SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY INTER.

eH6O WI f.-DepulS SHtElll Adams and an officer from Tucson arrived yesterday afternoon with what was mistaken at first for the Tenth dismounted cavalry. U. $. A. They seemed to have corraled all the strange negroes in the territory. The officers and corridors of the sheriffs quarters were filled with them. They had been brought from a sugar beet field in the Buckeye country. where they had recently been employd. A valise had been stolen from railroad car between Tucson and Nogales and one or more negroes of the party had been connected with the theft. The Tucson officer was certain that only one man was guilty of the theft, but the trouble was to pick the one man out of the party. But after some in- quiry the finger of suspicion, which had been wavering. became steady and pointed at one John Williams. He was locked up, and also a boy who. it was thought. might have hac something to do with the disposition of the contents of the grip. The rest were turned loose and the two pris- oners were taken to Tucson last night.
