INJURED TO POVERTY AND TOLL
Natives of Shsntuno Province Live
 Lives Of Wretehedness.

Of Shantung province. China, a cor respondent writes: "A little more than a generation ago one Of the greatest famines in the memory of man spread devastation in the great over populated sections of the west of this province and now famine faces he stoical tOllers Of the land once again. The Shantnngese illustrate well the low Of the suryiyei of the fttest. for such dire poverty only per nits the strong ones to live, with the result that we find sturdy men of great endurance all over this province. Lfv- 'ng on the land. which barely produces saticiency for Shantnne's teeming millions, the people have become hardy, for they are hardened to all kinds of privations. Their brains are 1eadened by ceaseless toll and this may account for the reputed backward ies5 of this province in progress along commercial and industrial lines. A i-S5 lorg suffering people would have a revolution eyery year. It is aa axiom with westerners that dlscon. tent Is an absolute condition Of prog.

 The high school basket ball teams of Bisbee both boys and girls for this year. are undoubtedly the best in the history of the highs, and Bis bee should be proud of the record they have made in bringing to the camp the championship of the terri tory. The game Saturday will be plsysd in the gymnasium of the local Y. NJ. c. A. Owing to the fine exhibi- ton the boys have heretofore given, 1t is probable that there will be a good sized crowd out to the game.

MONTE JACK LOST
 GRABBED BONNET Wherefore He Had to Explain to Court and Jury His
 Conduct

< farce in the way of court trial was pulled of yesterday afternoon in Justice Bu-dick's court when the time of twelve men, the court and an attorney were taken up by a quarrel between some negroes over a bonnet. alleged in the complaint to be valued at fifty cents. The jury sas out for half an hour and brought in a yerdic, of not guilty.
 As well as could be cSccrtainea from the evidence at the trial. Monte Jack, a well known negro about the camp, played somo negro woman a game of "coon-can" or some like game Tor the drinks. He ayers he had only twenty-five cents with him. and that he md figured on getting the beer on credit. The woman took no chances. however. and nabbei the money as soon as he lost.
 In explaining the ca a5e 10 the jury 'fcr Ncnte acted as lp- Cwn counsel) the defendant put it thus: "I wants to tell you gentlemen l was hongry Snd oisn have but that two bits. knowed I could set that ieer on de credit. and when dem wo.aen folks '1ok dat money jast naturally grab bec the first bonEet that showed up and hung onto it. l glv' icm to under stand that was my Quahtah and the bonnet was mine til got de money"
 The jury was composed of men who evidently synpathized with the de pleted condition of the negro's financ- es. and held that so long as he stood ready to fill his contract of filling the crowd up on beer, it was beyond the rights of the plaintiff to forcibly ac- quire possession of his sole two bit piece" that stood between him and starvation.

 The high school rallied in the last half and by more perfect team work won the game by a score of 9 to 15.
 In the Y. NJ. c. A. game it was evi- dent that the Y. M. c. A. players were in to win. Although two new men were in the game. the team work of the Y. Nj. c. A. team was excellent, and at the end of the first hagf the score stood 2S to Is. The final score was 35 to 25.
 Potts, a new man at the game, showed up well with the more exper- fenced players. new man, Mengs, will prove a strong addition to the '. NJ. C. 4. team.
