STRANGER GIVES BAD CHECKS
 ID ELKS

PHOENIX, Aug. 5.-S. P. Adams, who spent a few days in Phoenix a short time ago. and became known to several people in this city, appears to have gone to Prescott after leas- ing here. and by getting into the good graces of the people there left behind him trail of bad checks by which his trip through the mountain city was easily marked.
 As a result of his smooth work Aj- ans left Prescott with S70 and three warrants behind him. This time it was an Elk's card that did the work recognized everywhere as a badge of integrity.
 It was on Tuesday of last week that Adams. we'll dressed, clean shaven, and apparently well educated, walked into the B.-B. store at Prescott, and stated that he wished to purchase a trunk. J. B. Kohl tcok him to the trunk department of the big depart ment store and showed him through the company's line of trunks. While doing so he noted that Adams wore an Elks' pin.
 q see that you are one of the boys. :" he remarked Adams responded by drawing from his pocket an Elk's card. showing him to be in good stand ing with Lodge No. 1es0 at ParagouiG. Ark.
 He purchased a trunk for s20 and a pair of shoes for S4. and gave in pay ment his personal check on a Deming, N. M. bank for s30. receiving s5 in change.
 Adams explained to Kohl that he was a member of the real estate firm of Adams Bros. of Deming, and Mem phis. Tenn.
 He next went into Joe Archam-
 beau's saloon and, through the me. dium of his Elk's card succeed in get. ting Archambeau to cash a draft on
 the Deming bank for SIS. Subsequently he got J. H. Johnson
 ans 'rfr saloon man, to ras: check | fer sss5
 While at the E. B. stors Adams OK, plained to Kohl that he had just come over from Phoenix in order to list
 some mining property in Prescott, and
 that his 2unk had been smashed en | route. l This statement was later shown to
 be true. as the trunk was found in the
 Head hotel, where he had sent it after | arriving in Prescott. It developed
 however. that he did not remain over | night after cashing his checks, bul | took the next train out for Williams
 where all trace of him was lost Little was thought of the matter
 until word was received from the
 Deming bank, on which the checks
 were drawn, to the effect that they | were worthless.
 {, Warrants for Adams arrest have | been sworn cut He is said to be a quiet fellow, red complexion and l clean shaven.

Especial to Review.l

CANANEA. Aug. 5.-John and I'd Mcdaniel, until recently the proprie- tors of the Hotel Sonora, have acquir- ed control of several thousand acres of rich farming and ranching land about sixty-five miles southeast of here, and it was because of the allur- ing advantages their new possessions offered that they decided to give their entire attention to it. This land lies CT the upper part of the Yaqui river. is well watered and can be very easily cultivated. Until very recently, ow- ing to the uncertainty of the Indians, it was not a safe locality, and has, tor that reason, been neglected. It has fairly good facilities for shipping, Ysa- bel station being some twenty miles away. They expect to stock the ranch with cattle and raise alfalfa for do nestle and shipping purposes.
 A. E. Wiedman, for some time past a timekeeper at the Capote mine, has taken night position in the general office of the 4-C Co.

The best boxed-up secrets sometimes leak out and it is to be regretted that the young lady's earnest efforts to keep the good news down did not succeed She has received sufficient congratulations. however, to smother the disappoint- ment in not being able to have later announcement come as complete surprise. All of which proves that, while the weather is exceedingly damn 1t has no effect on sharp pointed ar row from Cupid's bow.

But all rumors proved false. The money is forth. coming to meet the salary roll today. the team will go to Fl Paso, and will go smiling. happy and confident, and the strong team Bisbee now has will continue to win laurels for the Copper City and under the same management
 This was virtually the announce ment made by Manager Wolf last night.

FRIGHTENING PLANT FALLS
 SUDDENLY

The precipitating plant of the Cop per Queen company near the mouth oi the Czar lhaft collapsed shortly after noon yesterday. causing an Immediate loss to the company of 5000, a result ing loss of about s1,060 a month until a new plant can be completed. and in- turing two Mexican laborers, whose injuries fortunately were not serious The escape from serious injuries or casualties was fortunate, for it had been intended yesterday to put force of men to work bracing the plant. and had they been put to work at the hour intended the plant would have fallen directly upon them, while as it was the two Mexicans who were injur- ed were riding the plant.
 The preeipitating plant of the Cop per Queen company is where the wa ter coming from the shaft passes through tin cans and scrap iron. and precipitate. to these substances the not inconsiderable quantities of copper with which the mine water is impreg- mated. At this season of the year about 5000 worth of copper is saved in this way each omnth. and without this precipitating process that much copper goes to waste.
 Weakness Is Noted.
 The plant was built some four years and hal hnQn In since. Recently it was noted that it was spreading from the adjoining building on the hillside, and Mine Su- perintendent Parker Woodman visited the plant yesterday and decided that 1t must be braced. He at first planned to start that work at once, and then decided to wait until this morning. His change of decision is responsible for the fact that there were not a mum. Der of serious injuries and possible casualties.
 The cause of the accident is the eat. ing way of the nails with which the plant is put together by the constant action of the copper impregnated wa. ter upon them. This was aggravated by the extra heavy weight which has been put upon the plant during the recent rains in handling the excess wa. ter
 While it was known that the plant was weakened and plans were under. way to strengthen it which would have gone into operation today, the sudden collapse came unexpectedly and prac. ically without warning. 1t was not thought that the danger was imneii ate At the time of the collapse the two Mexicans were working on tup of the plant and thus escaped wiIh only comparatively slight injuries. One was held down for a short time in the wreckage, but was quickly released.
 The most seriously injured of the two worknen was Pedro Morales, who is in the c. Q. hospital with six-!nch scalp wound and other less serious cuts and bruises. The other man had his cuts attended to at the dispensary and went to his home.

cate that during the twelve months

Controversy.

Birmingham. Eng, Jan. 14.-The
constantly varying tactics of the
women suffragists developed an ex-
traordinary scene at political ban
quet given here tonight to Winston
Spencer Churchill. president of the
board of trade, and caused much en-
barrassment to a large company of
men and women who attended the
function. During the dinner a woman
in evening dress went to the table
where Mr.. Churchill was sitting and
commenced to argue with him in IA
vor of votes for women. The CONVEX
sation was carried on for some time,
the woman standing facing Mr..
Churchill. who, with his wife. re-
mained seated eating his dinner.
Finally the officials insisted that the
woman leave the dining hall and up.
on refusing to do she was taken by
shoulders and escorted to the door,
meanwhile shouting suffragette battle
cries.
