MARSHALL'S ESCAPE WAS
 SHORT BUT L|VELEY
His Get Away Ended at Tempe.

There was no jollier man in town
 to all outward appearances than w
 w. Marshall the young man who has
 been running the Bon Ton restaurant when brought back to this place in
 charge of an officer on larceny com,
 plaints.
 It appears that Marshall left the restaurant Sunday evening about nine o'clock, got a wheel belonging to Ben Lebaron, and taking his suit case he rode to Tempe, where it is said that he registered under the name of Ed Spencer. from Tucson. He then tried to sell the bicycle, and failing in this he tried to check it to Deming, New Mexico. later deciding to leave it in Tempe for sale, with instructions to send the money for the wheel to John Wooley, Albuquerque. After disposing of the wheel he purchased a ticket for Deming. New Mexico. He reached Maricopa, alighted from the train and went in the waiting room of the sta tion, when the officer who had been advised by wire to look out for the man, approached him and in tone of voice that would indicate that he had just met an old acquaintance the of- ficer said, Well your names Marshall ain't it?" Marshal was too much of a novice at the getting away act, and he immediately replied Yes" where upon the officer replied that he was that man wanted in Mesa for larceny.
 
 Bracket, of the Shattuck- Nimmo warehouse company store, one of the creditors, as soon as they learned of the actions of Marshall, drove to Tempe immediately. They were too late for the train going south to Mari copa. but they soon learned that a man had tried to check a wheel to Deming and had later bought a ticket to Dem ing, and had not taken the wheel and then they wired to Maricopa, for they were sure they had the right track They found the wheel and the room in which Marshall staid the previous night and practically every transaction that he had made in the town.
 When the officer arrived with Mar shall from Maricopa, he at first stated q but later admitted that he rode a wheel He was brought to Mesa and one of the first men he met was G. Fritz Martin, of the Mesa market, who he tried to leave while owing him something like fifty dollars. He ap- preached Martin in charge of an of ficer with a smile on his face, and started to shake hands, as if he was just back from a long journey. Mar tin was not inclined to do any great amount of handshaking. when Mar shall exclaimed. Whats the matter Martin. Don't you want to shake hands with an old friend?"
 However. when confronted with larceny charge the young man began to see the seriousness of the affair and he lost a certain amount of tie levity of the affair and asked to con suit with lawyer in regard to the best thing to do under such circum- stances. The young man maintained that he did not intend to steal the wheel. but that he expected to sell it and send the money back to square up some of his debts.
 He was arraigned before Justice IT, win yesterday afternoon, when enough evidence was found to warrant his be- ing bound over to the next session of the grand jury. His bail was fixed at $500. but he was unable to furnish bound and was committed to the county iajI
