rest at Jerome.
Parker got away and was followed
into Utah. There he went into an
Indian reservation agency almost
famished and asked for something to

OPIUM DEN
FOUND IN
NEGRO 'DOBE
Negro Men and White Women,
Stupefied BY the Fumes of
Opium, Found Lying Side
BY Side.

A pathetic letter addressed to City
Marshal John A Stevens led to the
discovery Of a bed of vice in this city
which will be shock to the respect
able class, TO whom such things are
vague and indefinite. Reference is
made TO an opium den of the vilest
type, in which men, white and black,
and women, mingled all stupeied with
the fumes Of the deadly drug, opium.
The letter read as follows:
"Bisbee, Ariz., June 2, 1908.
Mr. John A. Stevens,
City Marshal.
Il win try you to see If you will
enforce this letter. II is in regard TO
a negro opium Joint which my son
frequents day and night with women
of the red light district. l have went
after him there several times and he
always comes home sick and broke
and unless it is broke up soon We can't
have money to buy bread. He says he
spends his wages and can't keep from
it, so you do me and my little girl a
favor by breaking it up at once. The
location is up Brewery Gulch on the
left-hand side in the back of the col
ored prostitute house in a building
that's a old hack stand. Under there
is several negro men and three or four
white girls every morning between 3
and 4 o'clock.
"a Mother"
The, city marshal was uncertain
whether the letter could be relied
upon. but instructed two of his men
to make a raid between and o'clock
In the morning on the place designated
in the letter. They did SO, and found
a scene that was revolving, even
though they were used to dealing with
crime. Scattered about the floor of
the miserable 'dobe in which the Joint
was located were negro men and white
women, lost to all sense Of sex or
honor, and supplied by the fumes of
the opium they had inhaled. In the
group were two white men, one OF
them more a yoath than a man.
All of the paraphernalia OF a fully
equipped opium joint were found, to-
gether with large quantity of opium.
The men were placed under arrest,
and taken to jail. The women were
allowed to leave Inasmuch as there
is no law against the use of opium, a
charge of vagrancy will be lodged
against the men. The negro who ran
the joint, and whom the officers are
most desirious of securing, was not
found in the place, but they are CON-
fdent of apprehending him in the
next few days.
The two white men arrested in the
raid Thursday morning were Walter
Dean and Merrill Gilland, the latter
an old offender in the courts OF this
city. One of them was so strDifed
that it was far into the day before he
could be walked ard givenhis break
fast
The pipe which was taken in the
raid is Of unusually good make and
bears the marks of long use. It is OF
bamboo, heavily inlaid with silver and
tipped with ivory. An extra bowl,
made of some heavy earthenware, was
taken, together with the little alcohol
lamp over which the pipe was held
while the fumes were inhaled. An
ordinary drinking glass was filed al
most to the brim with the black,
strong-smeIling opium, which the ne,
gro proprietor sold to the victims OF
the drug.

MISSING GROOM
R. |. COX SEEN
OVERAT BENSON
Deserted Bride of Four Days
at Tucson and Officers Are
Searching for Him-May
Have Crossed Border.

r. L Cox, the young Phoenix mer-
chant who deserted his bride of four
days at Tucson Sunday morning, is
believed TO be in the vicinity of Bis
bee or by this time has crossed the
international border into Mexiso. Cox
was seen and recognized at Benson
on Wednesday. Leaving Tucson he
walked out a distance of ten miles 20
Edmonds, where he took train Tor
Benson. He got off there and was
seen by parties who know him. At
the time, however, they were not
aware of the fact that the officers
We're looking for him and that he had
deserted his wife at Tucson 1t is
thought that Cox later came to Bisbee
or one of the line cities, where ne
crossed into Mexico. The case is in
the hands of Sheriff Pacheco, of Tue
son and il is said he made trip to
Los Angeles early in the week on a
tip that Cox had gone to the coast.
Several months ago R. L. Cox
opened general store about one
mile from Phoenix, on the Tempe
road, and within short time fell in
love with his clerk Eleanor Keser.
On May &c the young people were
married in Phoenix and left at once
going To Tucson, arriving there on
No. Saturday morning.
They went to the Hotel Heidel
and engaged a room. They were ap-
parently very happy during all of
Saturday, and on Sunday morning
left the hotel, going to the Huntsman
garage to engage an automobile with
the intention OF taking a ride 10
points of interest around the city.
Cox entered the garage and his
wife went up a street short dis
lance, returning in about five min
utes. She looked for her husband
but he was gone, and she has not
seen him since. The young wife
finally returned to the hotel and wait
ed all of that day. Receiving 100 word
of her husband she left for her
fathers nome in Phoenix.
The matter was Immediately re-
ported TO the sheriff's office in
Phoenix end Sheriff Hayden notified
Sheriff Pacheco OF the circumstances
surrounding the case.
The father of the dserted bride,
A. r. Kezer, went to Tucson and held
conferences with the local officers
Keser then left, going west; whether
to his home in Phoenix or TO Los
Angeles could not be learned. Sher.
if Pacheco left the city on the same
train
According to telephone advices re
ceived from Phoenix Cox bore the
highest reputation in that community,
and judging from all appearances
was doing very we'll in business. His
friends are at loss to explain his
apparent desertion of his bride. Mrs,
Cox is an attractive girl about IS
years Of age

A TEXAS STEER,
THE ELKS SHOW,
CLEVERLY DONE
Cast More Than Made Good
All Promised, and Better
Than Many Professional
Companies Could Do

The performance OF "A Texas
Steer" at the Orpheum Theatre by
the Elks surpassed their efforts in "A
College Pennant'' given hast Decem-
Der. That production had established
q standard for home talent per,o.S1-
ances in Bisbee That was lard to
equal, but the cast last night, ii can
be said without going wide Of the
truth put on "A Texas Steer" better
than many professional companies
could have done it. The principals
had their lines pat and a stage pres
ence and ease that lena charm to
their acting. If the play was not
booked at Douglas the performance
the Orpheum TO a packed house It
was a most delightful and charming
could be duplicated this evening at
production of the comedy with a re
markable conception of the parts by
q company selected entirely from
home talent.
In the leads DR.. E. s. Godfrey as
Maverick Brander, a PexaS cattle
king, and Mrs. F. A. Suffer as BoSsy,
carried of the honors, though Z. c.
Corey as Capt Farleigh Bright Il. s.
A., T. o. McGrath. as Major Yell, the
lawyer, w. J. Francis, private waiter
at the Arlington. VIM. Cummings, as
Sam Rowe, bell boy at the Arlington.
Mrs. F. c. Hurst as Mrs. BrandeT, tae
cattle kings vile, Mrs. r. A. Kirk as
Mrs. Major Campbell Miss V. J,
Bagby as Dixie Style, an orphan from
Indiana, Miss Theresa Dudley as
Countess de Chrystahne- and Miss
Edith Wetheren as Vivian GoToxeS
were at home and fine in their parts.
Eddie Black was the typical negro
who has been used on election day
and comes to believe that he is pow
er in politics in his original creation
Of Christopher Columbus, Jr., Fish
back, a colored politician. DR.. Corey
may not be from Texas, but he played
the exaggerated character of the
Texas cattle king who has landed in
congress to perfection. MRS. Sstter
got the right touch to her acting with
flashes of talent not often seen in
amateur theatricais. She improved
as the play progressed. In the sec
ond act the scene where Major Yell,
Col. Bragg and Col. Blow, T. o. Nc
Grath, C. w. Boswell and A l.
Townsend, break up a dinner party
brought down the house. It was
realistic and without the crudeness
of the amateur. W. J. Francis as
Othello Moore, waiter at the Airing
ton, can get a place with Al Fields
any day. Miss Bagby also deserves
more than special mention for her
clever acting.
The specialties of Miss Jesse
Walsh, q solo Twas in April and
the dancing of Eddie Black were
warmly appreciated and encoTed.
Douglas has not had an attraction
in long time that will equal "a
Texas Steer to be produced there
this evening, and it will be another
long interval before the Smelter City
will get a comedy that will some up
to the show the ElEs VIII put on.

Preserving the Balance.

A wellknown professor Of architec.
ture, commonly referred to as Ham.
my" by his pupils. recently told
a story illustrative Of the remark.
able degree to which certain persons
possess the sense Of symmetry.
II seems that there was once a
Scotch gardener who had charge of
good sized English estate, and
under whose charge the formal garden
at the rear had been laid out with alb.
solute symmetry, even the two sum.
mer houses, one on each side of the
garden, being Identical in even the
most minute detail. On one occa.
sion the Enslishmsn became angry at
his son locked him up in one OF
the summer houses. As soon a. the
Scotch gardener heard of this his
sense Of symmetry was so outraged
that he Immediately sent for his own
son and locked him up in the other
summer house to preserve the bal
ance. "Hammy" neglected to mention
whether both boys were dressed ex
actly alike, but It is to be presumed
that even this detail was attended to
by the aesthetic Scotchman.
