MOTHERS LAST SACRIFICE
The United States Grand
Jury at Tombstone Retain
ed in Spite of a Want of
Conformity to Provisions
of the New Territorial Law

Bisbee, Ariz, April 27.-(Special
correspondence of The Republican, =
Friends of Mrs. w. r. Fairbanks, who
was burned to death in the fire at
South Bisbee yesterday, state now
that they believe she returned to the
house after the picture of herself and
a little son who died some years ago,
and that she was overcome by the
smoke. Parties living in that neigh
borhood saw her standing on the
steps of the house screaming for aid
a few minutes before the fire team
arrived and from that moment until
her corpse was found in the ruins of
the home by her distracted husband,
she was lost sight of and forgotten in
the excitement of the fire. She has
frequently been heard to say that in
the event of fire this picture was
the one thing most desired to save,
which leads to the belief that she
returned to the house to save it.

About $50 feet of the cement re-
tanning wall, which was recently con-
structed by the city in the neighbor-
hood of the Metz Soda works in
Tombstone Canyon crumbled yester-
day and without any apparent reason
fell into the creek. Members of the
city construction force state that they
believe the city has received a batch
of poor cement and a special meeting
of the city council was held last night
Arizona republican., 1909-04-30

to consider the matter. A representa-
tive of the lola Cement company was
present and stated that he believed
the trouble was caused by faulty con-
struction The city engineer was ord

the responsibility and should it be
proven that the cement was poor, ac-
ton may be taken on the bond given
by the cement company.
The new Bisbee baseball team
leaves today to cross bats in three
games with the team at Clifton. The
games will be played on Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday, and according to
Manager Hennessy the team will re-
turn by way of Cananea, where a
game will be played during the Cinco
de Mayo celebration. A try out of
the team will be made this morning
when the members that are to go to
Clifton will be finally, chosen.

VALLEY NINE MAY GO EAST

An attempt will be made by Manager
Ed. Rudolph of the Salt River valley
baseball nine to send the team east
this summer to play games with the
local stars of the towns and cities
between Phoenix and Chicago and at
the same time act as an advertise
ment of the valley. 1t is estimated
that about 5000 will have to be raised
among the merchants of Phoenix to
finance the trip. The board of trade
will be asked for its support of the
proposition. The general scheme is
TO send on an advance agent to ar
range for the games. The route will
be to Chicago by one road and back
by another, games being played
wherever they can be obtained. The
trip will probably last about six
weeks. Many of the members of the
present Valley nine have agreed to go
along, among them being Tebben.
Duhnson, Morris, Cuber, Pete Sullivan
and Hahn. Efforts will be made to
get a couple of crack pitchers from
one of the coast league teams so that
the outfit will be one that will be
hard to beat b. any of the teams of
the lesser cities along the route. The

may decide to take a trip of several
months duration in Europe.
Among the many attractions being
arranged by the different societies
which will conduct picnics at Lewis
Springs during the coming season
is a boxing match which has been
arranged for by the Red Mems COM
mittee. Joe Garigae and Mike Daw-
san, two local men are the ones who
will box for the honOrs over a six
round course and it is understood that
they weigh in at 145 pounds.
The police court matter, which has
occupied the attention of the council
for a number of weeks past, has at
last been decided by the council, by
choosing John w. Hogan, formerly
justice of the peace for the office.
The offer of W. d. Cleary to perform
the duties of the office gratis, was
not seriously considered by the coun-
