she was with the man in the
hills and then she eventually
persuaded him to let her go. It
seems that he wanted to get
some matches and being put to
it to find some expedient where
by he might retain the girl and
yet visit a farm to obtain the
lights, he resolved that he had
better after all be rid of her.
About 200 people surrounded
the location where the man is
known to be and his capture is put
down as a foregone conclusion.
Should he not be taken a couple
of bloodhounds that have been
broughtout from Winnipeg will
be employed and by that means
shouldsecure an arrest.
Feeling here runs most hign
and it is feared that it will go
badly with the man if those in
authority are not with the crowd
when a capture is made.
/ The assailant told the girl that
his name was Bill Miner, but
whether that is his right name
or not is doubtful. He also told
her that he had recently robbed
a train. Miss Price supposes
that he is an eastern harvest
hand. Certainly, she says, he
does not know the district round
about here and that fact will
go to make his capture probable.
He has been on a threshing gang
for some time. "a

Kept Her a Prisoner
Snow Flake, Man., Sept. 13-
A fierce man hunt and deadly
skirmish resembling Indian war
fare has been under way for the
past twenty-four hours between
here and the United States
boundary. The sensational situa-
: tion is the climax of the kidnap-
ing of a pretty young. school
teacher, Eleanor Gladys Price,
bY a man alleged to be Henry
Bill Wilson, alias Bill Miner Of
Hannah, n. D.
All during the night posse
of 5000 armed men pursued the
fugitive through the bush and
many shots were exchanged at
sunrise when he was surrounded
in the dense woods. -.
Bloodhounds picked up the trail
five miles from the school house,
where the man captured the girl
Monday afternoon. She return
ed home in a frightful condition
last night. :: The popula ii n
is in an infuriated state and a
score of constables who are di-
recting the pursuit will be unable
to protect the man if he is cap
tured.
The United States officials just
over. the line have sent a posse
into Canada from the south.
When her fiance, who was lead
ing the search for her, whistled
their signal, Miss Brice. says she
heard him but was prevented
from answering by the X threats
of the man who had her captive.

Price returned to her home in
this place where:she stays in the
house Of John Rim, last night,
after undergoing the terrible ex-
perience of spending. thirty hours
with a half drunken man, in the
Pembina valley; To all appear
ances she is little worse Of the
adventure, only one eye and her
lip being badly bruised from
brutal treatment. She must be
as plucky girl as is to be found,
for at midnight: last. night she
spoke quite freely Of an adven-
ture so dreadful that many a
girl would have been Frustrated
for days. Nevertheless she bore
distinct traces Of the severe
mental strain that has been her
lot.
At one O'Clock Monday morn
ing a man well dressed appeared
at the school house, the sinister
thing about him being that he
carried a gun in one hand and a.
bottle in the other, from which
he had evidently been imbibing.
He asked her to go away with
him and she Of course refused
Thereupon ensued the struggle,
the traces Of which were evident
in the little building, to those who

morning. The mans strength
was nsiderably greater than
that Of the girl and after what
was something Of a rough and
tumble fight for some time, he.
forced her to accompany him..
This was not effected however,
without the dire threat that if

Utah is fin bad with Bisbee police officers and judges and while the state is not criminally liable for those who claim it as their native state, Utah is in bad. Yesterday AL bert Haven was arraigned before Judge Morris High on the charge ot vagrancy. He said that he had been in Bisbee three weeks-three weeks, more discriminating evidence-and that he came from Utah and

 The man entered a plea of guilty to the charge of being vag and was given an hour in which to collect the fine or go to jail. He left the court room with a mumbled protest anu has not becn seen since.
 David Jamison, arrest6I on the same charge, first entered plea or not guilty, but when told that he must furnish bond in the sum Of SZ9, reconsidered and said that he would take some of the same. He likewise has not since been seen.

TRASE SHOT IN AIR
 ID BRIGHTEN SMITH
Latter Then Turned Round and Killed Officer Who
 Fired Again

The question as to when Deputy Sheriff Frank Trask got in the shot that stopped the fleeing tramp, Boyd Smith, at Benson on the night ot May 10 was not definitely cleared up at the inquest. according to news that has reached Bisbee.
 From the testimony offered at the inquest it appears that Trask fired the hrst shos. shooting into the air to stop the fleeing tramp. Where 5pon. Smith turned and shot three times at Trask, one of the shots, the fatal one, entering the offlceTs neart. But as, it is stated, the oil cer's bullet entered Smiths lack; the latter must have been rurning it the time, fleeing from the officer, aading to the supposition that Trask rel after he received his fatal wound or that Smiths wound was received iefore Trask was hit in the heart The question as to which one of the three shots was fired by Smith is the solution and no evidence tending to unrayel this question was offered, so lar as reports show.
 It appears from the testimony of
  after the west-bound train arrived in the yards, Constable Trask was mak- ing his rounas and just as the train was pulling out of the yards. Trask noticed d man swing beneath one of the coaches and notified him to set of, whei eupon the man demand ei Trask to show his authority, and asked if he ere the yard switchman.

 The slightest inkling as to how the government in Mexico City feels about the rebel victory has moi reached Juarez. but the relations which the provisional government is beginning to have in foreign coun. tries, 1t is believed. cannot but have a perpleaing affect on the federal government.

Miss Cummings, Secretary of Charity Committee, Wis
 its Home at 0ubacher

The inquest oyer the body of little Cyena Torres. which was to have been held by Acting Coroner High yesterday afternoon at o'clock, was adjourned until this morning, on account of the absence of witnesses. Miss Esther Cummings, secretary of the charity committee of the board of trade, visited the home in com pany with Frank Thomas, court inter preter, yesterday and orders were placed for food and specially prepar- cd condensed milk for the surviving infant
 The county physician, who also visited the home, says that the in fant cannot live. The infant is not yet a month old and has been in charge of its grandmother. the moth CT being ill at the hospital Malnutri- ton and deprivation of it's natural food probably caused the death of little Cyena- sl
 Regarding the deplorable case. Miss Cummings, secretary of the charity committee. said yesterday:
 After thorough ainvestigation by the secretary of the charity commit tee into the case of the infant child in Dubacher canyon who, it was re- ported died of starvation. it was found that the child did not die from lack Of food, but on account of being ill and unable to retain any kind of nourishment.
 The twin babes were left in the grandmOthcr's care when the mother was taken to the hospital. The grandmother claims that sufficient nOurishment was provided for them. and that she tried to feed them prop erly. She, however. neglected to call q doctor or even tell her own neigh bors of the children's critical con dition, and the doctor now says that the other child cannot live. The father of the children is working out of town. The grandmother is a stranger here. having come from Cananea only a few days ago.
 The charity committee is always glad to investigate all cases that are reported to it, and supply provisions whenever necessary. But it is not always possible to know of every needy case unless it is reported to 1e secretary"

 Resolutions Emphatic
 Bisbee's objection, supported by every town in the northern part O. the county, is contained in the res0- lutions adopted by the board or tTace Wednesday night, which will be sent to the Douglas chamber for approval. and the sentiment Of the county, as represented by the board Of super. yisors, is stated most emphaucaily in the resolutions recently adopted by them and which will be forward ed to the governor and the terri torial board of control.
 Mr. Grindell feels aggrieved as the result of the statement that he did not represent the Douglas chamber in the letter The statement in the Review was based on the assertion of Mir. Bowen in the board meeting that he had been informed by three memters of the Douglas board oi directors that the sentiment of that DDAt ulA lsDt Ad'ot bAS AAIl SACi ts route" MT.

 Dear Sir: l note in the Morning Review. issue May 9th. an article referring to the improvement of a portion of the territorial highway near Huachuca. in which is quoted a letter l sent you dated April 9th I therefore assume the article was written after an interview with you. Some of the statements made indi- cate that you and the writer are la boring under a serious misappre- hension of the real facts.

 Douglas Got a Map
 Acting for the Douglas chamber of commerce and mines, I was en- deayoring to hasten the road work on the only established route knowL to us at that time, and there was no intention to cast any influence for any one route as against another. The map in our possession. furnished by the board of control, shows only tbe route which you refer to as the Hereford route,' and we are still of the opinion that that is the route selected, and it is reasonable to as- sume that the board of control exer cised good judgment in the selection and did select the more advanta- eeous location unless something be shown to the contrary.
 We are at a loss to know what mctive impelled you to give out the Oitcism which you did nor why you should object 10 the early compile ton of that portion of the territ orial highway that will be of such mate rial benefit to all COchise county points.
 Politics is a good thing to play at times, but bad politics is to be con demned at all times. Douglas never knocks its neighbors nor does she play the deg in the manger.' We want the best there is to get, and when expert opinion is not in accord with our own we gracefully submit without attempting adverse criticism n nfF h.-
 We would suggest that in all fairness you correct the impression made by the article So it may more nearly accord with the true facts in the case. Very respectfully,

Unprecedented crowds visited tLe OTpheum Wednesday night and last night at the opening Of the vaude- vile show from the Bert Levy cir cult in connection with the fine pic lures that have always been on at this theatre.
 The vaudeville proved a distinct bit and the crowds were more than Igeased. This is the first time a sau egille ciTcyit of the kind has Leen secured for a local theater and the people who visited the Orpheum on the orening nights showed their appreciation. The skit of Bailey and Edwards in The Black Diamond Express" was a distinct success. As singers they are unusually good and 10th are clever with their jokes, which are not the old time-worn var iety usually put on in vaudeville these days.
 Bert Page. unique comedy coDtor- tlonist, last night demonstrated that he is one of the best in the business, doing many difficult and thrilling stunts.
 IT e big vaudeville show is nut on in connection with the regular pic tGres, which seem to be growing bettes each succeeding night. Rec orCy'realCing crowds are promised nightly for the Orpheum as a result of its enterprise.

Secretary Grinden of the Douglas chamber of commerce and mines re- fuses to be the goat.
 In a letter to Bruce Perley, secre- tary of the Bisbee board Of trade, he says that the Douglas chamber directed him as secretary to core spond with the board of control, the Tucson chamber Of commerce and the Bisbee board of trade in an en- deavor to hasten the repair Of the road between Douglas, Bisbee an Tucson. In this the chamber was guided. he says. by a route of tho territorial highway ''selected as tho one to be used by the territorial higN way"
 Three Didn't Know of 1t
 J. J. Bowen of Bisbee stated al the meeting of the board or trads Wednesday night that Bill Adams n a member of the board Of directors of the Douglas chamber, told him that he knew nothing of the cham Der authorizing the approval or tns Hereford route" and that two other members of the board told him the same thing.
 The letter was written before the good roads convention at Phoenix and in it It is stated that the route map furnished the Douglas chamber of commerce by the board of cor. trol did not show any compeuns or opposing route by Tombstone. Sr David and Benson" Yet Bill Adam. son, a memEer of the Douglas cham. Der Of commerce, went to the con vention as a dele~ate from Coehise county and worked, according to his statement to Mir. Bowen, to get the Benson route sdopted.
 Didn't Get a Map It is a significant fact that the territorial board of control did not furnish the Bisbee board of trade a map of the highway route. Ieavinv Bisbee, Tombstone. St. David and Benson ca the route.
 The letter to Mr. Periey states that i've" are at a loss to know why you object to the early com. pleti0n of that portion of the terri. torial highway that will be of much material benefit to all Cochise county points"
 It Is shown that the appeal of Mir. Grindell to the board of trade for heln in establishing the Here ford route as the houte of the hish way through this county, was not made In behalf of "aIl Cochise c0u-rv points but in behalf of Douglas and Bistee autoists, who in going 10 the last territorial fair at Phoe- nix had bad time because of the
