ALLEGED THIEF JAILED.
From Saturdays pai1vl

Charged with tn etheft of a col lection of miscellaneous articles from the Linn Hotel, a man giving the name of Thomas King, was arrested and lodged in the city jail last night, at 10 o'clock, by Night Officer MeMahon. The prisoner will be ar raigned in the CIty Recorders court this evening at o'clock.
 King is alleged to have stolen a bridle, saddle, picks, shovels, brooms and mops from the hotel. The sad dle and bride were recovered by Officer MeMahon.

 c. W. Platt, the local manager of the Monarch, has maintained the strongest faith in the merits of the eompany's properties, and although there have been unexpected delays in placing the mine on a producing basis, he has never for a moment doubted the final outcome.
 The officers and directors of the company nave shared his confidence in the property and have never falt- cred in their determination to prove that confidence was well founded. The Monarch will undoubtedly take its place among the important pro ducing mines of Arizona before an- other year has elapsed. ,

 One of the significant facts in connection with the placing of this contract is that the shelter com pany accepts one-third of the pur- chase price in stock of the Monarch company stating that a thorough ex- animation of the property had con- vineed them that the Monarch was sure to make good and to prove a paying investment.

Longing to be with his aged mother, residing in Baltimore, Md, and wishing to see his two child ren, Joe Cans, the ex-champion light weight pugilist, accompanied by his wife, left the city at 12:35 o'clock this morning, seriously ill with tu- bereulosis. His physician, Dr. H. T. Southworth, will accompany MT. and Mrs. Cans to their old home.
 Interest follows the leaving of Cans after several weeks of resi- denee in the city, from the fact that he is eminent in pugilistic circles, and also from his demeanor while in Arizona. He is polite and eour- teous, and in his relations with peo- pie of all classes in Prescott since he arrived from Phoenix six weeks ago, both he and his wife have made many friends.
 Yeserday afternoon, eonversing with a representative of the Journal Miner he was emphatic in saying that he believed ne could not long survive, and believing that it was a matter of only a few weeks until the end came, he desired to close his earth ly career at the old home and with those so near and dear to him.

The trial took place the following tion, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder, fixng the penalty of death. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court of Arizona on appeal, which body later affirmed the decision of the lower court.
 Governor Sloan, who gives to the condemned man his life, was the pre- siding judge of the court that tried and found Spence gulty. After Gov ernor Sloan assumed the executive of flee, Judge E. NJ. Doe succeeded to the bench, and last June, on the re- ceipt of the remittitur from the Su- preme Court, fixed the day of ex- ecution as next Friday.
 Attorney R. P. Talbot, who, to- gether with A. L. Hammond, repre- sented Spence, has been working as- siduously in behalf of his client since sentence was pronounced, with the object of securing a communication of sentence, was successful in enlisting the active interest of many. intlu- ential persons in the East, and was influential in obtaining important al- fidavits.

wife, however, was reluctant to leave this city, saying that she was hope ful of a change, and faithfully be- lieved that the climatic benefits were conducive toward effeeting a cure if her husband would only appreciate this condition. She also stated that the trip made to Phoenix, last May, when they first came to Arizona, was ill advised. From the day that MT. Cans arrived in the southern city, he began to decline rapidly, and after a few weeks was compelled to leave, coming to this city.
 Since that time, he has improved slowly, and up to a few days ago was permitted to dress himself daily and to take walks for limited dis tances. But in the past four days he mas passed the greater portion of his time in bed, and when seen yesterday was in a depressed mood.
 He spoke in pleasant terms of the interest shown him while in the city, and appreciated the many kindnesses extended him and his wife. During their residence here they have been domiciled at the home of Mrs. Eliza Evans, who has materially assisted the stricken champion in providing every comfort possible, hoping for his restoration to health.

FRANK SPENCE IS SAVED FROM GALLONS

Spence left Missouri and went to Leadville, Colo, during the Lead vile excitement. He came to Pres colt from Leadville in 1881. This county has been his home since.
 Spence was a schoOlmate of Bisn- op Talbot of the Episcopal church, who is now head of the Episcopal di- ocese of Pennsylvania. He was also a sehoolmate of Governor Shaffroth, the present executive of Colorado, and also of the present attorney gen eral of that state. He also went to school with ex-Admiral Sebree of the United States navy.
 Former Governors Francis and Stone of Missouri are friends of the Spence families in Howard and Char iton counties.
 Spence was a principal in several shooting serapes since his arrival in Arizona. He shot at William Thomas, then superintendent of the county hospital and poor farm, and in a playful mood accidentally shot a miner named Tom Sullivan in a Prescott saloon several years ago. Spence, who was an expert pistol shot, was shooting holes through Sul- livan.'s hat, to make the latter dance, when one of the bullets went low, striking Sullivan on the top of the head. Sullivan partially lost his mental equilibrium and never re- gained it. He died recently in the county hospital.
 Spence is also said to nave shot at many tramps who called at his ranch west of the city, asking for food. He did not shoot to kill them, but, as he oftentimes said, "to see them run." .'-
 Spence has many good traits of character. He was serupulously hon est in his business dealings, and en- joyed a high standing among the business men of Prescott. It is said, and truthfully, that he never forgot a good turn, and was ever ready to assist in any way in his power any one who ever accommodated him in any way.

FIRST OF ALL, REPUBLICANS.


 Ohio has set an example that should gladden. the hearts of loyal Repub- licans throughout the country and that should encourage the emula- ton of the leaders in every state where the lines are closely drawn be- tween factions in the party. Ohio Republicans, after a fight that has been marked by bitterness at some stages, stand united today on a plat form which binds all factions in one harmonious party. In the light of the results of the convention at Co., lumbus, there can be no doubt as to the result in the Buckeye state next November; and the result in that state will be representative of the country at large.
 There has been a great deal of talk about a new party; it has been the delight of certain class of ed itors to harp upon the "internal dissensions" that augured the dis solution of the Republican party. That sort of talk has emanated al- most solely from Democratic sources and its origin is analogous to that of the whistling of the faint heated boy going through the deep, dark woods. Former Secretary Garfield and others have been mentioned, in Democratic editorial columns and in inspired news dispatches, as having ambitions to lead the new party. The break was going to be made in Ohio.
 MT. Garfield refused to allow his name to go before the convention. MT. Garfield participated in the con- ventiOn as a member of the Repub- hcan party. There were no signs of revolt.
 The factional differences were fought out in the primaries and in committee and when the time came for declaration of principles and naming of candidates, Progressive and Regular found common ground upon which to support the Repub- liean party.
 The platform has been pronounced good by the Regulars; 99 per cent good by the progressives. It en- dorsed President Taft. It approved the tariff. That much was to be expected. All the state blanks de- manded by the Progressives. except one, were adopted. That one was the demand for a law for the recall Of unfaithful public servants. Well, at Newark, the other day, they had an example of the rather effectual recall under the existing laws. Al. together, the platform is one upon which the candidates can go before the people without apology.

 On Saturday night, last, A. E. Av- fila was host at a rabbit dinner. The party took place at the Bowen camp, near MeCabe, and that camp was livelier on Saturday night than it would have been had the company been working three shifts. The camp was dressed in its best for the occasion. The host showed himself to be a student of femininity.
 All afternoon a slow drizzle had fallen, and "Duteh" knew the ladies would be in need of a dress ing room, and he fitted one up with his usual ingenuity. Mirrors, combs, brushes and curling tongs were there in plenty, enough to satisfy the van ity of his most fastidious guest.

Then MT. Bird tuned up his violin, and Doc. Bowen twanged his guitar, and the guests bade dull care adieu and danced till the "Wee, sma' hours" Of course, an Arizona party must wind up with a dance. Everyone voted he had had the jolliest, best time ever.

HOBBIES FOR LEGIsLATUREs


 Selecting men to frame constitu- tion, in some respects, is like se- Iecting a jury. Jurymen are con 1idered more or less of joke in some quarters, but the ideal of the law is that juror shall not be joke. The ideal juror is open minded. He may have opinions on the question involved in the trial upon which he sits, but he is open to conviction. There are still some men in the world who come up to this standard. The prospective juror may have no opinion on the cause at bar, but may have the faculty of judging the relative value of the ar guments presented and therefrom forming an approximately correct opinion, or at least one that will fulfill the requirements of equity. Such a man is an acceptable juror.
 It is that kind of a man who is qualified for constitution making. The man with an unalterable preju- dice should be kept out of the con- vention. The man who has but one idea, or one hobby, to which he would sacrifice all else, should be eliminated from constitution delib- erations. The man who lacks the faculty of sanely, logically, intelli- gently judging the relative merits of fundamentally constitutional ques- tions should have no part in the framing of the constitution.
 The real issue in the making of the constitution for the State of Arizona is not so muen what shall be put into the constitution as what shall not be. incorporated in that document. Governor Sloan has well said that the constitution should not tie the hands of future legislatures. It must be the foundation upon which future legislatures can, be establish ed. Experiments must be left to the representatives of the people who. shall be cnosen from time to time to make the laws of the State. Hence, the framers of the eonstitu- tion will not meet as legislators, but as state founders. They will lay the cornerstone of the commonwealth.
 The man who believes in the ab- solute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicants, he who advo- cates the initiative and referendum, the sufragette, all are entitled to a hearing, and all their ideas are proper for consideration in the dis cIfsion of constitutional subjects. Without passing upon the necessity or expedieney of putting these things in the constitution or leaving them out, we believe that it would be wrong to have the constitutional con- vention dominated by men who are inspired by any of these ideas to the exclusion of others, or who would
 No'A A41S dHN oHt UT IDe0 put into the. constitution at the ex- Pense of other things equally impor- tant.
 The men chosen to make the con- stitution must be open for convie- tion on all of these and all of the scores of other things that will be considered in connection with the framing of that document. They must not only be open to convictions. but they must be competent to judge of the value of the things that are put in. the constitution. The constitution must be characterized bv adherence to fundamental principles of law; let the future Legislatures ride the hobbies.
