Tucson is continuing it's campaign to cpta.E bl!sade post.

Tue son also hopes for the nelp of Mark Smith as a resident ol that city This is undoubtedly so although there has been nothing said iu the papers of the city relative to it. Just at present Senator Smith is busily engaged in an attempt 10 prevent the abandon ment of Ft Whippl3 but his influence CD behalf of Tucson has undoubtedly and will certainly be sought by the brigade post committee.

 The -ysfhcer went 10 the rooming house and placed the man under ar. rest, the woman clinging tearfuily to her putative husband. They had evidently made their relation of man and wife landlady-proof. as she stout iy protested her belief in the mans innocence.

 Officers say that Percivaf has been in Bisbee for several months aad that he is a barkeeper by trade. They say further that he and the woman iiUst claimed to be brother and sister. The woman was employed in d store here for { short tine.
