 ON SERIOUS CHARGE

Officers Jack McGrath and Roy Morrell took Jack Quinn into GUS tody on Christmas day because of certain queer things they had heard about Quinn from a night automo- bile driver by the name of Jeffries. and after the charges were sifted a little Quinn was turned over to Con stable Murphy yesterday and lodged in the county jail with felony charge against him
 The story that is told in connec- ton with the case is that Quinn ap- preached Jeffries on Christmas night with q proposition that Jeff and he take a rancher by the name of An- Gerson. who was in the city pretty well heeled, out in the automobile ostensibly to take him home, and
 while out on the road that they roll Anderson and get his pile
 It Is stated in connection with the case that Jeffries refused to consider the proposition and after thinking about the matter he told the police and the two officers mentioned above took Quinn into custody.
 The man will have his preliminary trial before Judge Iohnstone in T day or so at which time q further
 investigation of the case will be had.

MYSTERY OF BLACK BOX
Casket Supposed to Contain Ram pola's Will, Is Strangely
 Missing.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l


 ROME. Dec. 26.-All evidence thus far adduced concerning a black box which was taken from the room of Cardinal Rampolla the day he died tends to shov t.ie cardinal was fear full that it would be tempered with. The box, which is believed by some persons, to have contained the last will testament and other papers of Cardinal Rampolla was placed under his pillow by the cardinal the day he was forced to take to his bed with the illness which shortly afterwards caused his death.
 Soon after the cardinal passed away and while the body was being moved from the bed to be prepared for the coffin, the black box fell to the floor. Some person picked it up and laid it on the cardinals writing desk. Since that time, all is mystery con- corning the box Whether it disap- peared during or after the stream of people was admitted to the death chamber to view the body of Car dinal Rampolla is unknown. Hope is still entertained that the persons who carried the box away are not inter- , eSted in the suppression of the car dinals will, but carried the casket away in the hope it contained valu- ables and will return the useless papers.

LONGCHASEFOR HORSE THIEVES
Sheriff Adams and Deputy Sheriff George Sears Chase Horse Thieves into Yuma County and Get Them

Sheriff Jeff D. Adams and Deputy Sheriff George Sears left last evening for Yuma to bring back two men who are wanted in this county for stealing five head of horses from the ranch Of H. F. Pius who lives sixteen miles west i Of Phoenix on the Yuma road. The horses were stolen about two weeks ago by two men whose names are said to be Johnson and Perkins.
 1 Eight days after the horses were missed Rancher Plus notified the sher~ l ifs office. A week ago Jeff Adams and George Sears in a Franklin auto mobile started on the trail of the men. The officers had great difficulty in fol lowing an eightday old trail. but they | finally did and after four days work, traced the men to Yuma.
 1 When Sheriff Adams told the sheriff of Yuma county his story and described the men, the Yuma sheriff immediately said that it couldn't be so. as one of the two was his deputy sheriff and his right hand name was Hobbs. The chase however, was not finished as the I horses were wanted.
 In the little Franklin car the trip was again begun. Away over into Califor- mia went the officers done on the west side of the Colorado river up to the La guna dam and then back down the east side of the river into the valley before the horses were found Further evil dence was obtained until the Yuma of ficers were convinced. Then leaving instructions to pick the men up when they came into town Jeff Adams and Sears started back with the automobile The officers arrived in Phoenix late Wednesday night making the entire trip all. around in the machine without a single puncture.
 Yesterday information was received from Yuma that the men had beer picked up by the officers there ant Adams immediately left for Yuma tC get the men. They will be brought tC Phoenix this evening

Annual Exercises to be Held in Pro
 Cathedral Monday Afternoon.

More extensive preparations than in any previous year are being made for the annual Christmas festival of Trinity Episcopal parish to be held m the Pro-Cathedral next Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Every boy and girl of the parish Sunday school Is urged to be present upon that oc- casion
 There will be a short service con sisting of the singing of carols, and brief Christmas story Then will follow the lighting of the big Christ mas tree and the distribution of gifts to the children present
 As in years past the parish will entertain upon that occasion as it's guests the children from the railroad mission. It is expected that this will augment the party of children pres ent by at least seventy-five and that the church will be packed to the doors. Parents and friends of the children are cordially invited to be present, with the understanding, how ever, that they must not feel slighted if they are called upon to stand up. It is a strictly chiIdren's affair and
