NEW CITY CHARTER IS ! THROUGHLY DISCUSSED

City Attorney Merritt. of Bisbee. City Attorney Lockwood. of Douglas, the mayor and Ave aldermen. Dr. Greene being sick. and City Clerk Da' ley, made sn exhaustive examination of the new charter Sunday night which win be presented to the legislature at Phoenix.
 The charter originated bere two months ago, where Mir. Merritt and a few others were appointed a committee to find out the best laws for municipal government which would be for the benefit of every city or town. Owing to the difference be tween state and territorial laws it was not feasible to secure a charter for Bisbee alone and it was decided to go over the entire laws appertain- ming to cities and towns so that the charter would be applicable all over the territory.
 In the meantime, owing 10 trouble !. in Phoenix over franchises granted to corporations In the capital of the territory, the people of that city had aroused the council toward seeking remedies by securing new city charter. The committee looking Rf- ter the Bisbee charter held a confer euce with the Phoenix people with the result that the best features in their charter were embodied in the former. Mir. Merritt held conferences with Mir. Lockwood over the require ments of Douglas, and before the members of the council and city exc cutives and the charter was thorough. ly scanned and discussed last night
 It has been approved and passed by the Bisbee council and at the reg ular meeting of the Douglas council on Monday 1t will without doubt be passed in this city. After it goes through the hands of the Phoenix council and Is passed 1t will be pre-. scented to the present legislature in order that it's benefits may be felt al once in case 1t Is approved by that body.
 The charter is applicable to towns of over 300 people, its provisions call. ing for a community to be that large before 1t Is incorporated as a town. When the town reaches to the num- Der of 5000 people 1t may be incorpo- rated as a city if 1t wishes, by hold. ing a vote in which this Is favored by the majority To hold the cleo ton the board of supervisors must be petitioned and notice of the election made thirty days in advance. The supervisors, ir both the election for city or town rights. appointing the ballot judges and canyassers, and looking after the election rules.

Every day there are from ten no twenty carloads of machinery, proyi- sions, supplies and general merchan- disc shipped to and from the neighbor- ing country.
 For the 1 p. m. transfer to Mexico today the following switch list was handed to the c. l.. Andrews com pany, the Southwestern agents:
 One car of furniture. two cars of general merchandise, one car of pow der, one car of dynamite. one car of coke and two cars of hay, making a total of eight cars going into Mexico on one train Through the Nacezari railroad broker three cars of hay. one car of coal and one car of supplies were sent, making total of five more cars.
 Returning trains carry many cars of ore from Mexican mines to this city and the traffic both ways is in creasing at great rate every week.

BILL STILES WAS AT CASA
 GRANDE
John H. Slaughter Is In City at Same Time, But Did Not Know It In Time So He Could Make Arrest

When Joan IT. Slaughter was on his way to Phoenix he was told at Benson that he could reach the capi. tal city over the Marieopa and phoe. nix railroad and he bought a ticket for Marscopa. The bridge was gone on the Marieopa road aud when he reached Maricopa. Mir. Slaughter found that it would be necessary for him to return to Casa Grande aud So by stage Co Florence aed there take the Phoenix and Eastern road to phoenix,
 The night Mir. Slaughter passed through Casa Grande for Maricopa Billy stiles. the well known outlaw. was at Casa Grande. where he was raised Had Mir Slaughter known that be could not have reached Phoe, nix via Maricopa be would have left the train at Casa Grando and it is almost certain that he would have caught the outlaw and turned him oy. CT to the Arizona officers,
 When Mir Slaughter returned Co Casa Grande the next day he did not learn that Stiles had been there un, til after he was several miles out on the road to Florence, and even then he would have returned to Casa Gsande had it not been that he was accompanied by Mrs, Slaughter aud Miss Edith Stowe.
 On the stage Mir, Slaughter entered Into conversation with the driver and finally remcmbring that Stiles former home was Rt Casa Grando he inquired of the driver if he was ae, quaiuted with him. This inquiry brought the information that Stiles. accompanied by two Mexicans, had been in Casa Grande the night before and had left there for the south. Slaughter knows many of the real. dents of Casa Grande and had he stopped at Casa Grande instead ot go. ing to Maricopa he would no doubt have received information of the pres. ence of the bandit In that vicinity and effected his capture. Slaughter knows Stiles we'll and 1t would have been a pleasure to him to turn him over to the officers of the law.
