when she was a girl of IL and she
became his wife at Is. Later she
discovered that many years before
her husband had married a negress
in New Mexico, that this woman was
living near her home, and that
Matheson was visiting her. she
went to the negress' home, founn
her husband there and killed him.

: shown by statistics that the number
of lynchings in the state exceeds the
number of legal executions every
year. 1t is seldom that the death
penalty is enforced by law. Even
when the lower court returns CON

Public officials of the state, as

discuss and deplore the situation in
private conversation, but they will
not consent to be quoted in an in

what they might say would be taken

 Ths warrant was served by Officer White, and Staley was brought into Judge Morris Highs court, where the case was set for 8 preliminary hear ing on January 20, and three o'clock in the afternoon.

VANDALISM SHOWN BY
 ACTIONS IN P.O. LOBBY
lnkwellS Stolen and En- liStment PlacardS
 Defaced

A peculiar instance of the deface- ment of government property, and which may have more significance than appears on the surface has come to the attention of local off, cers. The army enlistment posters in the postoffice lobby have been smeared with ink taken from the stands on the lobby writing desk, and the peculiar manner of their de- facement argues that whoeveT did it was animated by a spirit of ill., feeling toward the United States of America.
 A number of ink wells have also teen stolen from the post office lobby, and other little acts of vandalism committed. As these posters are the property of the United sNates gov ernment, it is a violation of the fed eral law to destroy or in any way deface them. Postmaster Cassidy stated yesterday that an effort was being made to apprehend the guilty persons, and that if they were found hey would be sent to prison, or fl they are under age, to a reform school In a case like this it is said that the spirit in which the act was committed would weigh heavily in the matter of punishment.

 According to the reports received in Bisbee, George Hughes, a son of William Hughes and brother of the assessor elect, met with a painful and possibly very serious injury at Fair bank last evening. The report states that as he was removing his shot gun from wagon it was accidentally discharged and the contents entered his leg below the knee. Surgical aid was speedily called Tn ana it is feared that amputation of the leg will prove necessary though this can bet ter be determined after he is brought home to Bisbee. today.
 Further details or the accident were not obtainable last night.

ROY GILL RETURNS,
 SAYS HE WILL STAY
Ball Player Back and Is for More of the
 Cactus League

Roy Gill, former member of tho Bisbee club of the old Cactus league arrived in the city yesterday. and vii make this place his home in the future He is representing the ac cident department of the Occidental Life Insurance company, and ha! opened an office with Hogan and Seed. on Main street. Gill went into business here after the close of the 1 Cactus league, and was the last oi the coterie of players to leave the district
 Gill is the picture of condition and looks fit 10 hit the NJ and o. sign in the distant center garden. He be lieves that the solution of the base. ball famine in the southwest is a revival of the old Cactus league. and says that he is ready to do anything be can to bring it about That is the sentiment all over the southwest, and is the hope of local fans, at least.
 Nothing definite has yet been done toward reorganiZinig iie Cactus cir cult, but the men who were respon- sible for the baseball season two years ago are lining up for the new league and are ready to encourage it both morally and financially.
 The Douglas International recently printed the following favorable com menJ upon the Cactus league, which has not been dead, but sleeping, dur ling the past two years:
 What is to be the program of the Douglas baseball fans during the sea- son of 1912? That is a question that has been frequently asked in the city duriing the last few days, but as yet there has been no answer. The out look for improved conditions has caused many to hope that the f' Cactus league may be revived and that some of the old-time. favorites like Kane and Harper may be in duced to return 10 Douglas. The Cac- tus league, two years ago, was a sue cess in every way, except financially; the season of 1910 cost those who came to the support of the league Douglas over S2.000.
 Last year the city was not en tirely without baseball. and il vii not be the coming year. h"t tDere is a desire for the good old days when the Cactus league was at it's height and Kane and his local team were holding the name of Douglas in the baseball world.
 It has been suggested that per haps it would be better to confine any new league that may be under taken to Douglas, Bisbee, Tucscn and Cananea, as with the completion oi the extension of the Fl Teso and Southwestern, all these places will be in direct competitor and near tC each other"

 These comments are worth heed ing, for the average of intelligence among those dictionary seekers was easily seen to be very high. Many professional men filed along the line between stenographers and school girls. Doctors. lawyers and clergy men all seemed anxious to possess the handsomely bound black leather volume which looks like a fine Bible and which they described as compre- hensive' and above all else, handy"
