COUNTY SEAT
 REMOVAL LAW
 |S PR0H|B|T|VE
Effort To Be Made To Have
 Law Amended So That Peo-
 pie Could Move County Seat
 Whenever They Desire.

It Is the opinion of many people in Risbeo. some of whom are learned in tho law. that if Judge Doan correctly interpreted the statute in the case be fore him involving the validity of the petition presented by Bisbee last fall for the removal of the county seat. then the present law should be amend ed Judge Doan decided that no. prop erty owned by an incorporated com pany could be represented on a county seat removal petition.
 The board of trade of Bisbee had the matter of an amendment of the county seat law under discussion at it's last meeting and as result Mayor George Neale and Judge J. M. O'Con. nel will in the near future journey to Phoenix for the purpose of interview. ing the lawmakers on the subject Judge O'Connell in speaking of this law last night said:
 "Cnder the decision of Judge Doan the present county seat removal law is absolutely prohibitive so far as Cochise county is concerned. If property owned by incorporated com. panies can not be represented on 8 petition for the removal of a county seat. then certainly it ought not to be taken into consideration against such a proposition.
 The present law requires that be fore the board of supervisors can or. der an election for the removal of the county seat petition must be filed asking for such an election, and that such petition must represent one-third of the taxable wealth of the county. Now. in Cochise county. more than two-thirds of the taxable property is owned by incorporated companies. thus making the coulty seat removal law absolutely prohibitive.
 'The legislature will be asked to amend this law so that whenever a majority of the people of Cochise county or any other county in the ter F1tory desire to remove the county courthouse they may not be baked in doing so.
 Only for the construction placed on this statute by Judge Doan last fall. Bisbee would have easily won the county seat. thus saving many thou. sands oI dollars to the tax payers of the county every year. besides re. lieying the great majority of the peo. pie of the county from the incon. yenience and expense of journeying to Tombstone when they have court business
 lt is not likely that the legislature will hesitate to correct this law. as in it's present shape if every voter and tax payer in Coehise county desired to move the county seat it would be i'm possible for them to do so.

 HAVE BIG PLANS
 F0R FOOTBALL
Association of Camp Teams Will Be Organized and Series Games Arranged - First Match Sunday Week.

Good for the Englishin.n of the camp. They are sustaining here the reputation which they have all over the world as lovers of sports, Judg- in from past experiences fr the camp it has been an up-hili and un- successful effort to attempt the or Ggnization of a baseball team, suca as the leading camp and city in the territory should have, but there is little doubt that football will be one ot the sports of the camp for the rest of the winter-and a series of games. too that would be d credit to any place.
 There are already tAree teams or ganized in the camp for the purpose CT playing association fotball, with 8 practical certainty that one more win Do organized, with q possibility of q fifth Not only do their plans call for series of games among them selves, but they expect to meet and defeat teams from Los Angeles, where the English style of football has q strong organization. The teams al
 ready organizea in the district are
 the Bisbse team. the Tombstone Can Jon team and the oIWen team. Teams Will also probably be organized at John son Addition and South Bisbee. The first Of the series of games 70 | be played will be at Warren a week ! from Sunday February 7th. al 2:30 2. m.. between the iDsoee team and i the Lowell team. The Tombstone 7 Canyon aggregation will challenge | tho winner, the game to be played on the Sunday following, February 14th which is change day for the Cop
 per Queen. It is also probable that a game will be playeJr on Washing tons birthday. February 22Dd.
 The idea Of the promoters is to form an association of all the teams of the camp. to join which an initia- ! ton fee Of E. will be charged, and in which the monthly dues will be $1. \ large number have already signi- 1 fled their intention to join, whether they play football or not, and there is | apparently no doubt that the organiz3-
 tion will be successfully formed The game of associatin football as distinguishes from rugby football. diners chiefly in two thingS-the shape of the ball used, and the man Ter of using it. Most of the American teams play the rugby stdle, which calls
 for an oval ball, and in which the ball
 is carried by the players. but seldom
 kicked. In the association style the
 ball is never carried by a player, but
 is either kicked or punted with the
 head. Some of the prettiest plays
 are said to bs those in which one play-
 CT bounces the bah (which is a round onet from his own head to that of
 some otaer player.
 g}Ot,s teams leave about three times a week for the grounds at Warren. to
 practice for the eOming matches The
 men of inc camp on the teams are
 Englishmeu who learned the game in the old country aud nave a thorouga knOwledeg of what they are about
 The games should prove interesting to the people of the camp. and nc
 doubt win be well attended.

LOST MAYS HORSE
 FOUND IN HILLS
Oliver Zane, We'll Known Bis bee Mining Man, Missing
 Since Last Tuesday.

Oliver Zane. a man of about forty. and one of the old timers of the camp, has been missing since Tuesday morn ing under circumstances that lead his friends to fear that he has met with foul play. Zane rented saddle horse of the o. K. stables early on the morn ing of the 26th. saying that he was going out across the divide to look al some. claims of his adjoining the Bis. bee Extension properties. He declar ed his intention of returning before night. Up to midnight last night he had failed to return
 4 circumstance which lends color to the theory that he has met with a serious accident or with foul play came to light yesterday afternoon. 4 driver from over the divide. who put his horses up at the stables last night reported that he had seen a dark bay horse: answering to the description of that ridden by Zane. running loose in the hills. The horse was saddled and bridled. If the man does not show up this morning his friends are plan. ming to organize a searching party foi him.

INSANE PATIENT
 FlEEs HOSPITAL
Arrested In Lowell on Charge 0runkenness-ApparentN
 In Good Condition.

Some time "Wednesday night John Christensen. a patient at the C. c. hos pital. escaped from under the eyes of the ward attendants and fed to parts unknown. Early Thursday morning the people of Johnson's addition com plained to Inc Lowell officers that an insane man was soaring the wits out of all the women and children of the place. Deputy Sheriff Frank Bauer arrested the man under the imprea- sion th2t he was intoxicated.
 When arraigned before Justice MRi- phy the man murmured iucoheTently and appeared to be in a daze II took but a few moments 10 determine that the prisonsr was not guilty Of any crime. Friends came in and iden. tined him as Christensen. It then de. yeloped that the unfortunate mad had escaped from the hospital while in q delirium of fever. and that he had suffered exposure and arrest while in that condition. The strangest part is that he seems to show no bad effects from his experiences. He is again in the hospital. where ne is to all ap. pearances again in his normal mind.

JAKOB .SCRNIO D0KS

Win lnaugurate a Water En- terprise By Sinking an
 independent We'll,

Jacob Schmid Is on the war path. and if he makes good his statements he will sink a well in the rear of his block on Brewery GuIch for the pur- pose of furnishing water for that sec. tion of Bisbee.
 The reason given by SIr. Schmid for this movement grew out Of the re (usal of the Bisbee-Naco Water com pxny to grant him the privilege of connecting up all his buildings with tais company to insure fire protection.
 T felt that we could not take too great precaution to prevent fire in Bisbee," said MT. Schmid, and it gas with this end in view that ask d to connect up the buildings in rhich was interested. I did not ask the company to defray the ex' peuse, as it would add no revenue to ths water company. but I was willing 70 go to this extra expense to better protect the property in my district

So Says Walter Douglas in Reference to the Globe
 Labor Trouble.
SHUT DOWN TO CORRECT
 uNDESiRED CONDITION
If Union Tries to Force Recog- hilton From Old Dominion
 It Will Not Succeed.

Over at Globe there has been some fool talk concerning the cause of the shut down by the Old Dominion ano other mining cosnpanfcs in that dis trict. A man who returned to Tucson frcn Close said that there was an opinion in Globe that the shut down of the mines in thGt district was caused by the falling of the price of copper and he said that there was m expectation al Globe, or at least an expressed opinion there that Butte and probably Bisbee would stop worH as, a means of boosting the price On copper Regarding these statements at Globe this paper asked Walter Douglas. general manager of the Cop per Queen, if there was any found2- ton fo- such talk
 Absolutely no neason for aRy such talk" said Mir Douglas. The p-ioc of copper has nothing to do with it.
 The shut down et Globe was be cause some of the union officials 1ao violated many of the regulations oi the company. The policy of the Old Dominion at Globe, as 1 understand II, is that it will confer with none but it's own employees and tEat 1t will not agree to have any union committees or walking delegates interfering with the work in hand or with those em- ploye6 to carry 1t On.
 The labor trouble al Bisbee two years ago was started by the union when it demanded recognition by send ing a committee for a conference with tho management. of the Copper Queen and other eOrrfpaufez in fbp district This conference with a union commit tee was refused and tdCv attempt to ciosss up our works followed. 'fha condition at Globe today is much the Sarne.
 'I do not expect that the union viii get any more recognition in Globe than it got in ii}sbee. Whenever the men at Globe are ready to go to work without this recognition | have nv doubt that the companies there win resume operation at once. as the shut down was not in the remotest degree caused by the price CT production oI copper. but was solely for t-ae puT- pose of remdying objectionable eod- ditions in that district. When these objectionable conditions are remov- I'd. I believe the district will proceed again as before.
 The conditions in Bishee are en- tirely satisfactory to the companies here and there Is no possibility of this district being in any way effected by the trouble at Globe. and so far as close down on account of the price oI copper or it's over production. there IS not a possibility of suca a thing.

'kid' Selby, In Training Here, Had An Idea Birds Coming In Droyes Would Run Over Him.

Kid Selby. wko Aas been in training in the Sulphur Springs valley. return ed this week. and will remain in Bis bee for the next eight weeks He will not fight Billy de Courtney, as he had arranged to do. as the latter has been defeated in n recent scrap and ne does not care 10 meet in the match which was expected to be pulled of at Fl Centro on' the 27th of February. Selby is trying to arrange 9 match with John Reider. of Los Angeles. to be fought at Fl Centro. the contest to take place during the month of March.
 During his work in his training quarters Kid Selby had the misfurtune 10 suffer sprain which has been a scriona intolerance to his work.
 Although Kid Selby claims to be a fighter from the word go he lays no claim 10 being a bowling success as E snipe hunter. In fact. he believes he Is a hodoo. for he held a sack for several hours during one of the dark. est nights which ever settled down over the valley. and not a snipe show I'd up.
 ''You see it was like this" said Sel- by in explaining the midnight hunt ing expedition to a reporter. Tho boys said that they were running pret- ty low on game and that something would have to be done if they fared as well as they had since going into training quarters. Snipes, they re- ported. were very plentiful and were easily bagged by being driven into a sack volunteered to hold the sack if no one else cared to. and permit those of experience to go out upon the prairie and round up the birds. T got the biggest gunny sack which could be found, lit my lantern so the birds conld sec their way to the sack, and braeed myself for the onrush of the game. for I was told that the birds would come in such great droyes that they would run right over me. and a great many would escape. We couldn't afford 10 have a single ono get away"
 ''In a little while every fellow had a lantern glittering over th3 valley, and it began to sound like they were driving a herd of burros. Look cut there. don't let 'em pass; head that fellow of. be sure to round up that large, juicy. fat one and hundred other yells rang out on the night air. till l thought they were simply | coming by the hundreds.
