YOU COULDN'T BLAME
 BLEDSOES FRIENDS
Seven Hours Through the Mud Ought to Be Suf-
 ficient Reason

It reads like Kansas. but it really happened in Arizona Frank Bicdsoe, druggist. member of the board cf school trustees, left fielder for the Bankers base ball team. partner Of Jimmie Ball and joint owner of The Brush. visited Tombstone Thursday afternoon. But this is not per sonal item. It is really a first page story, with apologies to tho news editor.
 The little Brush car is not the joke. MT. Biedsoe has visited the county seat a number of times in his Brush and made it easily, each way. in two hours and a half, which is going some for that Size car. He went to Tombstone all right Thursday. but it was the "coming back" that makes the thriller. When about six miles from town, near Cowan's ranch, a tire blew out and a storm blew up at one and the same time. It is not known whether the rain caused the tire blow-up or the tire blow-up caused the rain. Anyway when Mir. Bled- soc arrived in Bisbee the folks didn't know him.
 It took him seven hours to come back from Tombstone and six miles of the trip were made in a flood. SO of course you couldn't blame the folks

HUSBAND CAN BE TOO
 AFFECTioNATE, SHE SAYS.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 10--A husband can be too affectionate and too poetic. according to the testimony of Mrs Wentworth Carter, whose suit for di- voree was tried in the circuit court here today.
 Too much poetry. too many kisses- too much love, too many smiles and too little work. makes life miserable" she said.
 Mrs. Carter said that when she mar ried Carter ten years ago, she was temporarily blinded by love and del uge of poetry.
 He was positively irresistible, but he would not work, judge. He wanted to kiss me all the time. When our last cent was gone he went to South Carolina to live with an uncle. There isn't much poetry and romance in that, is thereg~

. NN 2 . . . . . .

An committees of the big t.abos Dsy celebration got busy yesterday with q jump and will continue to jump up to the day of the celebration. Comrara- tiVely little time remains in which to perfect arrangements and details of the demonstration, but it is believe1 that 1t can be done. The Labor Day celebration organization is nothing mere than the Fourth of July celehra- tion organization. so that organization was established to begin with. All of the Fourth boosters are lined up for the Labor Day affair and the csiebra- tion idea was received with favor among all classes yesterday.
 The idea of having a celebration with an appeal to the miners of the district is popular All of the sport events will be of character that will appeal to miners and a numbec Of good sized purses will fall into their hands as the result of the drilling con tests and tugs of war.
 Wagers Made Early.
 The 100-yard dash for the cham pionship Of the territory was talked of enthusiastically on the streets yester- NaY ana alIeauH SeNeIdl purses HsiN . been wagered on the sprint. Oliver Brown has always been regarded as the champion sprinter of the territory and until now no one has questioned his right to the title. One of the reas- ons for not pulling of 100-yari das sh on the Fourth of July was that Brown was thought to have the race cinehed to begin with. but Stanton says that he will shake his pay check and sell his clothes if necessary to back hiIs- self with a side bet. Stanton is taller than Brown and has the build of 2 sprinter He says that he has raced some of the best men in the west and is confident that he can defeat Brown No event in a long time has aroused the interest that the, dash has and it bids fair to be one of the star feat ures of the celebration. Both of the men are employed at the mines.
 The tug of war enthusiasts are spec ulating as to which of the netionalities of the district will be opposed in the event It has been suggested that Ihe Irish pull against the SYedes or inc Slavs against the Films.
