Hounded by offi- cers and broken In spirit, he decided to glve up the desperate chances of the life he was leading and trust to the leniency of the law. Alvord gave himself up last night to Sheriff Del Lewis across the Mexican line and was brought to Tucson to-day for safe keeping.

Accordingly the surrender was carried 6ut and Alvord was brought here this morning in the custody of Del Lewis and Stlies. He was taken the rounds of all the saloons, where he greeted the oid friends he has not seen for three years. Alyord, who was formerly Deputy Sher- iff of Cochise County, was very popular | in Southern Arizona beéfore he perpetrated | the train robberies at Cochise in Sep- | tember, 1889, and at Fairbanks in Febru- | ary, 19%0. He was indicted for attempt- | ing’ fo rob the United States mails in | both_of these places, and these charge: | still hang over his héad.

It was Al- | vord who persuaded Chacon to cross the line and, with Stiles, make the attempt | to steal’ the horses at Sneed’s ranch. Stiles, Chacon and Alvord met across the | line in Sonora when the question was first brought up, and Alvord was a party to the plot, although he feared to venture on United States soil.

Scott Is Guest of Honor on Eve of His Leaving for New York to Take Up New Duties With Shipbuilding Trust. g - ENRY T. SCOTT was given a banquet last night by his Pa- cific-Union Club friends on the eve of his departure for New York to take up new dyties con- nected with the administration of the shipbuilding trust. As stated formally on the menu card, the banquet was “in honor of a useful citizen and loyal friend, upon the occasion of being called for greater services, in recognition of an able and successful career.” President H. M. Newhall presided as toastmaster. At his right was the guest of honor, and on either side of them the directors of the club. The main dining- room, in which the banquet was held, was elaborately decorated with gladiolas and greenery. ‘When coffee and cigars had been reached, President Newhall spoke briefly and introduced the guest of honor. Mr. Scott expressed his appreciation of the honor shown him. Those who responded to toasts were Julius Kruttschnitt, Joseph D. Grant, T. C. Van Ness and Horace G. Platt.

Thousands of dollars’ worth of are already destroyed and a high east wind is driving the flames through the forest, devastating all in their path. In the Eikhorn country fires are also raging in choice timber, doing great damage. e e Flames Sweep Sweedes Flat. MARYSVILLE, Sept. 11.—A message re- try about Sweedes Flat has been swept by most disastrous forest fires. Barns, fences and in some instances livestock were destroyed. by and Fruitvale were threatened at one time. Men, women and children fought the flames for three days, the women in particular doing splendid work. No at tempt has been made as yet to figure the loss.

BEAUMONT, Tex., Sept. 1L.—The oil field is on fire, and judging by the great volume of smoke which is flowing in from Spindle Top there is grave fear that great loss will be sustained, if the field is not entirely destroyed. The fire started early in the evening in some waste oil along the Texas and Sa- bine tracks and burred about sixty feet of trestle. This was got under control | and it was believed that all danger had | been passed, but in the meanwnile the fire had been communicated to the field. A number of huge settling tanks, con- taining thousands of barrels of petroleum, have alr: exploded and others are re- | ported as being in the direct line of the | | tire. which has spread over a wide area, | The ground is saturated with oil and there is no chance of stopping the pro- gress of the flames to-night. | spreading rapidly, and it is believed that light.

At 1 o’clock the big tanks belonging to the Higgins Company are burning. Run- ners have ‘been sent out in every direc- tion for the men who own them or rep- resent the companies. The streets are filled with people, thou- sands of them now on the way to the field in every sort of vehicle and afoot. There are 410 producing wells in the field, some of which are buried under earth to safeguard against fire, At 1:30 o'clock this (Friday) morning the telegraph operator at Gladys says he fears he will be compelled to leave his st and all means of communication will e cut off.

Expresses Urqualified Ap- proval of the National Ad- ministration. OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 11.—The Republi- can State Convention to-day nominated Joseph Howell, of Wellsville, Cache Coun- ty, for Congress; Judge W. M. McCarthy, of Sevier County, for Supreme Court Jus- tice, and adopted a platform in which mention of Cuban reciprocity was omit- ted. On this point the beet sugar inter- ests of the State won out after a some- what bitter and protracted debate in the committee on resolutions. Friends of Ccngressman Sutherland, who was one of the Republican “insurgents” on the reci- procity question in the last session of Congress, were determined that specific indorsement of the Presideat's Cuban policy should have no place in the plat- form, and this policy prevailed. In this they were aided by the church people, who insisted that a compromise platform be adopted cordially indorsing President Roosevelt's administration, but| leaving out direct reference to the proposed twen- ty per cent reduction. So strong was the feeling over this feature that |had the original programme as regards the order of business been carried out, it|is prob- able that an unpleasant incident would have occurred. United States Senator Beveridge of In- diana was scheduled to deliver speech this evening, marking the formal opening of the Republican campaign in Utah. This rogramme was changed last night to ave Senator Beveridge speak at the close of the morn‘ng session tg-day. CHEERS FOR THE PRESIDENT. When the beet sugar sympathizers heard of this they openly threatened to give him a hostile reception, believing it a plan to influence the conventidn in fa- vor of a Cuban reciprocity plank} the re- suit being that the programrhe was changed, Senator Beveridge speaking this evening. Then, with the latform adopted, the delegates more than made up for their refusal to hear him in the morning by greeting- him with wild cheers. ‘An amendment to the platform, offered by Congressman Sutheriand, declaring it to be the sense of the convention that “President Roosevelt be nomi- nated for President in ,1904 as his own successor,” was cakried with a whoop, the deélegates standing in their scats and cheering for some time. The platform as adopted deplores the death of President McKinley, recognizes in ‘Theodore Roosevelt his worthy sue- cessor, and expresses unqualified approval of ‘his administration. It indorses the Republican national platform of 1900, fa- vors the protective fariff as it now ex- ists, recognizes the right of labor to or- ganize for its own protection, and favors a national board of arbitration to decide controversies between capital and labor. It favors the passage of laws providing for governmental supervision and controi of trus It condemns ‘‘unjust and op- pressive aggregations of capital,” but also condemns the ‘‘Democratic policy of de- struction” as regards corporations. Dem- ocratic assaults on the army and navy are condemned as being purely pariisan and_ productive of rebellion and blood- shed. The Government is congratulated on the final steps toward building an in- teroceanic canal. Stringent immigration laws are demanded. CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE. Senator Kearns' efforts to open the Uintah Indian reservation and in behall of irrigation laws are heartily com- mended. . United States Senator Beveridge of Indiana opened the Republican campaign BOER GENERALS APPEAL FOR AID Widows and Orphans of ~South Africa in Dire Distress. Late Leaders Say England ‘Will Not Accord Suffi- cient Relief. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 11.—The Boer gen- erals, Botha, Dewet and Delarey, accom- panied by Messrs. Wolmerams, Wessels and Rei\z, arrived here to-day from The Hague, and were given a hearty wel~ come. Replying to an address, General Delarey said they did not come here in the character of political personages. but solely to obtain assistance for destitute Boer families. 2 At the reception of the generals at the town hall, General Dewet in reply to the burgomaster’'s speech said: “We have come to ask for help for the widcws, orphans and other destitute persons. Upon assistance of this kind from England the Boers canpot count. The general also remarke “If Eng- land wishes to have the Boer descend- ants of the Huguenots as ‘subjects before God,” I am willing to be a loyal subject before God until the day of God shall come. We wish to be loyal to the new government, hoping that the latter will carry-out its engagements.” At a_ subsequent luncheon General Botha declared that peace, which had brought them all they had desired, was due to the mediation of the Dutch Pre- mier, Dr. Kuyper, who had thus ren- dered service to the Boers. General Botha also thanked Holland for the manner in which it had welcomed Messrs. Kruger, Steyn and Reitz. General Botha, again speaking, said: “We have lost our independence and bave endeavored to obtain compensation from the new government for our burned farms. We have every reason to believe that no compensation will be forthcom- ing. Help is absolutely necessary to pre- vent the ruin of thousands.” Sultan Roats the Berber Tribe. LONDON, Sept. 12—A dispatch from Fez, Morocco, to the Times, says the Berber tribe of Geruan, in Mokinos, was attacked September 4 by a combined movement of troops and utterly routed. with great loss of life. Much loot was taken. All the Berber tribes have sub- mitted to the authority of the Suitan. The mother of the Sultan of Morogco, says the dispatch, died September 6. Shi was a woman of enlightenment and largely influenced the Sultan toward lb- eral iGeas on all subjects. @i in Utah to-night, speaking at the opera heuse before the delegates to the Republh- can State Convention. The Senator was siven close attention and was frequently spplauded. He eulogized President Roosevelt, concluding as follows: Do you name courage? Theodore Roosevelt represents it. Do you name honesty” Theo- dore Roosevelt is its personification. Do you name patriotism? - Theodore Roosevelt named himself on the fleld of battle. Do you name every interest of the repubiic? relation to every other. No section owns him: he belongs to the nation. No influence claims him; he listens to the voice of the whole people. The humblest citizen may meet mm face to face and have full a hearing as the richest man in the land; and he will give wealth and property their just and legal rights in spite of demagogue or mob. Simple justice to all—this is the spirit that rules the mind and heart of the chief magistrate of the American people. How may that which is best for all be practically accomplished—this is the question he puts to every probiem that confronts him. United States Senators Clark and War- rep of Wyoming were also present and spoke briefly. QUT-OF-T(IWN ORDERS FiLLED FOR MEN'S OR BOYS' CLOTHING, -FURNISH- INGS OR HATS. since. wore.
