The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word dy~-
pgI>@ia means literally had cook. it will
not be fair for many to lay the blame on
the cook if they begin the Christmas
Dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress or nausea. 1t may not be
fair for any to do that-lct us hope 50
for the sake of the cook . The disease
dyspepsia indicates II bad stomach. THAT
is IL weak stomach. rather than Il bad
cook, and for Il weak stomach there il
nothing else equal to Hoods SnrsapNr-
lila. II gives the stomach vigor and tone
cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and
makes eating the pleasure it should be.

Mr. Editor A somewhat novel and
very pleasant entertainment took place
IN this neighborhood, (ncar Port Deposit

ladies of Smiths Grove Seminary, (Of

Il rural festival in horror of the return of

and a band of little boys with long t1i-

seeming amused and some of them a
little abashed by their public position.

She asked for her salary. as she wanted to go away at once. After, however, I found cut 1 had been duped, and that she would neither sign stock certificate, or a contract to deliver stock, or re- sign; claiming that she never had been secSetary or treasurer; notwith- standing the fact that she had previ- oIsly signed stock certificates, letters and receipts for cash, as secretary. l tEen made a formal demand upon her in writing fsr the return to the com pany's office. of the stenOgrapher'S note books covering the entire cores pondence. contracts. and the minutes of the meeting held at Miller's office as well as the correspondence of the Dickson-Ward syndicate and my own correspondence; these she has refused to return. claiming however, that she has returned them; as We have but two offices. one in Phoenix and our of fee here, am at loss to know where this office (to which she claimed she returned the boOks) is. unless, of course. it is Miller's.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-01-13

J. Dickson of the Dickson-Wsrd syn dicate is back from Phoenix. His presence in the city was made known at the Review office by a telephone command to retract an article that ap- peared in the Review Saturday morn ing which gave an account of the suit brought by his stenographer and type writer. Mrs Buck, for the sum of $40. no part of which has been paid. This demand was politely refused, even in the face of a possible vigorous pros ecution at the hands of the said Dick son-Ward syndicate, by it's main guy J. Dickson.
 From all accounts Mir. Dickson was a busy man yesterday. The auditor Of the Postal Telegraph company was the frst caller. It was small matter of SIP and some cents, but owing to 3 present tangle no checks were be ing issued on that date. The auditor told "Col. Sellers in disguise" that the Postal Telegraph company was a close corporation and was doing business on a cash basis, but in the face of a tenn pest he backed out of the room and left the president of the Dickson-Ward syndicate, monarch of all he survey ed, which was an office boy, table and a typewriter that is being used on trial
 The next caller was a representative of Moore and Wren, dealers in coal and wood, who retired in good order after the situation was explained to him. which was to the effect that there was a million dollars in sight but not ! 2 cent in the 6ra Wpr
 Now, it seems that Mr. Dickson is in more hot water. He claims in 9 long winded statement 10 the Review, that Attorney w. P. Miller has thrown him down; that Peters, the man who owned Lne mine. failed to give two thirds interest and finally that his true and faithful stenOSrapher had "copped out" the note book that con- tains al of his private and official business.
 In relation to the suit of Mrs. Buck for her salary We cull the following rom the Dickson typewriter state ment. which for a yoluminous dOcu- ment is equal to anything Weyler

 THROWING ROCKS
C. w. GREEN GIVEN TRIAL BE
 FORE JUSTICE BROWN
Was Charged With Throwing Rocks at Charles Peirano Near Com
 pany cspita,-Hard to Cater

pany HcspitaI-Hard to Catch
 Twelve men decided in Justice Browns court yesterday evening that c. w. Green was not guilty of assault ing Charles Peirano with rocks near the company hospital Q few days ago.
 The evidence against Green was strong. j. Jones wen, Cl the stand and swore that he saw tAe defendant throw two stones at the plaintiff and that ,he threatened to kill Peirano- Peirano stated that he had tried to get away from Green, but the latter followed him up, chasing him through the cab of an engine.
 Other testimony went to show that Green was riding on freight train, which is against the rules of the company. He was told by Peirano several times to get of, but refused. He finally responded by throwing rocks, one of which struck Peirano on the arm and hurt him slightly.
 The testimony Of the defense was to the effect that Green was acting in self-defense when he threw the stones at Peirano. The defendant did not o1- fer much to show that he was in the right He stated that he had been dis charged from the employ of the com pany on January 9th.
 Green gave the officers a merry chase He left this city and went 10 Douglas and from there into New Mexico. where he was arrested by off, cers On information sent out from the justice court at Douglas. He was wanted there for jumping a board bill.
 The defendant was brought to this city Sunday afternoon by Constable Casad. who went to Douglas for him. Just how he has fared at Douglas is not known here.
 About a week ago Green was arrest ed on a warrant sworn to by clerk in the Copper Queen store. It was alleged that he had obtained goods under false pretenses. The matter was patched up by his paying for the goods and the costs of the action.
 Those who made up the jury which tried Green yesterday evening were Scott Turner. s. w Dobson. 1. Kulz, Charles Locklin. O. P Hunt. Thomas Frazier. Charles Godfrey. C. Van Vleet w. B. Crawford, Joe Keefer, Cert Gmehle and R. NJ. Barnes.

GREAT LOCAL INTEREST
5isnee People Thought Maley and
 Ross Would Win

1 Probably no event aside from a na- tional election has excited keener in
 terest, among the residents of Bisbee
 than the drilling contests occurring in ! Fl Paso yesterday
 Saturday night, and much of Sun day. excited and eager groups crowded the principal resorts and vigorously discussed the merits Of the several contestants, the preponderance of opinion being of course that the local favOrites, Ross and Malley, while pos sibly not having a walkover, could by no means be figured at any place but
 taking first money
 However, some conservative per sons might advance the argument of accident, poor steel sharpeners. the physical condition and temperament of the men at the moment. their pro- tests were vigorously and vociferously drowned in the enthusiastic commen- dations of the friends of the local fav- orites.
 Where any disposition was shown to
 back the opinions of those taking the field against the two champions. rolls

 the vintage of los. POS, sos and 100's
 were quickly in evidence. until one
 would have thought the vaults Of our
 local banks had been entirely depict
 ed, and much money was placed in
 various safes, subject to the result
 which is described in the telegraphic
 columns of the Review.
 The fact that Ross and Malley were
 each from two of the greatest rock
 drilling teams of the world has ever
 known. were physically perfect men, skilled artisans and when they left Bisbee on Saturday for the seat of
 contest were in the very pink of con-
 dition. only caused the local contin- gent to feel all the more satisfied of
 the team taking. first prize. and them selves "a little easy money"
 Monday afternoon. when the first authentic news Of the result com menced arriving trough the Reviews specials direct from the grounds. and
 finally that the brides of Bisbee had surrendered their 'laurels to the ter rible Swedes" of Colorado. it was diff cult for the home admirers to realize wha. had really happened. that Bisbee and Arizona must now look to Colo rado as the winners of the contest. The Review reports were posted in
 the Free Coinage during the evening, and in all of the resorts where the
 people do coDgregate," the increasing crowds discussed the event intensely and earnestly.
 Of course the events at the contest today may wTest the prize from the winners of Monday. as there are strong teams entered in the contest of today. The most complete report will
 be in the Review of tomorrow.
