4TH IF JULY ID BE OBSERVED
 HERE.
Business Men Discuss Matter of Celebration and Steps Will Be Taken to Arrange Appropriate Program.

At a meeting of citizens held in the council chamber of the City Hall last evening the initial step was taken towards the arrangement of program for s Fourth of July celebration, and from this time on it is expected that all of the citizens of the district will evince interest in the subject and help to see that the anniversary of the na- tion's independence is observed in a befitting manner.
 The meeting was called to order by Chairman McNair of the Chamber of Commerce, who stated the object of the meeting. and urged those present to do their utmost towards the ar engagement of an appropriate program.
 At the suggestion of several pres ent, it was decided to appoint a con- mittee or ways and means to take hold of the matter aU once, and come to some definite conclusions as to the celebration, and what form it will take. On this committee the chairman appointed the following gentlemen: W. H. Brophy, c. F. Rinehart, George Roberts. w. A Schwartz, L. c. Shat tuck, Harry Jennings and B. J.. O'Reilly.
 It was then decided that another meeting will be held on Tuesday even- | ing, June II, at which time the con- mittee will report to the citizens what plans they have formulated.
 In order to make the celebration a success a fund will be necessary, and | it is safe to say that the merchants of Bisbee who donated so generously last year towards the celebration in Doug las will again display their patriotism, now that the event is to take place in their home city. The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company has all ready signified its willingness to con- tribute generously to the fund, with out having been asked, and there is not doubt but that the other compa- nies will also contribute to the fund. 1 Late last night it was learned that the gentlemen who were appointed on | the ways and means committee had entered into the spirit of the occasion thoroughly, and arrangements will be made today for a meeting to talk over the various phases of the proposed program, and arrive at some general idea as to the form the celebration will assume. It is almost certain that there will be several drilling contests
 for the miners of the district in which | big prizes will be offered and which will bring out some of the strongest teams ever seen in local celebration | There will also be fire races, in which it is probable teams from Cananea Tombstone and Tucson will be invited to participate.
 Now that the initial step has been l taken. the success of the event de bends greatly on the support given to the movement by the public gener ally. and everyone will agree that this i should be of the most enthusiastic variety.
 On account of the generous support given to the Douglas celebration last 1 year. when more than a thousand peo pie went from the Warren District tC attend, there is no doubt but that the
 people of the Shelter City will this
 year come to Bisbee and lend theil support.

RILEY IS CLEARED
 'OF GRAVE CHARGE
Man Charged with AsSouIt By Mrs. Moore Is Discharged.
 Woman Heavy Drinker,

After very little deliberation yes terday the jury in the case of the Ter ritory vs. J. B. Riley, for an alleged assault on the person of Mrs. J. B. Moore. returned verdict of not guilty.
 Ever since the complaint was filed the general opinion throughout the dis trict has been favorable to the de- fendant. as the actions of the com plaining witness in the past have often been peculiar, when she has been in a state of intoxication.
 According to the story Of the com plaining witness. after she had stop ped Riley and asked him to let her ride to South Bisbee, he made an in- decent proposal when they Teachts a point in the road near Warren, and on her refusal of his request, he threw her from the buggy, causing painful 1 injuries.
 Riley stated his side of the story, which was to the effect that he had never thought of such a thing as say | ing anything improper to the elderly woman. but admitted that she had been hurt while riding in his buggy which tipped over.
 The case went to the jury. and in a few minutes verdict of not guilty was returned.
 Quite number of local people re cite stories of peculiarities on the part of Mrs. Moore after she has i'm bibed freely. and looked upon the fiji ing of the serious charge against Riley as the result of too much liquor.

The following account of the we'd ding of Charles E. Buchner, of this city. and Miss Irene J. Hughes or | I,eayeuworth. Kansas. is taken from the Leavenworth Times of June 6:

MAY REDUCE CHARGE
 AGAINST DEFENDANT
Matter Will Come Up On Mon day When Prisoner Will
 Plead to Complaint.

As as result of the arraignment of A. F. Stone in Justice HOgan's Court yesterday afternoon on a charge of grand larceny, it is possible that the charge against the defendant may be reduced to a misdemeanor. The pre- liminary in the case, although set for yesterday afternoon, was not had, as the defense asked until Monday after noon at ? o'clock to plead to the charge. The defendant was repre- sented by Attorney E. J. lFannigan, E. G. Strickler representing the Dis trict Attorneys office.
 It was thought for a time that when the case came to an issue Rubie Ray mond, the complaining witness, who is an inmate of a house of prostitu- tiOn in the Tenderloin District, and who, it is reported, has supported the defendant for several years past, would not testify against the man but as is usually the case with peo' pie of this character. would forgive him and withdraw the charge.
 When the woman appeared in court yesterday, however, 1t could be plain ly seen that she was determined in the matter, and was there for the purpose or prosecuting stone to tht l fullest extent of the law.
 It was stated yesterday that Stone has been the paramour of the Ray mond girl for several years past, ant | that he was the man who caused hel i downfall in the first place, after h'
 met her in Oakland. California. Stones record in Bisbee has beeI l such that on one occasion the loca i police allowed him Jwenty-four hour
 in which to leave town, giving him tn i alternative of being arrested for va ] gTancy.

FALSE Ai-ERM SENT IN.

About 10:3O last night the fire alarm was sounded, and it was re ported that a blaze had broken out in the establishment of Howard Blunt, cleaner and natter on Naco road. Citizens rushed from every direction to the fire house and securing the ap- paEatus went on a still hunt for the sbiaze. which was not to be found. IL seems that slight blaze did start in the tailoring establishment, but Blunt extinguished it in a few minutes. Some one who was present turned in the alarm.

GREAT FRANCHISE MEETING IS
 HELD
Largest Crowd In History of City Attends Open Air Enter tainnent Given to Arouse Enthusiasm

At no time in the history of the city has such a crowd been brought togeth- CT as there was last evening on the plaza In front Of the library to attend the open air entertainment which the business meu arranged. to arouse in- terest among the people of the city in the proposed street railway franchise, which will be voted on during the present week. It was conservatively estimated that there were fully three thousand people present at the enter tainment.
 The principal numbers on the pro gram were the displaying of stereop- ticon views of the Warren District, and of other places of interest through out the territory, calculated to give those who saw them an intimate knowledge of conditions.
 The views of the Warren District were especially interesting and in structive. Various scenes along the proposed route of the railway from the Warren terminus were shown, as far as the city of Bisbee, and then views of the proposed new road up Tombstone Canyon were displayed. From these illustrations it could easily be seen that various difficulties would have to be overcome, hut when once completed the road will, without doubt, be one of the finest highways in the Territory of Arizona.
 Views of Douglas, and the smelters, of Clifton, Morenci, Globe and other big mining centers were also shown.
 The Bisbee Choral Union under the direction of Professor Krinbill rend' cred several selections during the course of the evening. which were re- ceived with continued applause. One especially appropriate song was an original composition by Professor KrinbilI in regard to the franchise.
 Throughout the entire program the greatest interest was displayed by the large audience. and from all sides there were expressions of approval oi the proposed franchise.
 As near as can be ascertained from the general sentiment of the citizens there is not the slightest doubt that the franchise will be voted Ipon favor ably on Wednesday of this week, when the final decision in the matter will be ! in the hands of the voters of the city

MESA AND ALL STARS
PLAYED A CLAN GAME
The Former Won BY . Score Of , to I,
And the Result vas Satisfactory eli
Round.

There was never a more pleasant or
ball played in the valley than that
yesterday at Mesa between the Mesa
High. school nine and the All Star Of
Phoenix. Though it resulted in the
defeat of the Phoenix boys by q score
of 5 to l. the boys returned last night
feeling good and full of compliments
for the Mesa players upon the treat
ment of them. The game was a sin
gularly clean one. There was at no
time even the semblance of a row o.
misunderstanding.
For individual playing Morte Gra-
ham Of the Phoenix nine led. without
an error. The most spectacular per-
Torrance was that of l.. Quiros. the
Phoenix pitcher. who struck out thir-
teen men and held the Mesa team
down to two hits Williams. for Mesa,
struck out six men and gave three hits
only.
In the second inning Mesa made two
runs on errors. In the fourth they &C
quired the other run i'm a similar man
ner The only run of Phoenix was
acter of the game is shown in the fact
that it was played in the league time
of one hour and thirty-five minutes.
o. s. Stapley was the umpire and his
decisions were always so fair that
they went without questioning.
a tentative arrangement was made
for a return game but no time was
agreed upon. Unless it is played ear
lier it will probably come off at East
lake Park on Washington's birthday.
