BASEBALL SUITS ARE hEHf

If the Bisbee baseball team Is able to get a game for next Sunday at Dor Luis. it will be out fn new suits Twelve complete uniforms, with caps and shoes. arrived in the city yester dday and were unpscA1ea. The color of the suits is brown.
 Yesterday skinny Johnson te,e- phoned to Csspanea, asking if it would be possible to get a game with the team there next Snn2ay at Don Lius. He was promised that if the Csnanea team can possibly arrange to come they will be on hand.
 Johnson also asked for one or more games during the big celebration that will open at Cananea on May 9th. He was profniS6 at least one game and may be mQe. h will depend on the number of other attractions that are secured.
 Johnson stated yesterday that if . game is secured for next Sunday. it will prove that Bisbee has a much bet, ter team than some of the outside towns now figure. Said he:
 Tucson seems to think that they vlllahave an easy mark in Bisbee this season. The papers there are telling
Bisbee daily review., 1903-04-24

how they will do things to the team from the copper camp.
 Tell them to take a tip from me and bring along the best team the old pueblo has ever gathered up in the baseball history of the town. We are going to have a team this year that will do as well, if not better, than last season"
 Farrow. the clever pitcher who has come from California to twirl for the local team, was out yesterday with Flood, who has worked behind the bat with him in a number of California games. It was only warming up prac- tice, and Farrow did not extend him self. One thing he did show, and that is worlds speed.
 Emerson did some fine pitching and showed up well for one who has not been out for several months. Others out were Godfrey. O'Neill and Wilson They threw to one another just for practice.
 The first lineup of the local team will be watched with great deal of interest It will give the fans a chance to decide whether or not they are go- ing to make good this season.

BECOMES SLAYER
 NOT CONVICTED
JURY 1H Ms15RosE 1casE pIsA
 CREE sNLos ANGELES COURT
tHroone was,.t One Time Owner of a

EFroome Nns,st One Time Owner of a Tr<r1ster-Eompsny in This City Speculation as to How Jury Stood
 Sevetsl menths ago Broome, whc was wail known here abont three years tago as the manager of Broome's trans fer. whs shot and instantly killed by ! man named Melrose. Tie killing took place near Los Angeles. and Melrose's trial attracted great deal of atten. tion-
 Laa Monday the jury in the case failed to agree whether or not Melrose was guilty Of killing Broome without provocation. The effort made to con- ic1 hirn was somewhat unusual, oxing to thetfact that the deceased was well known
 There is considerable difference of opIninn as to how the jury stood
 Earl Rogers. Melrose's principal counsel, claims that they took eleven ballots and sgtood eight for conviction and four for acquittzl No vote was
 
 anything more than informal talk of simple assault
 District Attorney McConaas, on the other hand. claims that the jury stood eight for murder in fhe first degree and four, not for acquittai. but against murder in the :frst degree.
 AcComas claims that seven were in favor of conviction for manslaughter and five against that verdict
 In regard to the different features of the case one of the attorneys in the case states that the jurors all agreed that Broome was running for his gun when the fight started. They are said to have disbeIieved fhe part of Melrose's story in which he said he nret tse first shot merely to "dis- courage" Broome The testimony Of the old lady. Mrs Plato, who said she saw the shooting from her porch. is admitted to have had great weight with the jury.
 Two of the jurors are known, how cver, ;o have stuck cuit for murder in the first degree so stubbornIy that they would hardly discuss the case at all.
 Attorney Rogers claims the disa- greement as 8 victory. however, and says they can never convict Melrose now.
 -Melrose must have been fearfuliy disappointed. for he has been confident 1 of going free from the first. What ] ever he felt, however, be did not show. ! After the jury had been discharged | and had gone home, Melrose remained | in his seat at the table. while Judge Smith disposed of the long string of soddens criminals Finally be went away to jail with a deputy sheriff.
 During Monday morning, Attorney Rogers again secured Melrose's re lease On bail J. A. Muir and H. II. Metcah going as sureties for s100e0.
 Melrose cannot be tried again be fore snrnmer, owing to the crowded condition of the court calendar in Los Angeles county.

ARE NOT ABLE TO
 HANDLE FREIGHT
EL PASo AND SOUTHWESTERN REFUSES CATTLE SHIPMENTS

-bfEtts or lch9tFeS SduSeS ConSeStton-- More Motive Power IS Expected in Short Time to Arrive at Fl Pass The Bisbee road has more freight than it can handle The business of the road is so great that it has act. ually had to refuse to ship freight. During the last week a shipment of 10000 cattle at Fl Paso had to be sent over another road, because the Fl Paso and Southwestern had not the ia cilities to handle them.
 This will be remedied as soon as possible, and the officials are doing their utmost to remedy the situation. They have sert George A. Hardiker ca a search for a number of engines, which were ordered a number of weeks ago. but which have not yet ar rived.
 When these come. the business of the road will be less -congested than it is now. The copper camps are keep ing the roads freight business. SO ex- tensive that it positively cannot be handled.
 The Fl Paso yards are literally chok. ed with freight that cannot be moved because of lack of engines.
 The delayed engines are expected to arrive in short time.

THE DEADLY GRADE CROSSING.
Mr. W. E. Osteen, of Camden,
Fatally injured While Crossing
the Railroad on his Way to
his Farm.

Camden, Dec. 14.-This morning
Mr.. W. E. Osteen was on his way out
to his farm, several miles east of Cam
den, and when he got to the crossing
over the Southern Road, near the
station, he was caught by the south
bound train. His horse seemed to stop
right on the track. and although the
engineer made every effort to stop the
train he was too near Mr.. Osteen to
stop in time to save hira. The horse
was killed and the buggy was literally
torn to pieces, and why its occupant
was not killed instantly is mystery.
Mr.. Osteen, who is about 20 years of
age, and little hard Of hearing, was
hurled violently out of his buggy and
sustained fatal injuries. He was
picked up and brought to the station,
and subsequently removed to his home
on Broad street, where he received
medical attention, but died tonight of
his injuries. He was q highly respected
citizen, unassuming in his manners
and strictly honest. He leaves wife
and several grown children.

GOV. HEYWARD and
CROSS Of g0NOR.
He Has Very Properly Declined
to Accept the Honor Which the
Chester Camp Proposed Con-
ferring Without Right to
do so.

Gov. Hayward has promptly and
finally put an end to the controversy
that the action of the Chester Camp,
Confederate Veterans, in conferring
upon him the Cross of Honor had
started. He has firmly but politely
declined the profered honor and the
position he takes cannot be success
fully assailed by either party to the
controversy.
The following letter addressed to the
comman6ant of the Chester Camp was
made public on Monday:
Columbia, S. c., December 10, 1903.
Col. J. ". Reid, Chester, S. G.
My Dear Colonel:- The receipt of
your letter, 7th inst, was a most
pleasant reminder of my recent
pleasant visit to your town. Its con-
tents add to my appreciation of the
honor you conferred upon me while
on this trip, and, while this apprecia-
tion is most sincere, I shall have to
ask yon to understand that / do not
see my way clear to properly make
such request. / feel that only those
soldiers of the Confederate army who
wore the grey, like yourself. are en-
titled to the badge of honor. With
this strong conviction, you will see
that ] cannot consistently ask for the
honor, which belongs entirely to the
heroes of the Lost Cause.
Please consider this final disposi-
tion of this matter, and be sure to
know that this decision does not in
the most remote manner detract from
my sincere appreciation Of the honor
which has been conferred. Further
discussion of it would not, in my
judgment, be wise; and 1 beg that if
you have any thing further to say,
please wait, until we can have a
personal interview, at which time, l
am sure, I can make myself fully un-
derstood.
I often think of the pleasant day /
spent in Chester, and of all your kind
ness to me on that occasion.
Trusting you are quite we'll, belie,e
me with regards.
Yours sincerely,
D. G. Heyward,
Governor.

While Il is not an innovation for the
merchants to close their stores two
days when Christmas falls on Friday,
II having been custom to do SO in
Sumter for many years, there was
greater reluctance this year on the
part OF number of the larger estab-
gishnents to close two days than even
before. They candidly stated their
objections to closing. the chief of
which was the failure IN former years
OF many who signed the agreement to
Eve up to it in spirit and letter. It is
a fact too we'll known to be disputed
that few merchants have violated
their agreement more or less openly
and have sold goods to all conlers,
front and back doors being kept on the
batch the greater part of the holidays,
instead of being closed as agreed. An
sgreement is an agreement and every
man who signed the pledge to close two
days should keep his doors locked and
not hang round and invite, by his
presence, requests from customers to
sell goods. If the agreement is violat-
ed this year as it has been in fo,mer
wears it will be impossible in future to
induce those who keep the agreement
TO sign another pledge to clo:e two
days for Christmas.
