For several hours before the clos ing of the saloons there were hun dreds of men on the streets. over a thousand officers and soldiers from the Naco border camps were in the city to aid the locals in bidding good bye to their wet period. The resi- dents of the whole Warren District turned out enmass to see the sights or aid in making the night one of excitement and jollity. The whole Of the town turned itself into one mass Of mixing, showing, pushing humanity, bent on seeing the old year die, and with it Arizona's traditional liquor
 The masses milled in and out of the doors of the bars. In some Of them. where the stock of liquor held out for the amount of thirst, the num- ber of persons was SO large that it was hard to make an entrance. In other places where the Dooze was about exhausted there were smaller crowds. In every place there were songs, occasional word fights, and an atmosphere Of dense smoke never before seen in the saloons of the city except when many piled their way in and out

this morning, there was a near ap. proach to d time when Arizona lost her first horns. Shearing away the fin. al border appellation and characteris tic of the state was accompanied by an almost as large celebration as bid the one-card man a fond adieuX Dry Arizona was ushered in as wet Ari zona was kneled out. and though crepe and sorrow was present in guar ters, the spirit of the New Year and the occasion of extraordinary hilarity as on that occasion when the click Of chips was heard for the last time seemed to drown out grief and wei come a new period in the state for better or for worst
 GenerRlly speaking the celebration was one of little rowdyism and fight ing. Though most of the mep wht were milling through the Bisbee and Warren District saloons were drink ing a little, there was at no time a feeling apparent in the crowds of hostility and the few difficulties which arose were immediately quelled Strange as may seem the statement the last night of liquor in Bisbee though there was a lake of refresh ment taken internally was one o the most orderly celebrations whici the district has ever seen There were very few arrests, few fistic encount CTS, and none of the heavy rowdyisn which might have been expected from the many who were aiding the stat' in becoming an Arid Arizona
