 LOOKING FOR STOLEN BOY

away in an automobile apparently to as- sist in the Identification of the boy who came to the hotel last night
 Ball gave the police but one address at which he said the boy might be found. When a search had been made for the lad at that address and he had not been located MT Buhl insisted that all of the family hotels in the city be visited.
 For two hours the automobile whirled about the city. At midnight, thourough- ly worn out, he returned to the Hotel Euclid, from which place the search started. He was unwilling to admit eith- CT that the boy seen here was or was not his nephew.
 T am prepared now to pay the $10.oo0 for the return of the child. There need be no questions asked about who stole him or how he was stolen. The man who returns him shall have the s10,000 in order to get the boy back

An now comes Senator Beveridge, Indiana's boy wonder. asking that Prof. John c. Ewing of Notre Dame college at South Bend, Indi- ana, be appointed Judge to succeed Judge Nave. It would be just splendid to have a judge from the home "deestrickt" of the Hoopoie senator, for Arizona owes so much to him. but it is strange he does not fear his friend might be gnawed and bitten by the savage. illiterate natives who are unable to control themselves. Regardless of his vicious fight against giving Arizona her dues he is ever ready to reach with a greedy hand for pie.
