COTTON THIEVES ARE JAILED
A COUNTRY AND TWO DAWSON
NEGROES ARE IN THE TOLLS.
Loaded Wagon on Woodley Farm
Wednesday Night, and Soon After
wards Wore in Sheriff's Custody.


wards Were in Sheriff's Custody.
For some time MI J, NJ. Woodleg,
whose farm is below Chickasaw-
hatchee and eight miles from Daw-
son, has suspected that cotton left
in his fields at night was being stol-
en-, and recently he asked the assist
ance of Sheriff Hill in capturing the
thieves.
The sheriff went to work on the
/ case anu brought 1t to successful
uclimaX about IL o'clock Wednesday
night, when he, with Mr.. E. T.
4 Woods, took in custody on the Wood
/ ley farm Atlas and Henry How
ard, two Dawson negroes, who had
1 their wagon loaded with 500 or 600
! pounds of seed cotton and were head
! ed toward the city.
Their explanation of their posses
/ sion of the cotton was that they had
/ been employed by Jesse Searcy ten
ant on the farm this year, to move
him to Kiokee, in Lee county, and
after reaching his house Searcy, in
stead of moving that night decided
to have them bring load Of cotton
that he said belonged to him to
Jesse Sessions, another Dawson.-ne-
gro.
The two Towards and Searcy were
brought to Dawson and lodged in
Jail The evidence against them, 1t
is understood, is conclusive, as they
were seen to load the cotton by par
ties who were concealed at con-
venient place for that purpose.
Mr.. Woodley had suspected all the
season that his cotton was being stol-
en-, and is satisfied that he has lost
large quantities of it.
Another Arrest.
Henry Crawford, another negro,
was brought in Thursday and lodged
in Jail on the charge of being party
to the theft.

TRAVEL ID PHOENIX
 WILL BE VERY CHEAP
Trade Extension Movement Will
 Shortly be Under Way.

Everybody will soon be riding free to Phoenix provided he spends his money with the merchants in the Phoenix Trade Extension movement, instead of sending it to foreign mail order concerns.
 The first big newspaper advertise ment will appear in a few days an nouncing the date upon which the free fare plan will go into effect This advertisement will show a Vari- ety of merchandise in the Phoenix market so great that any conceiv- able want may be supplied The names and addresses of the mer- chants carrying the respective lines will appear under appropriate al phabetical headings so that the wis iting buyer can see at a glance where to find the particular things he wishes to buy. Both thke news paper ads and the special advertis- ing features to be issued will make the plan so simple that a child can understand it.
 While the object and purpose of refunding the railroad fare of visit ing customers is. primarily, to in duce trade. it is not with the sole purpose of present profit The larger purpose. and indeed the most i'm portant one. is to promote the mutual interests of the people of the state and the Phoenix market as repre- scented by the merchants in the new trade boosting plan. In other words, it is intended to prove that it is for the best interests of everybody in this state that Arizona money should be kept in Arizona To that end the policy of the allied mer- chants is to cultivate the good opin- ion of good people everywhere: to See that the visiting buyer is so treated while in Phoenix that he will come again; and particularly to offer lines of merchandise selected to suit the special requirements of this particular section. and at prices that, quality for quality. are at least as low, and in most cases lower than the same quality of goods can be obtained from any other available source of supply
 When the new plan goes into eff feet, the fact that visitors railroad fare is to be refunded to him by the bank, will in no way affect the price-in fact. the merchant will not know the fare is to be refunded until after the purchase is made.
 The new organization is now work ing out a plan of cooperation with the merchants throughout the state for mutual protection against the in- roads of he foreign mail-order con cerns. One feature of the plan will be an appeal to the mind and con science of every taxpayer and oi every citizen who contributes to ou1 churches, charities. and other loca | intrests and to the self interest ot every other citizen who possesses tho slightest familiarity with the ele- mentary principles of economies, tC | stand behind and support the mer- chants who stand for keeping Arizona 1 money in Arizona.
