DAY NURSERY IN DOUGLAS.

Owing to the earnest and successful
efforts of the ladies of the philanthropy
ic department of the Douglas Woman s
club, their long cherished scheme for
a day nursery in Douglas has become
a reality and the doors of that insti-

WORKING FOR
DRY FARMING
CONVENTION
Mayor Caven and Buxton Send
kilograms To Salt Lake
Supporting Request of Co.
chiSe Delegates.

In reply to letter from Superyis-
or G. J. McCabe, who is now attend
ing the annual convention of the Dry
Farming Congress at Salt Lake, City,
as a delegate from Cochise county,
several kilograms were sent yester-
day to the president of tn association
assuring him of Arizona's interest in
the work, and asking that the next
convention be held in the. city OF
Douglas.
George Buxton, president of the
Board of Trade, received a letter
from McCabe, in which were set forth
the various advantages to be derived
from the supporting of the dry farm
ing movement and stating that the
writer was working to have the next
convention held in the city of Douglas,
in the hope that it would arouse still
greater interest in the movement. An
other object for which the Gochise
delegation is working, is the establish
ment of an experimental station in
the county,
The matter was Immediately refer
red to Mayor Caven, and in reply the
city's chief executive sent telegram

congress, assuring him of hearty sup
port and strengthening the request
for the next convention. Buxton also
sent a telegram to Fisher in behalf
of the Bisbee Board of Trade.
Not only because of the lack of
water, but because of the great op-
portunities in the mining industry,
agriculture in Cochise county, has
been greatly neglected, although some
OF the most fertile ranches and farms
to be found anywhere are within its
borders. Dry farming is no longer a
theory, but a practical industry, ant
the holding of the convention in the
county, as well as the establishment
of an experimental station, would
greatly stimulate energy in the direc
ton of filling the soil in this section
From an economical standpoint, the
raising of farm products in the coun.
ty in sufficient quantities to supply
a material portion of the local demand
would be a long dreamed of relief
from the toll which the railroads now
get on shipments from California.

CONCH|N SIDE
OF SHOOTING
IS REPORTED
Is contended That He Was
Shot Without Cause-Wife
Says He Was Looking For
Their Son.


Owing to tae fact that John Con-
chin, the man who was shot In the
knee at the Don Luis yards of the
Ell Paso & Southwestern Railroad
Company, was suffering SO greatly
from pain. at the Copper Queen hos
pital on Thursday, the surgeons would
allow no one to see him, hence it was
impossible to obtain his version of the
affair until yesterday. when Mrs.
Conchin was seen by representative
of the Review.
When asked to relate the story of
her husband, and ineidentsl following
the shooting, Mrs. Conchin said: =
MY husband was employed at the
l.. S. G. P. shaft of the Superior &
Pittsburg Company and returned From
his work about $3.50 O'Clock. On en-.
tering the house he found that our
son, Elias, was not in bed, and think
ing that the boy was staying all night
at the cattle pens near the railroad
he went there ito get him and punish
him for disobeying his instructions
The boy is Is years of age, and like
Others, wanted to be around with
cowboys, against his fathers wishes.
Instead of being at the cattle pens sur
son was sitting up with the body of
Allen Acres, VINO died a few days
ago, and was laid out at the home
of his parents.
Not finding his son, Mr. Conchin
started home and may have looked
into an empty box car for the boy but
at any rate was more than thirty feet
from the railroad. when he was hit
in the knee by the first bullet. He
says he heard no command to halt
While he was on the ground he yelled
to the man shooting to quit, but says
three more bullets hit close to him.
AT tiis time Harry Hermann, a
railroader, ran to where my husband
was lying. and recognizing him. came
to the house for my brother to get
his assistance. The two of them then
carried him in. While we were bath
ing the wound Stafford came in and
told me he was awful sorry for the
shooting, but that ne had been ner-
vous sincs the Waterman in Bisbee
had been killed, and CHAT he had
been waiting for the coal thieves and
was convinced that the man he saw
in the dark must have been there to
steal coal.
My husband heard Stafford talking
and sent for him. When he came
into the room Mr. Conchin asked him
why he had shot and if he wasn't
proud Of his work. Replying the
Waterman told him he wouldn't have
had il to happen for the world and
that ne was nervous and could not
keep his hand OFF the trigger when hg
saw a man in the dark, near the place
where he was waiting for the coal
thieves"
Mrs. Conchin stated further that
she istended swearing out warrant
for the arrest of Stafford.
The bullet in Conchin's knee was
located yesterday morning and an
operation performed. It was extract.
ed. but owing to the danger OF blood
poisoning, the patient may lose his
limb.
During the course of the interview
Mrs. Conchin admitted that her hus-
band had been released from the pen
itentiary some time ago, after having
served term for robbery, but con-
tended that he was innocent Of the
crime and was conviced through spite

laying out the links for the new War
rem District Country club.
Mr.. Adams says that the site Sc
lected for the club is to the south
east Of Warren and is the best site
naturally adapted to golf that he has
ever seen. The course as laid ont by
Mr.. Adams, is just over 5000 yards
in length and runs over a beautifully
rolling country. Roads, railroad en-
bankments, Irrigation bitches and a
deep arroyo form splendid natural
hazards on all but two holes so that
in but those two instances viii arti-
fetal hazards have to be built. The
holes run in length from 40 to 500
yards and the links will be especially
sporty" In addition to this con
course there win be, near the cluI
house, the tennis courts and a han
mile track or speedway.-Douglas Dis

\ uCSOn obS1l -
W. C. Wyche, the nurssryman, in
referring to an article in the Star
on fruit and fruit culture and tie
large number of plants being ordered,
stated that the plum was omitted.
The plum is one of the most hearty,
vigorous growers and prolific bearers
in this valley The tree attains the
size of the mulberry and apricot and
seldom or never fails lin its crop.
He states taat he has already e.
derad 5000 fruit trees, among which
are a large number of plum, also
the orange, olive and pomelo, all
of which he has tested and they
make vigorous growth. He has oruers
for thousands of roses and climbing
vines, which indicates the interest
our people are taking in beautifying
their homes.
Any one wishing to see an orange
tree in full growth and bearing,
should visit Mr.. Perry, corner of
Stone and Franklin streets, where
there are two trees well laden with
fruit. This shows that it will be
but few years until the value OF this
