BLOODY FINALE ID ELkS' FAIR
 IN DOUGLAS
Shelter Looks Good to Guests of Club When Two 45's Get to Talking During Fes- tive Occasion

You're a liar" said Big" Bill Le land, foreman of the Fl Paso & South western railroad shops at Douglas.
 No man can say that and get away with it." said Deputy Sheriff Charlie Cross, as he pulled a smoke wagon of the calibeT usually described as forty some odd Leland drew his gun at the same time and the two weapons Toared at once. Suddenly Leland stopped shooting, staggered and fell to the floor.
 Women screamed and dCdged under fare tables and upset crap layouts. Even slender chairs looked good to hide behind One soldier who vas present crawled into the open fire place and partly up the chimney, from which he later was rescued with his uniform covered with sOOt. Another gallant soldier, evidently believing his time to be a fighting man had not arrived, left the side of his fair com panion and hustled out the door and down the street in a little less than ''one, nothing, flat"
 This was the history of the best joke staged thus far during the biz fair of the Douglas Elks' lodge, fof after a moment Leland rose with a smile on his face, Cross grinned and former chief of police, Jim East doub- led over with laughter which lasted internationally throughout the night.
 The story of this escapade, and many other funny features, was re- lated by John E. Newbury, who came to Bisbee yesterday as the special emmissary Of the Bisbee lodge to eX- tend an invitation to the people Of Bisbee, as a whole. and the local lodge of Elks in particular, to visit Doug las and take part in the fair. Friday has been set aside as Bisbee night.
 The Douglas Elks have purchased S5.OOO worth of w. $. $. and thrift stcmps. which will be given away as prizes in a lottery being conducted by the lodge. The grand prize will be baby bonds worth 5000. Second prize S5OO.4 40 in baby bonds; five prizes az sregating S6255O in baby bonds; 15 prizes aggregating S625.50 in baby bonds; 50 prizes aggregating Sl042.99 in baby bonds; 159 prizes aggregatlng s7O4. .73 in baby bonds. The winner of the grand prize must pay the printing bill; no other expense is attached This will be a relatively small amount. Chances are only S1 each, peso orc. a little old bone, or as Mutt" would remark, one round iron man.
 The basement has been re-arranged to resemble an old fashioned barroom with bar maids in attendance. The first floor of the handsome clubhouse has been turned into a little Monte Carlo. with roulette wheels, faro bank tables, crap tables, keno games and all the rest O. it running wide open. You buy chips with real money ana get paid, if you win, with Elks' money which later is transmitted by the cashier into thrift stamps or 5aby bonds. The second floor is used as a dance hall and here, by means of drawing after each dance, more thrift stamps are disposed of. It's a lot of fun all the way through and the bes. part of it is the money goes to help the government win the war. Not penny will go to the lodge or any member; all is pledged to Uncle Sam
 Tuesday has been designated as mih- tsry night: Wednesday as Red Cross night: Thursday will be COW puncheT' night when cattle persons" as Rug gles of Red Gap called them, will be
