 piece, valiss full of clothing and pocket book containing a small sum of money were the articles stolen. A description of the men suspec ed was giveu. and the officer requested to keep looknut for the parties ca arriving in Williams that evening, Marshal Patterson be- gan still hunt for the suspects. About II o'clock be ran across two men who answered fairly we'll the description given him of the SUD- posed burglars. although they had changed their personal appearsbce by donning different clothes abd hats than worn by them while in Flagstaff. Marshal Patterson cim- municated his suspicious to Con- sta bic Postle and it was decided to arrest the two suspects.
 When taken to jail and ques- tioned they gave their names as Grover Douglas and Homer Allen, one cook and bartender. the other sign painter. A careful search failed to discover any of the stolen iewelry on them. The officers ou the following day pursued the search with redoubled zeal, and succeeded in recovering the valise. It was found hidden at the house of woman of the underworld named Cora Day, with whom Doug las had formerly lived.
 The men were taken to Flagstaff Monday Notwithstanding the thorough .'frisking" given them while here in jail, the men man aged to conceal one of the diamonds, which was removed from the set setting. It was given a prisoner who was discharged from the coun- ty jail the day after Douglas and Allen were reincarceraled. The stone was brought to Williams and pawned The woman in the case, evidently running short of ready money, pawhed the other diamond. The officers recovered both gems.
 Two other men who are supposed to be implicated in the robbery were also arrested. One was ap- prehended at Prescott, the other st Gallup. N. M. Cora Day was also taken into custody. Douglas and Allen had hearing before Justice Harrington at Flsgstan and were held to the grand jury.
