R1DEAT TO MAKE ITS EXIT
Meteorological Conditions Tomorrow
Supposedlnde of Next
Six Weeks

From present appearances, the
ground hog will make hasty retreat
to his lodging when he peers out to-
morrow and surveys the weather, as
'ohere is every reason to believe ne
will see his shadow, in which event II
will continue its Information for sA
weeks, as wintry conditions will 1t /:
supposed, be inevitable during thai
period.
This superstition is one of the Oldest
on record and runs back beyond the
Christian era. Farmers in ancient
day, while not attributing the weather
which was to follow the second Of
February to the ground hog, imagined
that if bright conditions prevailed II
that day foul and unseaonable weather
would follow during the succeeding
six weeks. In Germany the move.
ments of skunks and other animals ar'
watched with anxiety on the second o.
February. Should an agriculturis
see one of these creatures emerge
from its winter lodging and beat
hasty retreat 10 it's hole, this proceed
ure would be regarded as an evl
omen.
Two months of the cold season hav'
passed away without being marked b.
any severe weather Much, however
may follow before the return of tn
blue birds.

ALL OBSERVE
 IMPROVEMENT
Dr. Shine Among These Friends Told by Popular. Physician That Even a Few Months Make Change

While I was not away so long, a matter of a little more than three mon,hs. said Dr. F. F. Shine yester. day still I see many improvements in and around Bisbee. There are certainly more people here by a con siderable number, and about the mines it is evident there are a good many more men at work.
 Dr. Shine has been getting rapidly back into the groove of his profes- sion during the week, though the way has been somewhat impeded by the numerous friends he has in the dis ir!ct. numbering practically all of the Erpulation, who have found it de c-ded pleasure to let him know that his return is very agreeable to them and his presence about the streets makes them look very much more nat ural
 As for the note he makes of i'm proved conditions in the district the same manner of comment comes from all Bisbee people returning from visits from the city. No matter how short me latter are. nevertheless there is change to be noted upon return. Each day is witnessing the arrival of new people and there is at the present time without doubt a larger popula- +ion in the district than ever before in, its history. The increase, too, is being taken care of in the employ meRt division. for there are no idle men here.

w, H. Hatcher, florist and horticul- turist of Douglas, arrived here last night from Tucson where he has been or visit with his son. He will spend today here visiting another son and return home tonight.
 MT. Hatcher has large flower gar dens in the Shelter City which are attracting the attention of Jhe south west and he has demonstrated that flowers can be raised here as we'll as in any another part of the country Lately however his gardens as well as many other flower beds in that city were effected with an unknown dis ease. the cause of which he is now studying.
 While in Tucson he conferred with the botanists of the university but re ceived very little encouragement ex- cept that they have also taken the matter up and are conducting a sep arate investigation.
 Mir. Hatcher has resided in Arizona since July, 1879. but this was his first visit to Tucson.

DECISION WILL,
 BE GIVEN TODAY
Absence of Gun with Which Alleged Shooting was Done
 in Brewery Gulch Sunday
 Night Raises Point of Law

Preliminary hearing of Fred Kellar charged with assault with attempt to
 Kill, was held yesterday afternoon
 before Judge Thomas. Tke colrt took the case under adYisenens until 10 o'clock this morning. when he will render opinion.
 The evidence in the case developed jhe fact that while drunk. Keilar went 10 the red light district and started ta wreck one Of the rooms of an in- mate, later trying to set fire 10 the ef- fleets. William Barr who filed the comp.a nt. attempted to stop KelIar. and then a shot was fired which graZsd Bars side.
 Immediately after the shooting :he gun disappeared and has not yet been located. The case involves fer that reason technicalities. Evidence sU6- mitted yesterday, however, indicated Kellar would be a dangerous man to be loose with gun He was dis armed by Barr after having fired the shot which came near prIving fatal to Barr, evidently aimed fer the heart passing through Bars trousers band Barr ran in upon the furious. cr5zea man and wrenched the gun from him It flew from the reach of both men and evidently was thereafter picked up and taken away by an outsider.
 Such is the tenor of the Barr sto- ry. On the other hand, the de fense is attempting to show that Koi lar was too intoxicated to know what he was doing and intimates broadly that he was the victim Of a frameup and did not shoot at all The desire to get Keiiar out of the trouble by any methoi that might prove pos- sf5le was indicated yesterday in the violent opposition of kel- lars counsel. There are those that believe there is more behind all the furcre than has yet been brought to. ght
