A return contest is to be bowled at the Bisbee alleys at an early date, to be announced later.
 An unusual interest has been de- veloped in bowling during the winter. This has doubtless been stimulated by the awarding of prizes. both for high score and high average. Both scores and averages have shown steady ad- Vances
 The interest in billiards has kept abreast with that in bowling. The billiard tournament prizes arrived foi distribution yesterday. c. O. NOrdin, with a most cOmmendable score. was awarded a s4.50 cue. Francis Thomas who was a clcse second. is to receive a cue valued at S3.J0.

VISITORS VIEW
 WATER PIPE
 ON RAMPAGE
Some Thought 1t a Fountain, Others a GeySer, Some d Spring-Plumber Spoils Ro- mantle Train Of Thought.

Passengers on the incoming stub train this morning were treated to a sight which was the source of many conflicting theories and conclusions. Just at the scene of the subway blast ing operations they be.iel1 mighty column Of water rising to height of thirty feet or more. and flooding every thing and everybody in sight.
 Why. it's fountain. said one pas senger. "Bisbee must be building a park"
 70. look at that beautiful geyser," gushed an elderly lady. That's what | came all the way from Raode Island to see"
 Its an intermittent spring" ex- plained a digniged old gentleman to the group which was rapidly collect ing about the phenomenon in dispute. And just 10 illustrate his point he stuck his cane in the midst of the stream and right at the apparent point of its source. The resuH must have surpassed his widest expectations. His experience was similar to that Of the man who takes his first walk un- der Niagsra without 8 guide.
 The next invest gator was Of 8 more cautious and scientific turn of mind. This was Oscar Wager the foreman of the pipe filters who lo0E after tho city's water piping. Wager's diag- nosis differed from tIat Of the old gentleman in certain miner dcta Is. According to Wager tle wafcr es ai's from city water pipe whieh runs down from the great tanks that hold the miRS water. h t3uch of reIiabil- ity is given 10 this theory by snl fact that the "geyser" subsidsi al- most immod ateiy after this pipe was cut off just back Of tle library.
 1t seems that water which is satu- rated with copper has a tendency to rust the pipes through which it is conducted 4 Mexican laborer had stuck his pick into the rusted pipe. with the result that he was almost drowned the next minute. Immediate ly the fountain had begun 70 spout with all the glad abandon of its tremendous and unchecked pressure from the mountain side.
 Last Sunday almost identically the >same thing happened further up tns hillside. A huge rock blasted from the ledge which is to serve as 8 foundation for the new city fire tank dropped on the exposed pipe and knocked out large hole. A new joint of pipe was put in within a few hours. Such accidents endanger tae safety of the city by threatening the water supply. That is the reason Oscar Wager sad his. assistsnts- sal- ways make such sn effort to repair the damage as speedily as possible.

ONE SROE TOELESS
 THE OTHER SOLELEss
Both Are Tied To DiIapidated
 Trunk, Supposed Property Bride and Groom.

The local baggage department Of the Southwestern is in a state of quandary over the arrival yesterday of a most curious unchecked trunk It is only an ordinary travelling trunk such as any lady might take with her upon a brief visit, but it is labeled over with most weird collection of symbols, done in chalk
 On one end appears the legend: From St. David" in a rude scrawl. This is the only clue to the identity and Dr. aWtson working together could not unrayeI the mystery on snca vague evidence. The question is, where is the check?
 But the thing which has the bag gageman guessing is the dilaDidated old pair of shoes which are attached tc the clasp. One shoe is soieless; the other toeless. Both are impos- sfble as articles of foot apparel Baggageman Ludwig is wondering whether these shoes are to be taken as an indication of the value of the contents of the trunk itself. He is afraid the owner will not asflear to claim his property. But after ali ii may only mean that brand new bride and groom are coming to make their home in this city. Baggageman Lnd wig would be the first to extend them the hand of welcome. if this theory should prove Co be the true why and wherefore of the sifaatioD.

 At the Gleason shaft, owned by Jno. Gleason, there are six men employed in siiking the shaft and this number will be increased on the 18th mot. when night shift will be put on.
 After leaving Gleason you meet many freishters hauling out ore and returning with timbers and mining supplies.

FOR CHICKEN
 RESULTS IN DISASTER
Miner Of Lowell Must Spend
 f50 Days Deprived of ToothSome MorSeI.

When one George W, Simpson, of Lowell. clandestinely lifted some thirty Or more of the Farrangh brothers prize chickens he launched himself into a sea of trouble wh ch was later to engulf him clear to tn, ears. George W. was hungry for chickens. Being q miner by profes sson, it never occurred to tim that ne had any time to manage chicken ranch Of his own. And he hungereo for chicken.
 1lis yearaiEg tc set his teeth into a real spring fry came to he an oesession with George w. New when maa comes to think of u0thing else bpt. chicken. wieg he efFeans' or chicken, it Is high time that his neigh bors were putting padl0cks on their hin house dOO's," for such man win nave chicken, and it doesn't al ways matter whose chicken it is. either
 One eyening-nOte that the time WAS eyening-G. W. hitched up his buggy and drove with feverish has,s to the sulphur Springs valley. It was a good eighteen mile drive. but theI. tle man wanted chicken, and what were a few miles more or less to him? The testimony introduced at the in fatuated Georges trial showed that the buggy he drove had a certain wheel that didn't track just right. 1t was as though KisInet had deereed that Georges very eagerness for chicken should lead him into this houndering sea of trouble. Alas fuf George. th's same lame wheel left a devious trail right rom ais house near the Saginaw mine to the chicken ranch of the Farraughs. No blood hounds were required in the tracking of poor George.
 All of these facts were developed at the u'ai in Justice Llrphy's coBu. And there 1t was developed, also. that George is not the only man in Lowell who has 2 nlania fur tla tSoth- some unIlet. George was found vth only a part of the FarTaEsh fowls in his possession At least haif of them were he'd as prisoners in the hen GOODS of one C. M Eastop and enc James Watkins, both of the Win wood addition.
 Judge Murphy, after due delibera ticn and the careful consultation of divers pouderous legal books, gave t as his opinicn that no mere mana for chicken could be allowed to excuse a man who had been stealing other recple's chickens. He "allowed' that 1t would establish too dangerous a precedent.
 Chicken raising ought to be en- couraged ratier than discouraged in this community" said the judge George w. was. therefore, asked to pay fine of $150 % and costs. That made Georges chickens cost him something like s5.90 each They can be bought in the regular markets for much less. Eastop is out on S25000 bail and will be tried as aa ac- comn'ice next Thursday afternoon. Watkins was released on his own recogniZance.
 Simpson. in lieu of fine, must I've n Tombstone one day for each dol lar, and subsist on Q diet of triples and bread.

RANCHERs' WATER RIGHTS
Supreme Court Says Water Compan ies Are Not Judges of Land
 Titles.

The Supreme Court of California has decided that it is not the function of mutual water company in Imper- ial Valley to adjudicate land titles, and that the business of such com pany is to deliver water to holders of water stock.
 The cases of James McNair against Water Go. No. 1 and J. J. Miller against Mo- 8 were at bar on appeal from the Superior Court, which had refused to issue writs of mandate compelling the delivery of water. Nc Nair occupied land claimed by Edgar and Miller held tract claimed by an- other as a school section. Both had been upheld in their possessory rights by the Appellate Court. In the Mil Ter case the Supreme Court says: Tn the case at bar the stockholders right to have water furnished on his land is not based on any special con tract entered into by him with the corporation. It is rather an insepar- able adjunct of his membership and it is the plain duty of the corpora ton to furnish him with water"
 The court also holds that the stock holder is an owner or the land within the meaning of the articles of incor- poration if he holds and occupies. the land, and the water company cannot raise the question of the stockholders title to his land.
 A similar ruling was made in the McNair case, Both actions are re- manded to the Superior Court of Inn perlal County for proper judgment by that court,
