you. Perhaps you will understand
why | have not written, for the
last stormy interview between you
and me is still wildly impressed
upon my memory. [ hope the
long interval of silence has softened
your attitude towards me, and that
this appeal to you will not go un-
needed. Dear father, since leav-
ing the paternal home, your wise
counsels and mothers Christian

known seas and am wreck of my
former self. just how far I have
drifted along the vicissitudes of
life l am ashamed to confess, but
suffice to say that I am without
friends, position, wealth and repu-
tation-the latter being way below
par.
Hoping that you still bear
towards me the affection which a
father has for his son and that you
will bid me welcome home, [ am,
Your affectionate son
Johnny.
My Dear Son:-I was very much
pleased to hear from you. Ideeply
regret the impassioned words I
said to you on the day of your de-
parture, for they have caused me
much sorrow. If you had gone to
the bad I would have held myself
accountable; it was my testy tenn
per that was responsible for you
leaving home. My son, many a
youth has been driven from home
because of fathers wish to have
his son adopt profession not
suited to his inclinations. God
only knows what has become of
most of these boys; DO doubt some
of them are. dead and perhaps
others are in prison. [ intended
that you should follow in my foot

crestfallen, heartsick and worried
father who mourns for his boy.
Many a night [ have lain awake
wondering how you were faring.
l knew you were unprepared to
cope with the world, for your hands
were untaught and your brain
unclassified as to the ways of the
world. That is why [ worried, my
son, and wondered what had be-
fallen you.
I am indeed sorry to learn that
your condition is so pitiable as to
be without friends, money or posi-
ton. My boy, believe me, [ care
not how friendless or poor you
may be; I care not>what indiscre-
ton you may have committed or
where you are; 1 care not even if
you have broken the law, for I am
your father and will stand by you
no matter what has occurred. Come
to me at once. Your stubborn old
dad wishes to grasp you by the

Ing the glad hand to her younger sis
ter. the Warren Country club, upon
her embarking into housekeeping on
her own account and the members will
turn out in goodly numbers to attend
the house warming.
First came a general invitation to
all the Douglas members to attend
during the four days Of celebration and
that was followed by another letter
which went further into the plans for
sports as made. That letter is as fol-
lows:
Bisbee, Ariz., Aug. 81, 1908.
Dear Sir: As far as the plans are
complete for our club opening we nave
arranged golf and tennis matches with
Z! Paso, the other clubs finding it i'm
convenient TO send teams. On the even
ing Of September 4, 1908, we have an
opening dance, and would like to have
as many of the members of your club
as possible attend this with their la.
dies.
On Saturday, the 5th, the Ell Paso
Golf club of seven men will be here,
as well as the Clifton tennis players,
and our plan is to nave team matches
az golf between FL Paso and Warren,
FL Paso and Douglas and Warren and
Douglas, also an open medal tourna-
ment for individual golf players of any
club. The FL Paso club will pro ably
send seven men, but think the
match between Warren and Douglas
can be between ten (10) men teams.
If it is possible we would like to
have the Douglas players here on both
the 5th and 9th, and we also would
like very much to have you send as
many tennis players as possible. The
tennis will probably consist of an open
tournament in both singles and doubles
and not team matches. TIE arrange
ment of these different contests large
ly depends upon what your club does
and how long you can be with US, and
I hope you will let me know as soon
as possible what we may expect.

had been resident of the camp for
the past six years. No funeral al

Immediately after the accident
Justice John w Hogan summoned
jury to view the remains, which had
been carried TO the Copper Queen

O'Clock by Justice Hogan.
At the time of the accident the de-

Of the old Holbrook station, on the
400 level According to the story OF
Stewart Grant, who was working with

fell off the ladder and his leg was

According to Grant. Boyd hung sus-
pended in the air for about TEN sec

forth in a violent manner, from the
force of the electric current. He as
sisted him to the ground, gave the
emergency signal and had him hoisted

dead at the time, but was carried to
the hospital in the hope that some

physicians A brief examination
showed that he was dead.

Miner showed that Boyd's neck had
