S aughter's ranch for training pur-

The committee having in charge the
arrangements for the reception OF the
visiting ''school marms" is preparing
zens should do all in their power to
assist the committee in the matter, so
as to make the visit of the ladies at
tending the institute a pleasant one.
The male pedagogues can take care of
themselves.-Bisb Orb.
The fire this afternoon has brought
to the minds of the citizens and tax
payers of Bisbee the necessity of first
class fire company and considerable
more equipments. Two or three stand
pipes are need On upper Main street
while one is needed in the vicinity of
the opera house and two others in
Brewery Gulch AT present tber e is not
hose enough and in case of several
lengths tursting the firemen would be
seriously handicapped. The present
organization does not seem to be what
it should. While we arenot criticisiDg
tn 2 present members we think that d
much better company could be organ
lied. There are plenty of able bodied,
| ~
would be glad to organize company
should they be given the privilege OF
doiug sO.-Bisbee Orb.
Local football fiends will be interest
ed in the long kick made by P. J..
O'Dea, fullback and captain of the Unit
versity of Wisconsin team, in the
western University team of Evanston
Iii. O'Dea scored drop kick goal
from the go yard line-the longest
kick on record. The long distance re-
cord of base ball throwing was
broken this .yesr by Wagner
of Louisville, who in four
trials threw a ball $780, 4O3. 800 aud 1893
feet. The record of 400 feet u inches
made by John Hatfield of the New
York Mutuals in 1872 had never been
broken in any we'll authenticated case
until Wagner made his long throw,
though it is claimed that Ed Crane of
the Boston Unions in 1884 threw a ball
400 feet inch.-TucSOn Citizen.
These was Jail delivery at Wilcox
last night. The Mexican who was
wanted in Tombstone for robbery had
been arrested at Wilcox, and was put
in Jail there awaiting arrival of Sheriff
White to bring the prisoner back. The
visit of Sheriff White was anticipated
by the prisoner and he accordingly
took French leave astonishing both
the sheriff when he arrived, and
the authorities at Wilcox who
were laboring under the impression
that the Jail, recently built. was burg
lar proof and of the non-escspable
pattern. An investigation showed that
the Mexican, who was almost Her.
culss in strength. had wrenched &C
iron hook from his cell and with this
pounded upon, twisted and broke the
lock that barred him from liberty. He
made his escape through the roof and
has not been heard of since. The sur
prise is that jail break could have
been so easily accomplished in view o
the fact that the steel Jail and cells
were new and recently built by the
county. The gold watch and money
recovered from the prisoner when ar.
rested has been identified and return
ed to the owner.-Tom bstone PrOspec
