case, but until that time he had nothing to say. A fine horse was recently stolen from Mr. Slayback, on the Gila. The thief was followed by Back Smith to Graham County, Arizona, and the horse recovered. From the July 6, 1888, Issue of The Enterprise Pete Jensen In Trouble Last week Pete Jensen, formerly a Bear Creek cowman, was arrested and placed in jail at Tucson, Arizona, at the instance of Zecken- dorf & Company of that place, who claim that Jensen has swindled that firm to the amount of about $2200. After selling out here Jensen went to Nogales, Arizona, to engage in the mercan- tile business with his father in law, Wm. Smith, and was reported as doing well for some time. On leaving this county he received letters of introduction and credit from Lindauer & Co., which he seems to have used to good advantage in his new location. He bought goods by the car load and Zeckendorf & Co., had such confi- dence in Jensen that they went so far as to advance the freight charges to Nogales, where upon the arrival of a particular car load of flour Jensen immediately proceeded to smuggle it across the line into old Mexico, his creditors contend for the purpose of swindling them. He was arrested and now languishes in durance charged with embezzlement and other crimes, and thus far he has been unable to obtain bail.
