COLORED LADY
 WOULD ATTACH
 SHOW BAGGAGE
But Judge High Refuses Writ Because There is No Legal Evidence of Debt By Trouba- dourS.

When Miss N. M. Petty. colored. who conducts massage parlor on To. K. street. endeavored to get out an attachment against the show-troupe of one John Spikes. also colored. in Justice Highs court the other day. the story of how the band of colored 1 thespians known as the Ethiopian Troubadours. who played two-night stand in Bisbee recently, was organ ized was brought to light
 Spikes, who runs the show. was for merly a resident of Bisbee, but when here the most he did, it is alleged, was to engage in divers games or draw. stud and pitch at a certain club here conducted by colored men; that is. when he could find anyone to stake him. He was generally broke, and according to the story told by the Petty woman. she went good for numerous bills, including "pie-cards. lodging. and even clothing In all the sum amounted to $200 or more, she said
 Spikes has deived into the show business before. and his shows have generally amounted to making few .'one-nights" and then going against the proposition of no money to take them to the next town, with baggage held Tor board. This time Spike's brother. however. staked him to the outfit. the show was organized else where, and later came to Bisbee.
 Then Spikes explained to Miss Pet " that he would pay her the amount just as soon as he could. when the show began to pay, etc, promising 1t in small lots. So far. however, not a picayune of that S2OO has been sighted.
 Miss Petty heard that the show was going to exhibit in Benson last night and thinking Spikes was go- ing too far away from Cochise coun- ty anyhow. and taking jumps from which she feared he would never re- turn. she wanted Justice High to !, make sure of him while he was in the l county.
 Have you Spikes acknowledge i ment of the debt" she was asked.
 No. I signed several notes with him but never took and signed paper from him; only his word
 Then the judge informed her that, | although sorry, he could do nothing owing to her having accepted nothing more substantial than his word that he would pay, somehow, sometime. With a muttered exclamation. "Stung
 again. the Petty woman left the
 court room and unless her arts of pursuasion are good she will be minus the s200 for some little time, probably.
 while the colored show troupe under Spikes management tours merrily on until the inevitable happens.

ARIZONA SHEEP ARE.
 FREE FROM SCAB
LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD GIVES OUT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR TERRITORY.

The Arizona sheep sanitary com
 mission held quite an important meet
 ing and certainly a very pleasant one

 plished, on Tuesday last, in Phoenix

 torial veterinarian of the commission.
 were present and in addition Dr. NJ.
 Ines of Albuquerque. in charges of
 federal sheep inspection in New Mexi-
 co and Arizona. and Dr. Harman in charge of the inspection in Arizona under Dr. Ines.
 The gentlemen discussed the results of the general dipping of sheep last fall and of the inspection on the range since then. The conditions were found to be so satisfactory that the commission decided that the govern ment quarantine on Arizona sheep on account of sheep scabies. should be removed from the entire territory ex- cept Apache and Navajo counties. The facts were reported to Dr. A. D. Mel fAhf NAAtA OA NhC uAlAAAtal HIT dustry. in Washington. and it is be- lieved he will approve the recommen- Gation to that effect. If that is done 1t will mean that hereafter practically all the sheep shipped from the terri tory may be moved withou. the trou- ble and expense of inspection.
 Having been freed from inspection. he sheep owners will be saved from he expense Of general dipping. which t is estimated has in the past cost of thousands of dollars. Other benefits that may be expected from new conditions are a better grade e sheep. better quality of wool. B heavier annual lamb crop. There will also be obviated the annoyance Of having to wait for inspection every time one wants to ship consignment of sheep. Altogether the sheepmen now have the same cause for rejoicing that the catlemen had when the an was made that the ter ritory was practically freed from the ravages of the Texas fever tick.

COST IF BEEF NOT VARIED IN
 LAST l0 YEARS
Prices the Same Here All the Year Around, With No h. crease Planned By the Bis bee Dealers

According to local meat dealers, per sons who have read accounts of the advance in the price of beef and nut ton in the east. and have therefore sworn of on everything but pork, are laborfng under a mere hallucination. Meats have not gone up in Bisbee. and the fact remains that On a com parison of prices of beef and mutton as they are now with those of eight and ten years ago. it is identically the same. Nevertheless. many pat rons of the butcher shops. reading of the boycott in the papers, have re- solved to get in line without stopping to investigate prices. The butchers are noticing it in g falling off of beef and mutton purchases.
 Yes. it is true that trade is sui, fering." siaie J. Mosher. the Main street butcher. the ether day when the proposition was put up to him. But that's where people are wrong These conditions absolutely do not exist in Bisbee. l am one Of the old. est meat dealers in the business here. and ought to know what I am talking about
 You can buy a good steak now for identically the same prices paid ten years ago. This can be proven by any meat dealer in town going over his tickets of 1900. 1901 and 1902. Poultry has gone up. but that is i'm ported. Pure mutton is also higher. as that is also shipped in, Goat cuts. however, remain the same. Pork has advanced a little on account of being an imported commodity. Poultry and
 pork are about the only meats that are higher.
 Prices of beef remain the same the year round. When we have range
 beef in the spring and summer We do not lower our prices, and that is the only time during the year that the
 butchers are enabled to make enough money to break even with the game.
 and only for three or four months at
 that. The balance of the year the beef is brought here from Phoenix. at increased expense. but We never raise our prices in consequence of this fact. We carry cur customers over the eight
 or nine months of the year without an advance. Therefore, when the
 wild rumors that have absolutely no local effect at all. are being spread broadcast throughout the country, think it is an injustice to the meat dealers of the district for the custom CTS to swear of eating beef. which many of them are now dong, when the price hasn't gone up a cent a pound and will not do so in three weeks or
 three years, as far as We know how. "Of course, it's the peoppie's priyi- lege to eat other meats if they SO de
 sire. but as far as prices are con cerned it is not saving them nickel"

WILLIAMS HAS PLANS IF HOME
 FUR CHILDREN
District Attorney Working On Norty Charity That May Be Established in This District Before Long.

During the recent visits of District Attorney John s. Williams to Bisbes he has been working upon and quietly arranging plans for a children's home, to be looked after partly by the county and partly by charitable societies and personal donations.
 His plan is to secure a tract on some ranch. preferably in the Warren district. where all homeless children. of whom there are so many, may be given proper shelter, education and when they become old enough work the land on shares, the amount they earn to be credited to them for a start in life when they become older.
 It is believed the establishment of a small ranch for children would be- come seif-sustaining within a short time from the sale of the prooucts Of their iabors. while they would re- ceive wages therefor when working. which would be chiefly in the summer In the winter a school in connection with the home. it is figured, would oc- cupy their time.
 Should anyone care to adopt any child out of the home, this could be done from time to time. provided the right kind of people apply for the little ones.
 Should the plan go through. it will be of immense benefit to the charita- ble societies. particularly in the War ren district: relieving them Of consid- -r- f-, fnr for many of the homeless, parentless little ones and enable the charity workers to extend their field in other directions, where their services are urgently needed. The charity de partment of the board of trade is look ing after cases of homeless and neg lected children constantly. providing them with clothing. in some instances food, and then again finding homes for them. This work will be vividly recalled by the action taken in the case of the two colored children a couple of weeks ago, who were sent to relatives in Texas. and that Of the crippled Mexican girl from the Zaca- tecas settlement, Upper Brewery Gulch. a home for whom was found on Q ranch near Wilcox.
 Wherever a case of this kind should come up. the little one could be i'm mediately placed in this shelter home until some one could be found to adopt the child, else it could re main there permanently, until old enough to begin earning it's own liv ing. after proper education.
 My idea is that the charitable SC cieties and church organization; throughout the county take up the matter" said District Attorney Vii Hams. They could inausurate . campaign to secure funds for the To cation and building by giving a SC

 The county should do its part. The board of supervisors will De asked for an appropriation as soon as the plans take definite shape and the leg islature will also be asked to aid the good cause with a special appropria| ton. but a suitable spot, preferably in the Warren district. will not be difficult to find. A donaton of tract of land for this purpose would not come amiss, and might be secured"

If one Of the waves should happen to
crest and break, the water, catching
the tug on her fiat stern deck. would
Individually bury her. The situation
was awful in its extreme simplicity.
Would Captain Marsh see his opportu-
nifty before the law Of chances would
bring along the wave that would over
whelm him?
Two or three of the townsmen walk
ed up and down. One woman prayed
aloud in short hysterical sentences

Orde stood on top of a half buried
log, his entire being concentrated on
the maneuver being executed. Only
Newmark apparently remained as calm
as ever.
Suddenly, without warning. occurred
one of those ineXplicable lulls that in
terpose often amid the widest up
roars. Between two waves the Sprite
darted forward directly for the near
est of the wrecks.
"Shell collide!" some one shrieked.
But the tug syverved and turned on
long diagonal across the end of the
bar.
Marsh had chosen his moment with
eXactltude. He had taken advantage
of the brief lull of jumbled seas after
the "tllree largest waves" had swept
by. Yet in shallow water and with
the strong inshore set. even that lull
was all too short The Sprite was

The crowd surged over to the piers
again. Below them rose and fell the
Sprite. All the fancy scrollwork of her

had disappeared. The tall smokestack
was bent awry.
At sight of Marsh the crowd set up
a yell. He paid no attention. One of
the life saving men tossed a mooring
line ashore. 1t was seized by dozen
men. Then for the first time somebody
noticed that, although the tug had
come to standstill, her screw was

DARING FEATs OF SWIMMERS
Two Remarkable Aquatic Perform
ances That Have Aroused the
Worlds Admiration.

The aquatic feat performed by Jules
Gautier recently is one of the most
remarkable on record. With hands
and feet manacled and his move
ments hampered by rope attached
round his waist to waterman's
skif, he swan over the varsity boat
race course from Putney to Mortlake,
London, England, a distance of four
and quarter miles, in an hour and
half. He finished quite fresh and
clambered into boat without assist.
ance at the end of the swim.
1t is not the first time, however.
that Gautier has swum long distance
with hands and feet tied. Five years
ago he swan from Putney Pier to
Tower Bridge, distance of nine
miles. in just over two hours, with
wrists and hands manacled together,
and has dived from London bridge
at high water similarly handicapped.
Particularly daring, however, was
the feat of a certain music hall artist.
who In October last. jumped from
Westminster bridge into the river
while manacled with an iron band
round his neck, linked with an iron
chain to leg-irons, and five handouts
stretched across his arms. He could
not swim stroke, but was quickly
hauled into boat waiting for him
after he had struck the water.
