.SHR|NERS LOST OA
 Fl PASO DESERT
Evidently ''Left-0vers" From CoChiSe County DeIega-
 ton to Phoenix.

The account in the Fl Pase Herald Of occupants of a car, bearing the streamer, We don't know where we're going, but we're on our way" savers of what may be left-overs from the Cochise county bunch who went from here in a private car to attend the annual pilgrimage of the Shriners at Phoenix the early part of last week. It Is also barely possible that strangers have secured possession of the car and are still using the stream CTS to hide their real identity and have some fun with the Fl Paso re porters. All the Bisbee Shriners have returned safe from the periIous trip across the desert and are busiIy engag- ed in their various business pursuits. The Fl Paso escapade viii bear cer- tain interesting features to them.
 The Fl Paso Herald has the follow ing account of the advent in that city of gay gang on pleasure bent:
 A bunch of men. apparently out for nothing but a good time, blew in this morning in a Pullman private car from the west on the Southwestern, and are willing away the hours of the day in seeing what they can see" about town. They are said to be Shriners and are out on a lark for their good health.
 The car which they travel in bears the streamer, we don't know where we're going. but we're on our way, on either side. The banner tells the story of the crowd as far as could be learned from any of the party. When asked by a reporter for the Herald. one of the party said: Well, we've been away from home 50 long that we've all forgotten where we started from and nobody seems to know where we will go next"
 It Is said that the party has been touring California the last two weeks and are now on their way east. but no member of the party will commit himself for fear Of being arrested.

IN HONOR IF q.
 PATRICK
Irish katienalists Make Prep arations for Grand Ball to Be Given at Opera House To- morrow Night.

There is probably no nationality in the world that is as devoted to it's patron nor celebrates his anniversary so universally and unfailingly as the Irish race. and from all indications the sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle, who reside in Pisbee and the Warren district. have made their usu- al extensive preparations to commem crate the life of St, Patrick on ths. his feast day. However, on account of today's being Sunday only religious observance will take effect until to- morrow, when merry-making will be given full swing.
 Among the various societies in the city which will celebrate this day the Irish Nationalists will take the fore most part. as is the custom in the camp. This organization a couple of weeks ago appointed its committee to make arrangements for the grand an nual ball, which is always the feat ure of the celebration and which will take place tomorrow night. This committee consisting of the following members: P. Nj. Kelley, chairman; J. T. Heating. William Fahey. Joe McGovern, Tom Jennings, Nj. Con nelly and Jas. Letson.
 ] Arrangements were made for the opera house for tomorrow evening, and also for the decoration which will be predominantly green as is fitting on this occasion.
 Due to the efforts of the committee there will probably be 3 iaiger at tendance this year than in. any pre- ceding year. judging from the: large advance sale of tickets. It was at first thought that. there would not be more than three hundred people in attendance but the returns indicate that the total will be nearer five hun dred
 When seen last evening by a Re view reporter and asked concerning arrangements for the dance, Chairman Kelley of the committee said:s
 q feel confident that this will be the most successful ball ever given in the city. as everyone has entered into the spirit of the occasion, and render ed every assistance possible. We are already assured large sale of tickets. and the enthusiasm displayed is most encouraging"

FOUR MADDENED HORSES DRAG
 STAGE
Manager Jack H6atSoh Has Narrow Escape From Death. Driver Is In Critical Condi- tion--Third Party Unhult.

Had it not been for unusual good fortune it is probable that Jack float son, general manager of the Butte & Arizona property in the Huachuca MoRntains would now be dead. or at least permanentiv injured as the re suit of a runaway in which he and two other men were involved while going from the laountains to Here ford on his way to Bisbee. As it Is, Hoatson is merely suffering from few bruises while one of the other men lies in a critical condition and the third escaped unhurt.
 Late Friday afternoon Manager Hoatson decided to come to Bisbee to attend to some business matters, which required his attention here, and just caught the stage which runs between the mountains and the rail- road station. In the conveyance be- sides himself, was George Overafter. and on the seat was the driver, who Is universally known as Jim" The stage was drawn by four horses. Everything went well until within a mile of the barn at Hereford. when all four horses jumped together, and getting the bits between their teeth bolted. The driver remained perfect Iy cool and tried in every way to quiet the excited horses but the beasts l continued on their wild course, only acceding to the driver the privilege of keeping them in the road. Overaf- ter saw that the horses were beyond control and jumped to safety. Hoat- son states that he was of the opinion | the team would slow up when they reached the barn, and decided that there was more danger in jumping than in staying with the rig. so he | adopted& the latter course.
 All went well until within very
 short distance of the barn. when the front wheels suddenly hit a ditch in l the road and threw the stage sidewfse and over two or three times before ! stopping. Before this time the horses were maddened and continued to drag the overturned stage until they gave up from exhaustion.
 Hoatson crawled from under the wreckage unhurt, except for a few
 bruises, and when the driver was
 picked up it was found he was in a l serious condition. He was taken to Martins ranch and at last reports was resting well, although internal injur- ies are feared.
 Manager Hoatson continued on his
 way to Bisbee. arriving here in time to attend to his business.
 When seen by a Review reporter,
 he stated that 1t was the narrowest escape he had ever had in his life, the only wonder being that he was not caught under the stage and dragged to ! death. He fears that the driver is fatally injured.

pretty good list at that.
1t is curious thing that not only is it

ALLEGED BRUTAL ASSAULT

OF SEVENTH PRECINCT.
Incident Which Occurred Last
Night Described as Inexcusable
Treatment of a Prisoner.

Mr.. John w. Mitchell of 1854 street,
Georgetown. has written to Maj Sylves-
ter. chief of police, alleging mistreatment
by the Georgetown police of a man under
arrest last night, and also complains OF
discourteous treatment on the part of
others in authority in the precinct. His
letter reads:
Il want to call your attention to the
most brutal and inexcusable case Of as
Georgetown last night that have ever
seen in the course of fifteen years Of
newspaper work. 1t involved also gross
incompetence and offensive ignorance on
the part of the officer. whoever he was. In
charge of the seventh precinct.

clearly see. Some negroes were raising a
cars, as they frequently do at night. The
car stopped at Wisconsin avenue and P
street where 1t took the conductor, mo-
torman and controller handle to put the
crowd off, One of the negroes was very
drunk, as had passed him on the street
a few minutes before, but he was old and
lame and not dangerous.

He exists as certainly as love and gen.
crosby and devotion exist, and you know

dreary would be the world If there were
no Santa Claus! 1t would be as dreary
as If there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then. no
poetry, no romance to make tolerable this
existence. We should have no enjoyment
except in sense and sight. The eternal
light with which childhood fills the world

Not believe in Santa Claus! You

might get your papa to hire men to
watch in all the chimneys on Christmas
eve to catch Santa Claus, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there is no
Santa Claus. The most real things in

that's no proof that they are not there.
