 According to figures given out by the county attorney this of will be than sufficient to pay the detectives for securing the testimony and also to the jurors. So far the other officers concerend their services covered by their regular salary.
 The fact that these prosecutions paying their own way will be satisfying to the taxpayers.
 Of course the prosecutions will end with the cases in court As they have been disposed of there will be other raids and these raids may expected be continued long violations of the law continue Douglas International.

"oIRL HOBO NOW
IN COUNTY JAIL

Having been returned from Fl Paso csharged with kidnapping a l3-year- old child from Douglas and bound over to await the action of the Superior Court on this charge. Billie Patterson. known as the girl hobo" was brought 70 Tombstone yesterday and is now confined in the women's ward of the county jail. awaiting hearing.
 When seen yesterday by Prospec-
 representative. the girl hobo ap- peared to be utterly unabashed by reason of being confined in the county jail on the charge of kidnapping. and denied the fact that she had kidnap. ped the Whitson girl. stating that the child had been mistreated by the peo- pie who had her in charge in Doug. las, and she decided to take her along and give her a good home. q did not kidnap her and never had any intentions of doing so. but 1 just took pity on the poor mistreated child, and intended to bring her back to Los Angeles to my parents who would take care of her. Now don't you give me such 9 sensational e.c-y as those Fl Psso and other papers did. Lord. you'd have thought 1 com. mitted murder or something like that"
 When asked what she was going 70 do to try and get out of the scrape she said: Hire a good attorney, I guess, or else wire my father to come here and get me out. But he's sore at me for going out on a hobo trip, and l don't want him to know that 1 am in this scrape."
 The prisoner is not much over a mere girl herself. and is well appear ing. and is preparing to make herself lt home while confined in the local ail, awaiting trial.
 Her trial will no doubt come up at lis term Of court.

 rty has done an immense amount of work on the mine and has made 1t
 ay well during the past several years. He is an old newspaper man, having edited and published the Tombstone Epitaph and Prospector in the early days of the camp.

STATE FAIR GROUNDS
 FLOODED BY STORM

PHOENIX, Sept. 12.-Cave Creek. in its mad rampage over the valley asst night. had little respect for state property. The state fair grounds vas almost washed out. Secretary rom Shaughnessy stated last night, that he had a force Of men at work and that in a few days everything would be as good as ever.
 The mile track noted as the fastest 1val in the United States, was washed out in two places. Yesterday there yas still about four inches Of water standing on both tracks, but the work men were fast draining them.
 About twenty head of blooded hors-
 s were forced to stand in water up to their knees all night. As soon as morning came, they were removed to two piers washed out, but according to Shaughnessy. it will require little work and expense 10 fix them up.
 There was about a foot of water covering the floor of the fair com mission offices. the only damage be- ing done though, was the running of the new linoleum recently placed. The exhibit buildings were also awash, but no damage was done.

Several at empts were made to drag the ma chine out of the water. but each re- ,ulted in failure. The top of the car was put down to allow the occu- pants to escape in case the water turned the car over. Finally a wa ,on went to the car and occupants started to remove Carrillo and Garcia 70 the bank.
 As he was lifted from machine Garcia collapsed. He was taken to the river bank by Feliciano Diaz. A physician pronounced him dead, attributing deatho to heart disease. Coroner O. E. Comstock was called and the body was sent to the Reilly undertaking establishment.
