course. From the character of previous
engagements of the Dunbar male quar-

other cities and from the numbers or
the star course already given, the

from running away with automobiles
Just who was responsible for the use
of the spike is not yet known, but it
is known that one of the tires on j.
l. Elam's buzz buggy today
contains fair-sized hole as a testi-
monial of the experience through
which it went last night.
Mr.. Elan left the machine near his
home, 1856 Washington street, last
night but overlooked to remove the
plug" when he put on the brakes.
Some time after 10 o'clock unknown
parties discovered the devil cart, and
finding the spark plug in place, pro-
ceeded to take a spin. All went well
until Isaacs avenue was reached,
where the spike apparently got into
play, and the Whizz wagon was con-
signed to the tender mercies of who
ever might find it. Mr.. Elan SAYS
the amount of gasoline and oil in the
tanks shows that the carriage was
used for but a short distance. The ma
chine was not damaged beyond
punctured tire.

in any manner may be said to be con-
tiguous to the church. In time, owing
to the growth of business in this neigh
borhOOd, the possibility of the cree
ton of greater manufacturing and
commercial houses than any at pres
ent there would have made the old
building particularly liable to destruc-
ton by fire. Strangely enough, al

WILL DISCUSS THE PACE BILL
 AT MEETING
Citizens Gathering At Presby- terian Church Tonight to Consider Adoption of Reso- lution On Subject

The public in general is invited to attend a mass meeting which will be held tonight at S:30 at the Preshyte- rian church. This will be immediate ly following athe evening service. and will in no wise be connected with it. As one of the pastors of Bisbee church expressed it yesterday. The
 preachers III have nothing to do with it."
 The object of the meeting is 10 bring out an sxpression from the pub lie regarding the Pace bin and the ! EtLgambling bill The meeting to- night will be presided over by T. N. L.akin, receiver for the defunct First National bank, who is known as .. warm advocate of tae Pace bill and the anti-gambling bill
 The Pace bill. as is known by mos. of the Review readers, is a bill in- uoduced in the present legislature proposing 10 amend the law govern ing local option elections, which at pressnt makes a two-thirds vote neces- sary in orfer to carry the election. so as to require oaiy 3 majority vote. T. is practically . foregone conclusion that at the meeting tonight resoiu- lions will be adopted favoring the passage of the Pace bill
 The meeting will be open to advo- eates of both sides of the question. and 1t is probable that a number Of addresses will be made. The meet ing will have an added interest be cause of the opposition by many. of the church people ana others to the resolutions passed by the Bisbee Board of Trade. wherein they went on record as opposed to the passage of the Pace bill Whatever action is taken at the meeting tonight, a no- tice of the same will be forwarded to the legislature.
