Louis Williams was , one ot the most popular of men and was most democratic in his ways. Ev- ! cry citizen of Bisbee, however humble, ! felt perfectly free to approach him on ! any subject whether of business or personal favor and he was familiarly called Don Luis" by tn entire public. | The little station of Don Luis on the railroad just below Bisbee was named in his honor.
