 is supposed Bill Scott was indldtea murder of the Singley family last N5ve7!z Der. The day of his arraignment and trial has net been set. Public sentiment is in favor of giving the prisoner a fair trial.
 The citizens of Hale county while doing all in their power to aid in securing for the prisoner a trial, ther are many who fear an outbreak at any time.
 In some quarters the feeling is intense against the prisoner and it would take but little to stir up a sentiment having for it's purpose the lynching of Scott. The better element in the county is having all 1t can do to prevent an uprising. but as the time for the trial approaches it may be impos- sib.e to keep down the desire to mete out swift vengeance to the prisoner.
 The character of the crime, and the splendid standing of the murdered family has tendency to infiame even the most lawabiding citizens.

THE WOOLEN BUSINESS
NO Great Boom, But the Situation Not
 Like That of the Cotton Industry.

Providence, R. l., Apl.4 2.-The de- pression In the cotton goods business IS responsible for a report that was circulated to some extent today that there was to be a curtailment of pro- ductlon and a reduction of the running in local woolen and worsted mills.
 A manager of one of the leading woolen and worsted mills said yester- day that there is no likelihood of the mills being put on short time, aI- though the anticipated boom in the woolen and worsted business has not been so substantial as was expected When asked if many orders were be- Ing cancelled, he said that cancella- tons of orders occur every year, and those which are made now are not of much greater account than usual. He said 1t is always four times as hard to get prices up to the higher level than It IS to break them down.
 He said it is simply a situation in which the manufacturers have not been able to get the selling prices yet that were had in 1893, although the cost of production has been advanced; the buyers are holding off as long as they can against paying the higher prices that were expected, and will not pay them until the last of the staple goods brought into the market under the old tariff are ex- hausted, and the manufacturers

THE SOUTH BISBEE COMPANY

President John P. Martin of the South Bisbee Copper Mining and Townsite Improvement company, left Bisbee last week for New York, where he goes to close a number of deals for large blocks of the company's stock which is being bought by joint inves- tors. President Martin will also pur- chase hoisting and other necessary mining machinery which his company will need in the development of their properties.
 The company now has over sixty claims in the corporation and is one of the greatest enterprises on the Pacific coast. It seems an eXaggeration to some to state that over 75,0OO shares of this stock have been purchased by the citizens of Bisbee and in Cochise county.
 To our eastern subscribers who have been making inquiries regarding the company no better recommendations could be furnished than the earnest support that this enterprise is receiv- ing from the citizens of our city and county.
 MT. Martin has been here for two days negotiating for the purchase of other mining claims in this basin and with the completion of the deals the holdings of the company will exceed that of any mining corporation in the world.
 The claims are all located in the copper basin and have first class sur face indications and on many are shafts showing good grades of ore. The new double compartment shaft which was begun recently is now down to a depth of thirty feet, and as soon as the necessary material for tim bering the shaft arrive the working force will be increased and eight hour shifts will be employed to do the wo-k. -BiSbee Orb.
