WILLIAMS-RAMIREz

A pretty eonsummation of love was the marriage of Francisco Ramirez to Miss Margaret Williams at the pleas. ant home of Justice Hinson Thomas on Oak street last night at 8 O clock. The ceremony was performed by Justice Thomas in the presence of about twelve of the relatives and most intimate friends of the high contracting parties.
 The bride, a maiden of the sweet six
 teen period, looked charming in beau. tiful gown of white gros grain silk, made eu train. She carried bunch of beautiful flowers in her hand, and a cor onation of orange blossoms held the bridal veil in place. She is a native of Globe and is one of the most beautiful blooms from a flower garden of recog- nized feminine beauty. During the past year Miss Williams resided with her mother at Miami, where the groom

Souvenir Pictures That Should Have a
 Big Run in This Section

During the recent visit of William Jennings Bryan to this city Merriweth- CT, the photographer, succeeded in se- curing number of good pictures of the great commoner, which have been arranged in the shape of souvenir pho tographs. One picture shows the great orator addressing the school children at the Central school building. In this picture, not only the famous orator but
 many of the school children can be readily recognized. Another view pie lures MT. Bryan as he is entering a carriage at the school grounds after ad- dressing the children. A number of prominent local men are pictured in this view. The souvenir post cards can be obtained at very reasonable price at the Merriwether studio in the rear of Miners Union hall, across railroad,

ed by the time the new building is com. pleted.
 The townsite company promises to erect $5,000 building opposite the temporary location and equip it with every up.to-date device and convenience. All the paraphernalia will be used in the temporary. office, however. Five hun dred of the latest patent combination lock boxes, which were part of the old postoffice in Globe, have been purchased and will be sent tc Miami within the next two weeks. In addition to the boxes, every inside apparatus and work ing convenience used by the old Globe office was purchased and will be shipped with the lock boxes.
 The building which will house the temporary postofiice will be 24x40, fac ing on Miami street. The Miami front will be all glass, with returning glass front on Live Oak street. The contract, which calls for its completion in two weeks, was awarded to George & Burns, two Miami contractors who are now CT eeting several other buildings.
 The plans for the postofice building proper, which are being drawn by Holmes & Holmes, Globe architects, will soon be completed and after bids have been invited the work will be commenc- ed. It is expected that it will require two months to erect the main postoflice building.
 In two weeks the mail for the mine, for the Miami townsite, for the Toombs Miami townsite, and the upper valley will be received and distributed at the corner of Live Oak and Miami streets.

MAYBRAYS CHARGED WITH WHOLESALE
 SW|NDL|NG
Trial of Cases Next Week Is Expected to Reveal Col
 lossal Grating

DIES MONIES, Ia., December D. When the cases of James C.. Maybray and several scores of his associates are taken up for trial at the term of the l United States court beginning next week the public will learn for the first | time the full details of what is declared | to be the most colossal scheme ever devised to separate the unwary from their money.
 For more than year some of the shrewedest men in the United States secret service have been engaged in gathering evidence against the May bray band. Their investigations have extended to every section of the United States and to Canada and Alaska. From the evidence at hand it would appear that the most successful of the gold brick operators in days gone by were but novices in the swindling game as compared with the men who are charged with feecing their victims of millions through the medium of fake horse races. prize fights, wrestling matches and ped estrian contests
 At Council Bluffs last September the United States grand jury for the south ern district of Iowa indicted James c. Maybray and eighty-four associates on a charge of conspiring to defraud through the use of the United States mails. A number of those indicted are now in jail here awaiting trial. Some of the accused have never been located by the authorities, while few others have been successful in fighting extra dition proceedings Wrestlers, pugi- lists, turfmen and other sporting men of considerable reputation have been in- vOlved in the ease. Others of the band are declared to be well known criminals with long records.
 Although specific amounts are not mentioned in the indictments, it is said that the amounts lost by the alleged victims of Maybray and his associates will exceed a million dollars. The sums lost run from $1,500 to $30,00O, the lat ter sum having been placed on fake horse race, according to the evidence at hand, by Missouri banker.
 Victims in eighteen states, the terri.

The La Sale company again drew a good house last night, though not a capacity house like Sunday, it was a big Monday audience. Once more there was melodrama for the main bill, en- titled "A Southern Romance. Be tween the acts there were some pleasing vaudeville numbers rendered and all that was said of Sunday night 's perform anee will apply equally well to that of last night. Tonight the play announced is Harry Tracy, the Outlaw. ''-Bisbee Miner.

in four acts, with vaudeville number between each and every act of the play. One thing the manager of the com pany assures the public, and that is that they will not have to sit through any long overtures, as there will be something doing all the time.
 Mr. Barr has used the above play for more than five years and has never been able to replace it with anything that he considers anywhere near as good in the melodrama line. Popular prices will prevail during the engage ment of this company, with different play and a new vaudeville speciality each night.
