Baby at Tucson Attacked by Tame Bear

One of the most horrible sights
ever seen in Tucson took place last
Sunday afternoon when a pet bear
got out of its cage and wandering
down the street entered saloon.
While the bear was on its way Mr.
and Mrs. p. Lair and their little
daughter were chased into the saloon,
where before they could prevent it
the bear seized the baby and after
pressing it to his breast, opened his
huge jaws and Crushed the baby S
skull. a couple of men rushed to the
rescue and shot the bear but it was
too late. as the baby had been fatally
injured and died a few hours after

the score:

After the shoot the Shannon boys
were entertained in a modest manner
nd all went home satisfied with the
days sport. The result of this shoot
makes the two teams even and an
other shoot will be arranged in the
near future to settle the difference.
The Shannon boys were also well
Pleased with the arrangement of the
traps of the Clifton team and will in
the near future add three new traps
to the two which they already have.
All members of the Clifton club
who desire to get practice are invited
to appear on the ground next Sunday
afternoon at , o'clock and take part
in squad shooting. 1t has been
unanimously decided that those with
the highest average are to represent
the Clifton team in match shoots
with outside teams.
Now that the organiZa. ion has been
perfected it might be good idea for
the two local clubs to throw together
and challenge MOrenci, provided, of
course the locals want to combine
against outsiders.

Clifton Gun Club Defeats Shannon.

On last Sunday afternoon there
was an interesting shoot pulled off at
the Clifton traps between the Clifton
and Shannon teams, the tiual result
of which was a victory for the former
by a margin of three birds. The
contest started promptly at O'Clock
and for the first few rounds it seemed
as though Shannon was going to take
another victory home with them, but
the tide changed and the Shannon
boys lost their eye, while Clifton
picked up little. The latter part
of the shout was exceedingly close.
there being but three points differ
ence in fifty shots. The following is

AmargOSa Makes a Big Strike.

Ell Lafave, who spent the past two
or three months on the property of
the Amargosa company in Mexico,
hattering reports. He has been
experimenting the development work
on the big copper property and re-
ports thu [ in the face of the tunnel,
which is now IN about 100 feet, a -
foot body of ore was struck. Is in
ches of this ore will average better
than 800 to the ton in copper. gold
aud silver, values being principally
in copper, The driving of this TUNE
gains foot for foot in depth, hence
there is now 100 feet of STOPPING
ground developed. This strike, which
has been examined by several of the
parties thoroughly acquainted with
the formation and lay of that proc
ty, has been decided to be nothing
more than surprise, or drop in, and
the main ore body. which is now of d
distance of about 20 feet, lies in front
of them. Surface indications show
that the big vein, consisting of six
feet of 40 per cent ore, dips toward
the mountain at slight angle. The
main wall is not in evidence. hence it
will require a considerable amount of
work to get there. The original pro-
moters of the company, who are all
substantial people of Clifton, have ex-
pended d considerable amount of
money in perfecting title and doing
development work. They have al
ready sold small block of treasury
stock a - cents per share and now
have 10000 shares to offer at this
price. Those who have seen the
property are OF the opinion that it Is
one of the biggest propositions in the
country. if surface indications speak
for anything. 1t is the desire of the
company to push this tunnel 20 feet
further as soon Dis possible.

The Phoenix Gazette and a few more papers whose editors were on the off side in the recent terri torcial convention. still feel the sting of the slap they recleved on the wrist while reaching for things. It may be that they must talk to save their pride at home; the regu- lars having won. naturally do not have much to say.
 Governor Kibby has many warm admirers in the territory and the number would have been doubled if he had made good when the op- portunity arose for him to bow to the will of the majority that is what our government is founded upon.
 That the regular convention had l32 members present and voting after the bolt cannot be denied. nor can it be denied that F at least of the oolters were personal appointees of the Governors. or officials recommended by him. Twenty five members of the Pima delegation have made affidavit that they were bound by the unit rule two say they were not. To control it was necessary for the Kibbey faction to split the Pima delega- tion, it failed to split and that faction lost. No ruling of Chair man Herring could have defeated or won the day for either side-i it was up to Pima and they settled it among themselves as did other del egations.

The ruling of the postoffice de- partment to the effect that publish CTS cannot send their weekly publi- cations to q subscriber for over one year without payment, is rather a lopsided sort of an affair, calculat- ed to make trouble for the country publisher especially. In aiming at a lot of fake publications issued solely for the purpose of advertis- ing. they have inflicted an injury on the country editor. It would not be a difficult matter to weed out these illigitimate circulars from legitimate publications if the law had been given careful study before passage. Our only hope now is that some bright fellow does not secure the passage of a bill compelling the grocer and pro- vision men to collect once year.
 As it stands it is up to the editor to cut off all subscriptions over a year in arrears or pay cent post age on each paper.

There seems to be some differ ence of opinion as to whether there should be five or seven council men elected at the coming town election. The notice issued by the Council calls for seven men on the basis of population of 1900. While, undoubtedly, there is over 1900 people in the city limits, there is no official census to go by except that of 1900, Which gave it as 1900. So there you are. Difficulties could probably be avoided if an opinion could be secured of the Attorney-General, since it must be settled before the Councilmen elected could take their seats ann transact the city's business.

PROPOSED COUNCILMEN
Few Avowed Candidates but Many
 Names are Mentioned

As the date of election draws nigh more interest is being taken by the people in general as to who shall represent them on the Coun- Gil. As matter of fact, so far as the Sun can learn, there is no feel ing in the matter except a desire to put men in office that will take care of the city's interests in a bushes like way, favoring no special interests and fighting none.
 The last list of names, and a list that seemed to be generally favored, is as follows: Chas. A.. Keller, George Rabbit, M. l.. Powers, David Tate, Frank Rod rigues, Allen Doyle, George Coffin.
 There were many other names mentioned for the honor, some who might run and a number who re- fused to be considered in that con nection.
 The friendly spirit evinced by all hands makes it look as though the election so far as the council was concerned like a lovefeast. "If you don't like the names on this ticket. suggest some names yourself, but let's get together on a good ticket seems to be the general idea.
 Time is getting short to file tick cts so everyone should holler now while they have a chance.
