Black Hand' Shows
 Up in Tombstone

Has Tombstone "Black Hand?" lt would appear SD from a thresreB- ing letter received today by J. K Lapsley, the Tombstone sho maker and one of the jurors ID the famous revoiutionist cases of Magon, Villareal and Rivera, convicted last week of violating the neutrality cases of the United States and who have been since sentenced to Is moaths in the tsrrito- rial penitentisry.
 The lstter is written in s scrawl, tie evident intention oi the writ heios 'o disguise the writing although sanso can be easily deciphered It is writtec on small sheet oi writing paper and starts of with a fierce wsrning. follow ed by threat tn blow up his place rf business at s o'clock sharp tonigh, and signed by the gre ssoma s<ull and cross Dpnes, w;th the added signature of "Black Hand Revolutiouists," which was calculated to strike terror to the heart of the reader
 Mir. Lspslev states that some one rattled his front door about 10 o'clock last night and he heard foot steps rapidly leaving. He paid no attention to the incident until this morning 2 when he found note pushed under his door. It was the brief "Bl.ck Hand" warning ths. his place of husi- ness would be bio .n up at o'clock to. night. No reason was assigned and no further enlightment shed on the subject. Mir. Lspsley delivered the epistle to the authorities who have t.ken the matter in hand and will in- vestigAte same.
 Whether Mir Lspsley was made ] victim of practical joke or not, he states he has overheard deri-ive Ye- marks made by sympathizers on sey- eral occasions, aimed at the jurors who convicted the revolutionists. While Mir Lapsley is not alarmed i, Is not likely that any "Blsck Handite" could do much damage about his place ot business and escape unharmed. Be iug a veteran soldier and good shot with several guns handy, the juror would not :orego chance to wing the destructive individual co tuIl oi dlre threats, should he sppear-which i- highly improbable.
 As ia ss known no other juror has : received Black Hand" warnin. and mean while the latter is bsrng invest igared by the authorities.
