 Take Important Step in That Direction VILE LANGUAGE ON STREET MUST STOP

While the city trustees, the school trustees and others are mapping out improvements in Bisbee, the police of fcers have decided that the time is opportune for them to inaugurate some reforms also.
 A start was made yesterday morn ing when a determined beginning was made at breaking up a habit that has for some time prevailed among a num- Der of young men. to the end that sev- eral times a week the down town streets are turned at early morning into a soething caldrOn of profanity.

One of the associations took the warning and it's members dispersed. The other per sisted in foul language, with the re- suit that its leader was arrested and locked up. He went to jail with bad grace, followed by pleading friends, some of whom became so persistent that they came near landing in a cell along with him. The young man ar rested wore the pin of prominent fra ternal order. He gave a fictitious name.
 At the hours at which the outbreaks have been most pronounced by the young men implicated in the objection able proceedings, there are not many people as a rule on the streets. There are, however, between 4 and , in the
