Special Officer Chris Fitch, who had effected the cap- ture of the man who is believed to have been implicated in burglaries and robberies that have recently baffled the police of this city. had no thought that the man would think of taking such chances and before recovering from his surprise at the mans daring, was un- able to prevent him from going over the side of the trestle work.
 41oaued down with quantity of wearing apparel consisting of shirts. socks and shoes he had stolen from Sersberg's Busy Corner store in Tempe. the burglar was making q get away. walking across the bridge. Fitch saw him from the opposite end of the structure and made his way toward the man.
 The two met just about the middle of the bridge. Fitch ordered the fel- low to throw un his hands and when he was searched he was relieved of q six shooter. bunch of keys that he has no doubt utilized many times in effectng entrances to houses and stores and the goods that he had stol- en from the Busy Corner.
 When Fitch ordered him to return to town with him, he started and then catching the officer off hfs guard for
