he would seek the shade for a short
time. Schandler worked on alone I'M
til noon and then sat down in the
shade nearby to eat his lunch. He
had looked about for Scudder but
could not find him. He supposed that
Scudder had gone into the shade
and had gone to sleep.
Later in the day he was found
lying on his back in a dry ditch
within twenty feet of the place
where Schandler had eaten his din
ner. There was a bench on the edge
of the ditch and Scudder had evil

and when stricken by death had
rolled into the ditch, where he was
hidden by the high weeds on the
bank
Coroner tombstone was called up
and informed of the finding of the
body and he directed Moore & Nc
Lellan to bring the body in. Deputy
Sheriff Jeff Adams went out to
gather such information as he could
and to bring back any effects of the
dead man he might find.
Among these was a bottle Of beer
which had not been opened. That
was put into the bottom of the
wagon. on the way to town the bot
tie exploded, the top half of it being
blown off. Robert Hamilton, who
was in the wagon. fancied that he
was struck a violent blow on the
leg, but no part of the bottle could
be found. Not a fragment of glass
remained except the bottom part of
the bottle. The beer vanished in
yellow mist.
Deputy Adams thought that his au-
tomato pistol had got started and
he wondered how soon the bullets
would begin ploughing through him.
The coroner summoned a jury and
the body was viewed. The inquest
will be concluded this morning
Scudder was about forty years of
age. His home was in Deposit, N
Y. He came here about three weeks
ago. He was a jeweler by trade, but
his failing eyesight made it necessary
for him to give up that business
and for some time he worked at the
cigar making trade. Since his arrival
in town he had been employed by Mr.
Schandler as a helper.

The cure for this threatening i'll
is to be found only in placing that

which Christ accords to it in the

IN SUM OF $1,000
CHARGED WITH PHASE OF THE
WHITE SLAVE" TRAFFIC.
United States Attorney Alexande
Serves Terrtory-Wide Notice.

A Bomardin. the Frenchman ar
rested on Wednesday night on the
charge of placing his mistress, Adele
Benitz. in a house of prostitution. and
subsequently arrested on a warrant di-
rected by the secretary of commerce
and labor. had a hearing before Com
missioner tombstone yesterday on still
another charge preferred by United
States Attorney Alexander. that of liv-
ing with the woman in a state of con-
cubinage after having imported her
into the country for immoral purposes.
In the opinion of the United States
attorney, Bomardin would have to be
tried at Ell Paso on the simple charge
of bringing the woman into the coun-
try for immoral purposes. But the one
on which he was heard yesterday. If
sustained, is sufficient to send him to
the penitentiary. after which he might
still be deported under the charge of
the department. Immigrant Inspector
Council was present at the hearing.
The United States attorney in bring
ing this case relied upon the decision
of the United States supreme court in
the Bitty case, in which Bitty had been
arrested and convicted of bringing
woman from England and living with
her in state of concubinage.
Bomardin placed the blame all on
the woman He said that he had lived
with her in Mexico since 1901, and that
she had borne him two children, the
elder of which died The babe which
was found in his possession is the
other.
Bomardin said they entered the
United States at FL Paso in February
of this year The woman came first
and entered a house of prostitution
Bomardin said he followed her to in
duce her to leave that life and to re-
cover possession of the babe. The
same kind of an errand took him to
Douglas and latterly to Phoenix. In
evidence of his forgiving spirit and
his good intentions he would marry
the woman if she would take an oath
in court to lead henceforth a virtuous
life. The commissioner was not greatly
impressed by this line of talk and he
ordered Bomardin held. fixing his bond
at $1,000. The Frenchman was led out
of court clutching his back hair Che

ing "Sacre!"
The woman was turned back to the
custody of The police.
United States Attorney Alexander is
determined that the White Slave"
traffic shall have no place in Phoenix
or in the territory. Notice is served
upon keepers Of brothels and those who
rent rooms to fallen women that they
will be prosecuted and sent to the pen
itentiary If it can be proved that they
are harboring any woman who is an
alien and who has come int the coun-
try within three years 1t may some
times be impossible for the brothel
keeper to know that he is violating the
law until it is too late, but it is his
business to know.

THE FOXY Mr.. FOX DUMMY
How He Used It to Escape From
the Pen
Arson County Man Who Was i'm for
Twelve Years for MansIaughter,
Has Not Been Heard From Since
His Departure.

The State Prison authorities have as
yet no. clue to John L. Fox, of Arson.
who on last Tuesday night escaped
from the State Prison here. When he
was sent here a short time ago the
Arson authorities sent word that he
would have to be watched closely or
he would escape.
Fox was in for twelve years for the
murder Of Stepton Watson, in Wades-
borO. He formerly lived in Newton,
and his family have lately moved from
Wadesboro to that place.
Fox made his escape from the State
Prison by a very celever trick. On
Tuesday evening, when the bell was
sounded for supper he reported that
he. was sick and wanted no supper
He was left in his cell and when the
men were at supper he made up q
dummy figure on his bed with old
pieces Of bagging. He put his shoes
by the side of the bed and then hid
in the basement.
When the convicts were brought
back from supper the guards OOked
in Fox's cell and seeing the form in
bed, the shoes on the floor, were de
ceived. The ."all right bell was
after the convicts had been
count and the guards went off duty
for the night.
Late in the night Cox stepped out
from MS hld1ng place IN the base
ment and got out of a window into
the front yard. Here he secured q
plank and with it managed to reach
the top stockade fence nea the big
gate. Over the fence he went and
disappeared.
Fox is reported as being about five
feet, six inches tall, weighs 40
pounds, hair is Of a reddish color, and
eyes blue. The States Prison people
