BIDDER WAS GUILTY
Cochise County Citizens Turn
 Down Actions of Ranger

Last Wednesday at Tombstone Ranger Kidder was convicted in the justice court on a charge of as- sault and battery committed on the person of a man named Pagan in Bisbee on the evening of July 9th. The jury was out only short time, when they brought in a yer dict of guilty as charged, and the justice imposed fine of $50.
 The court room of Justice Ward we'll was crowded when the case was called. Most of t,,e afternoon was consumed in en .oanelling a the jury, and at 5 o'clock the trial was under way. The prosecuting witness and others testified that the assault was unprovoked and the defense failed to contradict this testimony. The prosecution was ably conducted by Neil McNeil, a young attorney of Douglas, who has been assisting the district at torney's office during the present term of court. Judge Baker of Bis bee conducted the defense, and put up a determined opposition, but the evidence could not be overcome.
 The case against the ranger for assault upon Graham was dismissed on account of witnesses for the prosecution not being present. Kid der must answer another charge for assault upon Radebush. This case will come up before the grand jury. Attorney Baker gave notice of appeal from the judgment of the justice court to the district court.

John Leonard at Home.

After nearly years absence
spent in faraway British Colyss<
bia, where he was employed by a
western oil company, John Leon
ard, a brother of Mrs. John
Black, of the South Side, has re-
turned, and is at the home of his
father-in-law, John Woodburn,
who resides near Middlebourne.
Mr.. Leonard has had romantic
and novel experience, many OF
them, in fact, during his stay in
British Columbia. The Indians do
not give the prospectors much
trouble, but the wild animals
abound there, and are to be con-
sidered bad enemies. The wells
thus far are small, but the opera
tions are going on steadily, and
Mr.. Leonard contemplates taking
his family out there soon. He
was far removed from railroads
and even decent highways, and
when leaving had to walk forty
miles, because the roads were i'm
passable for conveyances and
horseback riding. Mr.. Leonard
relates numerous interesting ac-
counts of his travels, and also
gives a good description of oil OPP
erations in the far northwest
