STEPHENS CONVICTED
 FIRST DEGREE MURDER

Bud" Stephens, who killed a man named Miller at Prescott about a month ago, was tried before the su- perior court of that county and jury and was convicted of murder in the first degree. The testimony showed that the killing was wanton murder. Young Stephens was in the draft and the father tried to keep him from go- ing to the front. The mother of the young man swore that Miller had tried to get her to elope with him and the defense set up the "unwritten law" But the state proved conclusively that the mother and Miller were nothing to each other and. that the son had done more to assail her good name than had Miller.
 The trial of Stephens, Sr., will come before the same court sometime next month. From the showing made in the young mans case it is quite probable that the old man will also be convict ed. The people of Prescott were so worked up over the case that it was almost impossible to get jury to try the men.

The explosion is believed to have been caused by the dropping of a lighted match or cigarette into the box containing the articles comI posed of celluloid.
 H adit not been for the fact that the building was of cement block construc- tion a large part of the town would have gone up in smoke, but the fire was confined to the one building. There was some insurance on the prop erty, but we have not learned how much or the amount of the loss.

MEXICAN DESPERADO KILLED
 BY FRANK DICKERSON

POrfiriO Hernandez, the Mexican
 who shot and killed ex-Sheriff James Lcwery at Verde last week, was shot
 to death at Rattlesnake Tanks last
 week Friday. Dickerson had run across the man and from the descrip- tion sent out by the Yavapai county of ficers believed that he was the Low cry murderer. The man told Dicker- son that he had lost bunch of sheep and was directed to the camp of Camp beli and Francis. After the man had gone Dickerson concluded that he was the one wanted and drove a bunch of cattle through the hills until he had headed the man off. The man talked with him again and wanted to buy horse. Dickerson rode up close and to distract the fellows attention pointed behind him and asked if he did not think there was a wolf in the distance. The man turned around and D;ckerson sprang from his horse and covered him with his gun. He order ed hands up, but the Mexican refused and Dickerson fired, the bullet strik- ing him in the breast. The Mexican began firing and fired four shots at Dickerson, but his aim was bad and none of the bullets reached their mark. DIckerson continued to shoot until the man sank to the ground and did not fire any more. The five bullets hit the man in a circle close to the heart. Dickerson went to Camp Verde and notified the officers. The body was taken there and allowed to remain in tho street for Identification. He was fully identified as the murderer of LCwery. The shooting took place 33 miles north of Verde, where Lowery was killed.

FIRST CONHSCATION
 IF MACHINE

The first confiscation of an automo- bile under the recently enacted law was in the case of the state against George Mullarky, who was arrested few weeks ago with a cargo of booze. Mullarly put a cash bond of S750 and forfeited the bond. The cause was tried without him and he was found guilty and the car was or dered confiscated. The trial was had at Tucson, the crime having been committed in Pima county.
 It is probable that the cOnfiscation of cars used in the carrying of booze into the state will be contested in the Iaricopa county courts on the theory that cars may be rented for lawful purpose and be used for an unlawful purpose, wherefore an owner leasing his car would be taking chances all the time, as many men carry liquor of some sort on the road, and were any of these to be arrested the car would become the property of the state upon conviction of the party renting the car.

CATTLE THIEF CAUGHT BY
 DEP. IMUS

Jack Beach, wanted in New Mexico on charge of cattle rustling, was ar rested by Deputy Sheriff Charles linus near the Windmill ranch Wednesday afternoon. linus had seen a circular from the New Mexico officers offering reward for Beach and thought he recognized him as a man who had gone through Blackberry a few weeks ago. Beach was with a party of friends on the road when linus passed them. Beach rode off to one side of the road and linus drove on, but doubled back on the COW trail that he knew the men would take, and when they appeared he threw down his rifle on Beach and ordered "hands up." He brought his prisoner to Kingman and lodged him in the county jail and notified the New Mexico officers.
 Nothing is known of the facts of the crime for which Beach is wanted other than that of rustlina cattle. He has been living in the mountains at a place known as Malone Spring.
