HOMER OU BOTS, OLD
TIME SPORT, P|NCHEO
vii! Be Remember as King
of Naco Gamblers in
Early Days

Homer Dubois, who will be remem-
bered by many old timers In south
ern Arizona and especially by those
who were around Bisbee and Naco
during the early days OF that town,
was pnched a few days ago in El
Paso, and charged with yagrancy.
Dubois, it seems, had been following
the paths of the gambler and conf
dence men in Juarez and came TO FL
Paso when the officials in the MeXi-
car town drove all the gamblers out
of that place. The following from
the Ell Paso Times tells OF the
troubles of Dubois:
Six alleged "Dunco- men from Gu
dad JuareZ were arrested early this
morning by the police department.
The men arrested gave their names
as: George F. Bracket, T. II. Da-
Wis, A. b. Harvey, Martin Russell, II.
NJ Dubois, and Fred Grover. They
we're all charged on the police docket
with vagrancy, this being the only
charge upon which they could be
held. The arrest of these men came
as a result OF the exodus of American
con" artists from Juarez. who were
forced to leave that town or be plac-
ed in the Red Flag JAIL
During the boom days Of Naco, on
the border" Dubois. was the pro-
prietor of a big gambling house and
dance hall there. Roulette, Faro,
Monte and all kinds of games to
catch suckers were there manipulate
ed by Dubois and his associates and
at zines. so the stories go, big stakes
were on the table and generally lost
to the dealer. The Dubois gambling
house was az its height during the
early days OF Cananea and IL is said
that Col. Greene, who likes TO try
his luck on the green cloth occasion
ally lost more than ten thousand
dollars at one sitting in front of a
roulette wheel which was operated by
Dubois in person.
A gentleman, who resides in Doug
las, recently met Dubois in Juarez
and said that the old time Nacoite
seemed to be flush with funds and said
that since he left Arizona he haa
been in several countries in South
America
Before leaving Arizona Dubois for
a time, ran the big Bartless gambling
house in Tucson and on one occasion
his valley this year and could fur
spun the roulette wheel fer come
of the higher-ups in that city with
such success that az the end OF the
play he help checks Of a prominent
business man Of that city amounting
10 $4,000. Next morning Dubois was

NEWS OF WEDDING
LEAKED OUT LATE
Miss Hannah Johnson ana
Oscar Bloomauist
Married April %


News Of the wedding OF Miss Han
nah johnson to Oscar BloomQuist
transpired yesterday. The wedding
occurred on April %. but owing 10
objection to the wedding at this time
on the part of the young woman's
parents, the young man closed up all
ordinary news sources in Bisbee and
Tombstone. so that il was not until
yesterday that news Of the wedding
leaked out and became known 10
their friends.
Miss Hannah is the elder daughter
Of MT and Mrs Pete Johnson, an
old time Bisbee family, and Mr. John
son is reported TO be cutie wealthy

tie entitle him 10 be known as q
cattle king" Mr. BloOmquist is a
well known and popular young man,
employed at Hillman's Main street
cigar store.
The wedding ceremony was per.
formed by Rev. f. G. Decker on the
evening Of April %, but the young
woman returned 10 her home and the
groom returned to his work and
bachelordom as if nothing had oc.
Cured. The clerk OF the superior
court at Tombstone, the Bisbee jus.
tice who secured the license. and the
minister. were all pledged to secrecy,
so the secret was safe.
The tying Of the knot, however. is
not the end of matrimony, and the
separation grew so irksome that
when on Thursday night the young
couple visited the theater, they de
termined that the separation should
end, and the mother-in-law was tele-
phoned to send the brides trunk to
the Oliver house, where Mr.. and Mrs
BlOomquist are temporarily That
was the brides mothers first intima.
ton of the wedding. so cleverly had
the clandestine affair been carried out
The original date of the wedding
was April 20. but a visit TO Nogalees
took the young woman out Of we'd
ding range. and it was deferred. Up
on her return, the courtship was
warmly revived. and the wedding fol-
lowed. A sister of the bride went 70
Douglas yesterday to meet Mr.. John
son, and il is expected that the fami
ly blessing will be forthcoming.

Reports have it that the southern mem
bers of the association who are opposed
to the Niger attorney for racial reas-
ons will go to the convention in large
numbers to outvote the northern and east
ern members who will line up for Lewis.
This has greatly stirred Wickersham, and
he is using his best endeavors to secure
large attendance from these sections
The Attorney General has also under
Amusement a scheme whereby northern
members who are unable to attend may
be present by proxy.
Some of the most prominent lawyers, ne

is promised to overshadow every other

contention being that Lewis was legally

the Attorney General is championing his
cause on that ground.
