A DIABOLICAL ACT.

On Friday night of last week some
fiend placed crossties in a Cow hole"
at the entrance of the deep cut at
Chestnut Hill, three miles north of
Elkton. The ties were fixed SO that
the trains going either way were
thrown from the track. The train
passing Elkton at TAO was the first
to encounter the obstruction. The en-
CINE and three empty express cars
were thrown from the track, and the
engineer, brakeman and fireman all
injured. 1t is not known what the
motive was in thus endangering the
lives of the passengers. The train
was running at slow rate which
doubtless saved many lives.

Shop girls and counter men more than appreciate the early shopping spirit that is being shown in the dis trict Daily their remarks lead to the conclusion that the Warren Dis trict is doing much or it's Christmas buying much earlier than in past years. and that the chances of heavy trade in the last few days of the buy ing season are daily becoming less risky
 Most of the girls in the Bisbee shops are smiling. too, al the pros poets of a season in which they will not have to work so hard that real enjoyment of the Christmas will be beyond them Yesterday when sey- eral of them were asked as to the prospects of the rush. they replied that the Warren District population is showing remarkable attention to the time worn warning of early shop ping They were more than pleased to state Bisbee will have happy Christmas as already shown by the number of purchases which have been made and the visitors who daily in- spect the stocks before making their decisions on purchases
 That the heavy rush at the end of the season is always tiring to such a degree that the girls are unable to enjoy the holidays was also the state ment Of several of the clerks in the city shops who have been through | the Christmas seasons Of the past years.

With the increase in crime in the Warren District comes the report of like increase in other sections of the country. If there is any difference in the proportion it is greatly in fay- or of Bisbee. At that the increase in depredations. locally is stirring botL the officers of the district and the residents
 As one of the officers put the mat ter last night: "The first step when a man becomes cold and hungry is petit larceny. Should this fail he goes to grand larceny and in case this fails he becomes a thug and a mur- derer"
 So far Arizona and particularly Bisbee has escaped the last named character. But in Fl Paso, during the past week. two murders have talk en place. Both of them were attend ed with the most coldblooded partic- uiars In one case man was shot down in cold blood and his body searched No trace of the murder CTS has been found SO far.
 "it is not a difficult proposition to find a nest Of professional crooks said one officer yesterday "They can be located and hunted down: but when the ordinary man of the street the working man, turns thug in order

 The officers, both in Lowell, War ren and Bisbee. are doing their ut. most to hold the burglaries to a min. imum On account of the small night force however, it is more or less of Q miracle when they can cover the entire business district. let alone the extensive residence sections of the city and district The city force is busying itself rounding up all of the suspicious characters in the city and giving them a floater

There was no evidence upon which the stranger could be convicted. He was ordered to leave the district and has Tot been seen or heard of since.
 Two more burglaries were report ed to the city police yesterday. One of these happened in the Doyle house where two rooms were entered and the other took place yesterday in a building on o.

Arrangements Completed By Bis bee and Douglas Commercial Bodies for the Perturbation of BorderIand Route in County.

Following out the start made by the Southern Automobile Association the Warren District Auto Cldb and the Douglas Chamber of Commerce have agreed to bring a picture mak- ing machine into Cochise county for the purpose of taking motion pie lures of the Borderland Route
 Some months ago it was decided by tho SouthErn Highway Associa- tion to give to their route a wide amount of publicity In view of the approach of the Panama-Pacihc EX position in San Francisco it was deemed advisable to start this pub licity about the time the exposition commenced.
 Along this line n. E. Colp secre- tary of the Texas Good Roads As sociation. became interested and agreed to send the picture-taking men through Texas In order to boost the entire highway, of which the Borderland Is continuation, it was decided to endeavor to enlist the interest of the Southern Arizona, Southern New Mexico and Southern California in the scheme.
 The picture men will arrive in the county shortly. The expenses will be borne jointly by He Douglas Chamber of Commerce and the local body for the work done in Cochise County. It is hoped that Pima county, Maricopa, Pinal and Yuma can be interested in the matter.
 The local enthusiasts hope to have the Douglas-Bisbee link of the Bor- derland and the Bisbee-Tombstone link receive the most attention. It is also thought possible that the smeIters in Douglas and the mines in Bisbee will receive a great deal of publicity from the pictures. They will be exhibited, it is forcasted dur ing the month of January and may be seen in the Warren District
