The young Italian bartender in the
saloon on First avenue north OF the
Rico cafe. was arrested this afternoon
charged with making a gun play on q
young fellow from Santa Fe road
gang The trouble started in the sa-
loon. and when the fellow from the
read gang had left the building the
bartender followed him out. A volley
OF stones were sent after the young
fellow and not being satisfied the bar
tender went after a gun, which he had
ready for use. The timely appearance
OF Citizen reporter caused him to
conceal the gun. Gun plays on First
avenue are becoming too numerous
and the matter was reported to the po-
lice, who arrested both OF the men.
They will have hearing In the morn
ing.

and the sleeves. which are short, are
of the satin. with ruiile of lace under
full frill OF satin. The bodice is filed
In above the girdle with soft folds Of
white chiffon. Clusters OF tiny pink
rosebuds are caught In with the knots
OF black Velvet ribbon adorns the
front of the bodice.
The slashed seam effect has suffered
no loss OF favor by the changes of fash
ion. Indeed the idea Is dalntily carried
out In one OF the new shirts--novelties
In which are constantly appearing.
The waist is In pale blue nuns yelling
piped with plaid silk. The sleeves are
plain and full with a straight cuff. The
back fits closely and distinguishing
feature OF the design is the absence OF
yoke. The front shows the slashed,
or slotseam effect. with two narrow
plaits on either side running from
shoulder seam to belt.
There are two OF three shades
among the spring colorings--holly.
rock yellow, dove hlue-whatever tint
that may be-and a daring shade OF
cerise. They are quite pretty. but
with the exception of the second, need
the SOLDERING touch of black to make
them adapted to any but evening wear.

now use the right hand track in the

BEES lNFuRIArsn az BLACK.
Something In Color That Calls Forth
Their Hatred and Their stings.

Something In Color That Calls Forth
Their Hatred and Their stinss.
Bees are opposes 10 black as color.
Whether this is because they dislike
a symbol Of mourning. think black
typifies cloud, or consider II the EN-.
blem OF death, is not known. but the
fact remains that bees do not hesitate
to display their hatred for things
black upon the slightest provocation.
l. L. Richards. an apiarist OF Littleton,
Colorado, can testify to this with re-
greet.
Richards Is a chicken fancier as we'll
as bee expert. He has some of the
finest chickens In Colorado. and not
long ago made up ills mind to have
more. He bought some imported
chickens from Hong Kong. and paid a
fancy price for them. One great be-
ruffied cock cost him SIS, and was as
black as a piece OF COAL save for one
red mark on It's back. Richards proud.
ly took the big foreigner from It's box
and showed 1t to his friends with ex.
ultation. Then he set 1t free In ths
chicken yard. The beehives occupy a
corner Of this yard, and had never
caused any trouble. But with /: ad.
vent OF the black rooster, the living
emblems Of industry rebelled. Rich.
ards went back to see his new pet
half an hour later. and was amazed to
see the yard in a terrible commotion.
The great chicken which had stalked
50 proudly about his new home few
moments before. to the wonder OF the
old chickens. was now in pitiful dis.
tress. II rushed frantically about the
enclosure. squav ing strangely and
Tapping its wings in desperation.
Around II swarmed 1000 bees. Vic
iously they darted at the unfortunate
fowl.
The bewildered stranger from
across the seas dashed vainly about
for few minutes. to the alarm OF the
other chickens. II struck out with it's
wings and feet. Turn as 1t would, 1t
could not escape the Infatuated bees.
At last II fell. and the relentless
winged torturers settled upon It, sting
ing 1t TO death.

oueERgsT CITY EVER BUILT.
Town Founded by Julian Ericsson and
His Followers In New Mexico.

or all queer cities ever built the
queerest was undoubtedly that erected
near the headquarters OF the Rio
Pecos In this territory. by Julian Eric

Ericsson was an American OF Nor

money, together with q taste for &C.
cult mysticism. from his father. q
Swedenborgian carpenter and con-
tractor.
He early came under the influence
of Joseph Smith, the founder of Nor
monism, but quarreled with his leader.
and started to found an entirely new
sect of his own, the cardinal principle
OF which was the tsansmigration Of the
souls of the. faithful while yet on
earth. This 10 TO say. he promised
that his disciples shcnld. At m early
date. be changed into dover, eagles,
lions, or. In fact. into whatever beast
or bird they chose.
II seems scarcely credible that such
an absurd, not to say nauseous, doc
trine should have succeeded, even for
a time. In attracting converts; but
there would seem TO be no limit to h1-
man creduiity and gullabiiity In such
matters. Some hundreds OF enthus-
lasts threw In their lot with him. and
following the example of the Mormons
marched westward from the settled
states into the great western wilds.
They nnaiiy brvught up IN what is
now San Miguel county. and built q
town Of frame houses, at the back OF
each Of which was den or cage suit
able to the needs Of the particular
animal or bird they expected shortly
to become.

came to nothing. and In the end he
