WAS SHORT ON CLOTHES.
An Early Morning Car Picked Up
Queer Passenger.

The patrons of the street railway are not
as a rule inclined 10 be fastidious as to
the dress of their fellow passengers. but
if an example sci yesterday morning is
followed to any extent there is likely to
be some complaint.
The Barnard street car was coming
north on it's first trip shortly after 6
o'clock. The fog had not yet lifted, and
the electric lights were Still shimmering
in the haze. AT the corner of CASTOR
street man, who had been in hiding be-
hind aztec, stepped out in the street and
brought the car 10 a halt. The first thing
the. conductor noticed as the man gor
ab0afd was that he was bareheaded and
barefoOted and the next thing he observ-
ed was that the mans attire consisted
Of an undershirt and a pair Of drawers.
This was everything he had on. His ap-
pafel did not even include socks.
The individual thus strangely and hard
ly attred had had the forethought, now
ever, 10 provide himself with street car
fare, and as there were no female pas
sengers on board, the conductor offered no
objections to his riding. In fact, the con-
ductor was so surprised at the mans
strange appearance that he did not find
words with which TO make objections uu-
til the car was again under way. on be-
q
Of his apparel, the stranger, for his name
is stu unknown, told clumsy story about
having had trouble with the people at his
boarding house, ana having been thrust
out without even being allowed to put
on his clothes. He volunteered the state
ment that he had spent the night at the
Alhambra Music Hail. but the conductor
pertinenuy remarked that he had come a
good ways out to catch car for a man
who had so little clothing on.
When the car arrived az Congress street
The scautily atured passenger jumped Off
and boiled in the direction Of West Broad
street. Whether his home is in that neigh
bOrhOod or whether he was heading for a
haud-me down clothing store for the pur-
pose Of replenishing his wardrobe, Is not
known There were two other passengers
on the car, q white man and an Old negro
but neither knew the scantily attired in
dividual. and unless some one recognized
him as he FASTENED along Congress street
his identity Is likely TO remain unknown.
what he was doing IN that neghbor-
hood at that hour of the morning without
bis proper raiment is also likely to re-
main a mystery. II any of the residents
OF that vicinity should discover an extra
outfit of clothing on his premises this ar
icle may enable him to account for H.
The fellow certainly had nerve in taking
street car TO come down town. though
he may have figured upon this as the
quickest way out Of am unpleasant pre-
dicament He might az least have had
the Ingenuity to say that he had been
walking in his sleep.

CRIMINALS WE'RE PUNISHED.

Judge Norwood Disposed of AssOrt-
ment of MisdemeanOr Offenders.
Judge Norwood's weekly assortment of
petty criminals that appeared before his
honor on yesterday was not interesting.
The members of the detachment had been
arrested for stealing articles of small
value, without any extraordinary display
of ingenuity, and received comparatively
light sentences. Some of them had COM
mitted armed or unarmed assaults on
their neighbors, which Judge Norwood ap-
peared to think justified in part at least,
for heavy PENALTIES were not imposed.

stsry ef Slave

To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D Williams, Of Manchester, Mich. tells how such slave was made free. He says: My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work" This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly cures ner- vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache. backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sick'y, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by the Tombstone Drug Store.

With the construction of the Tuc- con i Nogslss railroad, the distance by rail beswssn the two points will Dc reduced nearly two thirds of the pre- sent dis.snea. The Star says the pre- cent long haul by rail makes it possible for wsgop irsightsrs to move freight from Nossles to Tucson at . less cost than is charged by rail. Much freight is new coming from No gales to Tucson by wagon freight. Thi. should not be. The way to avoid this slow freight bu-iness is the con- strucsion of the railroad link between thsse two points.
