NEGRO lS CARELESS WITH SIX SHOOTER
Argument Results In Shot Be- ing Fired Into Ceiling
 Culprit Arrested,

About o'clock Sunday morning two negroes became involved in quarrel in one of the saloons on O. K. street, during which one of them. Henry Will Hams, it is alleged, fired a shot at his opponent, Samuel Jeffries. Will Hams, however, protested that he never fired the shot at Jeffries, and as aI eYIdence WouId IeaQ to UnIs con ciusiou. q charge of dischars sins fire arms within the city limits has been placed against him.
 According to the story current the men had been in the saloon for some time, and had been arguing about va rious matters. It was known that there was bad blood between them. and sensational developments were looked for. The argument kept up for some time, when it is alleged, Will Hams walked behind the bar and SC curing a six-shooter fired it, the bul- let entering the ceiling
 Constable Twomey arrived on the scene within a few minutes and placed Williams under arrest. after which he arrested Jeffries to insure his ap pearance in court as a witness. 1 Judging from the place where the
 bullet entered the ceiling and the spot 1 where the man was standing 1t would
 seem that he intentionally fired it into
 the ceiling or that while in the act oi bringing it down on his opponent dis
 charged 1t accidentally.
 ] Williams will be given a hearing
 on charge of discharging fire arms
 within the city limits this morning at II o'clock

BEAUTY CONTEST
 OVER SHADOWS ALL
Great Rivalry Has Already Sprung Up Between BiSbee And Douglas As To Chances Of Their FayoriteS.

Although it was only Saturday af- teTnooa that the committee on ar rangenients for the big Elks celebra- ton announced that there would be a beauty contest, the ladAes of o9glas and Bisbee being the contestants, that event has already overshadowed all of the others in connection with the big affair, and will undoubtedly lead to the entrance of large number of the fair sex from each of the cities. However, dispute has arisen which will have to be decided before next Sunday when the contest will be clos ed.
 o=1 ss7s=s5assy Sun ay Te .+l. fKITH, in fuii charge of the beauty contest made made 8 trip to Douglas in connection with this and other matters pertaining tC the celebration. and while there was told in rather pointed language that although Douglas was not bit wor- ried over the outcome of the contest, it seemed very unfair that all three of the judges should be selected from Bisbee. The Douglasltes stated that they did not question for sec ond the fairness of the three gentle men selected. but feared that they might be guided uncoDsciousiy v lo- cal pride. For this reason 1t was demanded that two of the committee selected resign to make room for the selection of judge from Douglas who in conjunction with the Bisbee representative could select a third from some outside portion of the ter. ritory.
 This arrangement was reported to the committee by Kirk and all agreed at once that it seemed to be no mere than fair, SO that L 5. Me Keehan. E. W. Spiers and w. A Schwartz will decide today among themselves which will remain on the committee. Rumors have been cur rent during the past couple of days to the effect that two of these three are thinking of forsaking single blessedness. so it highly probable that they will be requested to step down and out.
 The committee also announced yes terday the receipt of a telegram from Major Gordon ". Lillie. stating that he would be glad to allow Guglielpo Borracho to take part in the cele bration. and would further allow the female band with his show to take part in the big street parade. Being an Elk himself, he wished the local lcdse all saccess.
 This insures the big chariot race which is scheduled .aad adds another attraction to the 5ig parade. which will without doubt surpass anytnins ever seen in Bisbee.
 The baseball game will undonated | ls be a big feature of the afternoon as both teams are rapidly perfectine their work. and mach betting is
 going on at even money.
 At Least POO Douglas Elks will ar
 rive in the city on 8 special train next Sunday morning.

MONEY DISAPPEARS
 FROM OWNERS POCKET

Samuel Edmondson. member Of the colored fraternity of this city, claims that while he was seated at a poker table in the Pabst saloon yes terday afternoon he was relieved of S110 by some one who was stand ing back of him. watching him play. Up to the present time the money has not been recovered.
 Edmondson had been playing in the game for some time. and states that he had ten $10 and two S5 bills in a pocketbook which he carried in his right hand trousers pocket. There was quite crowd of negroes and Mexicans standing around watching the game, several of whom were standing in back of him. Edmondson finally put his hand into his pocket and missed the purse. There was quite little commotion and finally an officer was called iH. everyone present being re quested to remain untii they were searched
 This operation was gone through without disclosing the alleged thief and as nothing more could be done, the crowd again turned it's attention to the games, the drinking and the dancing.

IN DRUNKEN ROW MEXICAN IS
 STABBED
Too Much Liquor Leads To Cutting Scrape Which May Result FataIly.-Fight Was Continuous Affair.

As a resnlt nf the imhihing of ton much "dago red' by some of the Mex ican residents of Upper Brewery Gulch on Sunday afternoon there was A continued drunken row in progress in that quarter of the city for several hours, requiring the presence of of ficers there for most of the afternoon and finally culminated in the proba- ble fatal stabbing of Fernando Per alta by Serafino Diaz. The latter is now in the county jail being held on a charge of attempt to murder, which will be changed to homicide if the vic tim dies.
 Early Sunday afternoon Constable Twomey and Deputy United States Marshal Foster were called to Upper Brewery Gulch. and on their arrival at the place designated. found num- ber of Mexicans engaged in a tree-for- all fight which threatened to develop into a bloody affair. To forestall trou- bIe the officers placed five of them un- der arrest and landed them in jail. Thinging that the trouble was ended they thought no more of the matter until late in the evening when they got another call.
 On arriving at the scene this time they found Peralta weltering in his own blood, which was running from a wound in his left side under the heart. Diaz as accused of doing the cutting and a search brought him ! to light in another portion of the
 gulch, at which time whether pretend | ed or not, he was in a very drunkeI condition. He was placed under aE | rest and landed in jail.
 1 It seems that these two men ha'
 been in the first gang but they wer comparatively sober. After thtE companions had been taken away, l is believed they also began to throN l off restraint and becoming saturate
 with the liquor got into quarre which resulted in the cutting.
 Diaz will be given preliminar hearing before Justice Hogan toda
 at 2 o'clock unless Peralta takes turn for the worse. The physician
 held out hope for his recovery ye'

FOREIGNERS ARE
 LITIGATING FREELY
Criminal Complaints Follow One Another in Rapid Suc- ceSSion.-Neither Side Will Be 0utdone,

Judging from the gait at which they are travelling 1t seems Michael Vuco- yich. Peter Lewis and John Radoyich are endeavoring to establish records for the filing of charges in the local justice courts. At the present time be- esss .saes ssTo 71, iI5si 5 fiied complaints apiece. ncne Of which, up to date. have been sustained.
 The whole trouble started couple of weeks ago when Vucovich one night reported that he had been held up, and charged Peter Lewis and John RAdoyich with the crime. The two men were placed under arrest by Sheriff White, but at the preliminary hearing were discharged for lack of evidence. After being released Lewis and Radovich filed complaint against the former complainant charging him with malicious prosecu. tion but when this came to trial il was also dismissed. she district at orney's office being convinced that the evidence was insufficient.
 Within a few minutes the two for mer defendants again appeared in the court before Justice Hogan and swore to a complaint charging Vucovich
 with perjury. The defendant was again brought into court, heard the complaint read, his hearing was set for September 27. and he was then released in the sum of $500 bail to ap pear.
 This morning, VUcovich, who at thai time, was one case behind his oppo nents, appeared before Justice Bur cdik and swore to complaint charg ing Lewis and Radovich with having sold liquor without license. War rants were issued and the two defend ant brought into court The complaint was read to them. and they were ther released on bond in the sum of s250 ecah to appear for trial this afternoon at 1:50 o'clock before Justice Bur dick. What will be the outcome of all tht litigation, in which the county seems to be the principal sufferer. is hard tC tell, as each side seems determined tr cause the other as much embarrass
 ment as possible.

REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE
Of a Man Who Almost Lost His Life
in Shower Of Sheep.

From the Chicago Tribune.
During one of my visits to the Gunni-
son country. in southwestern Colorado
with two of my friends, | stepped off
the narrow-gauge train Just at the en-
trance of the Black Canyon, at a point
which was recommended to us as one
OF the most favorable places for trout
fishing along the wild Gunnson river
One day while fishing right under a cliff
formed by one of the plateau supporting
rocks, we were aroused by rumbling
noise which was distinctly audible above
the roar of the stream. Then we saw
the body of a sheep floating down the
stream; In another moment we saw two
sheep being carried down the torrents:
the next moment the body Of lamb fell
within foot OF where I was sitting.
Then followed a verltable shower OF
sheep. One of my companions was struck
senseless, and before | could go TO his
assistance | was struck on the head by
a large ram and was carried by his
weight into the raging river.
In this part Of the Gunnson rocks pro-
trude above the surface of the water.
and no one can cross the stream without
assistance and hope to come out alive.
| was hurled from side to side and from
rock to rock, when. after being carried
down the stream fully ten furlongs. I
was washed up on to pile OF sheep that
nad accunuateuN ON one OF tnc rocks, l
was bruised and scared to the point of in
sanity but | managed to reach the
shore. although my life was again i'm
periled by reason of a break In the dam
of sheep which had temporarily brldged
the stream.
The explanation of the shower OF sheep
Is as follows: The sheep and cattle
men, who each claimed the plateau as
their grazing ground. had been engaged
in bitter warfare. The cattle men main
tanned that where the sheep were allowed
to Craze the land was rendered unfit for
cattle to Craze upon, owing to the fact
that the sheep cropped the grass 50
closely that there was nothing left for
the cattle. On this particular morning
the sheep were In corral. and the an
gered cattle men took advantage Of the
absence of the herders. opend tho gates
OF the corral. stampcded them and ran
them to the edge OF the plateau. over
which 300 OF the sheep were preclpitated.

over his private telephone. He is credited
with being the heaviest single owner of
railroad stock. in the United States.
These two, Messrs. Cassatt and Frick,
have been and are responsible for the
Pennsylvania policy 1t was they who
brought it about that the Pennsylvania
bought practical control of the roads
which dominated the soft coal traffic IT
was they who lost the fight to George j.
Gould at Pittsburg. 1t was they who
projected and carried through the tre-
mendous extensions of the road to New
York The policy of the road is theirs.
They are the Pennsylvania railroad. They
are that strange, elusive people-"the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania rail-
road
Their policy has one very direct result
upon the relationship between the Penn
sylvania and the public They have vast
ly improved the railroad as a highway of
commerce. They have made possible the
growth of the commerce of New York,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. They have
done far more than any other railroad to
make 1t possible to pour an ever-increas-
inG flood of traffic through the gaps Of
the Allegheny mountains. In so far, the
Cassatt policy on the Pennsylvania has
been a public policy. and has made the
road a better, more efficient servant of
the public.
OF course, many smaller matters can be
brought up on the other side. 1t has with
out doubt paid rebates to the Standard
Oil company, even as late as January,
1906 1t has also, without a doubt.
smashed very fiat the little dream castles
of many and many a small mlne-owner
in western Pennsylvania. In the fnan-
cial world it has probably frozen ou.'
unfortunate minority stockholders at
least as often as any other railroad.
These are but incidents-large maybe. to
the Individual. but small In relation to
the general public.
Years ago Mr. Andrew Carnegie had a
fight with this Pennsylvania railroad. just
in the ordinary course of business. which.
by the way. nearly always led him into
a fight with some one or other. In the
course of this fight Mr.. Carnegie made
a contract with the Goulds that If they
would bring the Wabash into Pittsburg
the Carnegie steel works would give the
Wabash % per cent of its tonnage, in and
out From that day the Gould forces
hammered at the gates of Pittsburg. The
Pennsylvania withstood them, but lost its
fight.
