MARSH IS LANDED
 BY CLEVER WORK
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

Through the persistent efforts and clever work of Sheriff Charles C. Keeler, Howard E. Marsh was ar rested yesterday in Los Angeles on a charge on embezzlement.
 Several months ago Marsh was engaged on the construction of a mill on the property of the Kay Copper company in Black Canyon, being in the employ of MT. Wom- pier, who was building the mill. A woman who is employed by Jeff Martin at Goddard Station entrusted, it is alleged, a draft for S200 to Marsh who was making a trip to Prescott. and instructed him to cash it and forward the money to a brother in Salt Lake City for the purpose of paying his expenses to Phoenix and removing a brother from the asylum and taking him to the brothers home in Salt Lake. It is alleged that Marsh appropriat- ed the money, as investigation show ed that the brother in Salt Lake had never received 1t. Marsh left the country, it is said. after he ar rived in Prescott. his departure be- ing on August Y. Later the wo- man came to town, after she had heard from her brother, and swore out complaint before County At torney O'Sullivan. Sheriff Keeler got busy and finally located Marsh in Los Angeles and wired his ad- dress to Sheriff Hamilton, of that city, with instructions to make the arrest
 When Marsh was taken into GUS tody yesterday he said he was a mining engineer and declared that he did not know why he was ar rested.

he was not looking for an elterca- ton but that Venares insisted upon being quarrelsome. Pm not afraid of your gum" jeered Venares. Cas- tro cautioned him to be quiet, fear ing that an officer might be close by ready to arrest him for carrying concealed weapons.
 After spending some time in the saloon, Castro and Hernandez left, Venares following them twenty-five feet behind as they made their way down Granite street to the bunk house. Without warning, Castro de- clared that Venares rushed up and started 10 quarrel again with him. Hernandez interfered at this june ture, with the suggestion that if there were any differences between the two men, they settle them peace ably. Venares' reply, says Castro, was the drawing of a long knife. He made a rush at Castro who lodged. The point of the knife cut through his clothing for about four inches and left slight scratch upon ! the skin Of his chest, which he ex- hibited. Then Castro said he drew his gun, and when Venares made another onslaught he fired four times. Three of the bullets took ef- feet, shot through the groin prov ing fatal. Castro said that he and Hernandez fled from the scene after | Venares had been shot.
 The arrest followed as soon as the sheriff learned of the quarrel in the Jap saloon.
 The officials have in their posses sion Castro's clothing which show cuts made by a knife. The gun with which the shooting was done was purchased by Castro, according to his story, from the Hill Hard wars company three years ago. Cas- tro declared during his cross-exami- nation yesterday that he had pulled the trigger Of the gun but three times since he purchased it, with the exception of Monday night, on which occasion he claims he docs not know how many shots he fired.

TRIED A BLUFF AND
 GOT AWAY WITH IT
(From Fridays Daily,


 If you knew that you were per fectly right and could not get any satisfaction through the law, what would you do?
 Bluff it
 That's what B. w. Ungles, the well known goat rancher of the Four-Mile House district did. and he got away with it in every sense of the word.
 Two years ago Mir. Ungles missed a burro from his ranch. and after a diligent search. he gave it up for lost
 Last Wednesday while in Prescott his eyes suddenly fell upon buiro which bore all the earmarks of the lost animal. Mir. Ungles claims he recognized it through peculiar branding mark. Not wishing to make any trouble he appealed to the officials. Uncertain regarding the merits of the case, because of the fact the burro had been in the hands of new owners for the past two years. the officials offered but little satisfaction. So he decided to take a chance" He arrived at the post where the donkey was hitched just in time to see a Mexi- can mounting. A Kansas cyclone was mild in comparison to the way in which the angry rancher swept down on the surprised Mexican.
 With one sweep of the arms he unseated the rider In few more seconds, the saddle was off the bur ro's back and on the ground, and in about thirty seconds more Mir. Ungles was on his own horse pull ing homeward the long lost burro with the aid of a rope. And the Mexican never said word.

LAW
 OPPOSED BY FICKAS

PHOENIX, Oct. 7.-That some Of the initiated measures to be voted on at the coming election are still-born owing to the fact that as drawn they defeat the intention of their framers, is the statement made to- day by w. M. Fickas. president of the Creators Arizona League.
 Take the anti-biacklist law" said Mir. Fickas. Now no minded person is in favor of a blacklist. But why not legislate against it in clear terms? Why go to the length of making it felony for any employer to ask any applicant where he has been working? If the framers ot this bill had stopped to think min ute they would have seen that no business could be carried on that way. The good part of this law will be killed by making the law as a whole impossible
 The same is true of the eighty per cent citizenship bill. It could not have been the intention of the framers to exclude naturalized citi- zens of other states. Yet the bill as drawn has that effect and so it is dead to start with.
 "All of which provides strong reason why at all events the pro posed law preventing the legislature from amending initiated measures should be defeated. We evidently need that safeguard so that the real purpose of initiated laws will not be lost by the unconscious dragging | in of unnecessary evils"

WILFUL ABUSE OF
 GAME LAWS REPORTED
(From Wednesdays Daily )

(From Wednesday, Daily.)
 Arrivals from Skull valley yester- day expressed themselves in a pro- nounced manner over the violation of the game laws, and openly con demned several deer hunters for their unsportsmanlike conduct in wounding bucks and failing to fol low them afterward. They also state that in many instances does have been shot. which is a violation of the state law. One man from near Copper Basin stated that he was an eye witness when two hunters were seen to take deliberate aim at a band Of fourteen does and fire among them. Fortunately, however, not one of them was hit, owing to the men having buck ague" These violations have so aroused people in the Skull valley section that pc tition signed by many has been forwarded to Senators Ashurst and Smith. asking that all forest re serves in the state be closed to deer hunters. True sportsmen do not violate the game laws.

Louis Castro, after being sweat cd" for an hour yesterday morning through Joseph Callos, interpreter, broke down and confessed that he was the slayer of Sabino Venares, thereby justifying the judgment Of Sheriff Kceler in taking him into custody as a suspect.
 Venares was killed about ll:l5 o'clock Monday evening near the corner Of Willis and Granite streets, and, as far as then known, there were no witnesses to the tragedy. But scarcely an hour had elapsed when Castro was in the custody of the sheriff. Until yesterday he stout ly maintained his innocence and at tempted to establish an alibi.
 Yesterday, however, new evidence was procured by the sheriff and his deputies pointing stronger to Castro than ever as the guilty party and the sweating" process was sue cessful in securing his confession During his confession Castro main tained that he shot in self-defense
 The Mexican was firm in his de nials for some time, but when told that if he did not confess and wa; found guilty he might be hung, he broke down and said:
 "Yes, I've been lying to you all the time. H event for Ine with his knife and I had to do it to save myself"
 Then Castro recited the story oi the nights tragedy and the incidents leading up to it, in detail.
 He said he had been employed as a porter at the depot for the past year and a half, and that Venares was an enemy of the worst kind Venares appeared at the depot Fri day and insulted him. When through work at 5 o'clock that afternoon Castro said he left for his bunl house near the bridge. There he joined a friend named Hernandez and together they went to the Jap saloon in the Mexican quarter, where they met Venares. Castro claim;

,.,ctsa a year ago for offering a oriDe
=, $4,000 to DR.. John W. Russell
..ondent Of Matteawan asylum
o..ordav surrendered himself TO the
D-.,,. Attorney. He will remain In
wilson until April %. when his case
comes up before the Appellate Division
Anhut is under a sentence Of not less
than two years nor more than -FOUR
years and six months. He was ad-
noitted 70 bail last June. pending MS
appeal Anhut agreed not TO attempt
Ia delay his case, but District Attorney
Whitman feels that Anhut mas Vlo-
lated the agreement by allowing ten
months TO elapse with no action ana
last Saturday moved to have the appear
TO the higher court dismissed. The APP
nellate Division closes in two months,
and had not some action been taken
the case would have dragged over until
rext fall, and perhaps longer.
There were two counts in the In
dictment against Anhut. The first
charged him with aiding and aoetting
Harry Thaw in offering bride, and
the second with offering the bride.
When on the stand Anhut testified that
he had taken $4,000 from Thaw as
fee. and that he had never offered any
part of It to DR.. Russell, but that DR..
Russell had asked him for $2O,OOo as
his share" It is to DR.. Russelrs testi-
mony that Anhut objects in his ap-
peal, characterizing the affair as con-
spiracy between Russell and Thaw.
Anhut may leave for Sing Sing I'M
medlately to begin his sentence. 1t is
probable that ne will be allowed to re-
main in the Tombs until his appeal 70
heard, II he so desires.
