Police Recover
Practically All
Stolen Articles

When your house is robbed do
not give up hope of getting back
the stolen articles.
AS long as Nogales has a very
efficient chief of police like J. j.
Lowe, the chances are ten to one
that you will recover everything
lost.
Through persistent effort day
and night on the part of Chief
Lowe, assisted by ]. M. Soto, Jr.,
ninety percent of the approximate
$3.50 worth Of clothing and jewel
ry stolen from the Craig Potting-
er home on Ellis street has been
recovered. Some was found this
week and some the week before.
The robbery occurred about a
month ago.
Recovery Of the stolen goods
was a result of the arrest Of Je-
sus Rivera who was. found crouch
ing near the Spiro Proto home on
Grand avenue presumably getting
ready to rob that residence mas
much as he had with him bar
for raising windows. Taken to
the police station he implicated
another man, now believed to be
somewhere in Sonora, and articles
taken from the Pottinger home
and beaded bag secured in rob-
berry of the home of the Misses
Shannon were found in Nogales,
Sonora. The police still have
hopes Of recovering other things
stolen in the robbery of the Shan
ron and Garth Daniels homes.
Chief Lowe and Policeman Soto
are always on the job and their
recent work in breaking up the
| work of the pair of robbers, both
Of whom are former convicts al
the state prison at Florence, is
very commendable and proof that
| Nogales has the right chief and 9
CORPS Of able assistants.
