 promptly reported to the police
 About 4 o'clock in the afternoon Of
 ficer Brooks came upon a group of
 six boys eating from two gallon cans
 of tomatoes in the alley itack of the
 Edelweiss cafe. They were Mexicans
 and most of them known to the off
 cer as offenders who had been at
 various times in bis hands for petty offenses. He believed the tomatoes
 toleu from the Eidelweiss but ln-- Guiry there resulted in the statement that nothing was missing and he was obliged to content himself with order ing the boys or, telling them they could not eat in the street. They
 started up the alley. Subsequent de velopments indicate that they went only as far as the rear of the Bux-
 ton,SrIith buildings, where they gained by prying an alley window open. Inside they rummaged but found nothing they wanted.
 Leaving the Buxton-Smith building the Eoys went to the Harrison build.
 ing and gaining entrance through a
 hack window proceeded to trap door
 leading into the office at the front.
 This door they pried open. In the office they found the safe unlocked and getting out the money drawer emptied it Of money and checks. A little drawer next to the money drawer contained about $500 worth of iewelry. which the thieves overlooked.
 Taking their office booty and a num- Der of bottles of soda pop from the
 ware room they passed to the alley and deliberately sat down and got away with the pop. Also they built a small fire and attempted to Eurn the checks, but were evidently frightened away before completing the job.
 It was after this that the two cid CT boys are alleged by those under arrest to have left to rob the HenkeI store the second time.
 This robbery occurred sometime be. tween and , o'clock yesterday morning Officers Wilmoth and Clio son passed the store and Wilmoth tried the door at 4. There was noth- ing wrong at that time. At , when he| passed the store he saw that the large plate glass facing the entrance had been broken, there being a hole near the size of a mans head. He at once called up MT. Henkel, who on reaching the store found that a Wal than 2l jewel watch was missing from the window There were other things the thief might have taken, but tis was the most valuable within his reach. Whether it was all that was wanted or because of the ap- preach of some one that more was not taken can only be surmised. The appearance of the hole in the plate glass indicates that it was made with a rock wrapped in a rag or sack and swung with such force that it went clear through the window. making a clean hole. The watch taken was valued at s225.
 When the Harrison store robbery was reported yesterday morning, with the statement attending that pop had r. cen stolen and the empty bottles found in the alley, Officer Brooks im- mediateIy remembered the boys and sent out their descriptions along with request for arrest About three o'clock yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff rBakefield recognized the boys in a Lowell restaurant, where they were eating. He placed them under y,I 4nTa fr. Eg VI n went after them Charged with the Harrison robbery the boys gave up silver and gold to the amount of more than $100 Subsequently Allie Howe searched them in jail and turned out more than $50 in bilis which had been crammed in their shoes. It was after this that they told the story of what had happened and that the officers went to Naco and verified the de- parture for Cananea of two boys ans wering the description of those wanted. Steps have been taken to the end Of securing their return, but t is doubtful if this can be accom- plished under present conditions.
 The boys under arrest assert that their escaped companions had brace lEkS VI ALn NatlA gEHAEtNaf anu -ANAa this it is thought they may have com mitted the Henkel robbery in the morning. despite the statement that a man ran from the back of the store. However, there is also reason to 0e- Iieve that a Mexican missing from the city since Sunday morning may have committed this robbery. If so he IS new probably in Sonora. Search for him so far has disclosed no trace. Of the yesterday morning robbery there is also question as to whether the oys committed 1t.

 The limit of punishment the courts may extend the boys is in sentence to the reform school.
