of Monday nights ticket business, and also several tickets, among them one good anywhere on the main line, which he could fill out at pleasure for any destination on the road The money that ac- cumulated from ticket sales up till g o'clock Monday night was put in the safe, otherwise he would have made bigger haul. Several checks made out to Agent Buckbee, he did not meddIe with. He also neglected to settle several little ac- counts about town for board, room and purchases. It is supposed he got out on freight before day break Tuesday morning. Agent Buck bee traced him to Moqui, and special officers are now close on his trail. As he was under bond, the railroad company will lose mo- thing, but it is not presumed the bond company will rest until he is brought to account. It is learned this (Friday) morning that Brown was apprehended last night in New Mexico.
 Arizona Republican: The Ari- zona Portland Cement Company pu! in their first days work yes terday on the new cement mill which they are going to build two miles across the river from Tempe. The first timbers were put in place and from now on the work will go on merrily until the mill is com pleted. The engineers of the cement company and the railroad officials met and made all arrange ments for side track or spur to be run from the main line over to the plant and work on this track will immediately begin. The new mill is near the government power line and as it will take four hun dred horsepower to run the engines of the new mill, the power will be furnished them by the government, in consideration of a certain sum of money. The building of this mill would have commenced some time ago but was delayed owing to some trouble encountered in pur- chasing the land but this difficulty has been overcome and a clear deed given. Once the mill is in opera ton it ia expected to produce at least five hundred barrels of cement per day, and this will be a big item for this country as it is the first project of the kind ever started here.

 Williams News: The blockade which IS generally established at the railroad crossing leading to the depot will no doubt result in the killing of some of our residents un- less the city coun ,il takes some action to see that the residents and business men have some way in getting across the tracks, for at the present time the crossings are blocked just as long as the train crews see fit to block 1t, which necesoitates those people who have urgent business to transact, to climb between the cars, while the rigs have to drive to the other end of town in order to get across. Train Master E. H. Dultield hap. pened to be an eye witness on Wednesday evening when the cross ing was blocked about thirty mi nutes, and he instructed the brake man to cut the crossing and to see that this crossing was kept clear; but the same blockade was in force the next day,
 Arizona Republican: There are two very important facts well un- derstood by quite a number of Phoenix people that should be very strongly impressed on the. minds of those who are yet blind to them. One is that Phoenix needs a lot more dwelling houses of all kinds, big and little, and the other is that if the Phoenix people will cO-ope- rate through the means already at hand, they can do much toward supplying the need at good profit to themselves. A lot of people are building fine homes right now; more than ever before and a lot more are able and will do so in the near future. This is all good and should be encouraged by every body. But there are a lot more people who haven't the money to build a whole house or perhaps a half of one. Part of them need houses of their own very badly and part of them have no need for houses, but they can find a good investment for the few dollars they have saved by placing it with the Home Builders association, which in turn can build the houses for those who need them.

THE MAN IN THE STAGE.
A Tragedy Of the oldsn Days In New

ever. the stnge came to an abrupt
stop, the door was opened, and three
young men entered. One of the three
for his companions were obliged to
help him TO his seat. The door was
closed behind them, and the stage con.
tinued Its journey northward.
About ten blocks farther on one OF
the young men rose and. bidding his
friends good night stopped the stage
and alighted. A few minutes later
the second of the three said. well,
good night, Dick" pulled the strap,
stepped to the sidewalk and walked

There remained In the stage only the
husband aud wife and the young man
who was obviously under the iuhu-
ence OF liquor and who sat in n
crouchlng attitude In n corner of tho
stage under the dim nlckerlng lamp.
After time the husband noticed
that the young mans head seemed te
be dropping as II In sleep, aud, fearing
that he might be borne beyond his
destination he rose, tapped him on the
shoulder aud called attention TO the
number OF the street they had Just
pissed. There was no response. and
the husband repeated his words. lean
ing over as he did so. Then he sud
denly Strengthened up, turned to his
wife and said quietly, eve will get

She began TO protest. but he simply
repeated the words. pulled the strap

turned questioningly and asked him
