 The committee in charge of the Douglas end of the excursion is highly elated over the prospects of an i'm mense crowd from Douglas.

 ~ "Barbecuer" Leaves.
 Yesterday evening H. w. Moore, who will have charge of cooking the meat, left for Lewis Springs. He was accompanied by W. s. Davis of Pirtle- vile. Both are experts. 4 half dozen men were taken along to dig pits and handle the meat during the roasting process.
 To cook the meat for the Lewis Springs barbecue will require a pit more than 100 feet long: 1t will be
 
 Across these pits iron bars will be placed and on these bars a heavy wire netting will be spread on which the whole quarters of meat will be placed and turned and pasted with sauces un- til it is done. It will require about three or four hours.
 All the men required for the prepa- ration of the barbecue at Lewis were employed in Douglas.

OLD CONSULAR
 RECORDS BEING
 FILED BY ELIAS
Contain Full History of Thirty Years Ago in Southern Ari- zona-May Form Basis for Interesting Book.

TUCSON, Aug. 29.-out at the Mex, yesterday Consul Elias was en- gagged in a very interesting occupation and one which may eventually prove of great value to the historical recoru of the southern part of the territory of Arizona. The consul, in other words, has gotten out all the files 0. the office as far back as the date of its founding and was engaged in cata- loging and filing them.
 The first consulate in this city was opened in the year 1876 and, such has been the carefulness displayed, that he has the entire correspondence and records of the consulate down to the present date. Hundreds of those val uable papers are stained with age but all are in good condition. It Will be the work of a fortnight to sort and index them properly.
 The contents, he says are yeIs interesting. TheE deal with all the oldtime Indian troubles, filibustering, hold ups, immigration and ether events and form practically a com plete history of those days. A cou- pie of years ago MT. Elias started to write g. monograph of the early his tory of the international and consu- lar work done in the Old Pueblo and still has the first 50 pages of the work in manuscript. He stated yesterday that it is possible some time ii the next year, with the aid of these oIL records, ne will start upon the prep aration of Q work which will be pure ly a historical compilation of the hap penings in the early years of the Old Pueblo. Such a work could be writ ten from no other data as advanta- geously as from the files of the con sular papers.

He stated that there was no doubt about the man he had spotted being the one wanted. Sheriff White, however, was not to be caught sending $500 until he was satisfied that the party was the one he wanted, so Deputy Me Donald, who was acquainted wish the parted wanted, was sent down to in- yestigate Upon arrival there he soon discovered that the constable did not have the right man spotted and as 8 consequence, Porter came home empty handed and the sheriff's office is out

The hail stones came with such force that they killed number of young chickens and turkeys. while acres of corn were leveled to the ground. The water ran into some of the fields to depth of three feet. The storm was the worst that has occurred in that section for over twenty years accord ing to the settlers in that locality.

East Side Company in Stalled and
Big Elevator Is Threatened
With Destruction.

Up to the present time no attempt
has been made to repair the bridge over
the Calumet river at One Hundreth and
Sixth street and the people who work
in South Deering and live on the East
Side have to go over the Ninety fifth
street bridge of which is almost two
miles out of their way
The bridge has been out of commits
sion for over week, and the East Side
fire department and police patrol have
to travel over the Ninety fifth street
structure to get to South Chicago Last
Saturday fire originated in the boiler
room of the Irondale elevator, One
Hundred and Sixth street and the Cal
umet river and the East Side fire de-
partment was called out to extinguish
the flames. They started to go across
the One Hundred and Sixth street
bridge but found 1t turned, out of com
mission, they at once turned around and
made for the Ninety fifth street bridge,
by that time the fire had gained a good
Roadway and the South Chicago depart
ment had to be called out
They extinguished the flames before
the East Side department could get to
the rescue.
East Side Cut on.
If the South Chicago department had
not been called out the entire elevator,
the largest in South Chicago, would
have undoubtedly gone up in smoke.
Street cars have not crossed the struc-
ture in a month because of the dilap
itated condition of the bridge.
The bridge was turned to let huge
grain boat pass when it was put out
of commission. Last year the Gill
christ, a large grain boat, hit this
bridge setting 1t over on one side and
tearing a large sized hole in the hold
OF the boat, leaving many bushels OF
wheat into the river.
Residents in Irondale and East Side
are up in arms against the condition
that exist at the present time and won
der how long they are to wait for its
repair.

the stolen jewelry was restored. Then
the nearest country police station was
telephoned to and Raf1es was re-
moved Then the mother awoke and
said she had had n good nights sleep
and felt well enough to come down to
breakfast. and she didn't faint away
when told of the doings of the night
Then. as sort of closing chapter to
the events, brother Will beckoned his
sister to follow him out into the shrub
berry, and when they were hidden from
sight of the house he turned on her
and said:
isis, you are a brick-a regular
brick"
'Yesg' she smiled.
"And Frank is a brick-a regular
brick"
"Yes?"
"And by the great horn spoon, IL
you two bricks don't fall in love with
each other and give him to me for a
brother-in-law I'll-I'n"-
And then Betty blushed and laughed
and ran away.

HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
South Chicago Youth Falls
Under Car While Try
ing to Board It.

People on the street in the neigh
borhood of Ninety-second street and
Houston avenue turned their faces
away in horror last night when they
saw young man who was trying to
board a South Chicago car, fall on
the track in front of the rapidly moving
car.
The young man was Edward Hoefer,
246 East Sixty-fourth street. Hoefer
attempted to board a westbound car
on Ninety street before it
reached it's stopping place at the cor
ner He caught hold of the front end
of the car and, missing his hold, fell
to the tracks below. Luckily, he
caught hold of the fender and, pushing
himself from under the wheels of the
car he saved himself from instant
death. The wheels of the car grazed
Hoffman's side, inflicting deep cuts and
bruises and his coat was torn to shreds.
He was picked up unconscious and
bleeding from the tracks and DR..
Wughtsman of 1929 Commercial ave
nue. was called and he attended Hoef-
er's injuries. He was later taken to
his home after he had sufficiently re-
covered.

Stimulants Used by Men of Genius.
Socrates, Plato and Horance drank
wine freely; Fielding, Sterne and
Steel sat too long over their cups,
and Byron sought inspiration in Hol-
land gin. Burns was a tippler, Shell
ley drank heavily and Keats, stung by
the criticism of his foes, turned for
relief to dissipation. Our own great.
est poet, Edgar Allan Poe, though
greatly maligned in this regard, found
inspiration for some of his gloomiest
and widest poetry and prose when
under the influence of burgundy
Voltaire in his old age drank fifty
cups of coffee a day, and Balzac de-
pended upon the beverage to sustain
him during his hours of toll. Johnson
was excessively fond of tea Hazlett,
the writer and critic, consumed of tea
about pound a week. 1t is said to
have fastened his death.

Asked To Be On Lookout.

The police of South Chicago have
been asked to be on the lookout for
four Green Bay (Wis.) clippers, who are
supposed to be headed for Chicago. A
telegram was receivesI in Chicago that
Miss Lillian Osmund. Is years old, and
Miss Lillian De Quine, 16 years old, the
daughters of wealthy farmers living
in that town, had run away. The tele-
gram did not state who the young men
were but it is known that they had
been paying attention to the two girls
for some time.
