The Arrest of Man Who Had Been
 Conducting Series of Burglaries.

Ephriam Richards, better known as Dakota Jack, who is in the employ of Diffendoffer & Ruse, was arrested yesterday morning on a charge of bur glary The warrant was sworn out by H. L. Peterson of the firm of Peter son & Howe. proprietors of the Mesa bakery. For quite while the firm has been missing goods of different kinds which had been stored in it's warehouse located in the rear of the bakery.
 Soon after MT Diffendoffer opened the meat shop yesterday morning he noticed a case of canned milk which had been unopened and which bore the stamp of Peterson & Howe. on top of a pile of empty boxes beside the rear doorway. He notified the pro- prietors and a chain of circumstances directed suspicion against Richards. Mir Peterson had a warrant issued for his arrest, while others waited for his appearance at the rear of the market before starting on his regular morning trip to the slaughter house. They had not long to wait, for soon Richards appeared and going to the pile of boxes got a case of blackberries which had been overlooked by those who had found the other case. He placed the case in the wagon and covered it with

IMPROVING PROPERTY
 A DITCH BEING MOVED
The Webb b-corbell Land Being Made
 Saleable.

Messrs. Webb & Corbell. who some time ago opened up a quantity of land east of Goldman's addition for set tlement, have just completed a piece of work there that adds much to the value Of the property. Years ago when what is now Goldman's addi ton was first settled, ditch was run from the Hayden ditch to. supply water to the land that now consti- tutes the addition. This ditch was made without regard for what might later transpire and it followed a little ridge, taking no particular direction and running wherever it took the least work to make 1t. In recent years since the addition has commenced to fill up, half a dozen different DOT tions of this ditch have been moved to better conform with the streets and lots. The ditch had a bad habit of running across many of the lots of the addition instead of on the lines. This was the case with the Corbell- Webb property. This part of the ditch has now been placed where it should have been built The new street through the property, being an exten- sion of Tyler street, will also soon be graded.

PRELIMINARY CONTEST
 AT TEMPE HIGH SCHOOL
Julius Goodwin Will Represent Local
 School.

The high school. instead of observ- ing Arbor day yesterday, devoted the afternoon to a preliminary contest for the purpose of deciding upon a rep resentative to the Student" declama- tory contest which will be held on the 18th of March.
 The parents and relatives of the pu pills of the school were invited and attended almost without exception. The assembly room was packed with visitors.
 There were eleven contestants as follows: Joe Cosner, Julius Goodwin. Bessi Rice, Obed Lassen, Susie Ira cey. Chas. Parry, Minnie Penn, Thom- asine Morrow, Clyde Miller. Ruby Haigler and Elon Armstrong. The judges were Chas. Alexander. Miss Odell, Mrs. Daggs. Mrs. Jordan and Mrs Ewing In checking up their marks, they found that Julius Good win and Elon Armstrong tied for first place. This necessitated a still closer grading and resulted in the selection of Julius as the representative of the Tempe high school.

he made the statement that the boxes had been left where they were found by a Mexican, who had offered him s1.50 to take them out to the slaughter house. On being asked who the Mexi- can was, he said that he did not know but that by taking the officers to the slaughter house he could soon find him as the Mexican would be there waiting for the goods. This having been done without finding any trace of the native, Richards was taken be- fore Justice Irwin and put under bond of $500 to appear before him at a preliminary hearing to be held at 5 D. m.

SUDDEN PASSING OF
 A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN THE DEATH OF HENRY SCHMIDT
 CAST A GLOOM. The Funeral This Afternoon Under the Auspices of the EIks.

The announcement in yesterdays paper of the sudden death of Henry F. Schmidt the evening before was a great shock to his many friends in Tempe and vicinity The same feel ing no doubt prevailed in Douglas yes terday morning for the morning pa per there contained a short account of the distressing incident Mir Schmidt has made Douglas his home for the past three years and was one of the prominent young men of that city.
 Shortly before Christmas MT Schmidt was stricken with a more se- rious attack of what it appears has been a chronic aliment for some time past and which was pronounced by the Douglas physicians as Bright's dis ease. His mother was called to Doug las. Arriving there she found her son in much better health and about the first of the year he came to Tempe, still much improved He expected to remain here a few weeks in the hope that the change and better home care would result in a permanent cure. Within Q week after his arrival here, however, his illness became more pro- nounced and he was shortly obliged to take to his bed, from which he never again arose.
 The dread disease, which seemed to have a secure hold on the young man. rapidly developed into its worst stages. Every possible care was giv- en him but it was evident some time ago that there was not a Chance of his recovery. His condition, however, remained little changed for several weeks and on the day of his death he even seemed somewhat stronger and his friends and the members of his family were much encouraged. It was not until late in the afternoon that he became suddenly worse and within half an hour the end came. His sud- den death. coming as it did when least expected and when the hopes of his possible recovery seemed bright

est, was like thunderbolt out of a clear sky, and the blow to his family can be easily imagined.
 Several of his friends in Douglas were at once notified by wire as were also the Douglas Elks. Early yester- day morning reply was received from the Elks' lodge at that place re- questing that the Phoenix lodge take charge of the funeral. It has been ar ranged that this be held from the Schmidt home on Eighth street this afternoon at half past one. There will be short services at the home and the Elks will then take charge of the remains. The interment will be made in the Double Butte cemetery.
 Probably few young men enjoy a larger acquaintance than did MT. Schmidt He grew from boyhood to manhood in Tempe, and his cheerful disposition won for him many friends He was an accomplished musician and occupied a prominent position in the Tempe band, later playing in the Douglas organization. In Douglas he made hosts of friends through busi- ness association, having at different times there held responsible positions with various firms. He was last with the Douglas Dispatch in the business office. but was forced to give up this position on account of i'll health. It was while in Douglas that he became a member of the Elks lodge of that place.
 Coming as it did, when just in the prime of young manhood, with a bright outlook for the future before him. the sudden passing away of Henry Schmidt has caused the deep est sorrow among all who knew him

The maid placed the trinkets ON the

her jewels that should have the power
to give Joy to any woman. but Mrs.
Mallory looked at them indifferently,
and toyed with them with her slender
white fingers.
She frowned with displeasure as
the maid laid before her a wrap OF
costly fur.
MY nephew should not have sent
me this" she said sharply. He can
not AFFORD 1t. 1t was only because !

The maid did not hear this, for she
was lost in rapsures over a firmly
matinee OF real lace and hand-painted
chiffon.
"Oh. the exquisite mouse" she
cried. with more enthusiasm than
knowledge Of correc: English.
Mrs. Mallory smiled little at the
maids quaint happiness in the gifts.
She was rather fond OF Janette and
was often amused at the girls extrav.
agant expressions. Janette was a
happy, care-free soul and always
ready to cate- to ter every mood
She ran to her mistress with a veri-
table little squeal Of pleasure as she
united one box. 1t was n fine gold
necklace with butterfly pendant,
frail, jewelled. delicate as a breeze.
Mrs. Mallory read the card and her
face turned pale.
Gait" she whispered.
The gift was from n woman whom
Mrs Mallory thoroughly disllked
and she had not tried to hide her feel
fngs. The woman, through ambi-
tions Of her own. had persistently

her name as the entree into many
fashionable gatherings AS she
looked at the jewel. Mrs. Mallory
could have crushed its delicate beau
ty in her hand.

exclaimed in surprise. A little note,
written in the same childish hand

looked at the gift. 1t was a pink cam

back and tied with a ribbon. The
stitches were large and uneven. the
cambria was soiled and the ribbon
old. She looked closely at the ribbon.
1t had been used, evidently as a hair
ribbon. Suddenly thought came to

The poinsettia. or Christmas plant
as 1t is better known. is one of the
most useful for Christmas deco2a-
tions, the bright red of the flowers
and green of the foliage giving the
true Christmas colors. This season
the plants appear lower than former
ly, and consequently are better suited
to table ornamentstion. AS a rule,
from six to twelve of the plants
come in one low, wide pot, which is
often incased in a red basket.
