Chihuahua Mexicans.

Last night bunch of twenty-one Chihuahua Mexicans were unloaded at Douglas bound for Cos, in bond These fellows must have been from the interior of Chihuahua, for they were about the most picturesque Iot of hombres that ever struck Douglas Some of them had on white linen clothes, big hats and the whole out6i covered up with a big many colored blanket that would delight the eyes o1 an Apache Indian.
 Jack Flood and Mir. Dougherty, who brought the Mexfcans through, saw Sailor Brown arrested in Fl Paso, and said that Brown was at the bar in a saloon when the three officers came in and threw their six-shooters down on him, and told him to consider him self under arrest. Brown was shak ing dice when he was captured He did not like the looks of he gunc, and made no resistance

Why Did the Irish Win?

Mayer-Zobelin Beer people was bet. ting on the late tug of war, he Lad the farsightedness to present the Irish team with a case cf his famous Pilsmer beer, and he attributed the victory of the Irish team to the fact that they got out side of that partic ular case of beer. Roberts is Dutch but he is stuck on the Irish and there fore presented them with a case oi his favorite quintessence of victory Filsemer Beer.

Come Back to Erin, Etc.
Continued From Page Four. )


 The old opera house was crowGed to the doors, and seven special off cers were required to keep the eager crowd away from the cleats.
 It was a good natured crowd that jostled against the ropes and hurled jests and cat calls around the lobby while the voice of the pool seller could be heard above the din. On the stage a group of ladies were eager witnesses of all of the preliminaries, and as the contest progressed were more than once on their feet cheering for their favorites.
 All classes were represented. The merchant stood in line with the labor CT for three hours, and the banker el- bowed the knight of the green cloth. As soon as the pools were opened ad- mirers of the Slavs were around the office with their money, and for thir ty minutes the Irish boys were kept busy taking the bets. Very little money failed to get action, and it is Q conservative estimate that as much as 5000 changed hands on the re suit
 At 9:01 p. m. Referee Jack Taylor fired the starting gun, and quick as flash the Slavs had taken up the slack and had four or five inches to their credit.
 The Irish settled down in their cleats, and both sides spared for an opening At 9:20 the Slavs made the main effort, and as the powerful Casey reared back on the anchor end his shoe slipped on the cleat. and be- fore he could recover the willy Slavs had gathered in about ten more inches of the hemp, and during the next thirty minutes, or at the expiration of the first hour, the Slavs had twenty inches the best of it. with sixteen inches more to gain to win. Right here came the dead lock, and for the next half hour the indicator never wavered an inch. In vain did the Slav captain call on his men to take another cleat, but the terrific pace had begun to tell on the dusky end of the rope. and the knowing ones said it was only a question of time then until the Irish would win. After two hours had passed, it was evident that the endurance, grit and strength of the Irish would eventually win. At cleat they had lost at the outset and bedlam was turned loose. Slowly but surely those powerful backs, arms and legs were brought into action. and cleat by cleat the Slavs were dragged across the mark. Be it said to their credit that not once did the losing team show the white feather Sick at heart and sore in body they never gave a cleat without a show O! struggle, but the pace in the begin ming had been too fast.
 Around the Irish end of the rope as the contest drew to close it re- Quired several special officers to keep the crowd back as they rushed for ward, sure of victory, and eager to show appreciation for the sons of ! Erin, who had demonstrated their staying qualities in a contest neve. before equalled in the Territory.
 At exactly 11:54 the last cleat was gained, and the noise that broke loose was deafening. The ardent admir- CTS rushed forward and literally mob bed the winning team, who stepped down from the cleats apparently in the best of condition To bestow any particular praise upon the Irish team would be difficult Every man was there when needed, and did his best

Say, you people down at Douglas, over in Tombstone and surrounding villages will understand that the noise you heard about two a. Iii. Mon day was not an earthquake It was just the cheering after the Irish had cone the Slavs

ConrelI Still! at 1t.

SONHcil Stiii Zt tt
 Last night Chas. Connell, the Chin- csc Inspector, left for the Morenri- Clifton district to weed out the con- traband Chinks. He has good reason to believe that there are a number of these people in that district, who are without certificates. He has always been bothered in landing these mea because of their being notified of his coming in time for them to hide out He has good reason to believe that this notice is sent from Lordsburg to Clifton and Morenci. The contrabands take to the hills and hide in the tun- nels and it is impossible to locate them, as the local officers do not lend much aid to the inspector. MT. Con- nell has a plan for this trip which he believes will result in the arrest of several of the Chinamen.
