Famous Pioneer
 of Sixties Goes
 To F iiEaaI Reward

Francisco Gonzales, who had much to do with the men who made history in Arizona since the sixties, died on Saturday night at 811 East Madison street. His funeral will take place there this morning con ducted by Rev. MT. Hunter of the Railroad Mission. Interment will be in the lot of w. w. Cook at Greenwood.
 Just how old Gonzales was is not known. He has been in the employ of Mir. Cook at his ranch on Cave Creek and elsewhere since 1880. He was native of Sonora. He is believed to have been of Apache blood but he was raised by a priest in Sonora and all of his associa- tions have been with the whites. He has probably killed more Apaches than any other man that ever lived in Arizona, for he was a dead shot and his associations during the worst of the Indian times was with men who were engaged in hunting Indians.
 He was first with King Woolsey and afterward with Jack SwiIIing and David Neahr. In the early seventies he became a scout with General Crook and served through out Crooks campaigns in this ter ritory.
 He was for time employed at Lambert's flour mill, at Walnut Grove.
 When he was not otherwise enn- ployed he engaged in hunting in the mountains about Tonto Basin and throughout that country. He was known to all the older Mexicans by a name that signified "The Hunter"
 He was better known to Mir. Cook than any other man now living in the city and perhaps in the state, and for thirty years there was no man in whom MT. Cook had greater confidence.

 Had the police of Phoenix been the bunch of hicks Ashley Stelzride, alias Jack Lawton. thought they were, he and Harvey Ward would now be cooling their feet as some beach resort near Los Angeles. instead of being prisoners in this city. And if it had been just like taking candy from a kid" StelZride and Ward would not have been con fronted with such unrefutable evidence of bad check operations on their part, that they confessed the police surely had the goods on them.
 To Ashley Stelzride it was particular ly humiliating to learn yesterday that while he was inditing the foregoing epistle and announcing that he and his companion were about to start for good Old Broadway the police not only knew that they were preparing to leave for Los Angeles, but knew he was writ ing the letter which is expected to fig ure prominently when their case comes to trial. They didn't know, either, when they drove up to a house in the west ern part of the city Saturday afternoon that Plainclothesman John J. McGrath was lying concealed in the grass not 90 feet from the house Had they known all these things a different tale woulC have to be told.
 As matter of fact the arrest or Stelzride and Ward, brings to con- clusion, as far as their activities are concerned the most sensational and at the same time, most Senseless, attempt to obtain money without honest effort, in recent police annals. That they were allowed to operate unmolested so long, 1 was due only to the fact that the police believed watching would connect them ,r-ith lai off ire and the officers wanted to make the case complete. As it is there is still a good chance that the check operations of these young men will not constitute the only actions against them.
 ! Perhaps Stelzride and Ward did se- 1 cure $375 in cashing forged checks. The l police are not certain of the exact amount. They have definite proof that | they secured more than S100 in this manner and a suspiciort that the amount is much larger. They know too. ! that Stelzride is a deserter from Com pany D. Arizona National Guard, and l they have been informed that he was ac- cused, not long ago, of passing bad check in Globe, matter which was aft 1 erward strengthened up by friends. ] Four or five of the checks went | through local banks and were accepted | as haVlnB been written Dy '. F.. l uckef. 1 That this was possible is explained in the finding in Stelzride's room of a number of sheets of papel- upon whicH he had been practicing writing the name of Tucker. He had also used the
 ame of William Norton, and William Mcdonald. He gave the police the name
 Jack Lawton, but afterwards admit l tel that his name was Stelzride. Ward was locked up at the police station, While StelZride was taken to the county jail, to prevent the two from commu- nicating with each other
 Among the places where the checks are ssid to have been cashed were kor- ricks' Goldberg's, Binkley's grocery, d ! Chinese huckster, and several other l business houses.

Anita Lugo, Who Thought Police Had Forgotten Her Receives Sad Awakening When She Visits Jail

When Anita Lugo sustained a broken arm several weeks ago. while resisting arrest on a charge of conducting a house of prostitution, the police showed her the consideration of allowing her to go on her own recognizance and de- ferred the trial of her case until she had sufficiently recovered to appear in court Instead of appearing as she agreed, she left town, going to Los An geles, and from that distant point, sending back word that she would be- gin an action against the city and against the arresting officers in an eff fort to recover damages.
 No effort was made on the part of the police either to bring her back to stand trial or to discourage her from her threatened suit. So it probably oc- cured to her that the entire affair had blown over. With this impression,- the woman returned quietly to this city a day or two ago. only to find her man" in jail, serving a thirty days sentence for Vagrancy.
 Just after the shades of night had fallen last evening, the Lugo woman, accompanied by Ray Verela, appeared outside the city jail and each began talking through the bars to the pris- oners within. Policeman Barnum, in charge of the police station last nlSHt, overheard the talking and discovering the identity of the woman took her in custody on a warrant which had been held against her ever since the broken arm episode. She will now be held without bail to answer the charge.
 The Verela man had a package of ice cream and some other dainties he wished to give to the friend Of the Lu- go woman but was advised to come around at meal time. Then he at tempted to slip his contribution through the bars. Barnum. still on the watch, found Verela working at the iail windows and promptly locked him up It is likely the cases of both will come up in police court this afternoon.

DOane Merrill was selected as chairman of the commission, and Charles B. Christy, who had been ap- pointed as secretary of the commission was duly qualified
 The commission, which takes the place of the old board of control, Is to be a very busy body as there IS much work for the commission to plan ana execute First in importance before tne new commission is, of course, the oulld- ing of the extension to the state capltol'
 For this most important work there has been appropriated by the state leg islature S125,000 which sum becomes available to the commission for that purpose on July 1. As the state depart ments are seriously inconVenienced by being so badly crowded in the capitol for lack of room. some of them being compelled to find quarters outside ot the state house, the commission Will lose no time in getting the construction of the addition started.
 Tentative plans already have been made for the new addition, but on ae- count of the sharp advance III the cost of all materials that enter into the building of the capitol addition these plans must be revised and made 10 Ill the amount of money available for the addition. It will be impossible for the commission to contract for the erection of the addition as, by the statutes ol Arizona. all work on the capitol addl- tion must be done by day labor.
 It was with the full understanding oI this law regarding the building or the addition by day labor that w. L. Jannle- son was named as a member or the commission. MT. Jamieson is one or the best known engineers in the state ana the construction of the new capitol ad- dition will be under his supervision
 The present tentative plans for the addition call for building with it's greatest length north and south and short distance west of the present capi- tol with which il will be connected by a narrow building, the whole to re- semble a letter H, the left side of the letter being longer than the right OW- ing to the fact that the construction must go hand in hand with available money. the new addition may not be built full height at once to correspond with the present capitol.
 It is possible that the new commis- sion will make some changes in the of- flee room occupied by the departments in the state house. Outside office room may be secured for some departments, as, it is expected a year will have elapsed before the new addition will be completed and ready for occupancy.
