Douglas has on it's hands today something like eighty additional Mex leans as one result of the row on the Mexico and Colorado traeklaying out it yesterday when a foreman named Murphy was beaten up thoroughly Dy a gang of incensed Mexicans, who, to further humiliate the foreman. took possession of his Winchester rife. This in brief is the story Of the af- fair which was at first thought so se- rious as to cause every available off ficer in the city to hurry out to the scene prepared for any emergency.
 The party after interviewing both foreman and Mexicans got the i'm pression that the foreman was not entirely blameless in the row which was precip tated. The trouble arose over a difference as to pay cheeks. the impression being that the foreman was over-zealous in getting given re suits for the smallest possible cost. The Nexicans complained of certain deductions made in their checks. it is said and then the row proper started
 When it reached a certain po'nt Mur- phy procured a Winchester rife, but apparently. he never had a chance to use it. The Mexicans closed in on him and proceeded to handle him very roughly, beating him up about the head. He also was stabbed in the arm with a blunt weapon of some sort. The Mexicans seemed satisfied with relieving Murphy of his rifle and the beating they gave him, for no at tempt was made by them to use the gun. though the foreman was entire ly at their mercy. Withdrawing from , the field of combat. the rife was stored in the tent of one of the Mexi- cans and the rest of the gang awaited developments. These came with the arrival of the officers from Douglas. Roth Murphy and the Mexicans talked | frankly about the matter. The lead CT of the Mexicans said they simply i had stood up for their rights. and displayed a conciliatory attitude.
 I've did not want to hurt Murphy, | he sad. but when he got his Win chester out we thought 1t would be
 safer for all parties concerned if we l took it away from him. which we | did" He turned the rife over e
 Marshal James East.
 l The Mexicans were through with
 Murphy and Murphy had enough oi them so they quit the service of the | Southwestern both through resigna ton and discharge and came into Douglas last evening. The company did not send them out of here to E Paso and most of them are in Doug Has today. They camped in body or lthe outskirts of the city last night al ithe suggestion of Marshal East
 There were about eighty in the par lty. and. while their defection leaves lthe tracklaying outfit short-handed
 the work continues, there still being
 q big gang on the job.

NOT 4 coRPoREaL DELIGHT.
Real Natur. of the Kiss, ss Viewed by Writer Who Has Clearly
 sa-cied the Subject.

It Is the fashion of the more bilious norafists to put kissing among the gross pleasures, with eating. yodfng, snoring and the use of tobacco; hut. as a matter of fact, it Is not a corpor- cal delight al all. says writer ir ths Baltimore Sun. Its sole physical 2c- compartment. indeed. is a sensation of sGfsocation, and this, as all will ad- nit. is scarcely agreeable. No; the insidious charm of the pastine must be sought in it's psychic effects-in it's marvellous and delightful interference with the normal processes of ratioci- nation. 4 man kissed is man trans figured and transmogrified. Let him be the worst of misanthropes before the sweet impingement of nose upon nose, and he may yet emerge from the turmoil a philanthropist.s One kiss. properly stage-managed. is enough to transform a pirate into poet, poll tician into q philosopher, or vice yer sa. One small kiss. indeed, is sUffi- cient to turn a proud. heaven-kissing bachelor into a servile married man the most stuDeneous. antipodal and lamentable transformation possible, at this writing. in mere human being.

 The doves, which during the win ter months. migrate to the warmer Sonora climes, have just begun to re- turn and hunters are not slow te take advantage of the sport while il is at its best.
 Each Sunday there are quite 8 number of sportsmen who go a short distance outside of the city and ba quite a number of doves.
 Within a short time. the Sonoru pigeons which are considerably lare CT than doves and fully as good fol eating win be making their return trips to this country and will afford additional sport for the hunters.

FIRE AT MORALES PEOPLE RESCUED

NOGALES, Ariz., April 29.-Fire broke out in the Wylie block, in No gales, at midnight. At the time of the fire T. J. Wylie and family. con sisting of his wife and four small children, were in bed in the upper story of the building. The siren whistle just installed by the fire de partment did splendid service, walk ing the whole town in very few minutes
 By the time the firemen began to arrive with the.r ladders from the fire house. the fire was already so far along that there was no escape by way of the stairs. Eddie Mix, a fireman, and J. M. Ritz. arrived on the scene first and carried the ehil dren down. T. J. Tonkin, a fireman. arrived a moment later The fire had spread so rapidly. it left Mrs. Wy lie on the front porch without escape. Tonkin went to the rescue, carrying her down the ladder.
 The fire started in Leeker's store in the lower story of the block. In an hour the block was wiped out com. pletely.
 wylie has insurance but Leeker re ported no insurance.
 Several valuable pianos in the base ment are a total loss.
 A whole block of buildings on South Orawfcyd street wou'sl have been wiped out but for the tin and adobe buildings.
 Theodore Gebler and wife in an ad- joining building to the burned block were carried out from an upper story by Nj. T. McClary and Jose Grijalva who carried them down to safety Gebler is an old time well known merchant MeClary and Gr.jalva were the first men to arrive at the fire The loss is probably s25,000.

The traders stu stick tc the impression that there, Is something wrong with the mine and jump in to sell the stock any time it shows signs of reacting. Several of the houses here are distinctly bearish on the stock, principally because they get their customers out of the bot tom and the shorts are working off lower prices.

This action was the result of Miller's re- fusiDg to testify when placed on the stand. although the government at torneys had written statements from him covering the facts. It is believed that his refusing to testify will give him no excuse for asking clemency from the court
 It is the intention of the govern ment attorneys to continue the prose cution of Maynard and others. the next charge to be taken up being that of conspiracy in Illegally assist ing to bring Chinese into the United States.
