WOMAN ALLEGES SHE GAVE
NOTES TO HELP NEEDY MAN
Frederick Waugh, Accused of Obtain
inq Money Under False Pretenses'
Prosecuted by Benefactress

81 knew this man was poor and he
appeared so straightforward and honest
wanted to help him." said Mrs. Mar
garet Eads in Justice Summertields
court yesterday during the preliminary
examination of Frederick Waugh,
charged with obtaining money under
false representations.
Mrs. Eads said she gave Waugh
promissory notes for total amount or
1870 in February on his representation
that he would use the paper to bolster
up an oil proposition.
He told me the notes would not be
cashed, that he would use them simply
as a means to show his plan had some
financial backing and that I would not
lose a cent by the transaction. l nave
lost nothing so far except a great deal
of sleep, but 1 have been worried oy
collectors who want me to pay the
notes which Waugh cashed shortly
after they were given him"
Justice Summerfeld took the case
under advisement, and on application OF
Waughs attorneys, Willis & Robinson,
the bond for his release, which was
fixed at $4,000 when he was arrested,
was reduced to $1,000.

She added that she had frequently

by Jordan, who said his wife cvinced
no displeasure at the time and he,
therefore, believed amy enjoyment he
derived from this association had her

HORSE
 lMPER|LED CHILD
A Runaway Incident That Might Have Resulted Much More Seriously.

Mrs. Daniel Francis is one of the happiest women in Phoenix. not be- cause of anything that has happened but because something didn't happen that about 4:30 o'clock yesterday aft ernoon seemd immident, bidding fair to result in the tragic death of her two year old child.
 She was getting into her buggy at the Dublin corral, having placed the little one in the sea-, and being ac- companied by the older child, she was about to help into the vehicle, when the horse started suddenly, throwing her down and tearing her apparel. The animal accelerated his speed until he reached the Commercial hotel at the corner of Center and Jefferson, turn ing north on Center. He was gallop- ing wildly by that time, but the crowd was thick across Center at Washing ton, and the danger of the little one being noted it rapidly thickened The horse dropped from a gallop to trot and finally slowed down a bit until some citizen grabbed his bit and stopped him. Chris Kerr, who had been trying to overtake the horse from the time it turned the Commercial corner, came up and took charge of the horse. Mrs. Francis arrived a moment later in another rig, from the corral, ner- vous and frightened, and MT. Kerr drove the horse around block or two for her until all were calmed again.
 It is undrstood Mrs. Francis was painfully bruised, but not seriously hurt
