BRASKA FOR Compile
ITY IN MURDER.

Lincoln, Nab.-Sheriff Flyers took
into custody yesterday at Wymore.
one Robert n. BROOKS, wanted in
Charles Mix county, South Dakota.
on the Menzie murder case.
Brooks was arrested IN Sioux
City two months ago, but was turn
cd loose for lack OF evidence.
Sheriff l.. w. Rifle Of Charles
MIX county, came here today from
Malvern to get Brooks.
The Geddes murder case to which
this arrest refers was the one in
which8sthe bodies of w II. Menzie
manager of the Farmers lumber
yard, and the company bookkeeper
Miss, Blanche Signal, were found
among the ruins Of a fire which de-
stroyed tho lumber office building.
So far as general outside know
ledge goes, the cause Of the tragedy
has remained a mystery. 1t was
clearly shown that Menzie had been
shot through the head and that Miss
Signals skull was crushed with a
hammer. Some Of the Geddes citi-
zens thought the incident was the
work of some unknown assailant,
while others viewed it as q murder
and suicide.
Eastern detectives were put on the
case Immediately and It is probable
while giving out the impression that
the Investigation had been dropped.
AAt Geddes today The Republi-
can was told that nothing was
known of the arrest ~ the reasons
for it.

FOR
 FRENCH IS DENIED

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 1i.-C. W French, Jhe Utah promoter, has been finally successful in escaping extraii- ton to that s,ate on a charge of pass. ing worthless checks. In Los Angeles. where French went voluntarily after the failure of the extradition pro ceedings here, he was released after a hearing lasting twelve minutes.
 In the absence of Governor John son of California, his secrd-ary issued an executive warrant for French. who immediately applied for writ of habeas corpus. The hearing was be- fore Judge Craig. Attorney Robert s. Fisher of Phoenix appeared for French.
 Governor Hunt of Arizona had pre- viously refused extradtion on the ground that 1t was no, shown that a crime had been committed, but that there was strong suggestion of ul- terior motives in the whole affair.
 French's case is well known in Ari. zona. He spent several days in Phoe. nix, in his private car, about six weeks ago. and ihen went north. His ar rest was effected at Flagstaff and he spent several days a. Prescott before returning to Phoenix.

DEVELOPING MANSFIELD MINE.

The new 30-horsepower gasoline hoist for the Mansfield company ar rived in Patagonia the first of the week and was taken out to the mine where the old shaft house has al- ready been enlarged to accommodate t. The new hoist is expected to be mp and running within a very short time.
 Recent work at the Mansfield has included the re-timbering a portion of the Lee shaft and the installing of new skid line from the collar of the shaft to the 300-foot level, the skids from the 300 to the 400 level being in good condition. It is from the Lee shaft that the ore was taken which was shipped to the smelter from Patagonia this week. The in tention of the company is to make trial shipments to different smelters and then determine where they can best market their ore when con ditlons are favorable.
 lt is believed the Mansfield com pany will resume sinking with their shifts when the new machinery has been installed
