Badger Fight at HsrmosiIlo.

bsuReF FtgHt at HefmoSHIo.
 Sunday afternoon the patio at the Cantina Central at IIermosiIo, was the scene of one of the most exciting badger drawings eyer known in Sonora or Arizona; and the assembled crowd witnessing the performance included many of the most prominent citizens of the cap itol city of Sonora, with large sprinkling of visitors from abroad, who had come to witness the great base ball game between the Guay- mas and Hermosilo hines. without inkling or intention of the addi tional treat in store for them. A large and fer0cious badger had been captured out in the noun tains near the Nina Grande, and when the Mexican who had 1t brought into town reported the capture, the sporting fraternity said at once that an unexpected opportunity had descended upon them from the skies as it were; and Bert Monteverde purchased the an- imal immediately at a fabulous price, to have 1t the piece de resist ance of the great event they con- templated. To make sure of the badger meeting a foemaE worthy of his steel-or teeth-the import ed bull dog of Bob Rankin was sent into the ring.
 The great event was pulled off about an hour before the ball game: and the crowd that gathered to witness packed the house. In the center of the ring was the barrel under which lay the badger, ex- tending out from under its edge ran the long cord by which the animal was to be pulled into action at the given signal. Some little time was spent in preliminaries, the difficult ty being to secure referee and a timekeeper acceptable to all. Ev- erybody seemed to have bets on the result, and anyone who was mentioned for either place was ob- jected to immediately by some anxious better. It was believed how ever, that personal spite was at the bottom of the objections. They knew each other too we'll. Finally Captain Grei;e from London, and Mir. Starkey were proposed as ref cree and timekeeper respectively and no objections being raised they were installed. The gallant captain stood upon box, holding taut the cord. As Mir. Smith, the master of ceremonies, gave the count, the captain gave the cord a powerful pull, and the badger sprang into the ring the very per sonification of belligerence; but the dog was equal to the emerg- ency, and in two seconds, as re. corded by the timekeeper, the bad

Hereafter all business letters going out from Nogales should bear this neat ad of the town and coun- tv. An initial thousand were or- dered by the board, but they have proven SO popular that the secret ary has been instructed to secure an additional 2000 copies at once. Any merchant not supplied can secure these stickers from the sec retary of the board
 A letter was read from Hon. Mark Smith with reference to irri- gation appropriations for Arizona, in which Mir. Smith assured the board that he would use every effort toward having the fund for irrigation investigation increased.
 The board at thIs meeting ln- structed the secretary to secure and use hereafter a card of notification of election to membership and also card of membership, as members of our local board, visiting other towns may find it convenient to have such a card with them. Here tofore the board has accepted mem bers upon the payment of the en- trance fee of S100, but hereafter all names proposed for membership will be voted upon by the board of directors and 2-3 vote of members present will be necessary to elect.

The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Trade was held at the board rooms on Tuesday evening, with good attendance of directors present.
 The finance committe brought in report showing that they were having very encouraging success in securing subscriptions to a fund for the board expenses for the com ing months. The readiness with which the necessary money has been raised in these hard times, tends to show that the people of Nogales and the county recognize that the board of trade is a busi- ness necessity and does not come under tine head of luxuries.
 The advertising committee re- ported that the stickers lately is- sued by the board after design furnished by Mir. Chapman, the
