AGED DEFENDANT
 GUILTY OF STEALING

DOUGLAS, Oct. 25.-(SpeciaL)-
 A surprising occurrence was to be seen in the local court this morning when an aged, white haired and white bearded man. one who has heretofore stood high in this com munity. who before coming here en- joyed high honors and filled an office in a way which won for him admira- tion and respect far and near. was arraigned for stealing coal from the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad, and pleaded guilty to the charge.
 Judge Rice was completely surpris- ed this morning on his arrival al the court room to find awaiting him for arraignment. A. D. Irwin, for two years sheriff of Pecos county. Texas. where he had the reputation of be- ing one of the best, most fearless and yet conservative men who ever held that office, and who since com inG here has always ben highly re- spected.
 He did nor deny taking the coal, he entered plea of guilty, in fact, though the term stealing" seemed to hurt, and he denied stealing, though he admitted wrongful appro- priation of coa; that did not belong to him.
 At first Judge Rice was too much astonished to talk and then he wax ed indignant, told the aged offender what he thought of his conduct and demanded explanation. This not be- ing forthcoming, fine of s2O was as sessed and the aged offender paid | and left the court room. .....
 oother Cases Heard
 Otis Robinson was brought back from Bisbee charged with obtaining meal ticket from the Haas Cafe by means of false representations. He had claimed the Copper Queen company had him as a creditor for more than $5, which proved not the case, and obtained the meal ticket on his representation. He pleaded guilty and was given 60 days at Tombstone.
 One drunken Mexican was the only other case before the court at the morning session.

DOUGLAS, Oct. 25-(Special.)-
 Colonel L. W. Powell, managing di- rector of the Calumet & Arizona com pany, motored down from Warren this morning in his big White steam CT. The fact of his being in the city, of the presence of a number of others from Duluth, more or less identified with the C. 6 A. company and of some Sonora mining men being all present in the Gadsden at the same time gave rise to the rumor that mining deal was pending, and that the property which was to be looked into was in the Lampasos district
 It may or may not be that some Sonora mining deal is contemplated, and that the Lampasos district is to receive the attention of which it is so eminently deserving, but this was not the occasion of the visit of Col onel Powell. He stated to an Inter national reporter that he motored down to meet MT. Downs. friend Of his who came from the east on his way into Sonora, with the intention of persuading him to go with him to Warren and spending Sunday at his beautiful home in that clean little town

There is no reason why any con-

1t is the chance of lifetime, and

the kind ever held by newspaper

The Public Opinion office is a
busy place these days waiting on the

The first stage of the Auto race
was won by Miss Viola Meyer of
Castalia. She was a happy yong
lady when we called her up over the
phone and told her that her efforts
during the past week had been :e-
warded with success, and that the
count had declared her the winner
of the first special prize, handsome
ladies' gold watch, Elgin movement,
guaranteed for twenty years. And
she was still happier when it was
placed in her hands, for il was more
beautiful than she expected, a prize
that anyone might feel proud of, and
that will last her lifetime.
There has been something doing
about the Public Opinion office the
past week. New subscriptions have
been coming in by the score, former
subscribers renewing, all interested
in the success of some young lady.
1t was a nip and tuck race, with
first one in the lead and then anoth-
er. When the final count came there
were several young ladies very close
TO the prize, but they could not all
win, and Miss Meyer had won the
