Then Mr. Peck explained Just what
the agreement under the franchise was
regarding the division of profits with
the Territory and how all over a re-
t1rn of eight per cent. would be di-
vided, but he asserted that this eight
per cent. had never been reached and
consequently there was nothing to
divide.
He spoke somewhat of what he
called the "public animus'I. which
had manifested itself recently, and es.
pecially mentioned letter in The
Advertiser from Mr.. Ashford (pub.
lished Monday, but added he thought
this must be due to misapprehension
as to the payment of the eight per
cent, and how some people imagined
that every time a conductor took up
a nickel part of it was due the Ter
ritory.
To emphasize the reason why the
company is seeking an extension of
the franchise Mr.. Peek called atten-
tion to the improvements and exten.
sions, which have taken up so much
of the profits that the stockholders
could not be reimbursed.

Territory was when Mr.. Peek submit.

FINE RECORD.
Non. Fletcher M. Doan, Republican
 Nominee for Supreme Judge.

Q candidate for Justice of the Su- pTeme Court, is one of the oldtime residents of Arizona. He has lived along the Mexican border from the southwest to the southeast corner Di the territory for twentv-four years fourteen years of which he has served on the Supreme Bench. He has regularly held courtin more counties of the territory than dny other judge, and is personally known 10 as many miners and coW- men as any man in Arizona
 He was admitted to practice law baiore the Supreme Court of New York in 1868, and in Missouri,in 1869, where he practiced until com lDg to Arizona in 1888.
 He first stopped at the point in Yuma county, which the Govern znent Record shows to bo the hottest place in the territory, and after try ing to develop an irrigation enter prise for several years, moved to Pinal county, where there was more water and less heat, and served lhere as District Attorney from 1894 until 1896, since which time he has been serving on the Supreme Bench.
 While his Yuma county exper- fence cost him his savings of twen- ly years, it taught him that grass does not grow in Arizona without Bater; and it also showed him the way to build di!ches and canals for Arizona ranchers. The great value OS bis decisions on the water ques- aS0n is due to the fact that he knows as well how to build a mud'tapon" ss he does to draw complaint call ing for more water.
 There is a ''heap of human na- tBre" in Judge Doan and "some irish" and the fact that he used lo.1o grading work when a young Ia4n left him with knowledge on the rDsl of moving dirt" In mining Eoils before him he he often insists BD being "shown" the place where lhe work was done and he can gen. erally estimate the cost so closely that those who know him do not lTy job" him more than once. On one occasion, when there was much conflicting evidence as to the cost oB driving a tunnel, he adjourned Court, and went up against the face of the tunnel and worked a shift Si,b pick and shovel and wheelbar- TOw, to see whether the tunnel was iD picking ground or "shootin' gJOand." It was an unusual but a cure way of getting at the truth, and, needless to say, there vas no appeal from his decision.
 The cowmen llknow and swear by Judge Doan for they talk to him jD the language of the plains, and know he understands and is one of them.
 In d recent case in Court, wit ness was an old time stockman whom Judge Doan had known for years. The Judge thought he was stretching the evidence little and asked him if he really would swear 10 what he was saying He looked lhe Judge square in the eye, and said, s"Sure, Judge, and PIl go slfonger yet, Pll bet on it" Judge Doan understood and was satisfied He never overlooks anything that 4 t., T

is "BURLINGTON SLIM"
One of the Yeggmen Captured for
East Burke Break Has Bad
Criminal Record.

Considerable interesting data has
been gathered during the past week
by States Attorney Simonds, con-
cerning William Sheean, one of the
yeggmen lodged IN county jail a
week ago last Friday. From the in
formation now at hand it seems
probable that the roundup made by
the local authorities, is an important
one and that the men arrested are
wanted in many different sections
for some slick jobs of burglary.
1t is known that Sheean has done
time once in New Hampshire and
twice in Vermont serving three
years in '96 for burglary and one
year or more in Rutland for robbery.
His time in New Hampshire was the
result of shooting scrape in a
saloon in Concord.
The States Attorney has already
connected Sheean with several post
Office jobs in the west. His profes
sional name is Burlington SLIM"
James Sheehan, alias Vermont
Slim, alias Burlington Slim, was
taken into municipal court Tuesday
and two charges of burglary made
against him. Judge Porter bound
him over to county court fixing his
bail at $1,000 on each charge and
he was taken back to jail.
Sheean's confederate, who gave
the name of E. P. Schooply, has been
surrendered for a bank job in Mas
sachusetts.

Arthur Langmaid Charged With
Taking Team From Parties
in Newark.

Arthur Langmaid was brought to
ST. Johnsbury last Thursday after
noon, having been arrested on a
charge of stealing a horse, wagon,
etc., in Newark.
1t is alleged that Langmaid went
to the pasture of Jesse Simpson and
took therefrom horse belonging to
Simpson. He then proceeded to the
house, where he stole 81 in cash,
going next to the barn, where he
appropriated a harness. His rig
now being rather incomplete his next
raid was upon the premises of Her
bert Beck about a mile from Simp-
sons, where he hitched into bug
gy. He then proceeded about two
miles farther, where he broke into
a shed belonging to AdoIphus Fox
and added another harness to his
collection. Being now provided with
a team to his liking, Arthur started
on an extended visiting trip to
friends in other parts.
Thursday morning Simpson noti-
fed H. G. Packer of that section,
who called up States Attorney Si-
monds. Deputy Leonard Of West
Burke was notified and at once got
busy, and assisted by Mr.. Packer
traced Langmaid to a haymow in
Newark, where he was arrested. Evi-
IDENTIFY getting wise to his pursuers,
Langmaid returned the wagon and
embarrassed the horse, turning the
animal loose in the road. A harness
which he hid in the woods, was
found by the officers.
Langmaid was taken before NUM-
cipaI Judge Porter yesterday and
charged with two cases of grand
larceny The judge bound him over
to appear before the grand jury in
the sum of $3.50 on each charge. He
was unable to furnish bail and was
taken to jail.

A NEW HOTEL SCHEME.
st. Johnsbury House Property May
Be Used For a Modern HosteIry.

OSs AOOA7C AOPOASJ NA0S
Be Used For Modern Hostelry.
While little has been said about
a new hotel for ST. Johnsbury this
season the project has not been dead
and the committee appointed by the
Commercial club over year ago has
been quietly working on the scheme.
At present there seems to be little
prospect of a large summer hotel
as has been discussed as ST. Johns
bury would not raise large enough
proportion of the required capital to
interest outside investors.
Consequently the committee be-
gan considering plans for using the
st. Johnsbury House property for a
modern hotel and an option has been
secured ON the property. One party
has promised to furnish $4,000 of
the $4,000 that it is felt necessary
to raise in order to take over the
property and construct a desirable
hostelry. No definite plans have
been made regarding a new house
but it is probable an effort will be
made very soon to determine wheth-
er the necessary capital can be Sc
cured.

Man With Criminal Record Caught

Now in County Jail.
Now in County Jail

Now in County Jail.
Considerable excitement was caus-
ed on the fair grounds last Thurs
day, just as the south bound train
was about to leave. Charles Darling
of South Ryegate cried that he was
being robbed when a man started on
a run for the train. The alarm
spread rapidly and soon the suppos-
ed robber was being pursued by
score or more of volunteers, the
chase gaining in excitemnt as the
game proceeded. Under, around and
over cars it went, until Carl Clark
caught the fellow by the leg, pulled
him from under car and proceeded
to choke him. 1t finally dawned
upon Clark that he was ignorant of
any offence committed by his victim
and he mercifully turned him over to
Deputy James Craigie of South Rye
gate. The two boarded the train,
where Craigie made the arrest and
turned his man over to Deputy
Scott Fellows at Wells River, who
brought the prisoner back to ST.
Johnsbury on the night train.
There were four other men on the
grounds Wednesday whom Simonds
was satisfied were pickpockets. They
were rounded up and escorted from
the grounds.
The prisoner who gave his name
to the officers first as George Brown
of Newport and later as Charles
Mack of Montreal was taken before
