JUST COULDN'T HELP FINDING COLD WATCHES
Harrington Found Two in the Same
 Place onNTwo Successive Daye.

! Some people are just born lucky. Fl | l.. Harrington is one of them. He just can't walk down the street without stumbling over gold watches. He has ! to lift up his feet to keep from crush 1 ing the jewelry. A week ago Thursday as he was ! coming to town along the Tempe road he saw a gold watch lying by the
 ditch He stopped his horse and got out to pick it up. Ii was a ladies watch with a fob on which are the mystic Greek letters Phi Lambda Ep- silon with the word Denver" above,
 A monogram on the watch looks like NJ C. K. Harrington put the watch
 in his pocket and forgot about it.
 The next day Harrington was driv-
 ing to town along the Tempe road. As
 he came to the place where he found the watch the day before he happened
 to think about the Incident and looked out to the same spot. He saw some thing glitter in the grass. Harrington
 rubbed his eyes. Then he felt in his pockets to be quite sure he had really picked up the watch the day before and not left il lie there in a fit of ab- straction. The watch was in his pocket all right Slowly he turned his head and looked over at the little yellow spot in the grass again.
 Then he jumped out. walked over and picked up a beautiful gold watch this time Q mans timepiece- Harring- looked around for more watches put there were none He felt sure the watch was not there the day before. He put the watch in his pocket be side the other one and wondered wha; he should do with them. That was d week ago Friday that he found the second watch.
 The next day Harrington was driv- ing to town along the Tempe road in the direction of Phoenix When he came 10 the spot where he found the watches he happened to remember the circumstance and looked over in the grass No. he did not see the shim- mer of gold. There were no more ly- ing listlessly in the grass.
 For week or So Harrington carried the watches about in his pocket. He rather hoped that he would find some more watches and thus be able to make a collection of them. But as the days went by and no more watches ap- peared he began to think he ought tD dispose of those he had. so yesterday he brought them to the police station and turned them over to the city mar shal. They may be obtained there by their owner The mans watch also has a monogram: it seems t3 be \. A.

yesterday that the outlook was too hopeless. He realized that he had once been the beneficiary of a scratch and that scratches do not happen every day.
 Therefore his attorney announced in court yesterday that he would plead guilty. Rochin had offered to do that before the first trial. but the court. de- sirous of learning the extent of his of- fense. would not accept the plea.
 The same ground for refusing this time did not exist as the story had been told Time for passing sentence was waived and the court sent him to the penitentiary for eight years.
