STOLEN GRAIN.

Charged with the theft of sixty sacks of grain from his employer P. Perez was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Constable R. C. Estrada and later given a hearing before Justice of the Peace E. P. Carr. Perez has been em- plOycd for some time by F.. J. FIumer- felt at his ranch five miles sOuthea st of town and at the time of the disap- pearanCe of the grain was sleeping in the field as a guard. Yet he knows nothing of the grain. when it was taken or where it is. and still he was sleeping on the stack. The court has found it impossible to fix any evidence of his guilt and in consequence his case has been discharged to await further developments. Flumerfelt alleges that the grain was taken from the field on the night of the twenty seventh but be- yond that all points that would tend to apprehend the guilty party or parties are lacking. The officers are still at work on the case and will visit Phoenix in it's interest today.
