A Young man who described himself as
Samuel j. Fox, 20 years old, OF "a South
Tenth street, Williamsburg, was held with
out bail by Magistrate H~igginbotham in
the Lee avenue police court yesterday after
noon on a charge Of violating section 522
of the Penal Code by opening an account
with the Williamsburg Trust Company under
an assumed name. He was arrested in the
trust company's building when he presented
a pass book and said he desired to draw
on his account.
On October 80 Fox opened an account
with the company in the name OF Harry

that Fox was the person who had forged his

Magistrate ~Higginbotham he promptly ad-
mitted that he had opened an account
under a false name with the Williamsburg
Trust Company and after depositing two
checks had drawn on the account for $500.

He told me TO open an account with the
Williamsburg Trust Company under any
name excepting my own. l did 80 under
the name of Harrison and after i had
withdrawn $500 Louis handed me $500 and
he kept the rest. He told me TO have a
good time aud did. l went back TO get
more money this afternoon and wal ar

A charge Of opening an account under
a false name was made against Fox anu
he was committed until Monday, the
Magistrate refusing TO fix bail. Gumberg

Football Game
 For Christmas

Regarding the challenge by the Tombstone football team the Douglas Internationai-Americsn eays:
 "The Douglas high school footbal team will play the Tombstone c. M. A. eleven on Christmas day on the local gridiron. The challenge was re- ceived few days ago and was ac- cepted ss soon e the local team got together on the matter. The Tomb stone team is reputed to be one of the strongest in the territory and it is al- together probable that Douglas will not have the easy calling experienced in the Bisbes game, here On Thsnks- giving Day.
 Douglas threw down Bisbse for the Tombstone game. A challenge for . return gf me was received from Bisbee after their crushing defeat here, for Christmas, but the local boys did not want to spend the best of all hoiidsy' away from home, and consequently took on the Tombstone game. Doug. las high school team says they have received repeated challenges from the Copper Queen smelter cam, but claim that this team has never. yet been or gani.ed."

Tombstone Pythians were out in full force last evening. the occasion being "smoker," form of entertain ment that has won renown for that order. It is then that the doors are flung open and friends not vested with . knowledge of the mysteries of the order are served with refreshments, told royal good stories and entertained as only the knights are distinguished for bestowing hospitality. Many guests were present last evening. and while the Tombstone City Band rendered ex- quisite airs the knights busie them- selves in seeing to it that their visitors were properly cared for. A badger fight was the event of the evening. W. G. Gilmore, 2 veteran in this class of sport, acted xs master of ceremonies and had as his assistant in bringing of the contest Robert Reed. This was the first genuine badger fight that MT. Reed had ever witnessed, but he took hold and brought the affair to . conclusion with such . precision as to elicit much applause and occasion uproarous meriment.
