ALLEGED LOST MAN
 IN BYE-BYE LAND
Oliver Zane Was Saoozing Peacefully While Friends
 Worried.

All the concern which the friends of Oliver Zane have felt over the mans recent disappe arance has bee1 so much anxiety gone to waste. While grief-stricken relatives and worrying friends were picturing to themselves all the horrors of exposure and starva- ton which the man lost in the hills" was undergoing. Zane himself was sleeping away as peacefully as a babe at the business establishment of a certain sympathetic friend. Zane did ride forth to the hills on his rented horse exactly as reported. But when he lost the horse. he did not, as ru- mored. fare forth blindly over the hills in quest of the runaway animal Zane is something of a philosopher in q WAY, for instead of stewing and frettirg over the horse's defection, as most men would have done. he walk. ed calmly back to Bisbee, and slept over the matter. That was better than starving to death in the hills and having his bleached bones found months after the horse had wandered back to the barn of its own Tolition. There is none of the "A horse, a horse. my kingdom for a horse" non sense about Zane. He would spoil a dramatic newspaper story for a good snooze almost any time.

JUSTIFICATION BROWN
 FIGHTS FllR HIS DOG
He Smote "BulIie'S" Traducer Over the "Haid" With An
 "UmbreIer."

Two negroes of the town were ar raigned at the par of justice yestef day upon the charge Of fighting. To his honor. Justice High. they told two stories that differed in certain very amusing details. Joe Brown insist ed that he had only been "foolin." while James Wright on the other hand declared tlat for his part he had been eighth" "Theah want mo foolin' on mah paht. jedge." saio Wright. Nah blood was boilin' from staht to finish They aain't no mig. gah gwine bus me ovah the haid

 Brown, as most people in Bisbee
 know. Is a bootblack on Main street. "Festifcation" Brown is the name by which he Is generally Known. Fest |ficafion" ayows that Wright came up to his place of business and made "A
 most disparaging remark anent the personal appearance of 'Buliie." the famous Brown family bull dog. Now you can insult Brown with a lot more impunity than if you insult his dog. The immediate result of Wright's facetious comment was that a large green cotton umbrella crashed with a sickening tnud through his derby hat.
 Brown says the blow was a playful one. but there is where the testimony
 differs. Wright says that the giint of hate was in the smiter's eye.
 When Bill White galloped up to the
 circle of delighted fans who surround ed the combatants he round Wright perched upon the prostrate form ot
 Brown. The latter, who was being slowly choked into submission, was fee0ly yielding his umbrella in harm

 Ed Grindeli, who has beer. making his headqanrters at Coartiand for-the past few weeks, where he has beek looking after the interests of the Overlook Tract at Douglas, stated yes terday, while spending the day in Bis bee, that business was advancing rap idly at the new camp aud that there was general activity on every hand.
 T was surprised to sec Inc great number of people who are continually coming into the new camp, and as well as the number continually going out There have been a number Of lots sold in the new townsite which was recently thrown upon the market, but the general impression is that the people thero and at adjoining towns are waiting for the large townsite waich will be opened by some of the large companies operating there, which it is understood will be done in a very few days. William Kline has opened up large stretch of prai- rie land there for a townsite ana claims to have the proper title, al though several others haye bought the same land and claim to have the best titles. It is not easy to say just how this matter will terminate.
 We are enjoying a revival of busi- ness in Douglas sinca the beginning or the railroads in the Sulphur Springs valley. and real estate has been eX- periencing Q considerable boom.
