B|SBEES 4TH \ QUIET ONE
 UNTIL NIGHT
Then It Was Livened Up By Band Concert By the Fort Soldiers and Magnificent Display. of Fire Works.

The celebration of the Fourth was a quiet one in Bisbee. The exodus to Douglas was noticeable on the streets throughout the day. With the eXcep- ton of intermittent reports from can non crackers and the crackle of small CT punches the day had the aspect of Sunday. In the evening things livened up with the return of many of the excursionists from the Shelter City. However, not more than one third of those who left in the morning returned on the excursion at o'clock the balance waiting over for the late train last night, and some remaining over to make two day stay in Doug las
 While there was considerable Cele- bration during the early hours yestar- day morning it was all good natured. Very few arrests were made yester- day or last night. The return of the late special from Douglas was herald ed by many of the crowd who had helped to make the Shelter City's celebration the big and successful af- fair that it was.
 The fire works display and concert of the Fifth Cavalry band between s and o'clock attracted a crowd that packed every foot of space on the Copper Queen office grounds and the street in that vicinity with an overflow, out on the plaza Hundreds of fam flies were admirably located to wit ness the display and hear the concert at their homes. The fireworks were displayed by c. E. Rinehart and his assistants without the slightest mis- hap. The big rockets carried higher than the top of the mountain and the bombs and their varied colored ef- fleets after explosion in the air made a brilliant scene in the heavens at times.
 The band concert was a treat such as Bisbee has not had in the past and wifi not have again until the Fifth cavalry boys come back to Bisbee.
