FROM OTHER POINTS

TUCSON. June 2S.-Liquors for per-
sonal use can now be obtained from
FL Paso and Los Angeles by freight.
as yesterday local traffic officers Of
the Southern Pacific announced that
they had received instructions that
such shipments for points in Arizona
would be accepted wherever or. .iIat-
ing.
Thus far the Wells-Fargo Express
company. which has been transport
ing shipments to Tucson, has only
accepted consignments originating in
Missouri. The detailed Instructions
for the delivery of personal use ship
ments have not arrived as yet, but are
expected within a day or two. 1t is
believed that the requirements will
be similar to those already announc-
ed by the Santa Fe and the Wells
Fargo, an affidavit stating that the
consignment is for the personal use
of the consignee and will not be used
by him in violation of the state law.
The effec. of the acceptance Of ship
ments by the Southern Pacific will be
to make the transportation of beer
much cheaper. Thus far it has been
impossible to transport it otherwise
than by express from Missouri.
1t is predicted no what the Wells
Fargo company will announce within
a few days that shipments for Arizona
will be accepted from points other
than Missouri
Already advertisements are appear
ing in Los Angeles newspapers offer

HHERIFF WHEELER URGES
STRONG HOME GUARDS

DOUGLAS. June 2s- Sheriff Harry
Wheeler arrived in the city last night
f.r the purpose OF interviewing Gen
raj T. F. Davis relative TO sending
rocps TO the relief of the people of
ne Hereford section. near which place
= command of de facto Mexican troops
IS encamped. creating much uneasi-
ness. The sheriff was informed by
General Davis that he could spare
no troops at the present time, as he
in the event of the outbreak of hos
has only enough for military purposes
,ilities
The Sheriff then gave a statement
urging the organization of home
guards in all parts of the county. not
alone for the particular town in which
organization was effected, but for use
anywhere in the county they may be
needed.
'Bisbee set a beautiful example %
day" said the sheriff. There has
been good organization there for
some time. Today. at a called meet
ing. it was decided to double the num-
,er Of men in il. Each squad leader
vas authorized to secure the services
ii twice as many men as he had pre-
..ously.
"A motion was put and, without a
dissenting vote. it was decided that
The Bisbee guard should be sent to
any part Of the county where its
services night be needed In other
words, ii was the sense OF the meet
ing that the guard was not for Bisbee
alone, but for Cochise county, and
that it was one for all and all for one.
The Bisbee people also raised a large
fund for the purchase of arms and
ammunition for equipping the guard.
Il would like TO see Douglas take
the same step. ! am certain the peo-
pie here are as patriotic as those of
Bisbee, and while they may be amply
protected at the present time, there
is never any way of telling what may
arise. The people of Douglas should
remember. also, that there are outly.
ing and exposed parts of the county
which demand and should have pro.
lection, civil or military.
Some time since | appointed 80
squad leaders in Douglas to organize
home guard. each man to choose &c
