THE PURSUING PossEE.
A Special With Men and Horses Hur-
 ried to the Scene.

On the first report of the robbery it was said that the bandits had taken the mail but that was afterward shown to have not been the case. They had only sought for cash. Watches and other valuables which might cas- iIy be identified were either not re- moved from the pockets Of passen- gers or were thrown on the floor.
 AS soon as possible after the affair was reported to the office of the sher- if a posse was formed and left on a special about eight o'clock. It consist ed of Sheriff Hayden and Deputies Adams, Woolf. Billy Wilson. Consta- ble Murphy and Deputy Sheriff Sur gis of Globe, Marion McCann. Officer Sullivan, Superintendent Scott and Sheriff Nelson of Pima coun- ty who happened to be in the city and was going to take the evening train for home when he heard of the robbery. Six horses were taken along
 It was of course, impossible to begin the chase last night but it was in tended to take it mp with the first break of day.
 The officers realized that there were several things the robbers might do: they might have had horses in the brush near where they left the train and try to get over the border about seventy miles away; they might go down the Gila toward Yuma or if familiar with the country might go up the river into the Pinal mountains in tapdipo fo make their way into the more inaccessible region beyond. Or they might have no horses, intending to make their way into Phoenix after night. The last course was the one that the officers dreaded the most as it was the only one that offered much prospect of escape

The Herald soe. to press this

The Herald goes to press this
afternoon shy the usual amount Of
reading matter owing to a new
typographical contract presented
not being signed until 2 o'clock,
the forenoon being taken up In
conference with the committee.
We have not space to go into the
matter this afternoon but tomor-
row will give a statement for the
benefit Of all concerned.
The Democrat failed to publish
this morning, the owner. D. r.
Day, refusing to sign union con-
tract. Mr.. Day claims the right
to run his office with union men
without signing a contract, thus
practically making II an open shop.
There were a few minor points but
nothing that should not be settled.
Tho writer differs with Mr.. Day
In this respect. We have always
believed in union shop, the ques-
tlon regarding The Herald being
as to the rights Of the owner to
perform certain work in the COM
posing room.
The Herald is lending its CO.
operation this afternoon in trying
to settle the differences between
the Democrat and its men SO a
paper can be issued tomorrow
morning as usual, and as praoti-
cal printer, will endeavor to see
that the Democrat receives the
same honest work that we are en-.
titled to and expect to receive, SO
far as the union is concerned. Il
Is not conducive to the good Of the
city or this southwest to have a
long drawn out newspaper labor
war because II engenders iIl-feei-
ing between the various interests
and we would rather surrender
some of the rights we believe due
US than to have the community
rent by labor dissensions.

coLoRAoo THE BEST THERE !:

COLORADO THE BEST THERE is.
c. d. Alexander. manager of the dry
goods department al Graden's is back
again from a trip east made for the
purpose of purchasing his regular
stock of fall and winter goods for his
department. Mr.. Alexander says that
the garment workers strike has had
an enormous effect on certain kinds
OF business. 1t naturally would do
so, when we remember that 60 900
people were out of work for nine
months.
There was great suffering among the
strikers, and any number of evietions
took place daily, since the people were
unable to pay their rent Sadowsky,
the biggest cutter of cloth in New
York City. with capacity of 1000
garments daily, was idle oil that time,
so the loss TO the firms may be esti-
mated without difficulty When Mr..
Alexander lett New York. the strike
was still on. and all of the large houses
said that it was not safe to leave an
order, as in case of q settlement the
next day. the work could not be de.
llvered until November.
The smaller concerns could not af.
ford to hold out and signed mp with
the strikers, but the demands OF the
union in the case of the larger firms
seemed in many instances unreason-
able. Mr. Alexander said that he saw
an order issued by the union. which
said, You will be compelled to pay
cutters by the week. You will rein.
state so-and-so,' and walking delegates
would be in charge of the workroom.
That is, a man may not have any.
thing to say as to what shall be done
in his own workroom.
Every one looks for a good fall this
year, although goods will be high
Last week cotton touched the highest
point it has reached since the civil
war. Manufactured goods will be
scarcer than usual on account of the
nigh price of the raw material The
Amoskeag cotton mills, the largest
and most reliable manufacturers of
apron check in the United States have
closed for two months, and few in
stances of the kind will soon be felt
ir the trade.
Mr.. Alexander said he was gratified
to note that everyone from here to
New York speaks OF Colorado as the
most prosperous state in the Union.
We hear considerable complaint at
home, much kicking over general con.
ditions but east, west and north OF
us, we find that Colorado bears the
reputation of being the most prosper.
GUS and in better material condition
than any other state. Colorado is ap-
parently less affected by outside in.
fluences.
While on account OF the strike con.
ditions many buyers did not, this year.
go farther east than Cincinnati and
Cleveland. Mr.. Alexander said he was
more fortunate in securing goods. He
bought largely, and stayed over to see
the material being made up. The
stock will be unusually good this year,
and in spite of troubles in the east.
here will be no delay in the arrival
ot the goods. In n shori time the

of ladies' suits and skirts for their
customers. In both of these the new
