PIONEER SEEKS LIVING ON STREETS
Robert Shearer is Veteran of Strenuous Fighting
 Days in County

Conducting a tamale stand on Brew cry, where one can get the best coffee in town, the real old prospector's camp kind, and lot of hot dishes. is Rob ert Shearer. a frontiersman and old timer of Arizona. Privilege to con duct his stand was recently granted by the council through the request Of Councilman Hogan, who at the time attempted to secure a free permit for the old man on the ground that he was not able to pay the usual license fee.
 MT. Shearer was among the forty piEers who invaded California. Lat CT, when San Francisco became city of considerable importance, he was elected City Assessor. He held this position one term. but was defeated for reelection in a sensational cam paign in the course of which he took stand against bossism and declared for an equitable taxation of all property interests. The step cost him his po- ifical life in the metropolis of the coast. Subsequently he came to Ari- zCpa and was here through the troub- lous periods of the seventies and eighties. During the raids of the Apache Kid and his associates, Shear CT was ranehing in the San Pedro val ley part of the time, and had some thrilling experiences with the Indians. He led several expeditions against them and became noted for daring in attacks net only upon the Apaches but upon renegades and bad men generally who infested the county during this troublous period. His exertions in this direction together with old age have made him at the present time de pendent on his tamale stand income for living, the condition of his health being such that he cannot engage in phy sical exertion.

 |. These men, together with those sentenced from now on. will be put to work on the streets and alleys. or ficer Spaulding expects to work gang in the scavenger service shortly. Com plaints have come in from time to time about the bad condition of the Naco Road, and the road up Tombstone canyon. In the Naco Road deep holes have been washed and worD by use. It is proposed to have the chain gangs work these places and put them in shape. The Tombstone canyon road is badly covered with large rocks and a number of holes. The chain gang will be put to work on this road. The gang did nor work Saturday because of the illness of Mir. Rigby.
 Next week Officer Spaulding will be- gin cleaning-up campaign among the negroes and Mexicans on Chihuahua Hill. It will be similar to the one made last spring. These people have been in the habit of going dirty and they will be made to take bath and clean up. It has also been their GUS tom to throw slops and waste in their yards, on steps or any place convent, ent- IL is proposed to make them clean this up and hereafter refrain from this practice The chain gang will assist in this work. It is claimed the bad sanitary condition of Chihua- hua Hill is largely responsible for the many cases of typhoid fever from that district.

THE ANNEXATION OF
 LOWELL ID BISBEE
Probable That Supervisors Will Defer Action Until
 Court Gives Opinion

The question of annexing Lowell to Risbee is one of general comment in both Bisbee and Lowell. While Low ell contends that their interests are not common with Bisbee, and that they , do not want to incur the taxation of 6this city, yet large number of Lowell people are in favor of the annexation. Those faYoring annexation contend that while Bisbee taxation is some -what higher than they would like to see it, yet when it comes to the ex- peuse of establishing city govern ment, officers and the necessary off cial equipment for Lowell after incor- pcration the taxes will far exceed what Bisbee is now paying. There are conservative business men Of Lowell of the opinion that the best thing for Lowell to do if protection in every way is wanted, together with low taxation. is to become part of Bisbee.
 While but one of che Board of Su- lseryisors, MT Taylor, expressed an opinion on the matter. should it come before the board. it is generally belieV- ed that, in view of the fact that a suit Is to be filed by the City of Bisbee for permission to annex Lowell, the board will take no action in the matter until after an opinion has been given by the District Court This belief has been generally circulated and Is meeting with the general approval of the busi- ness me nof Bisbee, and some in Low eli. A statement comes from Lowell that there are but eight or ten busi- ness men of Bisbee. and some in Low posed to the annexation.
 With the City of Bisbee the whole matter centers on the point as to whether a sewer could be run through Lowell if that city was incorporated and did not want it. The opinion of all the attorneys in Bisbee who were questioned by a representative of the Review yesterday was that the sewer could be run through Lowell If Bisbee could show to the court that 1t was absolutely necessary. and no other channel or outlet could be obtained

THE POUNDMASTER'S
 QUARTERS BURN
Caught from Oil Stove. Men Who HOOted firemen are
 Liable to Arrest

The city pound burned last night The fire was started about g o'clock, when an alarm was turned in The chemical engine and the hose reel re sponded When these arrived the building was burned beyond recovery The attention of the department was then diverted to saving other buildings adjacent The loss is estimated at about s200. While the origin of the fire is unknown it is supposed to have started from an oil stove which was burning at the time the house caught fire.
 Considerable complaint was made by members of the fire department as to their treatment while pursuing their duties. They claim that hack drivers conflicted with them in various ways, and that a driver of the Brophy hack line between here and Lowell drove over the hose line three times.
 The fire department made gallant run for the fire when the alarm was turned in.
 Nothing was left undone to save the building, but it was practically con sumed by the flames when the depart ment arrived. A crowd of loafers hooted the department on the way, and had it not been for the conservative men in the department a general mix up would have taken place. Members of the department claim that while they were pulling the fire machine past the o. K. saloon number of loaf CTS sJanding in front passed uncompli- ment2ry remarks. Police officers were given descriptions of these men and are looking for them. If they succeed in finding any of the "hoot- ers' they will be arrested on charge of using abusive language towards cit iZens.

Bob jackson, a youug Hillsboro
negro whose name has figured fire.
quently in local criminal, is "ln bad''

Last Thursday night jackson and a
friend named Ed. Simms took G. G.

we're notified Communication with
neighboring towns was established
by telephone and II was learned that
the rig had gone through Leesburg In
the direction of Washington G. II.
The police of the Fayette county
capital we're notified and when Jack
son and Simms reached that town
they received an unexpected recep'
tiop. Officer Kerrigan intercepted
them and was leading the horse
towards the city prison when the
passengers stampeded- The officers
opened fire and jackson dropped with
broken arm Simms got away.

When, in 1871, Clement L. Vallan.
nigham, the copperhead chieftain of
the rebellion days, warned his party
against waging further futile war
against the Hesitation of the preced-
ing decade, he paid striking tribute
to the wisdom and the patriotism of
the Republican party. The party Is
still doing things which its enemies
are compelled to accept. During the
discussion of the rate bill In the Sen.
ate the President and his party were
assailed by the Democrats, but In the
end all we're compelled to fall into
line In support of the Republican
measure. When, few days hence,
1t is placed on the national statute
book, another great exploit In practi-
cal legislation will be inscribed to the
Republican party's credit. This meas.
ure, which originated with Republi-
can President, was shaped by Repub-
licans, and passed Republican Con-
gress by virtually unanimous vote.
In the congressional campaign this
year 1t will make tens of Thousands OF
votes for the Republicans, particular
ly in the west. For nearly half a cen
tury almost every great measure
which has gone on the national statute
book has been put there by the Repub
lican party, and most Of them have
heen opposed by the Democracy. In
1906, whe the Republicans are abou,
TO celebrate the 6ftieth anniversary
Of the establishment of their party al
national organization, It ought to bs
an easy and pleasant task to win q
sweeping Republican victory In the
congressional elections.

The "Corn Gospel" Train.

"Is 1t really true, want to know.
that them blue-sky farmers can ac-
tually make an extra kernel grow on
an ear of corn?" A farmer in Nebras-
ka was asking the question. says Eu-
gene Lyle, in Worlds Work. He was
half contemptuous of the "blue-sky"
farmers. They were young men a
third of his age, professors in the ag-
ricultural school Of the state univer-
sity, with education and linen collars.
Never in their lives had they driven a
load of produce to town. And what
could they know about farming, any
how? But despite the old veterans
sniff, there was a waver of credulity
in his tone, and in his look positive
eagerness. What II, after all, the
vague and disdained thing. book

land yield more than its usual crop?
