Raising a Bought Iiouse.

This morning at about ? o'clock Charley Coles, who had been drink ing along the line in the Tenderloin district, entered the domicile of Cora Miles, and at once commenced to raise rough house. His first business was to break up all the glassware in sight, and then to smash the mirrors be- hind the bar. He then orove all ,e inmates of the house from the room and stationed himself on the front porch until an officer arrived and took him to the jail. This kind of pleasure is becoming altogether too frequent. and few stiff fines or little impris- onment. say for about 30 days, wnl soon put stop to it.

A Sympathetic Justice.

Last evening Deputy Sheriff John
 son brought Hugh Scott and George Hill before Justice Brown and charged them with soliciting aims upon the street, which, under the Arizona stat utes. constitutes the crime of vagran.
 cy. Scott was the first one 10 enter
 plea, which was guilty but he told Q very plausible story to the court, and 1t was evident that the justice believ. ed him, for he fined him s10, and gave
 him fifty eight hours in which to pay 1t. He then took 50 cents from his
 purse and handed it to Scott, telling him to go and try and secure work.
 When Hill was called before the court and plead guilty, the facial ex.
 pression of Judge Brown changed al l once, and he sentenced MT. Hill to pay
 fine of $50 ar be confined in jail TOT fifty days. He gave him one hour in
 which to pay the fine, and in all prob ability by this time Hill is Lifting the high places in order to leave Bisbee land the county jail far behind him.

STAG CLUB ENTERTAINS MEM BERS AND FRIENDS

The Stag Club gave their annual banquet Thursday evening to it's mem bers and a number of invited guests. The banquet was given in two sections, owing to the fact that the dining room was not large enough to seat all at one time, and this was admirably ar ranged by inviting a certain number to be present at o'clock sharp, and the others at o'clock. Thus it was that for two hours the guests invited first enjoyed their turkey, and filled the atmosphere with choice speeches and bon mots. that it were a pity could not have been caught in a photograph and preserved for future anniversa- ries of the club
 At o'clock, when the second relay of hungry members and guests arriv- ed, the tables were handsomely deco rated with fruits and flowers, the name of each guest was placed upon his plate, and when all were seated Toastmaste- Ball commanded that the feast begin. The banquet was an ele- gant affair When all had fully sat isfied the inner man. toasts and songs were indulged in until a late hour.
 The dining room was decorated with smilax, and on the walls in several places were the words. Welcome. Stag Club In the outer room bowl of punch was kept constantly on hand for the use of members and guests. Altogether it was most en- joyable affair

ANCIENT LEGEND APPLIED TO

Danger That Free Trade May Gain
Entrance to the Citadel of Protec-

(The ancient Greeks, being unable
to storm the city of Troy. won en-
trance through a stratagem- An i'm
mense wooden structure, known after
ward as the Trojan Horse, was hauled
by the Greek army to the plains OF
Troy, outside the city; then the army,
in seeming dismay at the impregna-
BILE walls, marched away and appar-
emily raised the siege. The Trojans,
attracted by the huge horse, as if it
were some new-found idol, moved it
into the city That night, as the
citizens slept, a hundred Greek chiefs
emerged from the spacious interior of
the horse, opened the gates for the
Greek army, and the city was de-
vastated.)
The walls of ancient Troy withstood
all open attacks of the enemy; the
walls of protection are now impreg-
nable against free trade assaults.
The wooden horse ruse that caused
Troy's downfall would have failed had
not the citizens, with an overweening
sense of security, been lured into adj
miration of the pleasingly devised
idol.

An interesting incident of the army
career of Gen Alexander D. McCook,
who died in June last, proving the
vigorous policy he pursued toward
rebels, was told in a circle of war vet
Grams a few days ago.
A Southerner, named "Buz" Rowe.
living in a small town of two hundred
or three hundred population in Hart
county, KY, about sixty miles south
of Louisville, where the industries
were the manufacture of flour, lum-
Der and tobacco, spent most of his
time while the Confederates were in
possession of that part of the state
lying around a tavern, drinking whis-
ky and blowing and clustering about
southern rights and insulting the
Union men in the town. When the
Union troops advanced and the rebels
fell back, just before McCooks victory
at Perryville, Rowe Odd not feel dis
posed to take up arms in behalf of
the cause he championed, but to Sc
cure his own peace and safety at
home, he expressed a desire to take
the OATH The Union men of the
county 1ectured him, and they also
acquainted Gen. McCook with his
rebel sympathies, and he found it diff
ficult to get a Union man to go with
him to appeal to Gen. McCook to take
the oath and secure pass to go about
unmoIested. Finally one of the resi-
dents did go with him, and after the
occasion for the visit had been ex-
planned, Gen. McCook turned to the
Union man with this response:
Administer the oath to him-a
ready traitor to his country and to his
own neighbors, as well? What regard
do you suppose he would have for the
solemn obligation of an oath? A man
who would betray his flag and his peO-
pie would have no respect for his
oath"
Rowe turned pale and tremb1ed for
fear that his end had come. Cen
MeCook absolutely refused to allow
the oath to be administered, or a pass
to be issued to Rowe, but, as he could
not get out of camp without some
sort of a document from Gen. Nc
Cook, he appealed to those whom he
had abused because of their loyalty
and begged their forgiveness and in
tercession in his behalf At last Gen
McCoOk assented and gave Rowe a
document which read thus:
ITO the Guards and Pickets: The
him, but in doing so mark him well
and if you see him prowling about our
lines shoot him at once
Rowe took the document, but was
careful not to violate its conditions
