CHARGED AS
 ACCESSORIES In Escape of Jose Romero
 From Jail SLAYER 0F VALENzUELA Angel and Enrique Moriet- ta Arraigned Yesterday Before Justice Inwin For a Crime Committed Three Years Ago
SLAYER 0F vALENzUELA

Another chapter in what was one of the most atrocious murders ever committed in Mesa precinct was that of yesterday when Angel and Enri que Morrieta were arrested on a complaint charging them with as sisting Jose Romero to break out of of the town jail at this place on the night of July 31. 1907, after he had dealt death blow to Francisco Valenzuela with two by four timber during a drunken brawl.
 Romero a few days ago returned from Mexico where he has been in hiding when he was arrested in Phoepix on a charge of murder and to which charge it is understood that he has pleaded guilty claiming that the blow was struck in self defense. After being incarcerated in the coun- ty jail Romero began to talk, first duplicating three well known Mex jeans who were former residents of Mesa but who since that time have died and of course could not be made to answer to the complaint of as 'sisting in the jail delivery. The men accused in the first confession of Romero were Mendebles and Acuna.
 The arraignment of the Morrieta brothers was held yesterday morning in Justice Irwins court resulting in their being given over to the sher- iffs charge for safe keeping until next Tuesday morning when they will have their preliminary examination. The two men were taken to Phoenix on the noon train yesterday by Of ficer Burton.
 The crime with which Romero is charged and to which he has con fessed, only that he contends self de- fense, occurred near the north side school building on the evening of July 31, 1907. The men were drink ing and were seen quarreling as they advanced north. Finally their words led to blows whereupon Romero picked up a piece of timber and struck Valenzuela directly across the bridge of the nose, the corner of the timber striking directly across the eyes. The timber for days covered with the blood stains and human hair was allowed to remain in the city where it was intended to be used as evidence in the event that Romero should be intercepted. However, the temporary successful escape of the criminal lessened the value of the weapon and it was finally lost.
 Romero and his victim were taken to the jail. Romero escaped during the first night of his captivity and Valenzuela was taken to the county SofI s,-I, ha hn of August ?.
 The officers are diligently collect ing evidence in the case and it is probable that the case will come up at this place some time next week.

BERT VINEGAR RESIGNS
 FROM WELLS-FARGO
End of Continuous Fifteen Year
 Service.

After fifteen years continuous ser vice as local agent of the Wells Fargo Express company, Bert Win
 gar has handed in his resignation which will take effect September 1st. MT Wingar has accepted a position with the II. Woods company of Chi cago as solicitor or superintendent of shipping, d similar line of work as that of NJ. NJ. Cox who annually comes to this place to look after the shipping of cantaloupes for the Woods commission company.
 Mir Wingar left last night for Pas adena for visit with his family who are summering on the coast and will return next week and make preparations to go to Colorado to look after the shipping of peaches for his firm. While the line of work in. which MT. Wingar has engaged will take him all over the United States his home and his headquarters will be in Mesa. He will retain his property here and will continue to hold his property here none of it being for sale.
 The growth of the business of the Wells Fargo locally under the care of MT. Wingar has ben phenomenal within the past five years When he began work as local agent here fif- teen years ago all express was haul ed on the bus. Phil Nets at that time carrying all express at the rate of five dollars per month for sev- eral years. The railroad had just been cOmDIeted tO this Dlace and CX- press packages came in at the rate of a dozen a week during the busy season. As an evidence of the growth of the business last summer or a year ago last summer might be used as examples. X car throughout the fruit season was sidetracked at this place for the business of the express company. Mesa is the only town in the southwest where this practice prevailed. Not only was the single car utilized but grapes as well as cantaloupes left here by express for the eastern markets not only last year but for the past several years.
 The business during the first years of Mir. Wingar's service would not aggregate over three thousand dollars per annum while this has been in creased to many thousands of dol lars annually While the Wells Far go will continue to do business as before the local trade for long time will continue to associate the with the name of Bert Wingar. No successor has as yet been named for this place

There was too much weather Fri day eveningito make a good show night at the airdome and though it cleared up later in the evening, there was too much dampness on the interior of the airdome to warrant the management giving a performance.

Manager Donovan announces, however, that the usual Monday evening performance will be given, the weather permitting, and that it will make up in excellence for the shortage of two shows this week.
