MONDAY
Wis It's Scenes
 Of 0Iden Days

The first preacher and the first saloon keeper Bisbee ever had, was
 in the city yesterday and today. Was is used advisedly. for that first minister and saloenist was .
 single person. A F Parshall. now .
 manufacturer of blackboards in Los Angeles.
 Moreover. in the good old days
 when Parshall was Bisbee's lone sa-
 loonist and minister, he not only furnished the saloon but also the
 church, for on Sundays he drew a
 curtain in front of the bar for a
 few hours, and before it held his re- Iligious servlce Every otherSun-
 day he alternated with a priest who
 came from Tombstone and conduct,
 ed services in the same place. The lprIests name, Parshall thinks, was
 Hogan. He was. at any rate, a
 good man and kindly.
 Parshall came here yesterday.
 He spent the better part of the day
 trying to identify old locations, fa-
 miiiar during the one year he was in business here. That was about
 1879. He had come from Portland
 to Tombstone. J A Kelly, his friend. proprietor of what was then KeIly's Wine House" in Tomb stone; told him there was a new camp starting up over the mount
 ain and that he believed it would
 be good hunch for Parshall to go over there and open branch. So Parshall came oyer with a tent and opened "Kelly's Branch Wine House It had the field alone for three months, and then others came.
 Parshall was given two claims by George Warren in the district. They were near the original Cop. per Queen working, and the name Holbrook struck him this morning as familiar. At the end of a year he left the district. and forgot his claims. He remembers that there was one store in aframe building, Fun by Hardy Bros.. and another run in tent. He figured out today that they were near the postoffiee site. There was but the one frame building when he came.
 Parschall preached the funeral sermon over the body of the widely known and famed old time prospect or. Banjo Kelly. whose body Was buried near the site of the Central school. He also spoke services over several others who died while he was here. It was his conduct of fun- |. erals which led to regular Sunday before his bar. Of those lays, the story Parschall can tell Would ill volumes--Ore.

IRISH RECRUITS $4,000.
Both Unionists and Nationalists Join
the ColOrS

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The number of
new recruits for the British army OBJ
tanned in Ireland amounts to about
10000, according to Il despatch from
Dublin. More than 5000 of these are
from the Dublin district, 1000 from the
Cork district, and the remainder from
Belfast. Not all the Belfast recruits
are unionists, nor are all the southern
recruits nationalists. The Belfast ma
tionalsts claim to have furnished 5000
of the Belfast recruits. which is larger
than the proportions supplied by the
uuionists.
Many of the southern recruits belong
TO football and athletic classes. There
is not such Il rush to join the colors
from the agricultural districts as was
anticipated rs there is a lack of men
of available age. Emigration has left
Ireland With a much greater proportion
of the old and very young than there
is in England, while she already has a
much larger proportion of men in the
army than has England.

the Russian machine guns.
"With the fall of evening, the Ger
man batteries were sileneed one after
the other by the steady and weil-di-
rected fire of the Russian artillerists
The enemy then fel back eight miles
pursued and harrassed bv cossacks,
who had crossed the river on the Ger
man bridges.
According to one account, no few
er than 10000 German corpses were
carried down the Niemen after this
awful carnage In the fight at Srcd-
niki, on the Niemen, Sept. 15. the
German casualties also are said to
have been large. An eyewitness of
the battle says that IN the river and
one of its banks no fewer than 5000
Germans perished. On the opposite
shore from the city, the bodies Of 1900
Germans were lying unburied for some
days afterward. -

GERMANS CAUGHT
IN RUSSIAN TRAP
Crossed River into Position Swept by
Terrible Fire-20,000 Bodies Car
ried Down Stream.

A graphic account af the Illustration
the Nicmen river is given by the Daily
Telegraph = Petrograd correspondent.
''The Germans appear to have fallen
into a Russian trap the correspond
cut says. ''On September % the rear
guard Of the Russian Gen. Rennen-
kampf's S army was transferred to the
right bank of the river and the fol
lowing evening the Germans approached
the the stream. The next day, seeing
no signs of opposition. the Germans
proceeded to construct pontoon bridges
and completed this work without mo-
lestatiou.
LIT was only when the troops were
pouring across the right bank, in fan
cied security, that a sound like the
roll Of thunder was heard and dozens
of Russian guns, cleverly posted and
screened. opened their concentrated fire
on the crowded bridges. Before the
blast Of shrapnci and machine gun
proicctiles the Germans were swept in
to the river by hundreds. Speedily,
however, the challenge of the Russian
gums WIS IahtN up ny the btlHldh dl
tillerv and for n long time the duel
continued.
AT last the Germans, thinking they
had got the measure of the Russian
gunners, made another attempt tC
throw their troops across the Niemen
But this time also they had no bet
ter luck and not one of the soldiers
who stepped upon the bridges either
reached the opposite shore or returned
'The bodies Of the slain floated -
hundreds down the yellow flood of tn,
Nicmcn. Still the Germans vigorously
maintained their bOmbardment, an,
about 6 O'Clock i'm the evening made
last and desperate effort to utiliz,
the bridges on which they had spen
such pains. Columns in close forma
tion were sent forward to the cross
iugs but once again every man wa
