona fide egg buyer and told Lewis he better keep still or he would be arrested, to which he replied that nobody. man or beast in town could take him." That confirmed the officer in his conclusions and he proceeded to elucide the purpose of his mission to corral the malefactors. After the ar rest, he called in the proprietor of the Porto Rico and had him identify the stolen goods. On his way down to the saloon he picked up N. OrtegO, a drunk. and added him to the collection of inebriates at the jail. The trial of the supposed burglars will probably be heard in Justice Kyle's court today.

MOST EFFECTIVE.

Neglect of even an ordinary cough or cold is apt to leave the lungs sore and especially sus- ceptible to bronchial affections. To break up a cold quickly and cure any cough that is curable there is nothing more effective than a mixture of One-half ounce of Virgin oil f Pine. with two ounces of glycerine and a half pint of good whisky. Take a teaspoOnful every four hours. Five ounces of jtincture CinchOna compound can be used instead of whisky with the same result.
 The ingredients for this mix . ture are not expensive and can be purchased at any good drug store. It will always be found more satisfactory, however, to purchase each separately and mix them at home. Virgin Oil of Pine is a pure compound, guaranteed by the manufactur- CTS under the Food and Drugs Act, Serial No. 451. and is pre- pared only in the laboratories of The Leach Chemical Co.,, Gin cinnati.

A lARGt ADVANCE
 IN VALLEY LANDS
As Shown by the Deal Closed, InvoIv- ing $20,000 for a Tract in Orange Belt

w. B. Twitchell, the pioneer Kelvin mining man, has become a land owner
 through the purchase of a quarter sec tion from George Hahn for the sum of $20,000. The deal was consummated day before yesterday through the agency of the Taylor Bergman com pany. The land is not in cultivation
 The sum paid would therefore seem large to the ill-informed. were it not for the fact that it is favorably situ- ated in the orange belt, northeast of the city, and is surrounded by fine orange groves. It is signed up under the reservoir and will no doubt, as MT
 Twitchell figures, be worth not less than $40000 in a few years. The soil is very productive and particularly adapted to the growing of citrus fruits.
 The deal shows not only a resuming activity in realty lines. the high values being placed on even unimproved tracts, but shows the great advance made in property within the last year.
 In February of 1907, Mir Hahn pur- chased this quarter section for $10,000, and realizes this handsome profit as a result of his investment. while MT. Twitchell undoubtedly got a bargain. notwithstanding. The very successful season in the orange business just closed, when Arizona fruit took a pre- eminent place in the market over Cal

DEATH OF MRS. PRATT.

Mrs. Sadie Watrous Pratt was born at Westfield Penn. August 7th. 1864, and died in Phoenix, Ariz.. Feb. 12th. 1908 When. Mrs. Pratt was but a girl, with her parents she moved to Wood stock Ill.,, where she remained until 1887, when the family removed to Ari- Zona. Thirteen years ago. she was united in marriage to Mir. Chas. H. Pratt which event was the beginning of a blissful home life. Some one in speaking of the family now broken. said in the presence of the writer, We always looked upon the home of Mir. and Mrs. Pratt as the ideal home. 20 Such it truly was. Nor could it have been otherwise. presided over as It was by the queenly presence and grace of her who has just gone hence.
 T,he character of the life of Mrs. Pratt was truly commendable. Were we asked to enumerate some of her worthy characteristics we would call attention to her beautiful humility; her spirit of unselfishness, and her constant endeavor to add to the hap piness of her friends and dear ones. Her sunny disposition and sher cheer ful presence made her company most enjoyable. While to he- fife was real and earnest" yet it was nevertheless happy and attractive and altogether worth while.
 As was to be expected from the life that she lived, her death was most peaceful. Years since, she settled the question of her spiritual destiny by confessing Christ as her personal Say for and in that faith she continued to live until God called her to be with Him. To her "To live was Christ and to die was gain" Her faith was
Arizona republican., 1908-02-15

strong. her love for Christ intense and her consecration to the service of God real. It was truly an inspiration to those who were privileged to look into her face as she was preparing to depart and be with Christ" to hear her speak and to behold her calmness and resignation to the will of God. She kindly protested against any expression of sympathy from those whose hearts were breaking with the thought of her departure, assuring them that she was happy in the thought of her speedy coronation and that her only regret was that of the breaking of the earthly ties and the leaving of the dear ones. the enjoy ment of whose loving presence had meant so much to her. As she stood at the very threshold of the eternal world. she calmly repeated with her pastor. much of the 23rd Psalm. DOT tions of John IA and many other pre- cious promises. and seemed to be al- most surprised that she was so su- premely happy while face to face with death.
 The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church yesterday fore noon and were attended by many of her friends and neighbors. the keen conception of whose loss was depicted plainly upon every face. The choir led the audience near to God as thes sang Fade, Fade Each Earthly Joy" My Jesus As Thou Wilt" and "I Know My Heavenly Father Knows" while the pastor endeavored to com fort the hearts saddened so greatly by pointing them to the assurances of the word of God that He dOeth all things well. The interment was in the beautiful cemetery at Tempe, beside the body of her dear father. and the body was followed to it's last resting place by many loved friends from Phoenix and the little neighboring city.
 And So has passed from earth an other whose life was so full of useful service. She will be sadly missed in the cCmmunity, in the church. and most of all in the home; but not a word of complaint would we utter. for We are quite sure that to her ito die was gain infinite" and hence we would not wish her back. Nor let us for get that there IS a tribute more last ing than worthy praise. that We can pay to the memory of this departed friend. Not a tribute of flowers. which wither in a night not a marble mOn- ument which may for a long time re- sist the action of physical forces: but we may erect a lasting monument to her memory by living over the life so beautiful that she lived.

 The same company which sold the tract reports that the real estate busi- ness is looking very bright and recent transfers have interested other pros pective buyers in a degree that they have begun an investigation of the lists of desirable property.
