I
sold, from the people who in
vested in these cheap goods.
He did not 90 to see all of them
but he saw enough to satisfy
himself as to prices. Then he
went to three firms in this city
who handled groceries and got
their prices on exactly the same
quantities of goods and demand
ed prices on the BEST qualities.
The following is the result of his
Investigations:
There was only one article
sold that the price was lower
than the local merchant would
sell at and that article was
Bakers chocolate which is made
in two or three grades, which
article the traveller who buys no
products, spends none of his
money for anything that we have
to sell, whose home is under his
hat, pays no taxes and is of no
benefit to the community as a
man, sold at the price of SO 1-3
cents per pound while the retail
dealer here sells the best of that
article at 80 cents per pound.
On his canned corn he met the
prices of the local dealers on the
local dealers best grade in dozen
can lots, towit: S1.10 per dozen.
On not another single thing did
this cheap" salesman meet the
local mans price. The traveller
sold 3 pound cans of tomatoes
don't know what quality, in fact
the brands of all his goods are
entirely unknown to any person
in this city so far as we have
heard at the exceedingly low
price of of S1.39 per dozen while
the local man wants just S1.25
per dozen for the very best
brands. He sold gunpowder tea
in pound lots at 80 cents per
pound while the dealer would be
glad to sell you the best grade in
such a lot at 40 to 30 cents per
pound. 20 pound lots of roasted
Mocha and Java coffee were sold
at 81 cents per pound and the
local dealer will sell you the best
quality of the same kind one
pound lots at % cents and will
make you 224 cents per pound
price if you want ten pounds at
once. The rice which he had to
sell was somewhat cracked ION
account of being handled so
much and he got 6! to Z! cents
per pound while your dealer will
sell the full head rice at 16.
pounds for a dollar. His What
Not DR.. Cook" or some other
kind Of baking powder brought
him % cents per pound while
the groceryman will sell you bet
ter at a cent per ounce. He
sold hams for 19c if you took two
at once and the groceryman will
sell you one at 15c to lie per
pound. Breakfast bacon of an
unknown brand brought 24c per
pound and the highest price
quoted by local men was 22c.
The salesman would not sell
you sugar for Il can't save you
any money on that" Every
body knows just what sugar is
worth and he wasn't going to
lose any money while business
was good. Canned California
fruits sell on the local markets
at $500 per dozen while this man
sold his lowest priced goods at
40. When it came to anything
in the spice line he revelled in
the exceedingly low prices
which | am Offering you" He |
got eighty cent per pound for |

a prize-fghter; had whipped Fftzsim- mons at Los Angeles last week. was training for a fight with Corbett; and few other minor details.
 Yesterday morning Constable Denny Twomey got into conversation with Malcom, and inquired concerning his pugilistic ability. The latter confided to the officer that he was the only real successor to Jim Jeffries, but that on account of his high standing in the legal profession he did not care to appear in the ring under his own name. He mentioned incidentally that Paul Burks, solicitor for the San la Fe road was working for him in Prescott. Twomey invited him up to see the interior of the jail, and when Malcom stepped inside, turned the key.
 MaIeom talked rationallyl to a Re view man last evening, stating that what he had been telling had merely been lies. He called Deputy United States Marshal Foster, who happened to be present, as an expert witness, saying that he often heard Foster, years ago, in the mountains entertain the boys around a camp fire with yarns that everyone knew were of the smoky variety.
 The prisoner is not violent, but is thought to be slightly deranged

PATRONS SAY
 ID BUILD SCHOOL
Old Clawson Hill Probable Site, Move to Segregate Negroes
 and Mexicans,

There were only few present at the meeting held at the Central School building last night for the pur- pose of discussing with the school trustees the advisability of adding to the school at Lowell, building a high school and making such other inn provements as seem necessary at this time.
 Dr. c. L. Edmundson acted as chairman and l.. w. Wallace as sec retary. After the board had been instructed to go ahead and make such improvements as it thought necessary the question of site for the propos- ed high school was brought up. It was decided that the old Clawson residence on Clawson Hill was the most desirable place. The board stated that the Copper Queen com pany, which is the owner of the prop erty, had signified its willingness 10 deed 1t to the city for a school site Additional room has also been given by the same company at Lowell.

MALCOM HAS MANY

William Malcom. lawyer, miner, teamster, prizefghter, jurist, etc, is confined in the branch county jail and will probably be taken to Tombstone during the next few days to be ex- amined in regard to his sanity. He was arrested yesterday morning by Constable Twomey, and is now being held.
 Malcom, who has been a resident of the district before, and has been around the territory for years, re turned to Bisbee about ten days ago, and since that time confided to diff ferent people at various times that he was retired lawyer with men working for him at Prescott, and Los Angeles, where he had a lucrative practice. Later he stated that he was

HAD CUT HOLE IN WALL IF
 COUNTY JAIL
Negro Howard Would Have Escaped In Few Minutes Had It Not Been for Prompt Action of Officers.

Great excitement was caused in the city about 5:30 o'clock last evening by a report to the effect that the prisoners in the branch county jail were making an attempt to escape. Investigation proved that the report was founded on fact, as J. H. Howard, a negro, who was sentenced to serve 90 days for petty larceny, had worked out enough bricks in the north wall to allow his body to go through, about the time the alarm was given. None of the prisoners escaped.
 Howard would undoubtedly have made good his escape had it not been for the fact that some one coming down the trail in the rear of the jail noticed one of the bricks in the north wall moving, and communicated the fact to Constable Twomey and Deputy United States Marshal Foster, whG were at that time on the plaza in front of the Copper Queen general of fees. The officers immediately ran to the scene, followed by large crowd Foster climbed to the roof while Twomey went up through the jail to the second corridor.
 When Thomey arrived inside, How ard, who had worked at the wall and had removed alr of the inner bricks as well as several of the outer ones in an area of about two square feet, was lying on top of the steel cages. His clothes showed plainly where he had been working at the masonry, and a large knife was found On his person. He was placed at once in one of the tanks.
 Howard denied that he had ;. zen working on the wall, but after few questions finally admitted it.
 Howard was only sentenced on Friday for 90 days, but when be con. cludes that, he will probably face a charge of attempted jail break.

In a conference Of a dozen societies

In conference OF dozen societies
four weeks ago.
Petitions in conformity with the re-
Quirements OF the local option law
were printed and distributed to 800
volunteer workers Of the association.
Emphasis was placed on the fact that
saloon advocates be asked to hgn the
petitions to procure fair test of pub
lie sentiment on prohibition at q gen
eral election.
Yesterday the offihials OF the COM
mittes made their frst announcement
OF the result OF the twelve days work.
They declared that $4,000 names had
been signed aud that the necessary
So. 900 or rs per cent of the registered
vote. will be procured before next
Monday.
I'VE have gone on without any blare
OF trumpets and have been desirous
OF making no public statement until
after the first meeting OF the workers,
which will DO held In Willard Hall on
next Monday evening. Then we hope
TO say that our lists are completed.
THE expressions OF opinion gather
ed by the workers indicate the sentl-
ment of voters. Men who have had
little interest IN the saloon problem
have been aroused by the defiance Of
the law expressed by the liquor men.
The resentment OF the average citi-
zen has been stirred by their Dictator
ial and illegal methods. The reply
will be recorded at the first cleo
tion."
A part of the letter OF instruction
given TO the collectors Of signatures
reads:
"The purpose OF this canvass Is to
secure signatures to the petition for
an election. and not 70 make converts
to our cause. Do not argue the saloon
question with the prospective signers.
Even II they are saloon sympathizers,
urge them to sign on the ground that
they ought to be fair enough to help
give the people chance to express
themselves on this important PROPOSE
ton"
On the sentiments expressed by the
signers Mr.. Hill bases his belief that
the saloons will be voted out OF exis-
tence In Chicago next April.
