POLICE ORDER
OF SYLVESTER
WENT ASTRAY
lMystery in Failure of
Instructions to Be
Effective.
fOflcerS Now Refuse to
Discuss Sale of
Tickets.

Chief interest in the method of
diSposing of tickets for the police
benefit fund centered today in the
mystery concerning the failure of
Major Sylvester's instructions about
the disposal of tickets in certain
quarters of the city to be effective.
AS published in The Times yeSter-
day, the superintendent of police
says that he positively prohibited the
sale of seats to suspicious women.
Patrolman Mcdonnell, a trusted
veteran of the force and a capable
policeman, said without hesitation
that he had sold tickets to such
women.
Mcdonnell Refuses to Talk.
A Times reporter this morning en-
deavored to obtain a statement
from Patrolman William Mcdonnell
as to whether he had ever received
any orders against selling the
tickets to disorderly houses from
his superior officers.
He declined absolutely to talk to
the reporter or to have. anything to
say regarding the matter today, al
though admitting yesterday that he
had sold the tickets in small num-
Der to a number of the women of
his beat, adding that he had nothing
to conceal and that his full list
was subject to inspection.
He denied absolutely at that time
that any woman had been forced to
take SIS worth of tickets, as alleged
by one of the women.
And Precinct Superintendent, Too.
Capt. G.. II. Williams, of the First
precinct, when asked by a Times
reporter today if he had received
any order from headquarters re-
garding the non-sale of tickets TO
suspicious women, and whether he
had in turn transmitted these
orders TO the patroImen, said:
Owing to the turn affairs have
taken, / must decline to say one
word on the subject for the present.
I will have to refer you TO the
superintendent for any information
desired"
According to a statement at Police
Headquarters today, Captain williams
of the First precinct station. having su-
pervision over the district in which Po-
liceman Mcdonnell sold tickets. was

THE HOFFMAN MYSTERY
BEGINNING TO TIGHTEN
Some Clue to the Movements Of the
Only Survivor of the Grindell Party.

Whether Adolph Hoffman. the only
survivor Of the Inflated Grindell ex-
petition to the interior of Mexico ani
Timburon Islands. is a thief or is dead
will probably be known within the
next few days. as the sheriffs office
is now in possession IF information
which has not only led to he recor..ry
of the buggy which he hired -rou one
of the local livery stables, but also "f
data, which will lead in finding
him. says the Bisbee Review.
Some days ago Hoffman hired a
horse and buggy at the Palace livery
stables and after being gone twenty
four hours the matter was reported
to Sheriff Jack White at Tombstone.
The sheriff Immediately issued in
structions to his deputies throughout
the county to be on the lookout for
Hoffman. Nothing was heard of the
matter until Tuesday when White
himself. while riding in from a trip
to the Huachucha mountains, found
the horse wandering about the plains
and brought him to town. Yesterday
the sheriffs office was in receipt of
the following telegram:
"Huachucha Siding. Sept. 90.
Sheriffs Office:
Found buggy overturned in canyon.
close by harness complete. also suit
case. Blood on seat of buggy. Send
officer to investigate.
(SigneO E. p. A. LARRIEU.
Jack White Immediately left for
Huachucha Siding on horseback.
Instead of the original theory that
Hoffman intended stealing the horse
and buggy, the opinion is now prev
alent that while making the long
drive. for whatever reason is not
known. the occupant of the buggy met
with some accident and will probably
be located in the mountains.
The entire affair is a mystery at
the present time as deep as the losing
OF the members of the Inflated Grin
dell party, of which Hoffman was the
only one who survived. 1t is posi-
BILE that he was temporarily out of his
mind.

A FEW FIGURES ON
THE FARM PROFITS
Gathered From Various Sources. A
Large Profit on q Half Acre Of
Strawberries.

Mr.. Chambers who is ranching on the
Higley place adds the weight of his
testimony to that of other successful
farmers in the valley. Mr.. Chambers
was in the city a few days ago and
says that while the water supply has
not been what he needed his gross re-
ceipts on 12O acres that is in actual
cultivation will run thus far this year as
much as s344O. His expenses will not
run much over $500 for all necessary
labor and water and other items.
One of the sources of revenue has
been pasturage for which he has re-
ceived $3.50 for the last three months,
a total of $3.50. He has also cut 20 tons
of hay which he sold for s12 a sum
of $40 all told. Then he has cut over
100 tons of alfalfa for which he expects
to get not less than Sl7 n ton before
the winter is over. Figuring even at
SIS which is n low estimate he will re-
ceive $3.50 from this source. In addi-
ton he has several stacks Of first crop
hay with some foxtail in it, about 30
tons in all which he figures at Sc TO s.
per ton or a total of $500
Besides this he has sold a consider
able amount of eggs and from cows
has received considerable profit, the
exact figures on which he has not at
hand. He is very we'll satisfied with
the results he has obtained in farm
ing in the valley and has great faith
in the future.
Another rancher from the Cartwright
neighborhood who did not care for the
publicity was in the city Saturday and
says that IN his 60 acres no will clean
up gross sum of $1,000 He has cut
his alfalfa three and some of it four
times this year and harvested about
$50 tons of hay. All his alfalfa will
bring him about $3.50 and he has an
other crop coming on and will have be-
sides all the good pasturage hsneeds.
He has % head of stock.
This rancher has about $50 chickens
and says that his receipts from this
source and what butter they sell has
paid the grocery bill SO that he feels
that there is never any danger of the
proverbial wolf as long as the hens
hold out regardless of what the alfalfa
does. But that crop can always be
depended upon for big profit the year
round.
George Graf near the fairgrounds
adds his experience and says that he
cleared up $500 on half acre of straw
berries in three months which is not a
small income for a bit of soil well
tended He has other sources of prof
ii but none equal for the size of the
plot planted, the record of the straw
berry patch, as far as his experience
goes.

DID NOT WANT CROWNS.

Neither King Carol of Roumania nor
his queen. known in the world of liter
allure as Carmen Sylvia, had any desire
for regal honors. and when the as
sassination of Car Alexander in 1881
forced them on Roumania's unhappy
throne they went protestingly. Carol
finally consented to be king. but de-
clared he would never sit upon n
throne nor wear a crown.
The chamber and senate at Bucha-
rest insisted. declaring the people
wanted and had a right to expect these
symbols of royalty. Carol protested
that a coronation ceremony would
make himself and his wife ridiculous.
like actors in a play" but was forced
to yield and get himself n crown.
But no headgear of silks of precious
stones for him. He sent to the arsenal
for one of the cannon captured from
the Turks. ordered that it be melted
down and from its steel crown be
made. Gin remembrance of the brave
Roumanian blood shed for liberty"
And with this he was crowned.

The football season for 1907 has not

tice of a small Massachusetts college

seconds. The new rules are confident

Of serious accidents, but football au-
thorities insist that the game itself
should not be blamed for many of the
accidents that occur in games between
the small colleges and high schools.
1T is n fact" said DIR. Lambeth. ath-
letic director at the University of
Virginia, that the majority of serious
accidents occur in the ranks % the
small colleges. This is easily explain
ed on the ground that they permit
players to go on the field in poor ply
steal condition. and very often mem
bers of two contesting teams are ply
sically incapable Of PLAYING ca"N 9TH

natural consequence"

The pines had festive tapers hung.
And somber hemlocks. overflung
With knots of pale. delicious green.

And Wintergreen hid coral CLEANS

And followed still. by pasture fence,
The herd, with looks of confidence

Sweet vernal grass by CRANKY Road,
Mid shrOuding pines an orchard gray
Heeds nevermore the call of May;

Are tumbled stones. a hearth. well.

That rest afar from CRANKY Road.

THE RETURNED PARTNER
OF THE BROKEN CONCERN
L. J. Overlook Comes to Bisbee From
an Extensive European Trip.

After two weeks of waiting and eX-
pectation on the part Of the public
of Bisbee. says the Bisbee Review, l.
J. Overlook, member Of the defunct
firm of Duey & Overlook, arrived in
the city last evening from the east,
accompanied by his brother. Charles
\. Overlook, of Douglas, who met him
at the Smelter City. on account Of
the shOrtncss of time in which to
grasp the situation Overlook would
not make any definite statement in
regard to the firms affairs last even
ing.
As soon as he left the depot Over
lock went to the offices of the COM
pany where he was in conference for
several hours, no one but Assignee
f. r. Harrington and several friends
being present. After leaving the Of
flee late in the evening Overlook went
to his rooms n the Copper Queen
hotel.
When seen by a representative of
the Review in his rooms and asked
for statement. Overlook said:
IF it were only possible for me to
issue a statement to the public of
Bisbee in regard to this entire mat
ter at the present time / would be
extremely happy. / am n stakeholder
in the company, and regret exceed
ingly that | was not on the ground
nj the time the assignment was made
AZ soon as / left the depot l went di-
rectly to the offices and saw that the
assignee and his assistants We're do
ing their utmost to get off a state
ment OF the firms affairs. Until this
task is completed I am entirely at sea
more so. as I have been completely
out of touch with affairs for a cou-
pie of months, while spending my va
cation in Europe.
THE only statement that I can pos
sibly make at the present time is,
that as soon as / receive a statement
of the affairs of the firm, which will
probably be within the next couple of
days. I will be ready to talk. There
is no one who deplores this unfor-
tIlHate matter more than | do, and no
one more anxious to find out exactly
what the condition of affairs is"
Ever since the announcement of the
failure the sentiment has been gener-
al throughout the city that IL would
never have occurred if Overlook were
on the ground, and his return from
Europe has been looked forward to
with great anxiety. There is no doubt
that within the next few days at most,
the assignee and his assistants will
be able to take off a statement. and
at that time Overlook will be ready
to talk.

INTERVIEWS AT DENVER.
Opinions Expressed ON Testimony OF
Self-Confessed Murderer

DENVER, Col, June 7.-Following the
testimony of Marry Orchard, the principal
witness in the Haywood trial, interviews
with several persons referred to are printed
in local papers today Supreme Justice W.
H. Gabbert, who Orchard says was the in
tended victim Of a bomb laid in vacant
lot through which the judge was IN the
habit of travelling to and from the capltol
building, says that Orchards testimony fts
In with the incidents connected with the
killing of Wally by the bomb Intended for
him quite exactly.
Mrs. James II. Peabody, wife of the for
mer governor. recalls distinctly the night
when two men followed her carriage
Orchard told of following the governor s
carriage on certain night for the pur-
pose of killing him. but they discovered that
Gov. Peabody was not an occupant and
gave 1t up.
Jacob Wolfe through whom Orchard said
he communicated with Pettlbone' vehe-
menty denied that he had ever acted as
an Intermediary in handling mail from
Orchard to Pettibone.
Max Malch. a prominent politician ana
labor union man of Globevlle. says that
Orchard told him he would kill Gov Steu-
nenberg because the latter had prevented
him from becoming a millionaire. Orchard
reasoned according to Malch, that Steu-
nenbergS request for troops during the
Couer d Alene strike compelled him to leave
the country and to dispose of his interest IN
the Hercules mine. The purchasers sub
sequently became milionaireS and Orchard
was the loser. Malch declared that he
never had anything to do with Orchard s
plots. which refutes statement credited
to Orchard by a special dispatch from
Boise to the effect that Malich supplied
powder for the making Of several bombs.

who killed her husband. and her conVersa-
ton would indicate that she has forgiven
him AS to Meyer. Haywood and Petit
bone, she expressed no opinion. saying she
had not thought of their connection with
the case. She is leading secluded life
spending most of her time reading the BIZ
Bile and other religious works. Her eye

read something that will do her good rather
than the reports Of the trial. which. she
says, tend to excite rather than satisfy.
