 EXTENSION
Reported That Eastern Contractors May be
 Given Work -
CFrom Tuesdays DaiIy)

Yesterday bids were opened for the completion of the Arizona 6 Califor- nia railroad from Parker to Bengal, distance of about 90 miles
 Attending this important railroad proejct several of the bidders per sonally inspected the line and return ed to this city. Vice President Drake received the offers at his offices in this city, but would make no state ment after the same were opened as to who would be awarded the work
 It is reported, however, that one of the eastern contractors will receive the contract. The grading work will call for an expenditure of several hun dred thousand dollars.
 Some of the most prominent rail road constructors in the country were interested in this project, and among them were the following:
 R. R. Coleman, who formerly was the superintendent of the S. F., P. C r., ana durlng the building or thIs line from Ash Fork to Phoenix was the constructor of the work in the employ of B. Lantry & Sons; E. B. 6 E. L. Stone company of San Fran cisco; John Scott & Sons of St. Louis; The Ware Construction company of St. Louis; Engineer Cone of a Chi eago construction company, and the Los Angeles Construction company.

CHERRY CREEK |s 5 | [ N [ OF
 SHOOTING
D. B. Powell Seriously Wounds Dewitt
 Mil1igan

Sunday evening at about o'clock
 the culmination of a family dispute
 occurred at Cherry Creek. Dewitt
 Milligan was shot and seriously
 wounded by D. B. Powell, his brother
 in-law.
 Leading up to this trouble, it is said that the recent filing of a suit for divorce by MT. Powell from his wife, sister of the wounded man, is the real motive of the deed, but oth- CT than this no information would be given out. Attending the shooting, there are many reports, each side having it's versions to offer, and un- til the evidence is legally presented, the matter will be permitted to rest.
 Milligan was brought to the city last night by his brother, Eugene Mil ligan, and taken to the Mercy hos pital, where he will undergo medical treatment. He was shot through the right shoulder, and the bullet is i'm bedded somewhere in the region of his breast or in the back. It will take the X-Ray to determine exactly the locality. The bullet was of .45 ealibre.
 After committing the deed Powell, accompanied by his brother, V. A. Powell, left the place and came to this city, where he surrender ed himself to Sheriff Smith. He1 was On-eommunieative and refused 1 to discuss the matter in any way.
 At a special session of court in chambers a few days ago, the only matter considered by Judge Doe was the suit of Powell against Powell, an action for divorce on thes part of the man from the woman.
 At that time Judge Doe ordered the husband to contribute the sum of s20 a month toward the support of the woman and her two children, pending action on the divorce pro ,eedings later. This suit was filed in CocOninO county, the parties at that time residing in that eetion. After the trouble arose Mrs. lowell joined her father and mother It Cherry Creek, where also were To- ated her two brothers. The Powells re said to be residents of Coeonino ounty at the present time.
 The affair is generally regretted l y all classes residing on Cherrk 'reek, both parties to the eontro- ersy being highly regarded and each l aving many friends.

 Four games are. to be played in the Labor day baseball tournament.
 One of the contests will take place on Saturday afternoon, one on Sun day afternoon, while the two final frolics-the' ones which will decide who shall pull down the big coin-will be pulled off in the afternoon
 Prescott lovers of the diamond sport will be treated to a real run for their money and if there is one single fan who says at the conclu- sion of the tournament that he has not gotten his moneys worth, then he should migrate immediately to Eng land and watch the exciting and day long almost game of cricket It might serve to stimulate his sluggish blood. Knowing Prescott fans in the past, however, there is not the least grounds for believing other than that every one will get his moneys worth and be entirely satisfied.
 It has not yet been decided who will open the tournament. It is very probable that coins will be tossed to determine who shall enact the leading roles on Saturday afternoon and also on Sunday morning.
 The winners of these two games will play each other in the opener on Sunday afternoon while the two

vanquished teams will scrap it out in the second game to determine who shall receive third prize.
 While Phoenix rules favorite in the tournament, it is by no means a eer- tainty that the Diamond Jos and the Fraternals will not be in the running at the finish.
 Both of these teams are made up of youngsters. They are full of gin ger and pepper and they play the game all the time. Of course they are not as well versed in the tricks of the diamond as some of the older heads but they may be able to offset this by their liveliness. At all events they will let the ball loving populaee know that they have been in the game and if they show up some of the evt- erans, do not be at all. surprised.
 It was the. desire of the committee to have more games but in the limit ed time allowed they could arrange no schedule other than the one that they have at the present time. With four games, however, there. will be 8 fair test of the strength of the teams entered. ..s
 All that can be wished is that the best team may win. Meanwhile all Prescott is hoping that the lucky team will be either the Diamond Jos or the Fraternals.

place where they believed II would be
safe from search while they nego-
tiated the ransom.
This theory was confirmed last
night, when the police were informed
that an inspection of the contents of

clothing and minor articles. I'm
