find his passengers the driver made e detour of all the streets in the vii cinity and failed to find them.
 The girls then made their way on foot to Tempe where they hired buggy and team. telling the owner that they wished to drive out in the country a short istance to visit a relative who sick, and they promised to return with in a few hours. After leaving Tempe, the girls drove direct to Florence and continuing on their way through the town headed for Superior with the in tentfon of taking the trail over the Mountains, past Walnut Springs to the Ray road. Just before they got to the mountains Sinnett who had been told to look out for them saw them and placed them under arrest. The horse was in such a worn out condition that
 it had to be left at ranch near where
 the girls were captured.
 Constable Jim Murphy and Under
 Sheriff Billy WOOlf left Phoenix early yesterday morning and brought the
 girls back from Florence in an auto
 mobile, arriving in Phoenix at noon.
 The girls were locked up in the county
 jail pending their removal to the re-
 form school at Aenson
 The girls said that they made their
 escape from the CrittentOn Home so
 that they would be sent to the reform
 school as they had heard that there was more liberty there and that they would also be taught some useful oc- cupatiOn which would fit them for a better position in life than they could now occupy. They said that after phOning to the COmmercia5 Hotel they became scared and started to walk to Tempe They said that they had no difficulty in getting the team and buggy from the livery stable in Tempe
 as they gave the names of some prom
 inent ranchers living in that vicinity and said that they had been called home on account of sickness. After leaving Tempe they drove the horses at an easy gait and managed to get to Florence shortly after noon. They drove out of town little way and let
 the horses feed on the grass growing up by the Wayside while they ate a lunch that they had secured earlier in the day. Shortly after they had resumed their journey they were arrested.
 One of the girls said that the officer that arrested them took them to Flor ence and gave them the first square
 meal that they had for nearly twenty
 four hours. He then placed them in charge of a lady there for the night.
 After they had breakfast they were brought to Phoenix in an auto.
 i One of the girls is said to be a very we'll behaved girl usually but she is
 easily lead by other girls to do wrong. ] She is neat and is of attractive appear ance. During her stay at the home
 she obeyed every rule and the matron was very much surprised to find that l the girl had run away.
 The other girl is of low mentality 1 and has been a source of continual i trouble ever since she has been in | mate of the home. It has been decided i that the best thing to do with her was ! to place her in the reform school and ! the commitment papers had been
 made out and placed in the hands of ! the sheriff on Thursday morning and
 it was the intention of the authorities i to take the girl to the school on Fri day. Before the papers could be served
 the girl had escaped.
 The officers are satisfied that the girls had no outside help in their es cape and that they made their re- marka ble journey entirely on their own i initiative. The girls parents live near i Miami and it is thought that they in i tended paying them a visit before giV-
