A PIeasaus Eseaiag.

The Presbyterian church edifice was filled so full last Sunday night that extra seats had to be brought in from the skating rink. It was all on ac- count of the children's Sunday school concert. This school, reorganized the past spring, has been prospering finely under the efficient superintendency of Mrs D A MrNeil.
 Quite recently, excellent new song books have been purchased for the Sunday school, and it was partly to show how the children succeed with them that the concert was devised, and that the little folks were so enthusias- tic.
 As 1t was A praise service, the pro gramme was taken up largely with music, but Laura Crabel recited a few verses entitled The Other Shore" m a perfert and tnuching manner The sentiment Of these verses was fur ther emphasized by the duett "The Other Side" rendered in clear pleasing tones by Mollie Bauer and Gertrude Whitney. Nellie Clark's agreeable recitation "If." A Mothers Soliloquy Of her Boy, was naturally and feelingly finished with the song My Boy has Wandered Far" assis.ed by Gertrude Whitney's alto. This was responded to by Miss Maggie Hill and Mrs Whitney in the song "Mother is pray ing for me" Oakley Arnold, Hudson and Lewie Ecclestnn and Charlie Stil- well from the boys class recited well the verses on love from the III chap ter of l John, and the school followed with a chorus "Wonderful Love" The duet by Miss Minnie Hill and Mrs Whitney was charmingly rendered.
 The two choruses with responsive reading were well rendered and the choir gave efficient service
 Members of the infant class must uot be omitted as by many their song was considered one of the best of te evening. One of the class recited the words of Jesus, Suffer little children 10 come unto me" and then all joined in a Fong having those words for a chorus.
 The whole affair was a success and the programme was listened to with that courteous demeanor and intelli- gent appreciation SO characteristic of Tombstone audiences.

 NAKED AS ADAM. Strange Freak of an Appar, ently Sane Man, He Travels Through the Country Without Cloth ing in the Broil-
 in0 Sun.
Who Is He:

A man of fine physique, well cut features and intelligent looks, Oc- cupies a place on the floor of the county jail. He was arrested at Char leston this morning by Frank Broad and brought back to Tombstone. He has been travelling through the couu- try stark naked, and although he has frightened nearly every one by his ap- pearance, who chanced to see him, he talks perfectly rational and does not appear tc be out of reason. He claims to be afflicted with a skin dis ease and that he cannot wear clothes. He says that he came from Mexico and says he created ripple of excite ment in that country, where the Mex jeans thought he was doing pennance for his gins and advised him to pack a cross with him. He carries canteen of small size, piece oi white cloth which he puts on when approaching a town, and pair of sandals which are simply the soles of shoes tied on with leather strings.
 He was met at Pick Em Up yester- day morning by parties who hastened to get out of his way as his appearance denoted a iersnged mind. Near Clarksburg he was met by L. A. Smith who conyersed with hIm and to whom he told his tale without any appear ance of being deranged.
 Parties who came through from Deming, few days since, state that he was walking this way along the railroad track as naked as when born The sun has tanned his skin until it is dark brown. He has light blue eyes, a handsome nose and fine mouth and chin, stands about 6 feet and has about a weeks growth of beard and A slight mCustsehe. He evidently knew Ex-Msrshall Meade, .ior he muttered something about the U. :. Marshall when he caught sight Of ex-Marshall Meade. He was given blanket wher. brought up here and upon seeing Jus tice Alyord and being told that he was a justice of the peace, asked him for a copy oi the revised statutes saving that he would plead his own case.
 He will have an examination before Probate Judge WOlcott before any thing further is done with him.

Ben and Ille RihIe.

During the recent examination of Deputy Marshal Breedlove at Los Angeles, an incident occurred that was amusing and at the same time full Of sense. Ben Goodrich was de- lending the prisoner. The public had been wrought u? to the highest pitch of excitement over the killing of Sail or Brown of the Charleston by Breed love and his assistants. The court room was crowded and petitions were sent to the judge asking for speedy and swift justice. to satisfy the clam. or oi the outraged people.
 The judge was inclined to grant the request of the public and not admit the prisoner to bail, or to put it at an amount that he could not raise.
 This aro1sed Ben who arose and said "I submit, your honor, that the court is not expected to keep its fin- ger on the public pulse and to govern its action according to the beating of that pulse. If so, we might now de- stroy our written laws and tear down our archives of justice. What is this public? It is but collection of indi- viduals, of human beings possessed of human hearts, human hopes, human passions. The public may be misled just as an individual may he misled. We have history to show that the pub lie has been misled. and being so mis- led has done great wrong. Christ was crucified a. the demands Of clamor ous but misle! public.

A Goad Time.

Charleston is regaining some of it's old time notoriety as resort for the festively inclined on the sabbath day. Yesterday the Mexicans employed at the slag dump of the Charleston smel- ter, went on "a little time" and results were more damaging than the affair at Phoenix between Humphries and the iceman. They had a fight in which ' 7heslthy men took part. IL was after the style of the late fad in prize ring circles of pntting a bunch of champions in the ring and awarding the prize to the one who stood up the longest and conquered the balance. Four of them were brought ID before Justice Alvord today and three more are on the way up. Out of the four who ran the gauntlet this a m, three of them named D Gellego, r Oranto and M Beguinin were sent to the county jail for thirty days each in de
 sult or S5O me. 1escas was the most unfortunate of the lot. He rests at Charleston with an uncertainty Iegarding his recovery. During the fight some one Of the crowd level led shot gun at his head and emptied the contents into the side of his face. taking away piece of the cheek bone one eye and a large part of his nose A warrant for the arrest of the sup posed guilty party has been issued.

It was in the fall of the year and was just getting cold There was a light fire in the big stove and Jim White, who was my sergeant, several officers and myself were tOasting our toes around the stove. The door was just ajar, and while we were sitting there talking the door sud denly flew open, and who stood in the doorway but Wolf Cohen. He was pale and excited, and I'll never forget the look on the mans face. There was murder in his eye, and he shook like a leaf He stood there a second, and then said: Lieutenant Deitsch, you did me wrong, and I'm going to kill you Without another word he pulled a biz revolver and fired.
