BASEBALL TEAM SEEMS CERTAIN Plan For Professional Nine is Abandoned as RGiNg
 Impossible

Will Bishee have a baseball rear this year, or do the business men want a team?
 This is the question which ts hesr- asked among the fans, the question Of a professional team having been given up. They are anxious to know in view Of the fact that Cananea, Douglas, Tucson and Tombstone have already organized and are playing ball, while Bisbee remains silent, so
 far as this sport is concerned.
 Manager A. J. Bennett. when seen yesterday, stated that he was anxious to get a professional baseball team for Bisbee this season, but that the business men did not feel disposed 10 support it. He stated that be would go ahead and organize q team of local players. believing be could work them into shape so he "ouId beat either Of the other teams. He said he had received several letters from the managers of these team, in which anxiety was expressed 10 cross bats with Bisbee.
 These other cities have had an or ganized team for two weeks and have been practiHing during this time They are willing to match game with any O. the adjacent towns.
 Bennett stated that while he had had none or the players on the grid iron, he expected to work them out in a few days. However. lhey have been practiciuC some with the ball and glove on the street.
 In Bisbee there is considerable good material for a baseball team which can be worked out in good shape. The question just now is suitable location for a park. Bakers vile has been spoken of favorably, as has been the baseball park at Don Luis. However, this park is regard ed as being too far from BiSbee 10 do effectual practice work on. The players are to meet at Don Luis in lew days when it is expected a team Uill be organized.

WINS SUIT FOR VALUABLE LAND Commissioner of Land Office
 Decides in FaVer M
 of VerbGCk

After litigation lasting almost twC : years and against one of the mos powerful corporations in the United States, Robert P. VeTbeak has had his contest for l60 acres of land just south of the Osborne depot sustained by the commissioner of the land of fee at Washington, D. C.
 VeTbeck figures that his victory means not less than S10,000 to him that being the value he estimates his land to hS' in view of it's proximity to Osborne and the development of the Warren townsite by Michigan peO- pie.
 According 10 the line of reason ing followed by Verbeck. Osborne. though not an unimportant junction point on the Fl Paso 6 Southwestern, will some day be a fourishing little city, and may even some day be the metropolis of Cochise county be- cause of its being located between Bisbee, Naco and Douglas.
 The 160 acres to which Verbeck has just been given possession was filed on by L. R. Wilson. May 22. 1903. under the desert land act. After the year had expired. Verbeck made his filing, and on May 30, 1904, filed a contest against Wilson's desert land entry as well as an action of the Santa Fe Railroad Company, which took the ground up as a forest re serve land lieu selection.
 After Verbeck had filed his protest against Wilson's entry, the latter placed on record an assignment Of his interest to the Santa Fe Company, which through its attorneys, Here ford & Hazard, entered the fight against Verbeck, who employed At torneys Neale & Ross to look after his legal interests.
 The matter first came up before the register and receiver of the land office then in Tucson, and was de cided in favor of Verbeck. The Santa Fe appealed to the commissioner of the land office, whose decision just handed down cancels the lieu. selec- Eion of the Santa ,Fe as well as the entry of Wilson.
 In speaking Of the case yesterday. Ross stated that Wilson's chief contentious in presenting his ,ase were that Wilson had made no improvements as required by land within the first year, and that he had made his relinQuishment to the Santa 'e subsequent to the filing of Yer Deck's protest.
 In a brief in the case. Attorney Ross charged the Santa Fe and Will 'on with collision in an attempt 10 lefraud Verbeck of his rights.
 The losers in the action have thirty lays within which to take an appeal O Secretary of Interior E. 4. Hitch 'ock. They had not done so up to 'esterday as far as could be learned. l

Others He has been busy for tho
past two weeks sealing the vessels and
will probably be for some time to

There is a rumor that the new milk
dealers association may raise the price
OF milk. and DR.. Swarts OF the state
health department and others believe
that the dealers can not keep sanitary
places for their milk supply and sell
the milk at much less than eight cents
per quart.
This is one reason that some milk
is watered and that some barns are
kept In unsanitary condition.
IL is evident that the majority OF
the people Of this city are unwilling
TO pay eight cents per quart: but IL
is the opinion OF DR.. Swarts that II
they visited the places from which
the milk is supplied and learned a few
facts that might alter their views.
