DENVER DEMANDS
 RELIEF FROM THUGS
Resolutions For the Protection of the
 City Adopted.

Denver. Jan. 5.-This city will pre- sent a decidedly martial aspect if the plans adopted at a mass meeting of citizens this afternoon are carried out. and the temper of the meeting would indicate that they will be. Because of the many crimes committed here within the past year or two, which haV1 brought terror to Denver's residents, the latter have organized a committee of safety for the purpose of protecting the people against criminals. The streets will be patrolled during the night by armed citizens who will be the criminal class. Everybody on the streets at night will be expected to give an account of themselves when called upon and failing to satisfy q challenge as to the sufficiency of ;Heir reasons for being abroad, they witt be placed in the custody of the police The police magistrates will be urged to make the punishment for crime so heavy as to deter even the most Gcs- perate.
 For months past thugs and thieves have overrun this city. Women have been criminally assaulted in their own houses and on the streets: holdups and robberies have been of almost daily oc- cUrrence and even murders have been committed at times when the occasion from the standpoint of the vicious de- manded it. The murder of 14-year-old Harold F'ridborn and the assault of his sister on New Years night have aroused the people to fury that augurs poorly for the thugs who fall into their hands in the future. A res olution was also adopted at the meet ing calling on the city council to pro- vide 100 additional policemen.

MANSFIELDS WON
A Difference Between Handling Hose
 and Baseball

The baseball game at Phoenix park yesterday afternoon between the fire department team and the Mansfields resulted in a victory for the latter club. the score being nine to eight. The Bremen went to bat first, and with this showing it was unnecessary for the Mansfields to take their last in ming.
 The diamond has been somewhat differently arranged from what it has been heretofore with respect to the park grounds, and the covered grand stand has been moved out to the vii clnity of where first base formerly was.
 Tine srandstand was well filled, though the attendance was hardly up to expectations. The game was good one. in fact. the score speaks for that part of it. and the Kids added new laurels to their already glittering crown. The ground Was rather soft. owing to the fact that 1t is newly laid out and was but recently submitted to the churning up of a cowboy tour nanent. However, the players did well on both sides and furnished good en- tertainment. in the early part of the game the Bremen seemed to have il all their own way. and it looked like they had easy thing. but after the youngsters. got warmed up to their work they recovered and went after the bluecoats proper.
 Red Phillips was present and um- pired the game. greatly to the satis- faction of everybody. though he was really to sick d man to work. It was the first game played in Phoenix for some time. and the fans, of course. enjoyed it as d treat. The Kids hay i,,r of any local organization now at work. 1t is up to them to see that Phoenix is provided with more sport of the same sort.

ARIZONA APPLES
Product of Fine Orchard on the Up
 per Gila.

Apples are not usually considered to be an Arizona fruit. but there are sec tions of the territory that undoubtedly equal any region in the world for rais- ing apples. In the Salt River valley apples are grown more for curiosity than profit, but the success made by some horticulturists with certain Va rieties. indicates that when the right methods are employed apples may be produced even here in commercial quantities. and at least for home con sumption.
 On the upper Gila there are quite number of orchards. and samples brought to Phoenix from the Layton orchards at Thatcher. two or three

NEW STORIES IN LAW.
One Lawyers Exorbitant Fee-How
Much the Testator Left.

One lawyers Exorbitant Fee-How
Much the Testator Left.
A lawyer Of some distinction, who be
gan practice In small New England
town, says his first client required a
deed covering certain parcels of land
sold to neighbor. The deed was drawn
In due form, and after Its execution the
client demanded his bill. 1t was 81.
This amount was objected to as a most
exorbitant sum for the service rem
dered
Il told him." says the lawyer, that
to enable me to draw the deed studied
two years in the Lancaster Academy,
and this cost me $780, then went four
years in Dartmouth College, which cost
me $3.50 year more, and then | went
to the Harvard Law School for another
year at cost of $500.
$50 you see, Mr.. Hines, that to get
the necessary education to do this work
had to pay out $1,70O, and yet you
think my charge of 81 Is a large one.'
"The man looked at me for moment
in amazement, and then exclaimed:
w nat u loOl you Luuol
have been before they begun on your !"
From the same source comes the
story Of lawyer who was said in his
day to have drawn more wills than any
one else in his county. Upon the death
of respected citizen there was much
speculation as to the value of his prop
erty. The village gossip undertook to
| find out the facts. Calling upon Mr..
Heywood-the lawyer referred to-he
| remarked:
"Well, suppose you made Mr..
Blanks will?"
"Yes," was the answer.
"Well, them" continued the gossip,
according to the New York Times, 'you
probably know about how much he left.
| Would you mind telling mer
"Oh, no." said Mr.. Haywood, in his
slow way. ''He left every cent he had"

Winter turned to so down. he came
forward and tried to detain her.

ing hand, Il want TO explain"
But Miss Winter did not halt for an
instant. She went on down the stairs
and kept on her conversation with Miss
Reynolds.
Explanations of any kind are worse
than useless" she was saying to the
girl. Il always think one had better
see for himself and make his own de-
cisions accordingly. And there is so
much about house-and about other
things-that 1t is simply impossible to
explain"
The lease was drawn up and signed
and Miss Reynolds said, as the couple
left the office: Were much obliged to
you, Miss Winter, I'm sure, and you
must send your bill to Mr.. Edwards"
The bill was promptly made out but
1t was sent to Miss Reynolds instead OF
to Tom Edwards. The bill was receipt.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
Noxa1es Is a Place Where One Must
Be Circumspect.

Noxales Is a Place Where One MusS
Be Circumspect.
Some peculiar conditions prevail at
the cities of Nogales, Mexico, and
Nogales, Ariz.," said the traveller who
recently returned from visit to Mexico
'"The international boundary line is
formed by street that divides the two
towns, and the boundary stones are
set out with very nice regard for
technicalities. There is saloon there
which has more than a local reputation,
and the proprietor is certainly an en-
terprising individual. His saloon Is To-
Gated on the street that divides the two
countries, and at a point where the d.
viding line Is not clearly defined. The
patron Of this saloon buys his drink in
America, and, stepping across the hail.
he buys his cigar In Mexico. In this
way the proprietor avoids the duty on
Imported cigars, and can provide his
customers with the best make at lower
prices than most of his competitors.
"They tell an amusing story about an
American who imbibed too much fight
ing whiskey at this saloon. When he
arrived at certain stage he allowed
his prejudices to get the better of him,
and, standing near the boundary line of
his own country, he heaped anathemas
and hurled defiances at the people ac-
ross the border. A couple Of Mexican
officers stood across the street, almost
within reach of the pugnacious Ameri-
can hoping that he would stroll across
into Mexico. He did get over there
after while, although the trip was
wholly unprecedented. During ha-
rangue against Mexican institutions in
general and the police in particular he
happened to lurch too far over to star
board and fell into Mexico. The alert
rops promptly grabbed him. and.
though he didn't get chance to take in
the sights, he paid quite an extended
visit to the country he had 80 eloquent
" maligned."

Mr.. Edwards would like this very
much
'Tom--Mr Edwards" repeated the
real estate dealer In startled way.
II mean the man I'm to marry next
month"; laughed the girl.
20, yes; of course" said the real es-
tate dealer. How stupid Of me not to
understand"
Then she reflected that the name was
not an uncommon one. And what did
1t mean to her, after all?
They inspected dozen houses In
nearly as many suburbs, but always
came back to the first one they had
visited as In every way the most suit
able.
''I'll bring Mr.. Edwards to your Of
flee tomorrow" said Miss Reynolds,
when they parted in the city, ''if you
will be kind enough to go out with us
and take another look at the house. |
am sure 1t Is just what we want, and
that We'll take 1t for couple Of years.
When Thomas j. Edwards called on
his bride-to-be that night she was in
great spirits.
'Tom," she said, 1--WE found the
thing we want. l went to answer one
of those ads. In the Sunday paper, and

when got into the real estate Office.
I've made another date with the agent
for tomorrow morning and you're to &c
with me to look at the house we've Sc
lected. shan't tell you anything more
about 1t. l want to see If you aren't
just as much surprised as was"
Next morning at the hour appointed
Mr.. Edwards and Miss Reynolds took
the elevator to the seventh floor of the
skyscraper ON which was located the
real estate office of E. Winter. Miss
Reynolds had not even told Tom the
name Of the agent. She wanted 1t to be
a complete surprise to him. But as they
approached the door she did call his
attention to the sign above 1t.
Tom stopped as IL he had grown sud
denly faint. "E. Winter" he thought;
''but then this was, of course. a man.
One Of those amusing condolences we
hear of SO frequently" So he halted
but moment.
Yes, my dear" he said, 81 see the
sign but what of itT'
Just remember 1t, that's all. Now
we'll go in.'
Miss Reynolds threw open the door
and stepped into the office. e. Winter,
who was seated at her desk, turned as
Mr.. Edwards entered, and faced them.
Miss Winter" said the smiling girl,
"this is Mr.. Edwards. Tom, this is the
real estate agent l told you Of"
Toms face was white and he leaned
back against the open door as II to re-
cover from a blow. Miss Reynolds

His Memorable Exchange of Courte-
sizes with a'"Johnny Reb."
When it was afternoon, and the sun
followed Grandfather to the porch,
and you were tired Of playing House,
or Hop-Toad, or Indian, or the Three
Bears, it was only step from Grand
fathers foot to Grandfather's lap.
When you sat back and curled your
legs, your head lay in the hollow Of
Grandfather's shoulder, in the shadow
of his white beard. Then Grandfather
would say:
"Once upon time there was
bear ="
Or, better still:
"Once, when was little boy ="
Or, best of all:
"Wnen Grandfather went to the
war y"
That was the story where Grand
father lay all day in the tall grass
watching for Johnny Reb, and Johnny
Reb was watching for Grandfather.
When 1t came to the exciting part, you
sat straight up to see Grandfather

But Johnny Reb saw the top Of
Grandfather's blue cap just peeplng
over the tops of the tall grass, and SO
he, too, went 'BangP
And ever afterward Grandfather
walked with cane.
"Did Johnny Reb have to walk with
cane, too, Grandfather?
Johnny Reb, he Just lay in the tall
grass, all doubled up. and says he,
Gimme ehaw O. terbaecer afore

"Did you give 1t to him. Grand

He died fore could get the plug

Then Mother would say:

Then Grandfather would smoke
grlmly, and would not tell you any
more, and you would play Grandfather
and Johnny Reb in the tall grass. Liz

tobacco, and, when Johnny Reb died
too soon, you ate it yourself, to save it.
