He noticed that Harberts look was
uncompromisingly antag0nistic. but
that was to be expected. 1t troubled
him. however, to see something like
unfriendliness In Rigby's greeting.
Harbert was the man who had
fought him to rout in New York. This
keen. aggressive young barrister had
driven him into q corner from which
he escaped only by merest chance. He
knew James Bansemer sf0r what he
was. 1t had not been his fault that the

ishment that had seemed 80 certain.
He had waged war bitterly against
the blackmailer, and he missed COM
plete victory by a hairs breadth.
Feeling the strain Of the situation,
Rigby talked with earnest volubllity.
He led the conversation into many
lines-the war in the Philippines. the
banquet. the play which Jane and
Graydon were seeing. The thought of
the play brought . shade Of despair to
his brow-pretty Miss Clegg was In
the party with that "mucker." Med
ford.
James Bansemer had been cold with
speculation every instant Of the time;
had felt that Harbergs condemning
gaze had never left him. Apparently
listening to the others. he found him
self wondering what Harhert's trip to
Chicago signifed. Gradually 1t dawn
ed upon him that his old time foe was
not through with his lighting. The
look In Rigby's eyes meant something,
after all, and Rigby was Graydon's
best friend! Harbert was in Chicago
to act--and to act first! This thought
shot into the mans brain like burning
metal. 1t set every nerve afire. His
Nemesis had already begun his work.
Before he left the Gable home that
night he would be asking his host and
hostess what they knew of one James
Bansemer's past.
As Bansemer arose to say good night
to the others Harberts eyes met his
with deadly directness.
"Where are your offices, Mr.. Banse-
mer?" asked the New Yorker. There
was something significant In the ques.
ton.
"Mr Rigby and have Offices in the
same building" he replied. "Will you
come in and see me?'
II shall try" said the other.
To have saved his life Bansemer
could not meet David Cables question

 This piece is comic sensation which attracted much public atten- ton when first staged in New York last season, and again this season during it's long run at the New York Theatre. It was highly praised wherever seen last season and is now making it's third tour with the entire original organization with but one exception, Miss Jeanne Yowler, now playing the role of Mrs. Nickleback- CT.
 Mcintyre and Heath are generally acknowledged to be the two most legitimately humorous men on the stage in the delineation of Southern negro types. In The Ham rree' they have a vehicle of exceptional merit which not only gives them. but every player in it, opportunities 60 display his or her ability. It was written by George V. Hobart, who

constructed it around Mcintyre and Heath's old vaudeville sketch 'The Georgia Minstrels" William Je- rome and Jean Schwartz provided the lyrics and music.
 ~The Ham Tree" is staged in three acts and Tour scenes, representing . hotel neal Marion, N C., water tank on a railroad in Delaware, a woods near the tank and the drawing room of a Fifth Avenue mansion. The humorous adventures Of Alex ander Hambletonian and Henry Jones, the stranded Georgia m>s- strels, and the formers sweetheart, Desdemona, played by Belle Grid. three colored comic ch7fac5ors, are interwoven into a very pretty little love story which involves a million aire, his wife and daughte-, young society maa, an English nobleman and a tramp who is a wonderful jug gler. These parts are played by Al fred Fisher, Jeanne Fowler, Carolyn Gordon. Throughout the action of the piece interesting and catcay musical features are introduced by Mcintyre and Heath, the principals of their support and great chorus, ad- mitted by everyone to have no equal.

OBSERVATIONS
 ON SITUATION
 IN OLD PUEBLO
Staff Correspondent Reviews Business and Political Sit uation of Central Part of Territory.

TUCSON, March 24.-Tucson, like the balance of the country, has suf- fered from the season of financial and industrial depression. A year ago there were a numbr of active mining camps tributary to Tucson which to- day are practically idle. However, some of the important ones have kep; going and are still at work The principal mining camp in this coun- ty is Imperial, where the Imperial company is working full force and have been producing copper steadily for more than two months. The mine depended upon for ore to keep the Sasco smelter in operation is the Old Boot, though the company has other properties in the district which are increasing thetr ore yield to the sat isfaction of the owners. Four hund- red tons of ore daily is being smelted at the Sasco smelter. This ore was formerly smelted at Douglas.
 Other important camps in this co1n- ty where work is proceeding despite the low price of copper are the Twin Buttes and the Helyetia. The Helve- tia is regarded as a good copper prop erty and a large amount of money has been expended in development. A smelting plant has ben in opration the greater part of the time for more than thre years.
 Tucson Feels Pinch.
 Tucson business men report that the slump in the price Of copper has been the means of curtailing trade in this city, which draws largely from every mining district in southern Ari- zona and Sonora The curtailment of operation at Cananea hurt Tucson as it did Bisbee and Douglas At Cana nea there were many former resi- dents of Tucson employed in the var ious departments of the big company and they were frequently dropping back to their old home for the pur- pos of visiting friends and relatives and buying supplies. But it is notice- able that the growth of Tucson has not been stopped and the people here are as confident as ever for the fu- ture of the city.
 The Heidel hotel recently complet- ed represents an investment of s41,- 900; new opera house has been planned for the near future, and there is talk of still another hotel--which it is claimed is to be the equal Of the Gadsden in Douglas. Another proEl- inent building just completed in Tue son is the Old Pueblo club and this is certainly a credit to the city, cost ing about s60,000. Residence build ings/ are going up in many parts Of the city and the trees and lawns are now taking on their spring appear ance. Speaking of trees and lawns, Tucson has gone the limit in provld- ing them for the identification of the city.
 Political Obsrvation-.
 There is not doubt of the repub- licans of Pima county sending a dele gation to the territorial convention which will oppose any instruction for the delegation to be sent from Ari- zona to Chicago. I talked to one of the republican leaders last night and he said there is practically no one in favor of the contentious for instruc tions being made by Governor Kip

BOYD NOT GUILTY.
Negro Accused OF a Brutal Murder 10
ErAeM.

Freed.
Birmingham. Feb. 5.-(Special.)-
After being out all night the jury in
the case of william Boyd, the negro
charged with the murder of Charles
MantilIo, an italian, on a lonely road
between owenton and Tuxedo Park
about two years ago, returned a Ver-
dict of not guilty this Inorning.
AS soon as the verdict was read As
sistant Solicitor j. B. Arid announced
that he would mol PROSE- the case
against George Lindsey, alias Sadler,
who was arrested in connection with
the same murder. Mr.. Arid said he
tried the worst case first and that he
did not see how Lindsey could be con-
victed if jary Of twelve men thought
Boyd innocent.
The trial of Boyd was taken up
Monday before Judge C.. c. Nesmith
and 1t occupied nearly all day Tues
day. The jury was charged late in
the afternoon and when 1t was seen
that a verdict would not be reached
the twelve men were placed in the
hands of bailiff for the night. Short
ly after court convened Wednesday
morning the twelve men filed into the
court room and rendered their verdict.
Shortly after Boyd left the court room
a free man. the jails doors were again
opened and Lindsey enjoyed the free
dom of the air for the first time in
about two years.
Charles Mantillc was driving along
the road leading from Ensley to Bir-
mingham about two years ago when
some one murdered him. Suspicion led
to the arrest of the two negroes who
have been in Jail ever since. At the
trial of Boyd it seems the State could
not produce a man who saw the deed
committed and the twelve men sitting
on the case did not think The evidence
strong enough to convict Boyd.

OF the st. Louis and San Francisco
Railway. The specific charge Is that
Williams, who is brak eman on the
road running between Memphis and
Birmingham, asked for an employees
pass which he afterwards gave or sold
to Pounds.
According to the statement of
Pounds he had relative seriously Ill
at Memphis early in January and did
not have the money with which to
buy a roundtrip ticket to Memphis.
He mentioned the fact to Williams who
suggested that he could get him a
railroad pass for IS. He stated that
he handed over the money and rode
to Memphis, and on his return trip
presented the pass again to the con-
ductor, who remarked this is no
good" He then handed the conductor
the fare, he said.
williams denied selling the pass TO
Pounds, claiming that he gave 1t to
him.
A preliminary hearing was had be-
| fore United States Commissioner R.
B. Watts. before whom the warrants
| were Asworn out. The case was pros
ecuted by Assistant District Attorney
Joseph H. Montgomery.
The penalty for the violation of the

| 800 nor more than $4,000. The law
holds the railroad guilty of issuing a
! pass to other than certain specified
I persons, including employees of the

a pass not properly secured is liable
/ to the same penalty.
Bond in each case will be set al

resources OF their respective states, and
