A YOUTHFUL
H0USE-BREAkER

Manuel Valenzuela, Mexican Or
phan boy about ten years of age, who
lives with his older brother, d. Val
enZuela, was taken in charge on Mon
day by Constable Roberts, as
proper subject for the attention of
the juvenile court
1t appears that the boy has Grim
inal propensities that need curbing
before it is too late, though he has
every appearance of being tractable
respectful to grown people.
A short time ago the Sipe home
was entered by some person, during
the occupants absence, and 22-
calibre rife stolen therefrom. The
boy was thereafter seen with such
rifle in his possession but he was
cunning enough, when he carried the
gun, to keep at a safe distance from
anyone who might identify the
u
crime OF that nature by one so young
was such an exceptional case that
no suspicion rested upon him and he
remained in possession of the gun.
On Monday night, however, Lew
Miskell, after closing his place of
business, entered his house to go to
bed only to discover that somebody
had broken in and ransacked the
apartment from end to end. Clothes
and other personal effects were
strewn over the floor, showing that
the miscreant had given the place
pretty thorough 'overhauling.
Among the articles found to be
missing as a result of the visitation
were gold-filled watch case, a IT.
jeweled nickle watch, and a clock.
The matter was reported to Con-
stable Roberts who at once got busy.
The officer received tip to the
effect that young Valenzuela had been
seen with watch in his possession
so he held up the lad and, sure
enough found gold watch case on
his person. eYoung Valenzuela firmly
protested his innocence, claiming
that he picked up the watch case
from the street in front of Hosfelt's
hall, and little while later told
different story about the finding of
the watch case. Roberts took him
to the jail and locked him up, telling
him that he proposed to keep him
there until he told the truth.
The boy was left for a couple of
hours behind the bars, and when
Roberts entered the cell at the end
of that time, the prisoner made a
clean breast Of the whole affair and
also confessed to the stealing of the
gun from the Sipe residence. He said
that the other articles taken from
Miskell's were hidden under GER
tain vacant house, and these were
duly found. The Sipe gun was also
recovered
The boy was released on his own
recOgniZanca until such time as the
juvenile court is ready to take up
the case.

MEXICAN ON
A RAMPAGE

A young Mexican named Ndwardo
Jaurez, employed as a section hand
on the Santa Fe railroad. took six or
seven shots from a pistol at L.. A.
Martinez, pilot Of the ferry boat,
down at the Arizona landing, about
two o'clock Sunday afternoon, but
fortunately none of the shots took
effect.
The attack, which was virtually
unprovoked, was substantially as fol-
lows: At the time stated Martinez
with his assistant, Dan O'COnnor,
was on the landing attending to
matters connected with the ferry ser
vice, when he heard ribalt shouting
in the brush near by, and presently
Jaurez appeared.
WAS that you doing all that hol-
lering like crazy man. asked
Martinez of the visitor.
Jaurez rook violent exceptions to
the query !etlecting on his mental
condition, and defended his erst " hile
wild CALCULATIONS or jungle paean by
hurting. abusive epithets and vile in
vectives at the pilot This he. con-
tinued to do while standing at a safe
distance from Martinez, until the
latter, irritated to the limit of endur-
n116n r1 i'm
Then the fellow Immediately retreat
ed but drew his revolve., as he ran
and began shooting back at Martinez
who kept on advancing despite the
fusilade. When the weapon was
empty Jaurez reloaded it with car
tridges from his pocket, and after
taking another shot or two, disap-
peared in the jungles All the shots
went wide Of the mark excepting one
which passed uncOmfortably close to
Martinez's head
Mr.. Martinez Immediately came to
town and lodged complaint against
his assailant while the latter remain
ed in hiding. Constable Roberts, as
soon as he was apprised of the affair
went in pursuit Of the gun-wielder
He searched the jungles in the neigh
borhood thoroughly but could find
no trace of the man. 1t is believed
however that he is somewhere in the
neighborhOOd and that it is only a
question of little time when he will
be captured.
1t is said that Jaurez was caught
in the selective draft and that he
chose this method of trying to ''break
into the state prison. under the be-
lief that if he were sentenced to that
institution, for short period he
would escape service in the army,
while it is the opinion of others thai
the fellow got hold Of some bootleg
whiskey and proceeded to "raise the
wind in true Aztec fashion.
In any event it is certainty that
that hOmbre would make a mighty
bum soldier and would be more SER
viceable in the pen than in the
army, Judging from the way he ran
from unarmed Martinez, and it is
doubtful if any quantity of booze or
Dutch courage" could improve his
morale or even give him stamina
enough to stand up and take saltz.
