CITY HOSPITAL
TO EQUAL ANY
IN THE LAND

The work OF building the proposed hos
pltal for contagious diseases will not be
commenced until next spring. as the
plans will not be completed before De
cember. and the committee believe that II
would be unwise 20 break ground then.
Yesterday the committee visited Wor-
cester and Inspected the hospital for son
tagious diseases, which consists OF three
wooden buildings. including one for ad-
ministration purposes, erected ten years
ago at cost of $4,000
The committee were fortunate In getting
many valuable ideas; but the proposed
hospital I'm this city will be OF brick and
will have many other points OF superiority
over that In Worcester.
The local hospital will consist OF four
Or Ave buildings and will compare favor
ably with any hospital I'm this country.
The Rhode Island hospital trustees are
stlll receiving persons affected with con-
tagious diseases at the hospital; and DR.
Charles V. Chaplin, superintendent OF
health. Is confident that they will con-
tinue TO do 80 In view OF the present cir
cumstances until the new institution is
erected

FLEETWOOD COMES
 ID LOCATE HERE Says All Northern Arizona is Visited by Unusually
 Heavy Rains

To make Bisbee his home, be asso- ciated with the business interests of the camp and assist il whatever way he can in its development, F. E. FL iinwood, former District Attorney for ney for the Phelps-Dodge interests, arrived in the city yesterday.
 EIlinwood is associated with Col onel William Herring, who Is gen eral counsel for the Phelps-Dodge in teresIs in Arizona. with offices in Tucson. To Eninwood will be turned over the legal interests of the com pany in this part of the Territory.
 With him Ellinwood brings the chairmanship of the Democratic Terri torial Committee. As it's head he managed the campaign of Mark A. Smith in November of 1901. mate rially assisting in his election as dele gate to Congress.
 Asked for anything new in the po- litical situation, Ellinwood stated yesterday that there have been no developments, nor does he expect any of startling nature. Speaking about Statehood, he said:
 Arizona owes Delegate Smith 9 debt of gratitude it will never pay Smith was elected on a Stareh NOd platform, and if he has not Kept h!s promises to the people of this Terri tory. I fail to see wherein it was. Ask any returning Arizonan who has been in Washington during the recent struggle there and he will tell you, whether Democrat or Republican, what Smith has done for his people E1linwood reports that never before since he first came to the Territory several years ago has he seen as much water in Northern Arizona as Fork to Prescott and on to Bisbee on this trip
 At Ash Fork" said he, "and all the way down the country, was under water. Every mountain canyon cnd gorge was running bank full, the level stretches being covered with water 1 as far as one could see When crossed the Salt and Gila rivers near Phoenix beth were running bank full. They held the train five hours at the Giia bridge, because It was said to be tottering and too dangerous to cross. Heavy rains have been fall ing for several days all over the aorth"
 Reports from Phoenix are that much damage has been done to canals as a result of raise of over twenty feet in the Salt River. Much expen- sive work that was being done by the farmers near the head of the Ari zona canal was washed away. Ellinwood has been succeeded as District Attorney of Yavapai county by R. P.

NORTON CONFESSES
 PART IN ROBBERY Bound Over And Says he Will Testify Against
 COmeSfOfd ..c

After Naiving examination at his taking part in the recent robbery of Winters saloon in Tombstone Can yon, and being bound over to await the action Of the grand jury in the sum Of s2.500, Lewis Norton at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the second time confessed his part in the robbery.
 In the presence of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Flanigan, Justice Mo DonaIu and Constable Doyle, he told the satne story of the hold-up, with The events that preceded and followed it ,as he had previously told to Of. fcer Wilmoth, whose clever work resulted in the capture of Norton and Comesford within a few hours after the bold robbery was committed.
 When Comesford appears Monday afternoon at ? o'clock for his prelim- mary hearing, it is understood that he will attempt to prove an alibi, by showing that at the time the robbery vas taking place he was down town drinking in the saloons.
 But Comesford will have to face the evidence of Norton, who yesterday promised the officers that he will tell the whole story at the hearing of Comesford. He proposes to tell every thing that happened, including the planning of the affair and the subse- quent disposition of the spells.
 In his confession to Attorney F1ani- gan yesterday, Norton said that he had been led into the affair by Comes ford. He was drunk at the time; had just had trouble with his wife, whom he believed to be making her abode in the tenderloin district, and was in a condition to accept any kind of a proposition.
 Norton now believes that he was made a dupe by the other two rob bers, who in dividing the booty gave him two gold watches, together with s10, half Of which was the torn s5 bill that led to the capture of both Norton and Comesford.
 Constable Jack White returned from Cananea yesterday, where he went Thursday in search of the third member of the hold-up trio. He re turned without his man. but still has hope Of landing him.

MURDERER AND
 VICTIM AT REST Pathetic Funerals With But One MOurler Took
 Place Yesterday

With but one mourner. a minister and choir present, the funerals of Ed Thomas, murdered at Lowell. and Thomas Capstick, a suicide. were held from the Palace Undertaking parlor yesterday afternoon at l o'clock and o'clock. respectively.
 Aged and tottering John Butte. the father-in-iaw, followed the body of Ed Thomas from the parlor to the Evergreen cemetery, returning to the parlor at o'clock. to follow the body f his son-in-law to it's final resting place in the same burying ground, 2
 Sad and simple was this funeral, with but one aged mourner. broken down under the strain of the tragic death of his son-in-law and a friend. His bitter weeping fell on the hearts of a stranger who could pity, but not sympathize.
 Rev. Harvey M. Shields preached .ho two funerals, his text dealing with the living rather than the dead. His sermon was touching, pathetic, but brief He followed both bodies to the grave, where the final words of prayer were spoken.
 The tragedy of these two men is the worst that has ever occurred in this district Jealousy was clearly proven ta be the cause.

PATTEN FACE ID
 FACE WITH DEATH Falls From Saddle, Foot Catches in Stirrup But
 he Regains Seat

His right foot hanging in the stir rup and his head dragging on the ground, while the horse was running it's fastest up Naco road yesterday passing a number of buggies and a funeral procession, John s. Patten, Nv ing in the Sulphur Springs valley, re- tained presence of mind and regained his saddle by climbing up the horses leg, grabbing the bride reins and stopping the horse just before 1t plunged over steep bank into pit of rocks.
 !, Patten and a companion were com ing to Bisbee yesterday. The friends hat blew of and Patten leaned out of the saddle to recover it. His left foot was out of the stirrup. when the horse gave a plunge. He fell and the horse started to run, dragging his head over the rocks in the road. His companion took after the horse to stop 1t, but this only scared the horse and accelerated it's speed. Pattea was finally able to get hold of the horses front leg and pull himself inte the saddle.
 This thrilling experience and mar row escape from death was witnessed by Rev. Harvey Nj. Shields and Mr. Smith, undertaken at the Palace, az they were returning from a funeral. Many others who were passing at the time saw it and expressed their sur prise at Patten's miraculous escape from death.
 After the accident the pair came on to Bisbee, returning to their home in the evening.

MARCUS A. SMITH.

It has seldom fallen to the lot of 6 statesman or a public servant to ren- der such conspicuous service to his people as Marcus A. Smith has been able to do during the recent session of Congress.
 MT. Smith was confronted by a stupendous task, a work that would discourage or overwhelm most men, but with the magnitude of the labor his genius was commensurate.
 He has saved the Commonwealth. He has perpetuated the autonomy of Arizona He has protected his peo- pie from political vassaiage. Future generations will honor and revere his name.
 In the meantime. 1t will be a pride and pleasure, as well as duty, for the democrats of Arizona to unani- mousiy nominate him for delegate to Congress when the territorial con vention convenes next summer.
 The people of Arizona will then do the rest.-Citizen.

DELINQUENT SALE
 ON MARCH 26th City Marshal SnOdgrasS Posts Notices to Owners
 of Property

Al 10 o'clock on the morning of March 26 from the front door of the fire house. City Marshal SnodgrasS will begin tax sale to dispose Of all property within the city limits of Bis bee on which the taxes have been paid for 1905.
 To the highest and best bidder for cash this property will be sold. Should the bid not be sufficient to cover the total amount against each separate piece of property, it will be withheld from sale, being bid in by the city.
 Altogether the delinquent list in cludes 166 separate pieces of prop erty on which the taxes have not been paid, some of them being val uable. Their delinquency is probably due to oversight and will be paid be- fore the date of the sale arrives.
 All this property went delinquent on the third Monday in December last. al which time the owners had notice that they must pay or inter ests and costs at a surprising rate Unde rthe Territorial law would begin 10 pile up.
 Or the first of this year the books w ere again opened and people given an opportunity to pay up. Those who failed to pay before the delinquent lists were prepared for posting will nnH ind their property among the others. Even after the posting was done yesterday by Marshal Snod- grass, three delinquents came in with the money before 6> o'clock
 Alter the property is sold at auc- ton the owners will have time in winch to redeem it. Should they fa:l to do this, warranty deeds will be given the bidders. Those who bid are amply protected. Not only will they get back the amount bid. but wiil receive interest on the money according to the length of time that expires between the date of sale and the redemption.
 Though the delinquency law, which applies to both city and county prop erty the same, imposes heavy penal ties for failure to pay taxes. plenty of time is given for redemption. Snodgrass posted notices yesterday at the fire house, pos.office and old foodgate on Main street

THIRTEEN TRUANTs ARE ROUNDED UP
 s -2 PhiIbrOOk Orgdnlzes Posse and Returns Them to
 School

Superintendent Philbrook, together with the janitor at the Central school and all the boys at the high school, yesterday organized themselves into posse to surround, capture and re- turn to school thirteen scholars from the aower grades who have been play ing tuants from time to time since school begun The majority of the boys were Mexicans
 The posse found the boys playing ball near the slag dump. They were arrested. When the mothers of the boys saw what had happened. they fell upon the posse with all the heat ed words of the Spanish language. Some would not venture near the posse, but stood in the dof way, calf ing and pointing their fin. ,ers at MT. Philbrook and the janitor in scorp. However, the march back to the school house was not impeded by the mothers.
 Ever since the boys begun their truancy a fruitless effort has been made to arrest them. They nearly always went in bunch. While playing at games, one or two of the Mexican boys are sent to a command ing view as sentinels, If they see anyone coming whom they suspect Of being a truancy officer, the signal is given, the boys disperse and take to places of seclusion on Chihuahua Hill. They crawl under houses, in boxes behind rocks or any place they. con sider a safe hiding place. -.
 The posse which was organized yesterday, located the truapts, sur rounded them and captured every boz. They were taken to the school house, reprimanded and threatened with a term in the reform school if they per sisted in truancy.
