WITH MUSICIANS AND
MUSICAL PEOPLE.

The death of Mr. M d. Coburn,
which occurred last Friday, after an
illness of many weeks, though not
unexpected, has cast a gloom of sor-
row over the hearts of the entire mu-
steal circle of Savannah. Mr. Coburn
was among the few remaining sur
vivors of the coterie of friends who
many yeaSs ago gathered together at
different residences here for an even
ing of music-a people who in the past
decade have passed away too rap
idly. Prominently identified together
in this manner in the far distant past
were the late Judge William D. Har-
den, the late William Neyle Haber-
sham, and Mr.. Coburn. Each up to
the time of his death was constant
full supporter of that art for its up
building in the community.
Mr.. Coburn had not only been a
prominent member of the Savannah
Music Club since its organization in
1896, but was one of the original found
ers of the old Mozart Club over forty
years ago, and also one of the num-
Der who succeeded in reorganizing it
at the close of the Civil War. His
efforts in advancing the art of music
in Savannah were unceasing through
out his long life and his sole reward
was the pleasure of seeing his efforts
crowned with success.
Mrs. NJ. Ed. Wilson has Just passed
through probably the busiest week in
music that any local singer has eX-
perienced here. Commencing with last
Sunday she sang a solo at both the
morning and evening services in the
First Baptist Church, Wednesday
night she sang at the midnight mass
at the convent Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning she sang the serV-
ices at the Synagogue, and Saturday
night she sang at the Christmas gath
ering for the sailors in port given at
the Savannah Port Society building.
In addition to this there have been the
numerous rehearsals for this work be-
sides rehearsals for the elaborate
Christmas music that will be given at
the First Baptist Church this morn
ing.
1t is reported that rehearsals will
commence shortly for a Chopin con-
oerto to be played before the Music
Club by Mrs. L, w. Mehrtens with the
Music Club orchestra under the con-
ductorship of Mr. A. C. Meyer.
Nine. Lillian Blauvelt has arrived in
New York from England where she

Club, but may not be well enough to

Burt HlVOrd in Tucson
viii Now Answer to Uncle Sam

Burt Alvord, the noted desperate and
erstwhile train robber, is now United
States prisoner In the Pima county Jail.
Deputy United States Marshal Charley
Utting arrived from Tombstone this
morning an the Burro and had Alvord
in his custody. The one time terror of
the southwest was not really under
guard. He promised on his voluntary
surrender at Naco several months ago,
to face all charges against him on the
criminal dockets in this section and he
is keeping his promsie to the letter. Al
word is looking much better than when
he visited Tucson after his sensational
and unexpected surrender during the
summer When he stepped off the Bur-
ro this morning he presented neat ap-
pearance aud carried small telescope.
He spoke brightly to friends about the
depot and did not seem in the least con-
cerned about further trials. Deputy
Uttipg and his prisoner repaired to the
jail at once.
The public in both Tombstone and
this section do not seem to regard AL.
worlds atquittal with disfavor, There
was a rumor rife on the streets today
| which, if true, sheds some light on the
law. 1t is said that Burton Mossman
as captain of the Rangers was anxious
to effect the capture of that notoriously
bad man, Agastin Chacon, who paid the
death penalty at Solomonville but a
week or so ago. Chacon's depredations
on the border made him terror to that
section. There was just one man who
would be able to effect his capture and
that man was Bart Alvord. Captain
Mossman is said to have made an ar.
raneement with Governor Murphy
whereby Alyord would be granted i'm
munity providing that he made the
capture of Chacon possible. This was a
perfectly proper arrangement which, in
fact could be compared to states evil
dence procedure. Alvord through the
agency of Billy Stiles was informed of
the plan and agreed to carry out the
desperate undertaking because he was
tired of his exile. -
Every one is familer with the clever
capture OF Chacon near Sneed's ranch
on the San Pedro. 1t was a perilous
undertaking such as only man of AL
vod's infinite nerve could accomplish.
He is the one who made it possible for
Stiles and Mossman to take the king of
Arizona Da0 men, RE VIII De TomeIn"
bered that about week or two after
Chocon's capturs, Alvord rode into
Naco and surrendered to Sheriff Lewis
of Cochise. The facts about the cap
ture of Chacon, with Alvord's surrender
on its heels Far the latters recent ac-
quittal at Tombstone would seem to
corroborate the above arrangement.
Burt Alvord will be held here to an
swer for interfering with the United
States mails. He will be tried at the
next session of the United States court.
