THE SOUTHWESTERN REALTY COMPANY AT WARREN .
SHOTS ARE FIRED
 IN SALOON ROW Badly Mixed Affair In Which Bartender Uses Gun
 Without Damage,

Sam Geoconovich, bartender at the Carretto saloon on O. K. street took a shot at the fleeing figure of a white man as he disappeared in the dark ness after a fight at the saloon had resulted in two broken front windows about II o'clock last night.
 Geoconovich claims that the white man boldly grabbed about S35 frUE- the bar that was being paid him by some parties whose names he could not recall. After getting away it is also alleged that the bold robber re- turned and bOmbarded. the front of the saloon with stones. It was then that the bartender got busy with his arsenal and fired shot at the fleeing man as he disappeared in the dark ness, leaving his hat.
 Deputy Sheriff White was soon on the scene, but could get so little, re- liable information that he was unable to locate the alleged hold up artist, who mad been a constant visitor of the saloon for several months, but was so little known at the crucial time thar his name was forgotten.
 After the bombardment the saloon presented a dilapidated appearance. Broken glass was scattered over the bar and ficor and the scattred poker chips presented g. clne that might not be far from the true cause of the TOW.

BOYS TAKEN FOR REPEATING DEFENSE
Same Lads Who Used Stolen Rig Lately Caught With

He s"<. Ognized them at once being the lads who were arrested about ten days ago for taking a horse, harness and single buggy not belonging to them.
 The lads had apparently taken the horse from one party and the harness from another, as the harness did not fit the horse. It was not learned where the buggy was secured. Deputy White drove the outfit into the o. K. stable. where it can be found by the owner.
 Ike lads were placed in the city jail. They gave no information as 10 their purpose, or where they we1 e headed. They did not seem to be very much upset when they were ap- prehended and promptly accompanied the officer to the city bastile. f' would seem that they have a mania for this business.

He was unable to describe his assailants, as the attack had come in the dark and did not state whether he had reported the matter to the authorities. He was badly scared, upper lip torn loose, nose mashed flat and a long cut on his forehead. and had evidently been very badly used
 This is the third hold-up reported last week, the other two being in the heart of town. The police have been very active in trying to apprehend the sold-up men. but have found no easy task, as they have never received any adequate description of the culprits All suspicious characters brought in to the justice courts have been given sentences at hard labor, and it IS hoped in this manner to make Blshet such a poor place for the vagrani class that they will give 1t wide berth

 COPPER QUEEN
Infinite, Variety Presented To View In the Height of the Window DreSser'S Art Santa Claus Popular.

Bisbee is beginning to take on a holiday appearance and the eager crowd of shoppers which increases daily warns the tardy ones that the time for buying Christmas gifts grows shorter every day. The Copper Queen store windows display gifts that ap- peal to all.
 The long line of show-windows that stretch across the front of the store contain almost everything imaginable in the line of Christmas presents from gifts. the cost Of which runs up into the hundreds, to presents in reach of all.
 Every window contains some spe- cial class of goods and their careful arrangement and the high quality of the articles displayed present an allur- ] ing sight to the prospective purchaser. Windows devoted to articles dear to the feminine mind and those which appeal to the sterner sex stand side | by side, and the Christmas shopper no matter how large or how small a sum they may intend to devote to tgffts, can find somewhere in the va ried array, an article to please them. Smoking jackets, pipes, travelling bags and sets of toilet articles for the traveller have an entire window de voted to them, while next in line mems apparel from evening dress to fancy waist-coats fills the display space. 4 window each for ties and hose and one for the finest examples Of dainty cut glass and hand-painted china, and the woman's territory be- [ gins with the jewelry window where necklaces, bracelets and exquisite pins for feminity vie with jeweled watches and articles of adornment for , their husbands and brothers.
 l Toilet sets of the most exquisite workmanship, ebony and silver, dainty ! lace handkerchiefs, leather goods, 1 hand-painted and burned in tasteful ! designs for pillows and table covers, | cut glass articles for the dressing table, in short everything that woman loves, take up one of the largest of [ the display windows.
 But the most attractive of them all and the one that attracts the largest crowds is the children's window where in front of 8 snow covered house with a chimney large enough for the most eorpulent Santa, Teddy bear. almost life size, seated in an au, tomepile that Is guaranteed "one boy power" presides over a bewilderine collection of toys. All day long the space before this window is filled with a crowd of admiring children who eagerly pick and choose the gifts that tlscy desire old Santa to leave in their stockings. Toy automobiles, fire en zines. trolley cars, boats, guns. games tin soldiers, carpenter sets and other things that appeal to the masculine nature draw the boys attention. while that of the girls is riveted by the
 many different dolls, the tiny furni
 ture, toy stoves that actually cool
 and everything that suggests tho
 softer side of life. All day this win

Dr. Gonzales, of the Sylvanite Gold Development company, returned from a recent trip to Sylvanite with good news of the New Mexico camps prog ress. He says that a class of con serVatfye experienced mining men are investing there and working in a busi- nesslike manner that eyinces their trust in the zone's worth and presages rapid development of the Eureka dis trict's resources.
 The property in which Dr. Gonbales is interested, comprising the HandcaT and Skyscraper claims, had been cut 15 feet by tunnel when he left, and the face of the tunnel showed a breadth of ledge matter 14 feet from wall to wall In the face was a pay streak five feet in width. He brought samples of the latter to Bisbee to be asssyed by Smith and Laird. The re turns show gold values of s32.S0, being assayed for that metal alone. His company is now working three shifts, and are driving the tunnel to tap the ledge opened by a cut one hundred feet higher on the mountain. The ore encountered is at a depth from the surface of fifty feet. This exposure of the ledge so much nearer to the mouth of the tunnel than was expect ed has encoura sed them greatly, and is another prcof Of the richness o. the district. ie Syivaaite Gold De velopment com any is practically a close corporate ., having taus far dis posed os but a small portion of its stock.
