do with the hold-up of Miss May Mullan

weeks ago, Capt. Doyle and Precinct De-
tective Greene, who have been investigat-
ing the cases against the accused man,
confidently believe they will be able to
connect him with that crime. ShreeVes
story of his whereabouts at the time is
being investigated. and it is said his &C
count does not tally with the facts which
have since been disclosed.
The boy Daniel Shorter. who was first
arrested by Detective Greene as being I'M

upon the strength of whose statement the
various patrolmen were instructed to iook
out for Shreeves, will be used as the cher

 MT. Smith is to be congratulated upon his selection and the breeders of Phoenix and vicinity are to be con- graduated upon the opportunity they will now have to breed to such a roy ally bred young stallion. While there are number of well bred horses in the beautiful Salt river valley, there are none of the same blood lines as this fellow, and there is no doubt that his advent into their midst will be fully appreciated.
 But two of the get of Kinney Lou have eyer received a seasons training. They are the 4-year-old Diamond Me, who trotted a mile in 2:16, and the 2 year-old lilly. Debutant, who stepped mile in 2:26 in race.
 MT. Smith also owns that great son of Dexter Prince. Senator L.. who holds the worlds 4-mile trotting record of 1O:12. made a dozen years ago over our old race track at Agricultural Park driven by the regon driver, sam Cas- tro.
 This young son of Kinney Lou should be a happy cross for the many daughters of the game Senator L.. as well as many other mares in Arizona of Electioneer blood. there being many sons and grandsons of that great horse in that section.
 By the way, it is worth mentioning that there is no place in the wide world better suited for raising and developing the trotting race horse than the vicin ity of the beautiful little city of Phoe- nix. and in no distant day we shall eX pect to read Of many winners that were bred in that corner of the world"
