WOULD AbDUCT CHILDREN
 fORC|bLy
Frantic Tombstone Mother Fights Fefociously for
 Her Offspring.

The sight of a mother. frantic with | fear and distress in the thought that she might be deprived of her offspring, struggling heroically against her hus- band for its possession, was the dra- matic climax that was presented to the last of the Tombstone visitors yester- day as the evening train was about to leave the county seat. The husband. in the face of a shower of blows from his wife. fought with equal determi- nation 10 gain possession of the young sters.
 The couple were a Mir. and Mrs. simmons. both residents of Tomb stone. Their three little children. ap- proximately one and a half, four and five years old, were the points of con- tention between the Simmons.
 Owing to their inability to live to- gether amicably. the Simmons had agreed on a separation and as a basis
 
 possession of one or both of the boys. the mother to retain the guardianship of the youngest child. a girl of about eighteen months. Whether Mrs. Sim mons found her bargain too difficult to live up to, or whether her husband made an attempt contrary to their understanding. is not clear. But at the depot in Tombstone Simmons was seen to stow away the boys beneath a seat in the coach of the train just as the mother appeared on the depot platform. Her loud entreaties to the passengers to aid her recover her children soon attracted the attention of all. Just then her husband at tempted to tear from her side one of the little fellows who begged to be | left with his mother.
 Despite the opposition presented Simmons tore the boy from his moth- CTS side and was about placing him on the rear platform Of the now mov- | ing train when the mother instinct be- came too predominant for control. She assailed her husband and beat him relentlessly with one hand while | she cIung to her infant with the other. | Her actions awoke the sympathy of the passengers and bystanders who began to shout their disapproval of the mans attempts. Cries of Knock him down." Tar and feather him, '' aTE Throw him in jail" brought spe- cial deputy A. w Howe to the scene. With the assistance of two or three ] bystanders Simmons was bundled off, 1 much to the relief of the hysterical mother.
 | Yesterdays episode is said to be the continuation of family feud that has prevailed for some time in the Simmons household. While some Tombstone residents voiced disapprov- al of Simmons method of gaining his children. others aver that he is justi- fled in desiring their possession.

 ABUSIVE PATRONS
Drunken Men Start Disturb ance in Brewery Cafe
 With Poor Results.

Last evening about g o'clock cou- lie of men who had been drinking heavily. went into the Edeweiss Cafe to eat dinner. After eating they be- came abusive to the waiter, and then approaching the cashier threw down the check for the meal, saying that they did not think it was at all nec- essary to pay for it. The young man assured him that people who ate there were in the habit of paying for what they got. and that he could not see any good reason for making an excep- tion in their favor They then be- came very abusive, and when the cash fer told them to desist. or he would call the proprietor, one of the inebri- ates picked up a dinner knife from one of the tables, and began getting careless with it. The cashier dodg- ed him, and going to the rear of the cafe called for the proprietor, Geisen- hofer, who was on the upper floor. Geisenhofer lost no time in getting to the scene of the disturbance, and was attacked by the two men, and a third
 party who thought his friends needed
 help. This was true before long, for Geiseahofer secured a stout club, and
 was using 1t with terrible effect on the head of one of his assailants. The other two were trying to hit him, but always met with a stinging rebuke from the club. Marshal Snodgrass appeared on the scene, and after he had arrested one of the fighters the others ran. The Marshal fired shot in the afr, but it had no effect. One of the fugitives was finally captured near the railroad depot. Geisenhofer was uninjured.

bOY HAS MARROW ESCAPE FROM
 DEATH
Horse Gets Frightened on Hill, Throwing Boy From Seat
 of the Wagon.

Great good luck was with Roscoe Steele, a driver for the Bisbee ln- provement Company yesterday after noon, or it is very probable that the young man would now. be dead or at least crippled for life. Steele, who is eighteen years of age, had driven up on School Hill and was about ao turn of on to Clawson avenue. when the accident happened. In order to make the turn he had to back his horse for a short distance. and as the hill is very steep at that point. the wagon started down hill backwards. The horses became frightened and sudden ly lurched forward, throwing Steele from the seat, and to the ground under the horses heels. The horse stepped
 running as soon as he felt the weight of the boy against his hind legs, and proceeded to kick viciousiy. There was only one thing on earth that saved
 the young fellow. and that was inc fact that he was lying close against the horses legs, preventing the animal
 f:om putting any great force into ,lie i kicks.
 Several bystanda;s immediately
 rushed to the young fellows assistance ! and dragged him frt.an beneatl ;ae
 horse. His head was bleeding and he
 was suffering from pains in his lower | limbs. Dr. Edmundsol was called from the c. & A. dispensary, and toge
 ther with Dr. Baum. proceeded to
 the scene of the accii.aI. The youna
 man was immediatesy placed n inc
 doctors buggy ani taken to the dis pensaTy where Drs. Edmundson and Caven made an examination. It was found that the boys legs were hadly 1 bruised, and 10 the su.prise of every 1 one, not a bone was injured In any lway. There was also slight scalI 1 wound. After having his head band aged the young man was able to wall
 home, although with great deal ( | difficulty. Great surprise was ex
 pressed by the witness of the accident
 when it was found that the boy wal
 not even seriously injured
