HAs 4 NARROW ESCAPE FROM
 AWFUL DEATH
Boy Is Bitten By RattIer When Eight Miles From Home Owes Life To Prompt Action Of Youthful Companion.

Although still in serious condi- tion last evening Howard Hohm- faulk, sixteen years of age, who was bitten by a rattlesnake while on a hunting expedition with companion on Sunday morning, was thought to be out of all danger. It is not thought that he will suffer any i'll effects from his terrible experience, which might have ended fatally had it not been for the prompt action taken by his companion, Samuel Wing. a youth of the same age.
 On Sunday morning Young Bohm- faulk and Wing left the ranch own ed by the father of the former, being armed with shotguns and intending to shoot rabbits on the other side of the international boundary line, which lies a short distance south of the ranch east of Osborn.
 After crossing the line the boys killed several rabbits, and tracked. a cotton-tail to a hole into which. it was thought he had gone. Bohm- faulk at once placed his hand in the hole. and almost immediately shriek- ed in agony, the deadly Hangs of a rattlesnake having fastened in one
 
 of his fingers. He realized the dead ly effect the poison would have ane tried to suck the wound, but with o1 avail. Young Wing then made a tourniquet of a piece of string which he placed above the wound, but this also was ineffective, and as his com panion was rapidly growing weaker, the boy took him in his arms, and started walking towards the Bohm- faulk ranch, a distance of eight miles. The burden was too much for him after half hours struggle, and he left the stricken boy on the road while he. ran most of the remaining distance, and informed Bobmfaulk, senior. of what had happened. The parent immediately hitched up a buggy and went to the scene, in the meantime Dr. N. c. Bledsoe, of the c. & A. staff being summoned from Bisbee.
 When he was brought to his home young Bohmfaulk was In critical condition, but an antidote was ad- ministered, and it is now believed he will recover without any III effects.

JOHNS GETS 10 YEARS.

The motion for new trial made by counsel for John Johns, a Papago Indian, found guilty d murder in the second degree, was over-ruled by Judge John R. Campbell in the Pima county district court yesterday and John was sentenced to ten years in the. territorial penitentiary.
 Attorney s. W. Purcell, who afs' peared for Johns, claimed the wit nesses for the prosecution perjured themselves and for that reason raaae the motion for a new trial. However the motion was not pressed.
 John stabbed an Indian in a Pap ago village sixty miles west of Tue son, the Indian dying four days later from the effects Of his wounds. A posse headed by Sheriff Pacheco, Captain Wheeler and Billy Olds, of the Rangers, left Tucson for the scene of the killing immediately af- ter word of it was received.
 After a weeks absence the posse returned with Johns. The killing oc cured last summer and Johns trial was held in December. Witnesses for the defense testified that it was not Johns, but another Indian, who did the stabbing.

 Reopened,

Today the cafe of the Hotel Roya will be closed, and will not be re opened until March l, when 1t will be under the management of B. F. St Germain, now in charge of one of the dining cars of the Fl Paso & South western, and 4. M. Tong, a well known resident of. this distrct
 It is the intention of the new pto- prietors to make extensive improve. ments in the establishment, renovat ing it in every particular, and giving to the people of Bisbee a cafe which will be first class in every way, al though the rates will be moderate. All Of the furnishings and appoint ments will be such as are found in the leading cafes of the large cities Between now and the first of next month the proprietors will give their time and attention to the preparing of the establishment

 The other member of the firm, B. F. St. Germain, is not so weIl known : in the district, only having been ac quainted here in the past eight weeks, during which time he has been with the railroad company. In this posi- ton he has shown himself to be a maa with the capacity to look after the almost innumerable details which contribute to the comfort of guests. During the second term of Grover Cleveland as president of the United States ne was the White House chef, which would indicate that he knows not only the principles of the culinary art, but that he is well acquainted with its many secrets.

SHIELDS DEPARTURE
 IS MUCH REGRETTED
Will Be Missed In BiSbee Where He Has Devoted Years of
 Good Work.

Since tae announcement on Sunday morning, made in the Review that the Episcopal church in this city to to give up his position as rector of Rev. Harvey M. Shieldr had decided go to Dawson, New Mexico, wnere he will have charge of the Union church of that city, as chaplain, there have been heard many expressions of regret by the residents of Bisbee, where Rev. Shields has labored for seven years, first as pastor of the Presbyterian church and later as the rector of the Episcopal church.
 From the day Rev. Shields arrived in Bisbee he has devoted his entire time to doing what he could for the benefit of Bisbee and it's inhabitants. In the pulpit he has been constant in urging the necessity for morality and christianity as an uplifting Tea ture of the community and on the streets he has ever been ready to hear the story of distress from what ever source it might come and be sides responding to every call for aelp~by giving of his own meagre means and inducing others to give he has- been diIigent in searching out the homes of those who might need assistance. The spirit of charity and love is the predominating feature of Rev. Shields and that there should be regret because of ais departure from Bisbee is perfectly natural. There may be others who will come to Bisbee just as earnest as he, but none, it is safe to say, will ever rem der n.5re unselfish service to the cause of Christianity in this city.
 Besides his work as minister and a Christian gentlemans Rev. Shields has always been ready with his time and energy to aid in any proposition which promised to benefit Bisbee. Cocaise county or the territory of Arizona. When the fight was being made in Washington to save Arizona from the condition which would be imposed by passing the proposed joint statehood bill, Rev. Shields was requested to accompany the gensFsl committee which went from Ar:zena to Washington. He did so and fdid much to explain the adherence Of our people to that measure.
 Speaking of the departure of Rev. Shields yesterday, General Manager Walter Douglas, of the Copper Qusen, said: "The departure O. Rev. Shields from Bisbee will be much regretted ty the people who have watched his rnselfsh work here during tie last

EVERY CLASS IS BOOSTING
 THE Y. W. [. A.
Strangers To City Express De-
 sire To Contribute-Young Women EIated Over Practi- cal Certainty of Association

In an interview yesterday afternoon Dr. N. c. BIedsoe, press representa- tive Of the Y. w. c. A. movement that is attracting so much attention and one of the leaders in that enter prise, stated that the committee in charge of the campaign for pledges to the Association was more than pleased with the results that are be- ing obtained. All of the teams are enthusiastically at work and there are few who are not wearing one of the badges that indicate a pledge to subscribe something to the building when it shall be asked.
 Not only are the business and pro- fesssional men taking an interest in the effort to provide place of recre- ation for the young women of the city, but the miners and other labor !, ing men of the city are indicating their interest and their willingness to help with their earnings. The wom-
 en of the town are also taking sides in the contest and will contribute no small portion of the total amount. As for the young women in whose interest the building is to be built l and equipped, they are as unit ill enthusiasm over the prospect of hay ing an institution similar to the one that means so much to the young men of the city. They are giving of their
 means and using their influence to forward the movement.
 As has been stated before, no money is being accepted at the pres
 ent time, and after the close of the
 contest between the ten rival teams, which will be at the close of the pres
 ent month, it may be thirty, sixty, ninety, or even more days, before any money is asked for. The only excep-
 ton that is being made to this rule is
 in the case of strangers or visitors to
 the city who eyilces an interest in
 the movement and express a desire to be allowed to contribute to so worthy an enterprise.

VERY EMBARRASSING
 AND MOST REGRETTbBlE
Tombstone Correspondent To
 Review Makes Big iBuIl News Story Sunday,

In Sunday mornings Review ap- peared anNitem in the Tombstone cor respondence which is very much re- gretted and for which apology is due MT. and Mrs. c. F. Henkle, of Douglas. The correspondent, after telling of the bankruptcy proceed ings in the United States court which resulted in MT. Henkle being de- clared a bankrupt on the petition of creditors, the article stated that in addition to this trouble, Mir. Henkle was recently made defendant in di- divorce suit. The correspondent eVi dently mixed Mir Henkle with some other person, so far as the divorce statement is concerned.
 Mir. and Mrs. Henkle were former residents of Bisbee, going to Doug las to reside more than a year ago. Their domestic relations are most amicable and the appearance of an article telling of divorce suit be. tween them was naturally most em- lbarrassing.
 The article was entirely without foundation and the Review offers que apology for the blundering of its cor respondent.

ADAMS COMES ID BIsBEE FOR
 HE FIRST TIME
Prominent Man Of Territory Arrived Here Last Evening" Reiterates Political Senti-
 ments Expressed at Tucson.

After spending few days in Pima county endeavoring to interest the prominent citizens of Tucson in a movement to establish race track at that point, forming circuit, which would attract horsemen to the south west after the close of the season in the eastern states, J. c. Adams of Phoenix, who for years past has been prominent in affairs of the territory, arrived in the city last evening, and will probably spend coIpie of Gays here.
 Although he has been q re sidept of the territory for fourteen years. has been prominent in the lntl Joint state hood movement, is Q Car.itOriai far commissioner, and has extensive in- terests, this is the first tiGIc Adams has ever visited Bisbee. h spaking of the matter last evening to Review man he said:
 q don't know how it has happened, but it seems that every time I have planned to visit Bisbee until the pres ent, something has always occurred to make me give up the trip. For long time past have known of it's wonder. full resources, which since have been resident of the territory have been developed from mere prospects to great mines. However, I am glad got here on this trip, and intend to spend a couple of days"
 In discussing the political situation Adams, who is one of the foremost Republicans of the territory, and has been a staunch supporter of the party last evening expressed exactly the same sentiments as he did in Tucson on Saturday, a complete account oi which was published in Sundays Re view. He reiterated his expressed hope of seeing appointments to offices in the territory made from the rank and file. of the party, instead of from the United States at large. He. also stated that he felt certain that there would be aB overwhelming majority al the territorial conventiin in favor oi sending to Chicago an uninstructed delegation, not because of any oppo sition to Roosevelt or Taft, but SC as to place Arizona in better position to demand home rule"
 A number of prominent local Repub licans called on Adams last evening but no statement could be secured con cernlng what was discussed.
 The matter which the we'll known visitor was most anxious to discuss was that of establishing a racing cir. cult, including Fl Paso, Bisbee, Tue son and Phoenix Adams himself did much to secure the legislation which resulted in the establishment of the territorial fair and is an enthusiastic horseman. What he desires to see now, is meet held in the fall of each year, at each. of the places named. weeks racing at Fl Paso, and the sue ceeding places pricr to the territorial fair would attract the horsemen Of the country, and induce them to make the trip to the coast with their horses through the southwest. He stated last night that he hoped to see the project carried out

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK

Work has been mans lot since the creation, but a day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is 1t, then. you ask that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs, and more especially up- on the kidneys. which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork,-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations, is too great The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there is a dou blc danger to health. The poisonous matter collects in the system. and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only q warning of trouble in the kidneys. An inflam nation has set in. and q disOrdcrcd condition of the urine soon becomes apparent

ing despite the unpleasant weather. The fans Were rewarded for as the game grew hotter, the blood began to thaw and by. the time the affair had gone two or three sessions and still q tieup. real sweat began to appear.
 Pierce, the leftwing, was in the box during the entire game for the Orphans, while Grijalva furnished the ammunition for the Maroons. Pierce lacked steam and got himself in sev- eral holes but somehow pulled out of the mud Grijalva was a trifle wild but settled down. His old hoodou, the clustering of hits, came about in the eighth and he had no chance to win. There were three double plays which infused considerable life into the con test and several spectacular infield plays Both hines had on their bat ting clothes and broke about even on this score. Pedro who caught for the Maroons proved a substantial addition to the team and Frank at third strengthened the infield. Cisney work
 ed fine at first for the Orphans and Magoffin did himself proud at second. Tebben had ten hard labors heaped upon him at third and carried out eight of them in league form. Take it ali way through the teams both put up a good quality of ball and show improvement as the series proceeds. ,.4E
 The Orphans were first up. Nnson was out pitcher to first; Lewis was safe on an error at second, stole third on a passed ball and came home on Tebben's drive to right; Magoffin drew a base on balls, Cisney was hit, and

in the interest of fairness, leaving the following figures as a fair and honest comparison of the volume of business for the two years.
 190G-S31 transactions, S2,025623.
 1907-l155 transactions, S3,754,444
 Net increase in 1907, 324 transactions. amounting to sl,72S,S2l or over S6 1-S per cent.
 Where is there any other good live country on earth. where there is no boom and no excitement. and every body wondering when it is going to get busy and when the boom is likely to come, where the volume of realty business is increasing annually over S6 per cent?
 And these represent bona fide trans actions also, business that is made of record, not mere bonds for deed or op- tions placed in somebody's safe, or transfers from one member of a realty firm to another or one member of a family to another. Very little of that has been done here so far or if so it is not of record and is not counted in the accompanying schedules.
 The question will be asked by many, how these figures were obtained. as so many transactions on the records car Fy a misleading consideration in cases where the parties do not desire the actual consideration made known For instance it is a frequent occur renee to find a quarter section deeded for s10 or some other small figure. It is therefore announced that the figures secured are estimated, but the esti- mate is as accurate as it could possi- ply be made. Resort was had to an office where all the maps of the coun- ty are on file and when an instrument was encountered with a blind" con- sideration, not only the gentlemen compiling these figures. but other en- ployes of the office and realty men were called upon to appraise the par ticular property in question at its ac- tual value as near as could be esti- mated by comparison with similar tracts in the vicinity, sold at about the same time and for which the selling values were named in the instruments No fairer way could be devised and an effort was made to be conservative in every instance.

Real Estate Transfers
Volume of Business In MaricOpa County In- creased S6 per cent Last Year.

Secretary Geo. w. Cowgirl of the Ia very large part of their time last week in the preparation of some sta tisticS in respect of real estate trans iers, that are both interesting and elo- quent They are given in connection with this article and they are worth d careful perusal by everybody who lives in this valley and cares to know what is going on as well as everybody who Is considering this valley as a future home, They show that while there has been nothing here that anybody would presume to call a boom there has been constant growth of business for two years past that surely indi- cates a live country.
 The transfer of real estate in this county, according to the records for 1906, amounted in value to $2,350, ,26S. The real estate transferred last year amounted to S4.533194, or an increase of $2,1S2.926. being almost double the business transacted during the preced- ing year.
 Al this point the reader is invited to consult the table. Those who know will be reminded that there was one large trd1 saction in each year whi.h greatly swelled the totals for those years and which did not represent ordinary business or profit taking tranSac tons. Those transactions are
 marked with one star or two stars in the table and will be deducted to show perfectly fair and C0NSERV- ATIVE result. Reference is made in the 1906 schedule to the purchase of the north side canal systems by the government, for s324,645 which intrinsically was the most prof itable transaction for the peo- pie ever consummated in this valley, but it was not ordinary busi- ness. represented no actual immediate profit to anybody and therefore should not be counted in a prosperity story showing increased volume of business. The same is true the 1907 schedule concerning the sale of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad property in this county, to the Southern Pacific sys- tenn. This little deal amounting to $77S,I50 is therefore thrown out also,
