Last Friday a stranger giving the name of Peters purchased a large order of jewelry of Wm. Lewellyn, including a watch on which he wanted a little work done. The total bill amounted to $58. 50 and the man wrote out a check for sixty dollars, even, in payment. MT. Lewellyn gave him back one dollar and a half in change. The man said he would wait while the work was being done on the watch.
 Incidentally, while making his purchases, the stranger had let out that he worked in Flagstaff.
 He also flashed a license which he said was for an automobile that he owned there. When pay ing for the jewelry, he went so far as to ask for a receipt, that he might show the old man where the money went. !"
 While waiting for the watch to be fixed, he stepped into Frank Sylvester's shoe shop and pur- chased a pair of shoes, worth $5.
 In payment he proposed to write out a check for ten dollars
