UNIQUE CHARGE.
Negro Arrested for Preventing Another ? from Voting.


 % from Voting.
 New York, Dec. 24.-A charge, the like of which has never been enter tained in a United States Court in this district within the memory of the old est court official, was preferred today against Henry Jones, a Louisville, Ky. negro, when he was arraigned before United States Commissioner Shields. The, charge against Jones was inter- fering with the rights of citizen in that he beat John Supper an other negro, SO severely that he was unable to vote at the last Presidential election at Louisville.
 Secret service officers had been searching for Jones for some time and finally located him in this city. When arraigned before the Commissioner to- day he waived examination and extra dition formalities and will be taken back to Louisville at once by the Fed eral authorities for trial. The com plaint against Jones was sworn out by Chief Flynn of the United States se- cret service,

take the fort and that they must suc- ceed.
 Four field guns and three machine guns were captured and over soo Hus- sians were killed.
 The skillful manner in which the second assault was executed prevented
 heavy losses and ensued the capture
 of the fort. which though not the larg- est is one of the strongest of the eastern fortified ridges. The fort Is
 important to the Japanese as it opens a way up the gorge between it and th= stern part of the Kekwan mountain and the easiest point at which to pierce the principal line of Notifications for the purpose of gaining a foothold on the higher hills of the ridge. The stubborn resistance made by tho Russians was due to the fact that the capture of the fort was the key of the position at this point of their western flank,

The Douglas team will hereafter practice on the vacant ground east of the International-Americ office twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, in preparing for the coming game with Bisbee. The recent exciting game with Bisbee at Overlook park whetted the appetite of the boys for the diamond. and they are practic- ing hard and faithfully so as to be able to win the return game with Bisbee.
 Particular attention is being paid to the work of the infield. where weak. ness was shown in the Bisbee game Practice in batting also would be very helpful if it could be had.
 At Ovelock park next Sunday after noon. at 2:30 o'clock, there will. be g game between the Douglas team and the Scott & Thornton team. A good game is anticipated.

Douglas Democrats
 Ratify National Ticket
LARGEST POLITICAL MEETING IN HISTORY oF SHELTER
 CITY.
"Niek" Takes Advantage of an Open ing and Boons Joe Larrieu for Sher. fff-spell-eindins of a High Order Captivates Audience.
Especial to Review )

Douglas, Aug. 16.-The ratification meeting held last night in the hall ad- joining the post office was the largest political meeting ever held in Douglas. Before the meeting time had arrived the Douglas brass band played some excellent music on the streets, which gathered the hosts of Democrats in this city to hear the principles of their party exDounded and to listen to the eulogies of our national candidates. Tn this connection it is proper to men tion the citizens of Douglas were pleas ed and surprised at the splendid pro gress of the local band; the playing was most excellent when it is consid- cred that the band is yet a very new organization.
 The ratification meeting had been called by the Douglas Democratic Club, and was called to order by MT. Sparks, president of the club. who an- nounced its purpose and the names of the speakers who had been invited to address the Democrats of Douglas.
 c. F. Nichols was the first speaker. He evidently forgot the purpose Of the meeting w,-:ch was for the purpose of WuO 1ldu dAltduE been nominated for office. rather than to advance the interests of candidates who had rot yet received the nomina- tion. He devoted his few remarks to pleading for the support of Douglas for Joe Larrieu for the office of sher- if of Cochise county.
 C. A. Taylor was the next speaker introduced and he delivered vigor- ous and eloquent address of five min utes in which he portrayed the splen- did character of the presidential candi- date as shown by his address to the committee which had notified him of his nomination. MT. Taylor's remarks were received with applause
 Other speakers who spoke briefly were H. C. Buemler. J F. Ross, and Geo. MeeSs. After these the orator of the evening, Sam Yarnell.
 Mir. Yarnell spoke at length and gave a brief history of Judge Parker. the presidential candidate, showing hi; wonderful success in life. and that he started out as a farmers boy. MT 'Yarnell declared that every man who was opposed to the iniquitous trusts and friend of the producers and la borers of the country should give the fullest support to the Democratic can didate for president. He appealed to those belonging to organized labor tc support Judge Parker. and cited nun erous decisions rendered by Parker tC prove that he was the friend of the common people and recognized th' right of labor to organize for the pur pose of protecting and benefiting them selves. MT. Yarnell paid his respect! to the Republican party concerZrE thu position il has taken towards the ap peal of Arizona for statehood
 Mir. Ross. in his address. read iron one of tha leading Republican paper of Arizona an article which made tn bold plea to the Republicans of Arizo na to stand with the national admins tration or the question of statehood which is now supporting the doubl statehood bill.
