|BIsBEE HUNTERS FAIL POLAND BUCK OR DOE
MAKE TRIP TO DEER RANGE GUT COME HOME WITHOUT vENlSoN.

There's a good story going the rounds concerning two Bis5ee nim- rods oe more or less prominence. Two or three days ago they went over into the Chiracahuas to take advantage of the last few days of the deer season and when they emerged, toting two fat bucks upon their shoulders, they hit the trail for Rodeo New Mexico. the nearest railway station.
 Now there is law in New Mexico prohibiting the shipping of deer out of the territory. This the hunters did not know or had forgotten else they probably would not have crossed the line.
 They arrived at Rodeo half an hour before train time, with the deer upon their backs. strode up to the station agent and wanted to check the spells 1, of the chase to Bisbee.
 Nay. nay, Pauline quoth the sta. ton agent. Know ye not the law that prohibits deer being shipped out of New Mexico? It cannot be done. Thou must leave thy divers fat bucks here"
 But we shot em in Arizona, re- turned the nimrods, not to be so sas- fly despoiled.
 Then you shouldn't have crossed the line" returned the ticket dispen- ser They can't go to Bisbee. That is all"
 The two then retired to talk it over. Minutes were slipping and something had to be done. Finally they w1nked at one another and strode out or sight of the depot In the shade of COW stable they threw the deer again upon tlse ground, unrolled their bedding, spread it out, lifted the deer again and

But shortly afterward 6 few friends received whispered in vitation to a dinner-and the meal wasn't composed of turkey, duck or quail on toast. either.

''RAssEl" TALK PELTS
 LOCAL ATMOSPHERE
WHILE SOME IS REAL, GREATER PART IS CATCH AS CATCH GAN. HOT AIR.

More ''rassler talk Is just now cir culating through the ozone of the district than has permeated the camp for two or thre years or since Sid varney was in his prime and was making Bisbee his headquarters.
 Douglas is going to get her share also. Hazard and the Indian were matched for a go at the orpheum in the Shelter City Saturday night. For some reason unexplained, how ever, the match fell through. Then Charlie stone came forward and of fered to once more prove his su- periority over the Indian. went to Douglas Wednesday and the Indian followed Wednesday night. The h. dian supposed he was to wrestle liar gard, but on arrival found that the Douglas management had changed ythings.
 Middleskb however signified his willingness to grapple with Stone once more. Much interest centers on this match owing to the talk passed around tending to place last SuE- days bout in an unfavorable light. Stone says he can do it again just as easily and has plenty of packers in Bisbee who hold the same opinion Emil Anderson has handful of business On hand sufficient to keep him busy this month, at least. on Christmas Day he will wrestle Haz gard here at he orpheum. Both men are known for their previous work and betting is expected to be keen on the result Hazard agrees to throw Anderson twice within au hour. but the local followers of ths game all agree that the Courtland man has tough proposition on his hands with the doughty little Dan9 Anderson is one Of those fellows who is little-but, oh, my! His conquests of Sid varnsy. the Indian and oth' CTS too numerous to mention, all men of nearly twice his weight oI more, clearly demonstrate the phase of the proposition being considered by the home sports. There will be a good deal of money put up to say that Hazard can't score fall in the allotted time. Should he be unable ta do so, match on straight falls VII undoubtedly be arranged, with TO Handicap proposition. That is what the fans are looking forward to.
 Anderson worked out last night a; the Y. NJ. c. A. with Doris and Me Allester and showed up in the besl of condition.
 After the Hazard 7naicn Ander son will handle Paul Arthur in 2 straight-fall bout, Cornish style. Car Johnson, another local heavyweight wrestler has also challenged him and will probable be accommodated catch-as-catch-can

TUCSON TEAM COMES
 FOR FOOTBALL GAME
PLAN TO REMAIN SATURDAY MIGHT AND BE PRESENT AT SOCIAL FUNCTION.

Word was received from Tucson yesterday to the effect that the High school team Of the old Pueblo. which will meet the local High school team at Warren tomorrow, will leave Tue. son today and will arrive in town tonight. They will probably be quar- tered at the Royal.
 Should the local boys make the showing expected in the first half of tomorrow's game, 1t is probable that a number of the substitutes who have not had much chance to show their abilities So far this season will be put into the lineup. Among these is Doyle, big, husky Freshman who has had little or no opportunity this year, having not been out regularly at practice. He has the snakings ot an excellent lineman and will doubt less be one of the mainstays of next years eleven if his interest in the game Keeps up. He was working out last night as though he meant busi- ness.
 A good time is in store for mem bers Of both teams Saturday night. The Tucson boys will remain over until Sunday and the mothers of the local members of the team have taken advantage of this to arrange a dinner and informal entertainment for the boys at the Country club. That they win enjoy themselves goes without saying.
