 publican Party"

It is sometimes astonishing with what readiness foreigners absorb American manners and knowledge re- garding it's system Of government and many interesting stories are told in this connection. A new Bisbee yoter applied for citizenship papers several days ago at Tombstone, before the clerk of the federal court. One of the questions asked the applicant was this, How is the president of the United States elected?"
 Without hesitating the man answer ed, By the republican party"
 The man had been in the United States only long enough to be able to swear that he had been here the time required to obtain the papers. but he had seen with a clear vision through the complicated machinery of the government and arrived at the real answer to the question.
 However, it will not be safe for for. eigners Go adopt this answer as a permanent one, as it might be the means of disqualifying them for citi zenshiD in this country.

COLOR ALONE SAVED
 LIFE OF 4 MEXICAN
Man Confined Here ReSem- bIed Murderer in Every
 thing But Hue

The shade of his complexion saved a Mexican prisoner in the county jail a trip to Nacozari and maybe it saved him from being shot for murdering an- other Mexican at Nacozari several months ago. A description and photo graph of the Mexican murderer was sent out to local officers seye~al months ag3 and when the Mexican re- feTred to was caught 1t was believed that the murderer had been landed.
 The photograph received by local officers was a perfect likeness of the Bisbee Mexican. It was shown to a number of persons and all agreed that the Mexican held here was the man whose picture had been sent here as that of the murderer.
 When the chief of police of Agua PTieta arrived here, however, he stated as soon as he saw the Bisbee Mexican that he was not the man wanted. He remarked upon the similarity of feat ures, but was positive that the man was not the one wanted in Mexico, say ing that the murderer was of dark complexion, whereas the Bisbee Mex jeans complexion was very light. The likeness between the murderers pho tograph and the Biss5se Mexican is said to be the most remarkable that has ever come 10 the notice Of officers here.
 The flight of years has turned up many instances where inno.en, mea suffered death or Imprisonment be- cause of mistaken identity and it may be that the Bisbee Mexican's s light complexion was the cause of saving his life.
