COUNTY WILL
 TURN OUT Al
 BIG BARBECUE
Big Delegation With Band Viii Attend From SfneIteT City Other Parts County to Be Represented.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Tz- rious committees appointed at the last meeting of the Warren District Demo- cratic Club to carry out the details Of the plans for the big free barbecue which is to be given Sunday, August 30th, at Lewis Springs, was held in the club rooms last night There was a full representation of all the com mittees and every indication is that the barbecue will be one of the great est political gatherings in the history of the county.
 The committee appointed to see what arrangements could be made vita the railroad reported that the E. P. & s. w had requested that the barbecue be given on the 23rd of this month, instead of the Both, but that upon the insistence Of the club that the latter date had been selected at the request Of the miners because that was change day and they could get away for the event, the railroad had consented to secure the coaches for the S0th even though 1t had to borrow them from another road.
 Reports have been received from number of members of the adyertis- ing committee in different sections or the county and all of them send Tn glowing accounts of the interest that is being takengfn the big free barbe- cue. and indicate that the attendance will be record breaking. E. A. Pack ard. on the committee at Douglas, writes that the Shelter City will be on hand with big delegation and hand. In fact, the reports received from the various parts of thet county are so encouraging that an attendance of 5000 and perhaps more is expect cd and arrangements will be made to take care of an even greater mum Der than that.

MADE RECORD AT POSTOFF|CE
 DID CASSIDY
And His Force of Clerks Fol- lowing the Flood and Wreck ing of the PoStoffice on Tuesday Afternoon.

Postmaster NJ. E. Cassidy and his force of clerks made a great record iR bringing order out of chaos at the Bisbee postoffice yesterday. Every
 piece of mail that came into the office was dispatched and all of the incon- ing mails were distributed. The rain had scarcely ceased falling on Tues day when a force of men was put to work cleaning out the office. By yes terday afternoon the wrecked cases and racks had been enlightened up in the best manner possible, the dam aged mail had been segregated and placed in a room where an effort win be made to sort it out, tsle floors had been washed and scrubbed and all of the rocks and mud had been removed. A force of men worked all night and all day yesterday. The force of clerks went on duty during the day. First class mail was distributed at the side door on Main street, long files of persons being in line through out the day Some time this morn ing, at 70 o'clock it was expected last night, the office will be thrown open to the public again. Money order can be sent from the Lowell branch of the main office. No stamps were sold yes terday, but an effort will be made to resume their sale today.
 All patrons of the postofIice were loud yesterday in their praise of the manner in which Postmaster Cassidy had handled the trying situation fol lowing the flood and for the excellent service rendered following the flood, the circumstances.
 Just what the loss at the postoffice will foot up Is hard to determine. Until claims are filed it will not be known what was lost in the register ed mail Practically all of the equip ment of the office will have to be re- placed. A new floor will also have to be put down.
 The other places damaged on Main street made rapid progress yesterday in getting in shape for business again. 4 force of men in three or four days win have all of the debris back of the Copper Queen library and along the E. p. & s. W. siding cleaned up and hauled away. Street Commissioner P. J. Mccullough also has, a big force on in different parts of the city clear ing up the streets as fast as possible. it will be weeks before the streets. roads and trails will be in as good shape as they were before the flood. There are many places that will have to be filled in from five to ten feet and in others tens of rocks and dirt win have to be removs d.
 The Copper Queen dispenssry aas temporarily been moved to quarters in tIe Allen block.

 STOCK SUIT
 COMES UP ON
Action for Recovery of 10000 Shares Mitchell Mining Co. Stock Taken From the Gila County Court.

PHOENIX, Aus 5.-The case of the Mitchell Mining company against J. C. Britt, A. T. Hammons and the Globe National Bank was yesterday brought up fro mthe district court for Gila coul- ty on appeal. The property involved consists of 10000 shares of Mitchell Mining company stock of the par value of Si0 a share, alleged by George Mitcaell, the head of the plaintiff com pany to have been obtained by Britt by fraud
 The complaint states that Britt call ed on Mitchell in New York to inter- est him in certain mining properties near Globe consisting of the Parker group and other claims. In this ne gotiation Britt was acting for him self and as attorney in fact for Ham mons.
 It is alleged that Britt made certain nisrepresentations as to amount ana character of the ore in the property, but Mitchell knowing of his reputa- tion in Globe and that be was com petent mining man, relied on what Britt told him and agreed to take tae properties over and put up 300 ton smeltsr, making Britt the superintend- tAtt B- Oiel ctlDA ell q 1e'A1lA9 OA T"t' e month.
 Mitchell said he received reports from Britt from time to time and all were of the most favorable character Things were turning ous so much Der- ter than they had seemed that Britt thought that his report upon the prop erty at the time he was trying 10 make the sale was little short of a slander.
 In the meantime arrangements want on for the smelter; the machinery was shipped to Globe and was put up and "a time was set for blowing in the smelter which has cost Mitchell S50- 600. For the first time Mitchell him self came on the ground short time before the smeIter was to be blown in and about the same time Britt left the county and at the time of the filing of the complaint was still s.bsent Mitchell who is a miring expert himself soon discovered that the prop erty was net what 1t had been repre- sentsd to him to be.

BOARD TRADE DISCUSSES NEW
 IMPROVEMENTS
Status Such No Definite Action Taken on Band, Park and Court House Questions Railroad Men Here.

At the meeting of the Board ol Trade held yesterday afternoon in the council chambers of tae city fathers, the question of band stand for the band boys, the question of the con version of the old cemetery into a public park, and the court house ques ton, were all given consideration, but owing to the situation of the matters, no definite action could be taken in any of them.
 M. 0. Bieknell. traffic manager of the Hartman lines in Arizona, and A. N Brown, general freight agent of the l. F. & s. w. are expected to arrive in the city this morning for the pur- pose of conferring with any members of the Board of Trade who have any question of rates which they wish to take up with them.
 No further steps toward the con version of the old cemetery in Brew cry Guleh into a public park can be taken until some reference is made to the records at Tombstone in order to ascertain the validity of the deed to The property After this is done the Board of Trade and the city council will act together in an effort to accomplish the desired object
 Walter Douglas, general manager of the Copper Queen Company, was quoted as saying that he had no objec- ton to the erection of a band stand on the grounds occupied by the C. Q. general offices, but that he would first like to know definitely whether or not the old cemetery could be secured for a park.
 The question Of sending a delegate to the National Irrigation Congress which is to be held at Albuquerque in September was then discussed. and the question of the appointment of dele gates raised. So far no member of the board has signifed an intention to go except Ed. F. Williams, recently appointed immigration officer for the county, and even he was not certain that he would attend.
 Williams was appointed 9 commit tee of one to ascertain from the board of supervisors whether or not he would be justified in expending in the neighborhood Of $200 for mineral exhibit at the Irrigation Congress in the hope of winning the prize cup, valued at about $500, which is offered for the best mineral exhibit.
 A vote of thanks was extended to the board of supervisors for their prompt action in acceding to the re- quest of the board of trade for the ap- pointment of a commissioner of i'm migration.
 The following were appointed a committee to meet with the railroad men who are expected here this morning, and with whom conference will be held this morning about 10 o'clock in the city hall: George E.

HOLT ARRIVES
 AT !. M. |. 4.
 ID BEGIN WORK
Physical Director Comes Here From the Chicago institute and Training SchooI-Has Had Wide Experience.

Thomas H. Holt, who has been en- gagged as physical director in the local Young Mems Christian Association, arrived in Bisbee last evening and will begin his duties at the associa- ton at once.
 Holt comes directly from the Chi cago Institute and Training School of Y. M c. A. secretaries and physical directors at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where he has been engaged during the past month as special teacher of fencing and boxing in the summer school. Holt's first experience in as- sociation work was at Rockford. H., and later he served as physical direc- tor of the Niagara Falls, N. Y.. asso- citation before taking up his work at the training school.
 The type ot work in the physical department of the Bisbee association is to be a departure from that usually found in most associations. Fencing, wrestling and boxing and high class gymnastics and apparatus work are to have first place. Holt's ability as an expert fencer is unquestioned and no doubt a large number of the mem hers will take up this extremely inter esting and fascinating sport. Several styles will be taught, snch as Italian sabres, French foils and single stick Tn the boxing and wrestling the latest approved methods are to be used in instructing the classes. These eX- traordinary attractions that are being added 10 the physical department to- eether with the other features will prove a large drawing card for asso- citation membership this fall. ana no doubt the association will be able to enroll a total of 1000 members for which the committees are working be fore the close Of the year.

NJ DAMAGE BY
 STORM AT WARREN
Town Down the Canyon Has Stood Hardest Tests
 This Season.

From George H. Allen of Warren the Review learns that reports of damage by Tuesdays storm at Warren ware wholly wrong. He says:
 There was noI a dollars worth of damage done in Warren by the hard rain Tuesday afternoon and night, and sas report that houses were moved from their foundations is of course not Iue As matter~of fact, Warren has experienced harder rains this summer ghau the one of Tuesday, and has passed through them all unscathed.
 "in all probability, no rain storm can occur in this district that will cause damage at Warren. The town site proper is so situated that no great volume of water can gather at any one point The contour offers maly channels for surface drainage. all moving in different directions, and each stream is a mere trifle, even in the hardest rain. Within ten minutes after the rain Tuesday afternoon boys were playing base ball on the Warren diamond. In my opinion 1t is fortunate that there is at least one place in the district where homes can be erected with the assurance that all will be safe during our severe aias of July and August each year.
