The St. Johns Observer of last

The St. Johns Observer of last
wek contains the following:
Yesterday Afternoon, Sheriff Sylves-
ter Peralta brought in Joe Schultz,
Ernest Walker and Magdaleno Alarid,
the three charged with stealing fif-
teen horses from various st. Johns
parties on the night of July IL last.
At that time the sheriff and a posse
of men gave the thieves a hot chase,
running them into the Zuni mountains,
where they managed to escape under
cover of the timber and brush, and
after a few days the chase was aban-
doned
Sheriff Peralta, however, has since
been quietly working on the case and
the first of the week he received no.
tice that the three men had been To-
Gated in the Bernalillo locality about
As miles northeast of Albuquerque. He
rat once set out for that place and
I had no trouble in getting the three
men, one of whom (Schultz) is credit
ed with being the handiest man with
gun in Arizona. The sheriff brought
them to Holbrook by railway and on
to St. Johns in an automobile. When
caught the men had six of the stolen
horses in their possession, which
would seem to be good evidence of
their guilt. The stolen horses, some
of which they had sold, have all been
located and in due time will be re-
turned to their respective owners.
We are informed by the Sheriff
that Ignacio Lopez, who is well
known in this county, was one of
the chief actors in the plot that led TO
the capture of the thcse men. 1t
Will be remembered that Ignacio ana
Schults had met before, but of course
that need not necessarily have any
bearing on this, case.
Should The captured men be proven
guilty at their trial, they are liable
to a sentence of from one to ten
years in the penitentiary.

the most remarkable, under the cir.
cumstances, which has ever fallen
from the lips of a human being since
the days of Cain. Lopez, in tones as
quiet as might be used in discussing
crop of frijoles, plunged directly
into the story of the Ray tragedy, in
stead of telling the story of the
Goldfield midnight murder, as had
been expected.
Hung Landry Before Shooting Him.
'When Brown came to our camp
Wednesday morning." said Lopez,
'and demanded that Pete Smith give
up the horse which they had stolen
at Ray, Smith and Amaga killed
Brown and robbed his body. Then
they chased the boy (Wil1 Landry
and caught him and hanged him a
long ways down the canyon. They
first hanged him to a tree with rope
and then shot at him with their
rifles"
(This detail, according to advices,
from Ray, is substantiated in many
ways Members of the Ray posse say
the body and tree trunk from which
the body of young Landry was sus-
pended were both pretty we'll riddled
with bullets. Blood was plainly Wis

Timekeepers StrangIed.
1--WE went back to camp, contin-
ued Lopez, 'and got more guns. Then
we went down the canyon. We knew
the officers were coming to find out
what was the matter with Brown.
When they came we opened fire on
them from ambush. Pete Smith
was shot in the mouth and the bullet
tore away the back of his head We
then left him and ran back to camp
Jose Uba11a (the Mexican shot and
killed near Superior.) and 1 started
to go to Superior. We came to the
from Ray. They were sleeping roll
ed up in their blankets"
Lopez then stopped talking. but
finally, acting on basis of informa-
tion received from Ray, he was asked
if the report was true that Earl Mil
Ter and Frank Bacon, the two time
keepers from the Ray Consolidated
mines, had been strang1ed because
the horse thieves and the bandits
we're afraid of detection. Lopez ad-
mitted that this was the truth, MAX
ing a significant sign around his
throat and rolling his eyees after
the manner of a man being choked
with the fingers.
'Jose Uba1lo shot Bacon and Mil
Ter several times with his rifle" said
Lopez. "Then we took the money and
other things they had and went to
Superior across the hills. Just before
we got to Superior Uballa told me to
go on into the town as he would go
into a house and prepare to die. I
went down town into a store and
waited until heard the shooting
was pretty sure Uballa had been
killed, so I ran and hid. That night
went to Pinal. I hid behind a post
while an automobile filled with Of
dcers went by. They were looking for
me. Pretty soon they came back and
{ hid again. They passed me a Sec
ond time and then I started walking
west until the undertaken found and
picked me up"

ROY KING MEETS
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Young Man for Several Years a resi-
dent of Clifton and Morenci is In
stantiy Killed in Basement of A. c.
comPany's Morenci Store by Con-
tact With Moving Belts.

At about nine o'clock on the
morning of Friday, August %, Roy
King, about twenty-eight years of
age, and for more than six years a
resident of Clifton and Morenci, was
instantly killed by coming in contact
with the moving belts of the ma
chinery Room of the A. c.. company's
store at Morenci, where for several
weeks he had been employed as as
sistant in the stores warehouse.
Immediately after his bleeding
body was flung from the swiftly
moving belts of the machinery which
supplies the stores elevator and other
machinery, his body was seen by COM
panions, who sent hurried calls for
medical assistance, but to no use, as
the unfortunate young man was un-
conscious until death, which was
about five minutes later. Only by
faint heart beats could those present
tell that life was not extinct.
The imm mediate accident was not
witnessed by anyone, although Mr..
Goldsecker, in charge of the ware
house where king was employed, saw
the body just after it was flung from
the belts, from where it was thrown
with great force against the walls
of the machinery room. The skull
just above the left ear, was badly
crushed, while the left arm was frac-
tured.
King had been residing at Morenci
for about nine months, having come
here from Clifton, where for about
two years he was employed in the
delivery service of the A. C.. COM
pany's store. He also worked for sew
eral morris with the Young Transfer
company, on Chase Creek. During
his residence at Clifton he gained
many friends through his uniformly
kindly nature. Through intimate ac-
quaintance with King while at Cliff
ton, Mr.. Goldsecker Immediately up
on coming to Morenci, about two
weeks since, to assume the manage
ment of the Company's Morenci store,
offered King employment in the ware
house over which he was chief.
King, who at the time was employ
ed in the blacksmithing department
of the Company's mining department,
accepted, and had been employed with
the store only about ten days be-
fore the tragic accident.
The management of the Company's
store Immediately after the death be-
gan a search for relatives, one of
whom, an uncle. is said to reside at
some point in Oklahoma, the native
state of the dead man. The body
will probably be sent to his former
home for burial.

AUTO LICENSE FUND SUIT
[From the Pennsylvania Farmer

[From the Pennsylvania Farmer1
The Dauphin County Court on June
. handed down a decision releasing
to the State Highway Department the
automobile license fund now amount
ing to approximately $1,000,0OO This
should end the controversy long ex-
isting between the State Auditor and
State Treasurer on the one side and
the administration" on the other as
to the disposal of this fund. The en-
tire controversy has been a case of
playing politics, made possible by the
carelessness of the last session of Leg
islature in so wording the appropria-
ton clause as to leave question of
conflict with the specific appropria-
tion act of 1909. There was never a
doubt of the intent of the Legisla-
ture to appropriate the license fund
to the use of the State Highway De-
partment The hitch came on a tech
nical point involving the legal right
of the Auditor and Treasurer to
honor and cash the acquisitions drawn
by the Highway Department under
the loose wording of the appropria-
ton law of 1918. This legal point
should be satisfactorily removed by
the late court decision. There is talk
of an appeal from the decision by the
Auditor There can be little excuse
for such action at this time. 1t is
only fair to state that because of gen.
eral dissatisfaction with the adminis-
tration of the Highway Department.
public opinion in the State has tended
to support the claim of the Auditor
and Treasurer in withholding these
funds. At least there has been little
general criticism of parley, ad-
mitted to be for political effect, which
interefered with placing additional
money in the hands of a department
which has shown little ability in maxi
ing good use of it's appropriations.
But there is a limit to public patience
which is as apt to be felt by the war;
ring officials as by the road depart
ment. An appeal of the case will be
carrying politics step too far The
Highway Department has been urging
the retention of this fund as an eS-
cuse for it's inefficiency for months.
1t has served well as an excuse. but
the condition of the State roads de-
mands immediate attention, and re-
sponsibility for further delay will be
placed where it belongs.
