 A Mexican girl who has been re- gently released from the Clifton jail after serving a sentence of robbing several houses in Morenci where she was working, got busy again on her | release, after securing employment in rooming house here. She entered homes of the neighbors and stole l things of little value, and rifled the roomers pockets. A commissioned deputy sheriff was one of the room 1 CTS that was touched for $15.00, but did not know it until the Constable lad the girl locked up in jail. As Christmas was near at hand the fifteen looked big to him, and he wanted it back. He asked the girl what she had done with the money, and sine told him she had it in her 1 that if he would take her up there I she would give it to him. It was dark, and rugged road, but he said I he would walk to Metcalf to get a look at his coin again, and started out with the girl. The constable a slippery one, and that he better ! take some one else with him so she would not attempt to run. He did, and said there would be no running | from either of them. When they l reached the house the girl said that she would light the lamp and pro- duce the change, but instead of that she dropped out of the kitchen win dow and disappeared in the dark ness. The deputy and his assist ant are still scratching their heads and wondering how it was done, and the Constable hasn't gotten over saying, I told you so". Julian Padilla, a bad Mexican of this place, got busy with his six | gun Wednesday morning and shot another Mexican three times, and it is thought the latter will die, as one of the bullets went clear thru his stomach. After the shooting Padil- ] Ia disappeared, going up A. c. hill | towards Chase Creek. Sheriff Slaugh- ter and deputies came from Clifton tc intercept him coming in with his deputy from all directions, and the MorenciS officers were on his heels five minutes after the shooting, but it was thought that he retraced his tracks and is hiding in some of the houses, and as the MeXicans have al tendency to protect criminals from the officers no matter what they do, he will be hard to find, but it will be impossible for him to get out of the country, as he is known by every officer in the county.
