Activity in the Southern Counties !:
Pronounced douglas City Notes.

The survey for an electric car line
was completed last week from Bisbee,
through the pass by way of Baker
vile, on to the new townsite of the
Warren Development company, back of
which are Hoval A. Smith and his
associates. From this new townsite
the route will take bee line for
Naco.
Bisbee is to have a Savings Bank
& Trust company with a capitalization
of Sl00,00 The Review says this is
the latest announcement in the local
business world, and the stockholders in
the new company will be none other
than the three local banks-the Bank
of Bisbee, Miners & Merchants and the
First National.
There were three homicides in Doug
las last week. The first was Mexican
girl named Jesuseta Angula, who was
shot by her lover; the second was
Jack Brice, killed by Charles Webb in
Winchester duel, and third was
Christobal Ramirez, fatally shot by
Deputy Sheriff Hayhurst and Constable
Shropshire while resisting arrest.
George l.. Root, one of the promo
ters of the new bank at Wickenburg,
is the inventor of device for the test
ing of banknotes, treasury notes and
similar bills. The bills are run through
it and if they are counterfeit they will
lose their colors. The coloring is put
on genuine bills in such manner that
they are not affected in the passage
through the machine.
Yuma is trying to solve difficult
problem. A leper was sent to Yuma
from California. The leper caused
CONSERVATION by appearing at the city
hall and explaining what his trouble
was. He demanded transportation to
New Orleans. He is in horrible con-
dition and it is likely that he will be
sent back to California. Much indig-
nation is lexpressed at Yuma against
San Bernardino county for thrusting
the leper onto Yuma.
The cid" has been raised again in
Jerome far enough to allow open gamb-
ling, but not far enough .to admit the
employment of women in saloons or to
allow them back in the ''red light
district AS it is now it will undoubt-
edly remain until after the city cleo
ton on April 2, as it will be impossible
to get an ordinance in force before
that day-or at the earliest few days
before that date-it having been found
that city ordinance cannot become a
law until it has been published for
three weeks.
The Douglas Dispatch states that
James Conroy has rendered his resig-
nation as foreman of the boiler shop of
the Copper Queen smelter, to accept
the position of master mechanic of the
Calumet & Arizona smelter, which was
vacated on the first of this month by
the resignation of George Meyers, who
has gone to Bisbee to engage in min
ing. Carl Gutke, who has been the
boiler foreman under Mr.. Conroy, has
also resigned his position with the
Copper Queen and has accepted the
position of the C. & A. boiler shop.
The body of man answering the
description of Humphrey O'Sullivan,
the Tucson wife murderer, was found
about three miles west of that city last
Friday. The man had killed himself
and the weapon which he used, 49,
caliber revolver, was found lying near
his head. A hole in his right temple
indicated the death wound and the po-
sition of the body proved he died with
out struggle. The opinion was passed
by those present that the corpse must
have been in the hills for at least two
months if not longer.
