BENNETT GETTING
 LEAGUE IN SHAPE BiSbee, Candnea, Douglas and Tucson Are
 Included

Manager A. J. Bennett of the base ball team has written a letter 70 W. A. Bates, president of the newly-or- ganized team at Cananea, in which he asks Cananea to come into the four-town league to include Bisbee, Cananea, Douglas and Tucson. He urges that Cananea get into the game with a good, live team, and advises him that within ten days all these towns should have been duly con- tracted to the league and have their men out on the diamond for pracuce work. In addition he has written the managers of the teams at Tucson and Douglas. asking for their ideas as to the proposed circuit.
 That Bisbee will have the winning team in the Southwest is the inten- ton of Manager Bennett He has in mind all the players for the team, and they are picked from the league teams in which he has played. He states that he has received a number of ap- plications from players all over the West, including a few from Bisbee and Lowell. He also states that the only players who would get a posi- tion on the team would be those who get out on the diamond in good, hard practice work and show him they can play. and even though they have the best recommendations they will have to deliver the goods before they can have position.
 That the Bisbee baseball team will been winner under the management of Bennett is no longer in doubt He is installing a system similar to the one used in first-class leagues. He stated yesterday that if Cananea or the other teams in the circuit could not furnish good game, he would cut them from his schedule, as poor game would do more to keep people away from the park than anything else. 1fi~
 Bennett made a trip to Lowell yes rerday. where he interviewed a num- Der Of fans on the baseball proposi- ton. He stated they were all very enthusiastic and promised they would do everything they could to help get the game started. They agree with MT. Bennett that this camp is one of the best in the country and should not plug along with pickup" team, but should get in the game with good, live players. They also agree that the best place for the games is az Bakersville, where a park could be built at g very low cost.
 MT. Bennett has secured an option on the ground to be used as a park. He is to meet Mir. Stanley, of the ho- tel in Bakersville. today. at which time it is expected he will secure a lease. The ball park at Bakersviile will be free from rocks. It Is con ceded to be the best place in this sec ton of the country for park.

REPUBLICAN WARD
 DELEGATES NAMED
Lack Of Interest Is Cause For Harmony And
 Good Will

Owing to the fact that there is but little interest manifested in the Re publican ranks over the municipal candidates, the mass meetings last night in all three wards were very harmonious
 At all three meetings the concensus of opinion was that straight Re publican ticket should be nominated In the Third Ward, seven delegates were chosen; in the Second. eight and in the First Ward fourteen.
 As soon as the meetings were call. ed, each got down to business and lasted but short time. The follow. ing is list of delegates:
 First Ward-S. Verran, Jr.; W. R. Tonkin. C. H. Holz, S. L. Gilman, John Norton Ed Scott, O. P. Hunt, J. B. Anderson, Charles Gring, Frank Neil A. E. Clark, Thomas Constable, J. G. Goldie, Sam Bowers
 Second Ward-W. H. Perrow, F. c. Henderson. H. NJ. Woods. William Hughes. A E. Lutley, E. A. Wittig Leonard Warrington, Lewis Hunt
 Third Ward-W. P. McNair. Frank R. OBrien, T. H. Wiggins, H. w Aiken, c. CT Finlayson, R. A. Kirk, E. P. Brewster.
 Republican leaders are not taking a hopeful view of the situation. While they will have full ticket in the field and will vote for them, those who even hope for victory are few and far between.
 At the present time. City Clerk Hicks is about the only one certain of nomination. Several have been proffered nominations on the council manic ticket, but have respectfully declined. For Mayor half a dozen have been mentioned, but no partic- ular one seems anxious to take a chance against the Democratic can didate.

LOYAL TRIBUTE
 TO REV. SHIELDS
Friends iD BiSbee Tender Him ReCepti0n-.Large
 KHmber Present

The congregation of the Episcopal | church and many members of other churches last night gave a reception in honor of the Rev. Harvey M. Shields the occasion being his second year as pastor of this church and his sixth year in the ministry in Bisbse. A large number attended the recep- ton which showed the appreciation of not only his congregation but others as well of the great work which Mir. Shields has been doing for the people of Bisbee in a charitable way.
 MT. Shields has become popular in Bisbee because of his work among the sick and needy as well as his ability as a preacher from the pulpit. Night after night he has remained at sick beds until a late hour. If there is a destitute home, anyone in need, or widow and orphans who need the attention of the charitably-disposed public, Mir Shields is the one who knows about it and the man looked to for their comfort. The apprecia- ton of this work was evidenced from the number who attended the recep- tion given last night in his honor.
 The most of the evening was spent in shaking hands and social conver- sation. Mrs. J. H. Nolan and Mrs. Williams favored the audience with solos. They were accompanied OF the piano by Clarence Krinbill, musi- cal director of the public schools. Punch and cake were served as light refreshments, the punch bowl being presided over by Mrs. s. w. Clawson and Mrs. Vim. Robinson.
 The first four years of his work in the ministry in Bisbee MT. Shields spent as pastor of the Presbyterian church. While in this capacity ne grew universally in favor. In the fifth year he saw the great oppor- tunities for charitable and benevolent work in the field opened by the Epis- copal church, and resigned to accept them. The reception was held last night few days previous to his min isterial anniversary, on account of Lent

NEW BANK BEING
 ORGANIZED HERE Local People To Promote Loan and Savings
 Company

Behind the purchase yesterday by Dr. c. l.. Edmundson of Rinehart's pharmacy is the almost completed or. ganization in Bisbee of a savings and trust bank, which will be operated in. dependently of the banks already do ing business in this city.
 The new project is not in any way connected with the recent decision of the Bank of Bisbee, First National Bank and Miners & Merchants Bank to organize a savings and loan bank, which will probably be located in the new structure that is to take the place of the Dubacher building in Brewery Gulch.
 Interested with Dr. Edmundson are l. w. Wallace, Justice c. A. McDon- aid. and others who have not yet been made public. It is said that several prominent local business men are as sisting in the backing of the enter prise.
 It was not until yesterday that it became generally known that ;he new and independent savings bank was be- ing organized by local citizens who
 
 of the banks now operating in Bis bee
 For several months Messrs. Edt mundson, Wallace, Mcdonald and others have been gradually developing their plans. which have reached the Doint of purchasing a drug store and lease on the building. That their plans are no longer indefinite. but are almost fully shaped is indicated by the investment made yesterday.
 IL could not be learned yesterday what the name of the new bank will be, it's capitalization or when it will begin the prepare it's new quarters with bank fixtures. It was stated. however. that the articles of incorpor- ation have been drawn and now await nothing but the signatures of the in corporators.
 It is the plan of the incorporators to make the new bank as much of a local concern as possible. To do this they have limited the number of shares to any one person to five at a par value of s100 each These shares will be placed on sale to whoever cares to purchase them and put up $500.
 Another meeting of the promoters will be held tonight, after which it is possible that they will be ready to make more definite announcements regarding their plans.
