CAUGHT DIGGING HOLE
 IN WALL

If the territorial prison at Florence had a lake around it, and if the prison officers had not been watch full enough to see the preparations made by some enterprising criminals for escape, the leap planned and never made by Edmund Dantes from the Chatteau diff would have been performed in Arizona, says the Phoe- nix Republican.
 Last week. when Deputy Sinnott was making the rounds of a corridor in the prison he observed small par tieles of morter on the floor. h. vestigations showed that the first layer of brick from the inner wall had been removed. To ascertain who the would-be jail breakers were, Sin mott said nothing. but kept watch During the three days watch he learned that Robertson and Mccoy were actually doing the work and that W. J. Lyman was constantly about the door. Lyman was not seen participating in digging through the wall. but Deputy Sinnott's sus- p;ciOns were aroused by his presence near the entrance door so much of the time. keeping himself in position to warn Robertson and Mccoy of the approach of anyone from the outside.
 A hole large enough to admit of the passage of a man. was almost through the 2-foot brick wall when the deputy walked in at an oppor- tune time on the prisoners. catching them at actual work.
 Carefully preserving parts of the outer brick, when not working they patched up the opening so as to al most challenge detection. Cotton. taken from the mattresses of a bed, was used to initiate the white nor tar between bricks. Common sticks were used to dig and pry out the brick.
 Robertson and Mccoy are thought to have records in the criminal world. They are the pair that was recently arrested at Maricopa for burglary. and escaping from the improvised iaiI. committed a similar offense be- fore being captured.
  There is a slight chance for them to avoid appearing before the court of Pinal county at the October term.

PECULIAR CURVE IN WALKER
 HOG CASE
From Tuesdays DaiIyJ


 Whether a justice of the peace has the right to refuse an appeal in lawsuit that involves a nominal sum in the valuation of property af- feeted, is puzzling Judge R. E. John son, of Walker precinct. This off eial arrived in the city yesterday to present the matter before Judge E. M. Doe, of the district court, in view of a controversy that has recently arisen over his action in refusing j.. N. Duncan to appeal from the de- eision of jury, which gave a yer. diet to Victor StrOm a short time ago, when the latter instituted re- plevin proceedings to recover a Po- land China hog, which was awarded to him in very interesting trial The hog in question is said to have got out of the pen of Strom and in- to one owned by Duncan, several miles away from its original habita- tlon. Six months intervened between departure of the rooter and it's identi- Judge Johnson says the in- terests of the county are amply pro. tected in a bond from each in the sum of $l00 to insure the territory from any action being taken to re- cover or hold an animal that is valued at only S15.

Disappears Immediately After Remarrying
 Divorced Wife
FLEECES NUMBER OF FORMER FRIENDS AND OTHERS
 IN FLAGSTAFF.
(From Tuesdays Daily

Robert c. Arnold, arrested and brought to Prescott about two weeks ago from Flagstaff, for failing to provide for his two minor children, has outwitted the law, after playing one of the most ingenious and cruel tricks that has ever been known in the county. Knowing that he faced the inevitable for the neglect of two small boys, who were being poorly provided for with the seanty means of their divorced mother, Arnold in his desperation to escape a solemn duty, remarked Mrs. Arnold and left for the north a few hours afterward, pro- claiming his love as in other days, and stating that he would make pro visions for the caring of all in the above city immediately. He had a position as maehinist at $4.5O a day, and when he stepped on the train his demeanor was impressive of the affection that he bore for his indulg- ent wife and their two little boys of eight and twelve years. With an effeetionate parting, Arnold was soon on the road. He kept on going, with the exception of one day that he passed in Flagstaff, to gather in some money from unsuspeeting friends, using the story that his wife and family were to join him in a few days. Arnold left Flagstaff on the night train, again saying that he was coming to Prescott and would return in a few days, backing up his assertion by displaying the marriage certificate. The matter finally reach ed official channels and an effort is being made to effect his capture again. He is said to have passed through the Needles, and is supposed to be somewhere on the coast. His wife and children are in deplorable circumstances in this city, and are without means of support. Deputy Sheriff Keeler has been on the main line of the Santa Fe in an effort to effect the capture of Arnold, who has outwitted the officers just as effect lively as when his cunning asserted itself so successfully in this city a few days ago.
