 The Greek had talked rather freely before leaving Phoenix of his money and his prospects in the California city, and on the train between Phoe- nix and Maricopa he was in cOnver- Sation with two men, evidently Coun- trymen and with whom he seemed on friendly terms. These men could not be found after the hold up.
 Sam's reputation while in this city is said to have been of the best. He purchased goods from the Donofrio- Bury company, paid his bills promptly, and attended strictly to business.
 His injuries arc not serious. He was cared for last night at McCarthy's ho- tel in Maricopa.

THE MAGIC OF 4 sIPHON

When pipe shaped like the in
verified letter U, in which the arms
are of equal length, is filed with
water. and each end of the pipe is
put into separate vessel full of
water. 1.-The downward pull" or
weight Of the liquid in each of the
two arms will balance the other,
and. if the water is at the same
level in the two vessels. it will re-
main at that level in both vessels.
But if the level of the water in one
vessel is lower than in the other,
since The two vessels are connected
with pipe full of water, the water
will run down from the higher
level to the lower. This consti-
tutes what is called a eiphon. A
siphon itself has no more magic
about it than pencil has when it
falls. or than any other similar
phenomenon IT, nature, yet some of
the siphon's manifestations seem to
be not only magical, but almost
incredible.-St. Nicholas Magazine.

ESCAPED CON- HAS VANISHED

Captain Donn'elley of the State
Police. who with others has been
active in recapturing escapes and
evil doors, states that there is no
trace of Riley Wooten who escaped
from the ruad camp sumo weeks
ago. AS the matter has been
investigated it is clear to all who
heve been interested that he was
either furnished with a horse or
an auto whisked him out of the
section. 1t is also believed that
he was furnished new clothing and
thus avoided the telegraphic de-
scriptions as sent out. 1t is the
general belief that he returned to
the eastern states, as he had work
ed as mechanic in number of
plases. He is an expert blacksmith
and was handy man at the camp.
