OFFICERS LIKE
SHREVE;; CRIME
RECORD REVIEW

A message from Tombstone yester-
day noting that a number of men
sentenced to various terms in the
state penitentiary had been taken from
the county jail at Tombstone to
Florence to the state institution also
contained the significant information
that Victor B. Shreve, the man who
plead guilty to car stealing after he
was all but crushed in the wreck OF
car stolen in Douglas, had not been
taken to Florence by the officers but
is held at Tombstone in the county
Jail for further investigation.
This little matter recalls series
of crimes the first of which occurred
on Christmas eve when the Lone Star
service station in this city was held
up by man using a long, heavy,
silvered six shooter. The hold-up
netted the thieves some $50. There
were two of them as inc entered the
service station and the other drove
up later to take him away in a little
car.
A peculiar element of this case
which linked it with Victor Shreve
and the car stealing case which came
Fup several days later was that a big
silvered six gun was found among the
luggage and litter picked, with Shreve,
from the wreck of the stolen car.
Although the service station employe
i said he was certain that the gun with
which he was held up was a smaller
gun it was noted especially by the Of
ficers that in first describing the hold
up the service station man had de-
scribed the gun as very large, and
silvered.
4 Records do not show that Shreve
! had any companions. He has not
been accused of ribbing service sta
tions at the point of gun. He denies
/ having done so. The man who rob-
bed the service station is described
as a much larger man than Shreve
who is rather heavy set, short in
dividual.
4 A man, suspected in the service
| station robbery was held by Officers
/ for a number of days in connection
with another case but was finally re-
4 leased. When Shreve was first ar
rested with a bad cut on his temple
and many body bruises, he told an
interesting story about having been
permitted to ride in the stolen car
from Bisbee west. He later amended
that story sufficiently to indicate that
he had ridden in the stolen car all the
way from the street where it was
stolen in Douglas and he plead guilty
! to having stolen the car himself.
For all that, officers maintain that
Shreve is peculiarly close mouthed
He is a good talker on. random sub
iects and well acquainted with the
border country but when it comes te
questions about who else might have
been with him ih the stolen car, what
other business he or his companions
might have been engaged in or things
of that nature Victor B. Shreve SUI

Officers like him however and th'
idea was advanced yesterday that h
might have been kept at the count!

FIND some WAY
TO RETAIN FAIR
PLEA OF THESE

While there has been no step
taken toward further consideration of
the question of whether or not there
will be fair exhibit at the Cochise
county fair grounds this year, there
continues to be a belief that some
plan will be devised which will insure
the retention of the annual fair meet
ings. The supposition that the mer-
chants and business men generally
were unanimously against the fair or
negligently allowing it to go by de-
fault appears not to be the case.
While there are some who are un-
qualifiedly opposed to the fair meet
lngs, they seem to be in the minority.
One of the advocates of continuing
the fair is A. G. Karger, proprietor Of
the Bankhead Motor garage. Mr..
Karger has been in business in Doug
las for a good while and he says he
feels that it would be step back
ward to allow the fair to be dropped.
Douglas is just at the stage that
makes it necessary that we provide
something that. will give us advertis-
ing along civic lines and it seems
to me that the fair offers that
chance" said Karger There is a
sort of good fellowship in a fair crowd
that is hard to get in any other
gathering and for that reason alone.
would like to see it maintained. I'm
not sufficiently advised concerning
the problems of management to ex-
press an opinion on that but with
out question, we all have, a, firm
faith that the men who have been
directing the fair have ability to
reach some method that will retain
the fair and at the same time remove
from their shoulders some, of the irk-
some work that it appears they have
been carrying. I am for the fair
Another who favors the fair is a..
B. Egland the harness and saddle
maker in c. avenue. "By all means
retain the fair" said Egland. IF 1T
is necessary to find some other plan
of conducting it, then let us have it in
the new plan Admissions might be
charged and help carry the expense
that way. I hope that those who
have the final say about it will make
certain that the fair is continued.
j. Ortega, shoe dealer of G ave-
nue. is another favoring the fair. He
saws that he has always been for the
fair and does not want to lose it.
''The fair may not be money maker
for the merchants during the days it
is being held" says Ortega, "but it
makes our friends glad Of chance
to come to the city and that is worth
while I want to see it continued" 4

Oil Indications At
 ChlCkal00n

An oil producing well on a large scale is a certainty in the ChicaloOn field, in the belief of Captain Ivan 1. Peterson, of the Peterson Oil Association, who with his superin- te'.dent of drilling operation came in yesterday from Chickaloon on a speeder to get some repairs made to the under-reamer at the railroad ma chine shops.
 The showing has been such since drilling operations were resumed re . gently that two shifts of twelve hours each will be employed and the company has purchased one of the government buildings at Chickaloon aud moved it to the Peterson Camp to house the augmented force.
 '"The gas in the we'll is now very strong" said Captain Peterson to day, "the bailer often coming up through column of about $50 feet of water with a pressure at the bottom of the hole of -340 pounds still retaining enough gas pressure to throw about one-fourth of it's contents overheard when it reaches the surface.
 If we should shut off the water we would have commercial gas right | now Small quantities of oil are seeping in at the bottom and show 1 ing up when bailing. MT. Salter 1 superintendent of the drilling opera | tiols says the showing we already have made is wonderfully good and is certain we will strike a good well The same showing if had in Calf o. nia, would be capitalized in mil l lions. MT. Salter was sent here by the Richfield Oil Company officials the president and vice-pesident o! l which are both interested in ouI company. ."-Anchorage Times.

Trollers Still Strike On
 baranot GrounaS

According to statement of repre- sentatives of the Alaska Troller' $ Association the Buyers have not
 been living up to their agreements made last year that before making any cut in prices the Buyers wou d give an eight-day notice to repr > sentatives of the Association and in like manner the Association was to give eight-day notice to the Buyers before making any demand as re- gards weights and prices.
 he Association now claims tha. the Buyers have not lived up to their agreement as they cut prices on June End and again on June 17th without giving previous notice to the Association. Prices effective as of June IS were 15-8-5 for whites. Prior to the cut in prices the average boat did not make any money at prices of 1885 so that at prices of 15S-5 they would be fishing for health and glory.
 The report is current that outlook for mildcured salmon is very good with only small holdings on the mar kct at present time. That this mar ket condition does not justify the cu.s in prices made effective as oil dates previously mentioned.
 approximately from 400 to 500 fishermen attended the meetings at Pot Alexander, capitol of the troll ing fleet.

Industrial School Be In NarroWS

Lasr week Charles w. Hawkes. worth, William l.. Paul. Mir. FlorN and Mir. HolLrook of the Forestry Service were on weeks jaunt look inS for a suitable location for : proposed industrial school for tho Natives of the First Division. They looked over sites at LOring, Burnett Inlet, Shoemaker Bay, near Wrar- gell, Mason's Camp, south end of 'The Narrows and Cape Fanshaw When they returned to Petersbur& on Saturday morning highly enthus;~ aet.c with the Mason homestead site at the south end of the Narrows. T. was by far the most ideal location
 Over 13O acres of land will be available for the site; water power for a hydro-electric plant with a ca pacity of 150 to 200 horse power can be developed; natural protector harbOr: in line with the steamer traffic; most centrally located to the towns and villages of the First Division. In every respect, there is not another site that can compare to it. according to Mr. Hawkesworth.
 Before leaving for Juneau, MT. requested Mir. Earl Dinner to give his personal attention to the mat ter of securing an option on the place from Mrs. Mason of Wrange1l and Miss Dora Drowatiski, also of W'angell who hold homestead pa tent to the place. Unable to leave for Wrangell last Saturday night, he turned the matter over to Mr. Roher Allen, president of the local com mercial club to take up the matte" of securing an option on the place
 When he saw Mrs Mason, she was willing to give a ten-montn option on the place but could not make any statement as to whether Miss DroWatski would agree to the proposition However in view of the position taken by Mrs. Mason it is generally believed that the oth-. holder in the homestead will be will ing to be reasonable and not ask an unreasonable price for the place.
 MT. Hawkesworth when inter viewed last week stated that he was gcing to recommend that the depar ment take steps to secure the loo T. ton and secure appropriation to put in the plant as soon as possible.
 The Forestry men were very much inclined to favor the idea of road between Petersburg and the pro posed school site.
 it is expected that when complat- ed the school will have a capacity for the educating of 300 pupils in both the academic and industrial lines All of the industries which are in demand will be Incorporated iii the curriculum
 1t is estimated that for a school of the proposed capacity, an apprn- p-iation of $5OO,OOO will be neces sary and an annual appropriation of approximately $150,000 annual;
