find many of the blooms had an
additional bud coming out of

Shafer Wins the Cup

By defeating Prof. Colver
6-1, 4 6, rs, rs in the finals
of the tennis tournament today
E. E Skater won the cup as
the best and most proficient
tennis player in this vicinity.
Some years ago MIR. Shafer was
acknowledged as the best play
er in the county but he has not
been playing of late years and
has added considerable avoirdu.
pois to the tune Of about 24O
pounds but he proved that he
had not lost his cunning as he
met all corners and defeated
them all. Mr.. Shafer is very
proud of the cup as they have
-jollied him considerably about
his weight and how the young
fellows would show him up but
he proved conclusively the
saying tnaC q man is only as
old as he feels.
A young fellow giving the
name of Earl Slater and his
home Harrisburgh, S. D, was
arrested in the yards last night
by Officer Hicks and when
searched $40 90 in money and
two gold watches were found
on him. Sheriff Myers came
down this morning and sweated
him a little but could get no
information 80 he was sent to
the county Jail on a vag charge
for ten days until a more thor
ough investigation can be made.

 Selecting a Federal Building Site"
 The committee has held meet ings and are actively trying to solve this perplexing question.

 Matters before Congress-"

 Military Road across the Huachuca Military Reservation"
 Restoration of the Tumaca- cori Mission.
 A government bridge on In ternational Street."
 'Action ou the International Line Claims"
 Relief for settlers on Baca Float" Conditions may make this matter unnecessary to con sider at this session of congress.
