On December eighth the first games were played by the class teams in the lnter-class Championship series held between the classes of the Bis bee High School
 Games have been played regular ever since then on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week On Thursday the last game was played
 The Seniors won the championship without much effort at all, and re- ceived a beautiful banner as a tro- phy for their good playing.
 The Senior team outclassed their opponents in every match, this due to the excellent team work and nev- CT tiring roofing of their fellow class mates who were present at every game
 The results of the series is as fol- lows
 Seniors, first place Juniors and Sophmores tied for second place, and Freshmen, last place
 This plan of school athletics re- suited in such a great success that the girls of the high school decided to have a similar series of games to be played among the four classes.
 The first girls game was played last Wednesday evening in the high school gymnasium. The Senior team again easily obtained the victory ov- CT the Sophmores. and the Juniors also defeated the Freshmen with less ease.

OF FAMOUS W0LFVILLE STORES
 DIES IN NEW YORK

The hero-maker Of Cochise county for many years in popular fiction is dead Alfred Henry Lewis author of 'Wolfville Days" and "Wolfvine Nights" died in his New York home Wednesday at the age Of rfty-seven. With him goes some of the most in- teresting material of early-day Tomb stone and Charleston stories ever as- sembled.
 Lewis spent several years in Ari- zona during the boom days of Tomb stone and Charleston During that time Lewis represented several big newspapers in the country and was contributing to the magazines His first work which attracted nation wide attention was "Wonvile Nights a series of short stories dealing with the section of Arizona now known as Cochise county
 The exact date of Lewis residence in the neighborhood of Charleston is not known, but many of the old time residents of that section and of Red Dog as Lewis called Tombstone. will remember the author and newspaper man
 Many of Lewis stories failed to en- certain some of the old timers. They were drawn to suit the taste, not of the residents of Charleston and Tomb stone but of readers in other parts of the country where the life, as it existed in this section at that time. ! did not prevail His characters, ac- cording to old residents, were often times overdrawn. They were not. perhaps, the real and original man from which the story or character was' drawn.
 But in Lewis stories a lasting mon ument, a lasting tribute and an en- teriaining commentary on life in this section, along in the early eighties. will last far beyond the time when Alfred Henry Lewis headstone will have sunk into the earth.

 These facts summarize the most important work done during the year. They 1o not. however, include the company sremendous outlay for ma terial and supplies purchased of mer- chants and manufacturers at home, nor do they take account of the sum that goes out to employees in the form rof wages. An idea of the latter may be gained from the annual payro for twenty-two representative cities on the Pacific system S29,O0Q00o. The yearly expenditures fthe Southern Pacific company are S131,00O,000 It is not unlikely that during 1915 there may he less railroad activity every where. The slackening is the inevit able result of the enormous shrink ing in earnings experienced by all the carriers.
