ALLEGED HORSE THIEF
RAISES LAW POINT
Urges That Stealing Three
Horses Out Of One Pasture
Is Only One Crime,

Joe Davis and John Fisher, the men
from the Christy pasture on the night
of December &c, and captured at King
man a week ago, were arraigned be-
fore Justice tombstone nPhoenix.
Fisher, the elder of the two, express
ed surprise that there were three
charges of theft against them and he
rose to a point of information. How
is that?" he inquired. '"Spose now,
Judge, IL a man has a dollar in his
pocket belonging to another, and a
half dollar belonging to another and a
or2-ScT belonging to another, and
pick his pocket, can be arrested on
three charges?"
The court replied that he could not
but in this case he said that the
horses stolen belonged to three diff.
ferent men, though they happened to
be in the same field. But how is a
thief to know that they didn't belong
TO the same man?' asked Fisher, in a
tone that seemed to imply that the
concealment of the ownership of the
horses had been playing it pretty low
down on him.
The court suggested that it makes
70 difference whether he knows it or
not and se further believed that
knowledge Of the facts would not al
ter the program OF the average horse
thief. That's so. admitted Fisher. as
he gently toyed with his chin whis-
kers.

Negotiations are in progress for a

Frank II. Sperry, prominent east.
ern hotel man, who is convinced that
Tucson offers an excellent opportunity
for another big hotel, is behind the
project, says the Citizen.
Mr.. Sperry has been in conference
with Albert SteinfeId regarding the
project.
He has advanced the proposition to
the effect that If $4,000 is put up by
local capitalists he viii secure $780,
600 in New York and New England foY
another big hotel for Tucson of the
proportions of the Santa Rita
Mr.. Sperry, who has been in Tucson
for several weeks looking over the
hotel field and enjoying the winter eli.
mate, left Sunday morning for New
York and from there win go TO the
West Indies, where has has business
interests. He expects to remain in
the West Indies for the winter and
will the nreturn to this coursry
Not many details have been given
out regarding Mr.. Sperry's project for
another large hotel in Tucson beyond
the fact that he has stated he will Sc
cure 100000 in the East, providing
that Tucson parties desire to invest
$4,000 in the hotel company that
would be formed to put up the build
ing.
Mr.. Sperry was the owner OF one Of
the big tourist hotels in Kingston, ia
maica, at the time of the big earth
quake. which occurred in that city
about a year ago.
It is likely that definite action on
the proposition win be deferred until
after Mr.. Sperry's return from the
West Indies.

GOD. MAN AND IMMORTALITY.

Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of the I'm

contributes an impressive article to the
December number of The North Am
erican Review entitled God, Man and
Immortality" The article is in effect
reply to the article by the late Gov
ernor D. H. Chamberlain, entitled
"Some Conclusions of a Free Thinker
which appeared in a recent number of
the Review. Judge Grosscup contends
that materialistic theories of the uni
verse, such as Haeckels being Nero
deductions from facts scientifically as
certained. have no claim to be regarded
as scientific than a Spiritual theory OF
the universe deduced from facts which
are also scientifically ascertained. That
the material resources and forces of
the world were placed in the world
by designing intelligence, he thinks
is almost convincingly suggested by
the fact that these resources and
forces are of no practical value except

Grosscup concludes:

words some great man uttered to his
contemporaries Cromwell, a WASH

what those words and that man sub
sequently accomplished. a new belief
attaches to their truth and wisdom
And so it is also when l turn over in
my mind the word given to us by this
Jesus of Nazareth. He was born of
parents who but for Him, would have
lived and died q mere carpenter and
his wife. He never set foot outside a
province of the Roman empire that,
in its day, was as little taken notice
of. by the rest of the world, as is one
of the small islands of the Philippine
Archipelago. And He passed out of this
life unmentioned in any writing of His
time, for the mention by Josephus is
probably an Interpolation. But His life
and His word have divided the world
into two: everything that has come
after Him is His; everything that shall
come after us increasingly His. More

THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD lKolRE FIRST

What the legislature should do is to

With all consideration for the opin-

tremely costly change upon the

be of advantage and it is probable
that aside from their first cost the ma
chimes would prove economical and ex-

we shall vote observation-disclosures OF
us do even now, and without apparat-

into the matter of the change fully
and there is no general demand for the
substitution of machines for the pres

would behoove the legislature to await
more thorough understanding and 4
more definite desire on the part of
those to whom it is responsible before

A QUESTION OF PLAIN HONESTY.

The Iowa City Citizen suggests that
if Colonel Hepburn contests the cleo
ton in the Eighth district the anti
Cannon forces should give him every
possible aid, for the reason that he is
the most vigorous and effective foe
of the present house rules now in con-
gress
The Citizens reason falls short The
anti Cannon forces and all other hon
est forces should give Mr. Hepburn
every possible aid to establish his
right if he has been chosen by the
voters of the Eighth district. The an
ti-Cannon forces and all other honest
men should give Mr.. Jameson every
possible aid in the same way and for
the same reasons.
This contest is not a crossroads
horserace, a jack leg poker game, or a
lawsuit between shapers, but some
thing which touches directly on the
fundamental right of voters to cast
their ballots as they see fit and to have
them honestly counted for the candi-
dates they favor. The rules of the
house, the next speakership,. even the
balance of power between parties has
in all honesty nothing to do with it.
We are UP to the simple question of an
honest count. That is all and enough.
Neither Mr.. Hepburn nor Mr.. Jam
iesen should receive any support eN-
cept an open count and the majority
must rule. Cannon or anti Cannon
postoffices or none, the votes the
thing to be considered 1t is all only
a question of simple honesty an in
this case at least honesty will be found
the better policy.
