BROWNIE NDVlK G0T
 JUST WHAT RAILROAD MEN HAD PROMISED

"Novak got all that was coming to him, stated B. c. Oliver, machinist at the Arizona Eastern shops, in speak ing of the bating-up administered to Brownie Novak late Saturday night.
 Kennedy, who did the job. is one of the most popular men at the shops, and we believe he did right. No one was after the woman who was with him it was simply a payment for Novak having gone to San Francisco and turned us all in for doing things which we had never heasd of.
 Novak was beaten up severely Satur day night by Fred Kennedy at the cor ner of Sixth and Adams streets The police arrived on the scene after Ken nedy had left his victim, arrested Novak and Mrs. Holmes, who was with him, took them to the city jail where Novak was released by Night Captain Cutler, and Mrs. Holmes was retained for the night behind the bars.
 At the time of the affair and yester- day the police refused to give out the details of the affair, but Oliver in the interest of fair play, called at The Re- publican office last evening to tell the truth about the matter.
 According to his statement, a, gen tleman's" agreement had been made by the shopmen of. the Arizona Eastern that the first one who met Novah would administer a beating as partial payment for his having been a spottei and turned in what they term bunch of lies to the main office. Everyone from the foreman down, received un- favorable notice from his report. Ac- cording to Oliver, several men witt families were discharged on that ac- count
 Saturday night Kennedy, who was accompanied by another shop mar named Glenn, happened to meet Nova4 at Sixth street. The fight was on, but Glenn took no part in it. After Ken nedy had finished his job, he left Noval and went about his business.
 Naturally, Novak would not appear against Gleen and Kennedy" saiC Oliver last night. He knows why ht was beaten up. It was not because of the woman. Kennedy did not ever know who she was. and he is not the kind of man to be putting in on other 1 peoples affairs as was claimed
 l He is one of the most likeable mer at the shops, and any one will tell vol l that he is a gentleman. 7 But after tht treatment we had received at the hand:

Commercial, and Ed Halloran, nlght clerk at the Jefferson. All of them heard the cries for mercy and the shot and all of them were at the northwest corner of the Jefferson when they saw a man come out of the southern end of Wall street, cross to the south side of Jefferson, go to Center, approaching them, and then turn south to MeAr- thurs They all agreed that he was limping, bent over and was holding ms right hand at his side. The three boys said that he was bareheaded but was carrying sornthing in his hand.
 Pointed Gun at Him
 As he got nearer them he straight ened up and quit limping. Alphin said that his clothing was in disarray his shirt was open at the throat, his neck tie thrown to one side over his shoulder. Opposite the Jefferson he stopped for an instant, pulled up a trousers leg and seemed to be adjusting something.
 The most interesting witness was Jack Shields. who was stopping at the Jefferson As the man went south, Shields followed him on the east side of Center. When the man turned west at Madison, and Shields still followed him, the fugitive stopped behind a pillar and leveled a gun at him.
 Did you leave then?" Shields wac asked. T should say I did, was the reply. But later, in company with a man named Wolf, he took up the trail and saw the man cross to a vacant lot where there was a lot of tractors In conversation With Wolf, Shields said that he advised shooting the fugitive The man made some reply and went off | toward the Santa Fe depot, making his way between the depot and the Hard wick hotel, thence to the Southern Pa cific depot and then was seen no more

Phoenix Man Returns from

Harry J. Bennett returned yesterday morning from San Francisco, where he had gone to see about placing his in vention for raising sunllen ships at sea. 6 device which has been explained at length in The Republican. Ship own CTS and experts who have been shown the plans have agreed that, in theory at least, it is effective, and they cannot see why 1t should not be so in practice.
 In reply to a question by Moore &s scott, shipbuilders, as to his price for the invention, he said S1,000. .000. They admitted that that would not be an unreasonable price if it would work, and they suggested that he make ; demonstration of it. He said that if he had money enough to make the demon- stration he would not worry about the invention
 Will Undertake Test
 lie was asked to call the next day, and did so. He was told that the firm was willing to undertake the experi- ment. They will equip an old scow with the device and sink it at sea MT. Bennett was asked to send such pat terms as he may have for the various pafts of the device to San Trarcisco, where the castings will be mare. Pat ferns for other parts will be supplied The patterns on hand will be shipped at once, and it is thought that the trial will be made some time next month.
 Another invention, a rotary blow, en- gagged part of his attention while on the coast. That is a device by which the ground may be churned up in the rear of the blow by steel plates set on an axle in four rows. A 12- horsepower tractor will, it is said. plow strip four miles long and four feet wide in an hour. Mr Bennett was told by the superintendent of the Baker Iron Works that undoubtedly this would reYolutionize the business o1 blowing. There was also turned over 10 him the perfecting of a device for digging and topping sugar beets.

HARRY CREME IS KILLED AT DOOR
 IF HIS JOINT
Unknown Shoots Gambler at Close of Nights Busi-
 ness Revenge Believed
 To Be Cause of Tragedy

Harry Creme. boss gambler, paid a .ife's stake early yesterday morning. An assassin's bullet caused his almost instant death as he was finishing his nights work over the gaming tables at the Athenian club. a notorious gamb- ling dive at Al Wall street frequented mostly by Greeks. but not without its American patronage. Creme was 8 years old and unmarried.
 Cause for the killing had not been definitely fixed by investigating of ficers last night, although police and sheriffs officers alike were wont to dis credit the robbery motive theory. Tn fact. they had even eliminated thai theory in the pursuit of their investi- gations.
 Revenge for losses sustained over the gaming tables, due to Creme's al- legged unfair methods, or that he fel victim to some enlightened husband are the two theories now being con. sidered by officers as the possibts motive of the shooting. Both are pos abilities. it was stated last night
