 Kvitko was captured through the efforts of an enlistment officer at Bowie He had formerly been a member of the Eighth Cavalry Of the United States army, and went to the officer for the purpose Of re-en- listing. He was asked for his dis charge papers. and told the offAcer that he had lost them The officer wired Washington for copy of his discharge papers, and when the re- ply came it was to the effect to hold Kvitko, as he was wanted by the Colorado authorities After the crime was committed the army officers were notified, as it was thought that Kvitko would try to re-enlist.
 He does not deny the crime, but states that it was done in self de- fense, as the man who was shot, he alleges. treatened to fix him. They had been drinking in a saloon together and had some words, and they both went out Adamovich at that time, according to Kvitko. stated that he was going to get him tKvit. ko) Kvitko. to be prepared, went and borrowed a double barrel shot gun, and for fear that it might not work when the time came. according to his statement, he went out and tried it.

SNOW STORM
 TAGGED WRONG
Intended for Northwest It. MiSCarrieS and Lands Before Christmas
 in BiSbee
INCONVENIENCE FOLLOWS

It is all explained now. The snow storm that Bisbee received yester- day was intended for Waupaka, Wis cOnsin, and the mixing of weather department orders resulted in the storm being sent to Bisbee instead. The following A. E Rogram from the chief Of the weather department at Washington explains the error:
 Weather department asks pardon Of Bisbse and Warren district. Snow storm made to order for Waupaka, Wisconsin, and mistake resulted from confusion of orders due to the rush of orders for Christmas weather. Our error"
 Now. therefore. those who had made the statement that 1t never snows in B'sbee-that is. anything that you could really call snow may make good on their assertion by showing the above dispatch. Really it never snows in Bisbee
 Some holidays are made so by legal enatment or by official custom. A snow storm made a holiday in Bis bee yesterday The schools were in session, however. for which everyone is duly thankful. During the noon recess hour yesterday adult Bisbee was just as sure the bound-hand-and foot captive of Young America Bis bee. as, well, as shooting.

 Young America is no respecter of persons, and dignity seemed to ex- ercise an influence like that of a magnet on snow balls. One Promi- nent Citizen got his "dicer" mashed in; another caught a snowball in his mouth. and another got black eye
 There was a small sized and nearly good natured riot on Main street yes terday morning and the participants were men and young men. To show the iconoclastic spirit that ruled the mob. it need but be stated that one of it's victims was a legislator-elect of the new state of Arizona. In no place but America would the populace elect man to high office one day and roll him in the snow and slush the next.
 In the Main street melee the plate glass window of the Maze cafe was smashed and several costly electric signs were broken.
 To old time Arizonans and Bisbee- ties the snow storm was as artificial looking as a Christmas tree tinsel, and no snow-bound New England ev- CT presented a prettier picture of the Yuletide as it is pictured in books than Bisbee did yesterday. The snow did not begin melting until the afternoon, and probably as much

 Two sleighs made their appearance in the afternoon and added another item Co the snow scene. As the afternoon wore on, the snow melted faster, and rivulets of muddy water were flowing in every street.

Never before have conditions been so prosperous with the Warren Dis trict Country Club as at the present time, as was shown to the directors , by committee reports when they met last night for the last meeting of the year 1911. and what may be the last meeting of the present board. So well pleased were they with the results that have been achieved dur ing their regime that they have de cided 10 tender themselves a ban quet before they retire from office. and decided on January as the date, the annual election falling on Jan uary g. Preparatory to this election. a nominating committee was ap- pointed, and this committee has placed in nomination as directors a number of the members of the club whose names are now posted on the bulletin board, and who will be voted upon at the club election.
 The report of the auditing commit tee shows that the financial condition of the club wa5 never so good as at tire present time. The debt has been materially increased, and a sum ap- proximating S4,O00 raised. The addi- ton to the club is well under way, and is expected to be completed on CT about January i5.
 The membership committee re- ported that there had been new mem bers reported upon and elected at each meeting of the club directors, and that the roster of membership was now at it's highest figure in the history of the club.
 The golf committee reported that the club would have for it's guests the golf team of the Fl Paso Country Club on January 20 and the Douglas Country Club golf team on the first Sunday of February.
