There were burning words ut
tered in the city council last night
over the proposition Of who shall
pay for the $4,000 damages as
sessed by the court for taking II
feet off of the west side Of Division
street, Buckeye to the north city
limits.
Every councilman except the
father Of the widening plan, Coun-
Gilman Nelson, had his hammer out
for the plan, which is tied up for
the present, pending decision Of
the council as to whether or not It
wants to 90 ahead with the i'm
provement and dig up the cold,
hard cash that will be necessary, II
the city asks the court to enter
the order Of condemnation. The
matter has already been tried In
the courts and the decision is help
up.
Councilman Nelson had the mat
ter passed by the council by reso-
luton, without a petition by the
property owners. He said that he
had consulted a majority of the
property owners and that they
were in favor of the undertaking
In reply to the objections of too
much Division street, urged by
some of the councilmen, Nelson
shouted Sprague avenue fill at
Funk, Monroe bridge at Mohr and
Hangman creek fill at Lambert and
Schiller. Nelson was apparently
much nettled over the fact that his
councilmanic colleagues were find
ing fault with his pet measure for
Division street.

 The paper used in printing the official ballots is of the same qua.,iy as is used for printing the ballots for "a general election. and is the same paper used in the recent prohibition election in Maricopa county.

Lying upton the shotgun which had caused his death. presumably by accidental discharge, the body of Joe Huber was found yesterday morning by a posse ot local officers who went in search of him. lying near the top of the divide. a short distance to she left Of the main road.
 When Huber did not return home Monday night. the officers were nou- fed and resolved to begin search Tor him early yesterday morning. which they did.

He, to- gether with Constable McRae ..srd the O. K. Undertaking company's wa gon. left for the divide and brough. the dead man back to town.
 The body was found lying at fuli length. face downward. He had eN'- dently leaned upon the gun, which was known to have been his habit. and the weapon somehow exploded. The shot took effect ih his heal. which was literally riddled with bull lets. the face being almost unrecoe' nizeable as belonging to human be ing. He had evidently been dead since Sunday.

 These spasms have been frequent of late. and are usually supennduoed by an over-ardent desire to discredit some democratic official. whether of the city os Bisbee or the county Si Cochise

 The methods ascribed to Mir. Bowen member Of the board of supervisors was the appointment by him of the election o'icers and the awarding hY him of tho contract for printing the official ballots for the election Tu0ay oE such a quality of paper which would easily permit the inspector io see h.g the voter cast his ballot.
 Thcartic shows gross nhsunde.- standing of the true facts. When tue board O.. supervisors met to appoins the eiectiaOn officers for the prohibi- tiol election throughout the coHntT. Mr. Bowen. the member from Dishoe. was requested hy the board to submit a list Of names of officers for Bisbe ?. Lowell and Warren. Mir. Jacob Shear CT. membcr of the board from Doug las. was requested to suggest the names of election officers for his dis frict and the clerk O. the board vas instructed 10 select the officers for the country precincts from the list of voters in those precincts.
 After the appointments were made several vacancies arose. NIT. Shearer was notified at Douglas by the clerk that some vacancies existed in the Douglas election board and they were filled hy the member of the board from Douglas MT. Bowen was noii- fed that vacancies occurred in Bisbec and he proceeded to furnish the board clerk with new names until an cleo ton board that would serve had beea secured. In pursuing this course, Mir Bowen and Mir. Shesrer were act ing in accordance with instructions given them by the board at it's meet ing. and by and with the consent Of of the full beard. Y is more than likely that when the polls are opened this morning it win be found that still vacancies remain to be filled. notwithstanding the appointments of the hoard and if such be the case the voters at that time assembled wIll proceed e. fll tho vacancies.
