ever brought to the station house
came in yesterday morning IN the per-
son of Ely Holloway, colored, who was
arrested on the charge of stealing a
number OF articles of clothing from
a fellow inmate of his boarding house
In Rockets.
Ely did not appear to possess more
than the average amount of sense
and when asked about the case readily
ackno wledged that he had taken the
articles in question. He gave no ex-
cuse for his misdeed. contentlng him
self with the simple statement that
he wanted and needed the clothes and
that consequently he took them.
He will appear bsfore Justice Brown

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
NEARING THE FINISH
Able and Dunn Beat Ashby and Dun
can and Epes and NC Murran
Win From Bailey and Bailey.

Only two of the matches in the
Young Mems Christian Association
tennis tournament in doubles were
played yesterday afternoon, Abbe and
Dunn winning fro Asbby ana Duncan
by the score of 60. GO. while McMur-
ran and Epes defeated their rivals,
Bailey and Bailey, to the tune OF 6-3,
6-3. The playing at all times was
first class and kept the interest OF
the small knot Of spectators keyed
to the highest pitch.
Although Able and Dunn won
twelve games to their opponents four,
all were holly contested and in each
instance were won by narrow mar
gin. Bailey and Bailey the losers in
the other set did little better, win
ming six games against twelve for
their opponents. This contest was
practically the same as the other,
each CT the games being fought TO
the bitter end, and the victorious
team, McMurran and Epes, only hay-
ing a slight advantage at the end OF
each game.
AS whole the players showed re-
markable form for the little time they
have had-to practice this spring and
the playing was of the first class Or
der.
Owing to the fact that there have
been numerous postponements on ac-
count of the weather, there were COM
paratively few spectators at the games
yesterday and these were mostly
players who will enter the tournament
a. some later day. However, in the
past the tournaments have always at
tracted a crowd interested in the
sport and when this years matches
get into full swing no doubt each eve
ming will see large crowd on hand.
The contest will in all probability
be finished by the end of this week
and next Saturday night drawings tor
opponents in the championship tour
name mt in singles will be held. There
viii possibly be as many as forty con-
testants in this class.

This week petition is being circu-
 lated in Kingman and surrounding towns praying the Board of Superyis- ors to call an election of the voters of
 all the region lying south of the Colo
 rado river to register their views on
 prohibition. This takes in the camps of White Hills, Chloride, Gold Basin, Music Mountain, Blackberry, Peach Springs, Kingman, Cerbat, Todd and
 Union Basins, Union Pass, Goldroad, Oatman, Fort Mohave, Yucca, Cedar, San Francisco, Sandy, Signal, Mo- Cracken and every mining camp in all the country lying between Bill Will jams Fork, on the south, and the Col orado river on the north, the Colorado river on the west, and the Yavapai and Coconino county lines on the east. To bring this matter before the board petition of fifty qualified voters of the county must be presented and the board of supervisors then calls an cleo tion to be held in all the polling places designated by the board. It is prob able that the petition will be filed with the board at it's meeting in October or sooner. The calling up of this matter at this time is creating a great deal of discussion, but what the final outcome will be is purely conjecture.

Collie is one of the most severe and painful diseases. It is quite common too. Almost everyone has an occas- ional attack. Fortunately there is a remedy that always affords quick re- lief and that has never been known to fail in any case. It is called Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Tod Robinson, prominent merchant of Point Blank, Texas, says: "I have had several attacks of collie and in every instance one dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy relieved me, and I nev- CT had to take more than two doses to effect cure" For sale by H.
