 Douglas Schemers

Early Sands, the keeper of tie keys of the Cochise county bss ile, hss sprung into prominence within the last few dsys as an architect and builder. Mir Sands became aware of the fact that Douglas was bent on having court house immediately upon the Mexican line, the D rpose of wbich-not whispered audibly-is to booet some adobe land in the vicinity MT Ssnds, realizing the predica nent in which the aforesaid boosters find themselves, bethonght himself Of 8 scheme-so Tor g as schemes are pur- posed to hoodwiLk ,he public-w where- by the representative people" of Douglas might avsil th-mselves Of the real thing, and no !ooNn'. Mir Sands is 6 good soul, an oblieing gentleman and, although he is onto the "scheme" in the goodness Of his heart he could not allow "schemer-" to plod along minus some good ad- vertising project whereby the "wool'' might have 6 tendency to win laurel and shetels for the isr-r eeing pro
 gress;ves at tie Mexican border. And Mir Sands proceeded. and did produce the required and coveted sioremen- tioned court house. The building is c miniature of the court house in Tombstone, and that near perfection in design and construction that most of the "big men" of Douglas who pro pose toting away the original. could enter-witb imaginstion-snd hoist 1t upon tine shoulder of one and ex- claim we've got it It is a de- captive piece of ingenuity. for which the PRosPEcToR congrstclstes Mir Ssnds. as the miniature will be turned over to the good ard trooly of Doug !. iss, which will serve their purpo e shile1disposing of town lots. Mean- time it is supposed they will concede that the removal of the court house from Tombstone is an impossibility
 The miniature constructed by Mir Sands. and now on exhibition in the chow window of Flach's dug store. Allen and Fourth streets. will fill 6 IoLg felt desire and with roseate pro. misee of the future. will enhance tue price Of Douglas real estate

The following verses from the pen of 81. Hawkin
as handed to US few days ago with request
We them place in The Itemizer, which we do wi
easure The writer has placed this human d
oyer right where it belongs, and we are glad
We it push that it may cover as much terrific
possible:
Good in is place! Where is that place?
Thou fiend that's cursed the human race!
Where is that place? Oh! let me tell,
For | have learned thy secret WE'LL
Show me the place where you have been,
And there's the place where crime is seen;
Show me the place your presence blights,
And there's the place for brawls and fights.
Go see the graves that you have filled;
Go see the blood that you have spilled;
Then tell me that there is place
Where you should show your demon face.
Go ask the drunkards wretched wife,
What's been the terror of her life;
What turned her raven locks to snow
And laid her Wretched husband low!
See how she looks, by man forsaken;
See her by want and sorrow shaken;
See her hide in deep disgrace,
, Then say no more about your place.
Go hear the orphans cry for bread,
Go hear the widow mourn her Dead
Go see the drunkards haggard face,
And ask of them whore is thy place.
Ask the pauper at the poor house door,
What makes his heavy heart so sore,
He'll say, while tears run down his face
Because he had for you place.
Go see the place where demons lurk;
Go watch them in their develish work.
AS they with knives each other chase,
And there, vile whiskey, is thy place.
There's where the gallows finds its food,
There's where the prison gets its brood,
There's where crime and poverty embrace
While rushing on their head long race.
