 Hour of 1l:39,

The question which Is now distract ing the people of the City of Bisbee is. What will happen when an irresisti- ble force strikes an immovable body?" and the whole discussion has arisen over the stopping of the clock in the tower of the Pyrhian Castles
 Whether this situation will develop into a tragedy or not is hard to say. but in the meantime the people of the municipality are getting up too soon in order to be on time. and are find ing they are too late after they get +up too early. and it is all on account of the irresistible force which the owners of the Pythian Castle will exert before they will let the immoyable council bluff them into winding the clock. or paying for the repairs which are nee essary from time to time. Up to the present time both sides to the contro- versy have been very reticent, and would not discuss the matter in any of it's phases, considering it as their own klittle game of draw poker, the best buffer to take the stakes, but now the people of the city are beginning to realize the comfort they obtained from the lofty chronometer. and are sick and tired of seeing it's hands marking

 Yesterday Justice-elect Hogan was around town circulating a petition ask ing the Board to give him the appoint ment. In the event that Justice Mur- phys resignation is accepted, no doubt the Board will appoint MT. Ho- gan who has been elected by the peo- pie to assume the office of Justice of the Peace on January l.
 It was also reported last night that Constable "Biddy" Doyle would ten der his resignation at the same time and retire to the peaceful pursuit of happiness. after service on the police force of the city for the past eight years.
 Jay wilmoth, elected constable to take office January 1 will be an ap- plicant before the Board for the ap- pointment as constable in the event that Doyle's resignation Is presented,
 Justice Murphy has been Justice of the Peace for the past two years and has made a satisfactory officer an every way. He would have been re- nominated and elected at the last cleo ton but desired to enter into business at Lowell. After much urging on the part of his friends he was induced to make the race for the assembly on the democratic ticket and was elected by one of the largest majorities re- corded.
