PINNEY & ROBINSON,

bets Chinaman was uniting the bird for the approaching contest by remov- ing his head, his inside and otherwise dismembering him.
 Heine was inconsolable. He asked MT. Kraft if he had been raised on game cocks from childhood; if his taste had been cultivated to such a point that he could be satisfied with nothing less than chickens at $60 a dozen. MT. Kraft felt bad about it, not only because Heine had lost the game cock, but he felt bad on his own account If there is any kind of a bird a crow and a turkey buzzard would rather not digest it is a 5-year- old game cock. So each party has a grievance. MT. Kraft wants to leave it to arbitration. Heine wants to know if that will bring off the cock fight next Sunday.
 MT. Kraft's father, August Kraft of Los Angeles. who has recently returned from the Klondyke, will arrive in the city this morning and the matter will probably be adjusted today.

AMERICAN COAL FOR DEWEY.

New York, July 14.-The announce ment was made at the army building yesterday that the last shipment on an order given by the government to Charles J. Wittenberg, al coal dealer at Il Broadway, for 10000 tons of coal for Admiral Dewey's fleet, had been made on Wednesday, from this city. Immediately after the battle of Ma nila bay Admiral Dewey informed the navy department that he wanted 4O,- coo tons of American coal. MT. Wit. tenberg got the order, and the first consignment was shipped from Phila- delphia in the latter part of May. Ev- cry effort was made to keep the ship ment secret, as it was feared that the vessels carrying the coal might be intercepted by Spanish warships. The second consignment left this port the first week in June, and the third con- signment left Baltimore on June IS. In last Wednesdays shipment there was 5000 tons.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
A $5 Game Cock Eaten by Phoenix
 Practical Joker.

Last Tuesday Ed Ruppert, proprietor of the Anheuser, bought a chicken and put it into a cage in the rear of the saloon He told some friends that he was going to have it for his supper. A Chinaman was going to clean it for him and it was going to be fried at the peripatetic lunch counter in front of his place of business.
 Charles Kraft. also of the An heuser. overheard MT. Ruppert outline his plan and determined that he should feed upon his disappointment instead of that chicken.
 Late in the afternoon MT. Kraft took the chicken from the coop, a Chinaman cleaned it for him and he had it cooked at the lunch counter just as he had heard MT. Ruppert say he was going to do. The original plan seemed to be working out all right to the climax. the eating of the fowl. MT. Kraft sat down to his supper with satisfaction alloyed only by surprise at observing Mir. Ruppert sitting be- side him engaged on another chicken. In reply to questions adroitly put by MT. Kraft, MT. Ruppert said he had bought the chicken in the morning and had had a Chinaman prepare it for the cook. Mr. Kraft was con- fronted by a mystery and was further disturbed by the extreme toughness and leanness of his own chicken.
 He resolved to say nothing about it, but let the mystery work itself out. It began to unravel with startling ra- pidity about 6 o'clock that night. Heine, an electrician. who makes the Anheuser his headquarters, began making inquiry about game cock he had left there in the afternoon. He had put it in the coop and locked the door. It was gone. The revelation came to Mr Kraft with so great sud denness that he tipped his hand by merely circulating, 'fOh! My Gor!'' That was enough for a clue, which Heine followed rapidly and learned that the game cock was concealed be- hind Mir. Kraft's shirt front. Heine is man of equable temperament, but now his whole nature changed If there was any one thing in this world beside the salvation of his soul and the subject of electricity that he was more interested in than another, It was a cock fight. He had arranged a fight for next Sunday and had put up a forfeit He had no roosters. but he knew where there was one that could kill any other bird in Arizona outside Of Morenci. He had been trying to trade for two days and had just bought it for s5. He had spent the whole af- ternoon in putting gaffs on it and had at last got a pair that fit Then he went out to hunt suckers to bet against his rooster. While he was piling up

There was watermelon festival at Shlrley's barber shop yesterday after
 noon. It was the result of an cleo tlon bet of long standing between Major Frank Alkire and MT. Shirley. Major Alkire bet on Bryan and bi- metallism at the ratio of 16 to 1 with out waiting for the consent of any other nation on earth. Mr Shirley bet on Mckinley, tariff reform and sound money. That MT. Shirley won the bet has been long since a matter of history. The purse was seventy five watermelons. The election was not held in the watermelon season, so that the loser was given time to ar range his financial affairs so that he could pay it without embarrassment. When the next watermelon cycle came around MT. Shirley said his old time watermelon appetite was not brought

A WAR ISSUE STILL ALIVE.
The Bloody Chasm Not Qulte Extinct
 Yet

People of both the north and south have been congratulating themselves lately that the bloody chasm which has been insecurely bridged at one time and another, has oeen permanently filled with hatred of Spain; that all sectional issues mad feen settled and that the last vestige of Mason and Dixon's line had been obliterated That is a mistake. One section of the chasm continues to yawn, one stretch of the dividing line is still prominent and one issue is as lively as it was in 1S614.
 Yesterday forenoon Deputy Sheriff Henry George was riding past the Hotel Adams. Col. Cotton. sitting in a chair on the sidewalk, called to him saying: That's a good pacer." "It's no pacer at al1," replied Mir. George: its a racker" Whats the differ ence between a pace and a rack?" in quired Col Cotton. MT. George was unable to explain the difference in technical terms, but it was as distinct as the difference between a single-foot and fox trot Col Cotton insisted that the difference was purely imag- mary.
 There are only two ways to settle Q dispute of any sort to the satisfac- ton of both parties. One is to fight and the other is to bet In this case they bet and somebody got a Web ster's dictionary. which defined a 'pace" as a rack" and Track" as a "pace" An encyclopedia described 9 rack as shambling gait, distinct from the pace. Here were two diver gent authorities and it was decided to leave the dispute for settlement to the Turf, Field and Farm.
 MT. B. B. Gage, who wss present said that opinions of men on the sub ject of a difference between pacing and racking indicated from what part of the country a man came. North ern men believe there is no difference, and southern men. especially Ken tuckians, believe there is. Col. Cotton came from the extreme northeast, and Mir. George was born in Kentucky. Thus there is one more war issue to be settled.
 The southern men have the best of this argument. The rlotion of a horses front feet are somewhat sim liar in their outward play A pacer, however. follows the motion of the feet with his body to some extent, while the racker merely shambles. Many pacing horses can rack, but if they are urged they take the pacing gait. No racker has ever been able to go below three minutes, while the pacing record is very near the two minute marker. The strongest testi- mony in favor of a difference is fur nished by men who have ridden both pacers and rackers.

with it. They decided to let the set clement go over to the following season. It reached its height yester- day and Major Alkire caused seventy five big melons to be unloaded on the sidewalk in front of the Fashion bar Der shop. Three bath tubs were filled with them and 200 pounds of ice was distributed among them. Messengers were sent through the town inviting everybody to come to the feast, which ly everybody was there from the gov ernor and his staff down. A majority of the business men of the city were present at some time in the course of the banquet. It took place in the rear of the barber shop. The melons were quartered and spread out on two long boards. The watermelons and the first consignment of guests were pho tographed by A. F. Messenger. The snap of the camera was the signal for the onslaught Dr. Clymer had been elected surgeon for the occasion and each Of the druggists in attendance brought remedies calculated to arrest internal instructions. These precau- tions were wise, but unnecessary. There was only one casualty, and it was not serious. Theodore Thomas. recognized as the champion water melon eater of Arizona. set out to de- stroy his own record. He ate four or i've melons (there was dispute about the count) and retired from the con- test with himself on the ground that he had not had fair start. He had not been feeling well. He came out of the barber shop with the waistband of his trousers loosened and his shirt unreefed. The proprietor of the boot black stand inquired in surprise at seeing Mr. Thomas departing as long as a watermelon remained: "Wha' fo' yo' quit so soon?" Mr. Thomas was unable to make reply.
