IWEAIY.EIGHT IRE
 CARS WERE DISABLED

Twenty-eight ore ears were tenn porarily rendered unfit for use at an early hour Monday morning by some miscreant who severed the air hoses on each with some sharp instrument The cars were standing near the Irish Meg shaft of the c. & A. company.
 Before the down trip with the cars was begun the engineer discovered that something was wrong with his air and investigation proved that each air hose had ben so badly hacked that il was entirely beyond the hope of repair.
 Tue hose was replaced Monday ar lternoons and according to Local Agent Graves, an effort will be made to catch the man or men who so effectually disabled the ore transpor- tation service of the local yards.

SMOKED \ PILL RECOVERED
 VOICE

"oh, Gee."
 This characteristic ejaculation fol- lowing being choked by cigarette smoke. was the first words which had passed the lips of Harvey Hughes. aged 20 years, the son of E. E., Hughes Of this city, for thirty-three days 4 species of vocal paralysis which had hold upon his organs of speech left him and today he talks as well as anyone.
 Young Hughes, when interviewed yesterday told very peculiar story, but one vouched for in every partic- ular by those who know him well.
 While at work in a local butcher shop for which he was deliyeryman. he was suddenly overcome by faint ing spell and had to be assisted to his home. He was unconscious for several hours and when he came to his senses could not utter a word, nor even whisper, having to resort to writing to communicate with oth- CTS.
 Saturday night was the end of the thirty-third day during which he had been tormented by his strange affic. tion. He was sitting upon the front porch of his fathers home smoking a cigarette when he became choked up- on the smoke he had inhaled. After a fit of coughing he started in the house and was again overcome by the choking sensation. Following this .le gave vent to the very natural ex. clamation given above Since the re- covery of his speech young Hughes has been busily engaged in hunting up friends and talking to them to make up for the time he lost while dumb.
 The case is one of the strangest ever transpiring in Bisbee. Whether the lesson to be drawn from it is thal cigarettes are good for the dumb, is not for a layman to say.
