Santa Clausville, Iceland, Dec. I2, 1901. Mr. A. P. Skinner, Main St., Bisbee Arizona, Dear Sir: In looking for a location as a dis tributing point, for my visit to the dear people of Bisbee. I find your store most central and I take the liberty of asking permission to make my an nual display in your window. The articles I have concluded to present this year to your townspeople, consists of goocl warm Underclothing, Socks and Shoes, as well as a nice collection of stylish Hats, pretty Shirts, and some of the most fetching Neckwear I have ever seen. I have about concluded to wear one of the ties myself, instead of my fur coat, THEY ARE SO WARM. I will bring several dozen dress gloves, silk lined, that make you feel like a real Prince. You know I never used to wear suspenders, r- but this year I have such pretty silk ones that I couldn't resist the temptation to put a pair on, and do you know I actally feel young again. Did I tell you about the fancy hose I am wearing. My goodness, I am getting too giddy for anything. Oh, but they are warm ones; and of course I had to don a pair of those sky blue Boston garters you told me about. Now, Mr. Skinner, I know this is impos ing somewhat upon your gcol nature, but as there is no other location in Bisbee that suits me, I ear nestly hope you will grant my request, and I will try and see that you do not regret it Ve-y siecerely yours, Santa Claus. p. s I would like to arrive between the 15th and 20th if rM)MMa with VOU. Vs. New Mexico Reached Otero for Governor. Washington, Dec. 18. The President this afternoon appointed Miguel Otero to be governor of the territory of New Mexico. Otero is the present encumbent, having served for four years. Many of the Republicans of New Mexico fought bitterly to prevent his reappointment, but to no purpose. Washington, Dec. 18. Among the nominations sent by the President to the senate today were Benjamin P. Baker, of Nebraska, associate justice of the supreme court of New Mexico, and Frederick Muller, receiver of public moneys at Santa Fe, New Mexico. THE DISTRICT COURT The Trial of Criminal Cases Still Going On. WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Tombstone, Dec. 18. Albert Thur man, was arraigned to plead to indict ment for robbery and a plea of not guilty entered. Allen R.English en tered of record as attorney. Bail fixed at $500, which was given. Andrew Johnson, whose case was re ferred to the next grand jury on a charge of assault with intent to com mit murder, being the shooting of George Bernard some weeks oso, was admitted to bail in the sum of $500. Frank Ratledge, under indictment for assault with a deadly weapon, with drew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty of an assault, by agree ment. He was sentenced by the court to a fine of ?". George Aston was excused from fur ther attendance as a trial Juror. The case of Inez Lopez, charged with stealing a certain buckskin mar, the property of Pedro Qulros, was or dered to trial and a jury was selected as follows: W. H. Tate, Hood Porter, ' George Clawf on, William Allison, H.J C. Aston, Jese Jackson, T. B. Roesch, E. G. Adams, G. P. Hagler, Gus.Hick- .,;.,.. ,,,,. .,. ,,.. nw.--i ey, Joseph Shnrb and H. L. Hinklei AFTEIINOON' SESSION. After the instructions to the jury had been delivered attorney Swain ad dressed the jury for the piosecution. Ing being made of the absence of a ma terial witness, the continuance was or dered. There are quite a number of the citi zens of Tombstone, and also Bisbee people in attendance at the court, who are very outspoken in denouncing the action of the grand jury and its fore man in preparing, and returning, snch a report in referring to Justice Wil liams, of Bisbee, as they did and as published in the Review of this morn ing. This number includes many who are opposed to Justice Williams politi cally and also those who are prejudiced against him on personal grounds Not one person has been heard by your cor r spondent to express approval of the action of the grand jury in the matter referred to, since all concur in stating it as their opinion 'unqualified that if the facts in the case are as stated by the grand jury, formal charges should have been preferred, and that It was the sworn d tty of the grand jury to have done so, while if their statements were not fully verified by evidence the attack upon S. K. Williams should not have been made. NOTES. Judge Perrin returned on Monday from a trip of several weeks' duration to his former home in Kentucky and to other eastern states. Daring the present term of court hardly an instance of lawlessness or Cutting Out Politics From the Judiciary Washington, Deo. 18 There was a decided ripple In political circles today whert President Roosevelt stated pub li ly to some gentlemen who called on him that he wished it to be distinctly understood that he is in earnest in his intention to take all judicial appoint ments out of politics. Today, in dis cussing the selection of Judge Baker, of Indiana, for the Circuit court, he reiterated with emphasis, that political "pull" should hereafter have no weight whatever in making appointments to the federal bench. In seeking infor mation concerning the qualifications of possible appointees the President will, of course, be glad to hear from senators and representatives from the distriot or circuit involved. But he makes it plain that their representa tions will have no more weight than those of any 'other citizens of good in formation concerning the personality and fitness of the men under considera tion. In fact, efforts to gives political aspect to the selection of any given man for a federal judgeship will harm rather than help his chances. The President farther Intimates that when a vacancy on a bench Is to be filled he expects to depend largely upon the ad vice of other juJges and of well known lawyers, and that their opinion's will be given consideration, Irrespective of their party affiliations. The Tobacco Trust Abroad. Berlin, Dec. 18. President Duke, of the American Tobacco company, today acquired the two big cigarette facto r'es of Dresden and Berlin and will amalgamate them with the trust. He left this morning for St. Petcrsbug to purchase the leading cigarette factory of Russia. Prominent Mormon Murdered at Salt Lake Salt Lake, Utah, Dec, 18 The" body of James R.

An Exciting Time In Streets of Tucson THE EL PASO CARNIVAL W. E. Tyler, connected with the Greene Consolidated company, is stop ping in Bisbee for a few days en route to his home In Bakerafield, Cal. In speaking of the Yaqui country, Mr. Tyler sa!d: "You have no Idea of the richness t the country I have just been through. I never saw so much good country with fine mineral showing in all my life. You see these pieces of silver and gold? Well, I got them from the Yaquls and they told tne they could show us moun tains of the same stuff. We did not stop very long in any one place and kept moving as we were looking for a good route to run a railroad from the Cananeas to Guaymas, thus giving the W Greene company an outlet and seaport for the handling of their freight. A railroad built through this country would open up another mineral coun try, equally as rich as the Cananeas and with more gold and silver." When asked about the trouble be tween the Greene interest and those of General Egas, Mr. Tyler would not ..i i . .i i.... ..I j .t. testimony did not conclude till 939 S'l"""1' urBuu, uUauu 1 La a.a t.nf a. FnA immuaalMn that . UO Vn9 UUWCA wm .UJ LJ- niwu .uw o A lively shooting scrape made-things interesting on Congress street, Tucson, last Tuesday morning, says the Citizen. Frank Linwood is a negro gambler who ha9- been here for the past three months. Be is a fellowwho Is always looking for trouble, and the last few. djjs it has been predicted by many of the boys that he wouid "get killed." This riornlng he entered the Arizona Club and began to make trouble. He was forced to leave there and went into the Legal Tender with blood in his eye. He stepped up to the faro table, but Henry Nesbltt, who was in charge, refused to let him pU.y, as it is against the rules of the house to allow a negro to play faro. This only added fuel to the flames. Linwood raised a big row and Nesbltt grabbed his six shooter from the table drawer and pursued the fleeing negro. He followed him out of the front door onto the street. Here the interesting part of the scrap took place. Linwood, who is a big and powerful negro, grabbed Nesbltt, who is a small man, and bent him back like a reed. Nesbltt's arms were stretched out and his doable-action six shooter went off accidentally, the bullet breaking the plate glass window in the cigar store. There was no one In the store at the time, and after passing through several cigar cases the bullet spent itself. Linwood was frightened by the dis charge of the gun and let Nesbltt go. No sooner was Nesbltt released than he bit the negro a powerful blow over the head with the gun which would have fractured the skull of an ordinary man. It was sufficient to put Linwood out of the game, however, and in a few minutes Marshal Taylor arrived and took Nesbitt into custody. Both com batants were arrested and each paid a fine of $20.

Mr. Gordon H. True, who has charge of the live stock experiments of the Arizona experiment station, returned last week from the convention of the National Live Stock association at Chicago, to which he went as a dele gate at large from this territory. The convention, he says, was the most In teresting in the history of the associa tion aad he thinks its deliberations will be produclve of much good to the live stock interests of the country. Af ter the tdjoarnmeat of the convention Mr. True visited friends In Wisconsin and elsewhere in the north. Wherever he went be found cold and unpleasant weather,, bat he fortunately escape! the blizzard which is just now ravaging the north. Mr Arthur Keech, secretary of the International Miner's Association with headquarters at El Paso, is in Bisbie for the purpose of enrolling teams to contest in the Miner's drilling contest and to distribute advertising matter relating to the Carnival to be given in El Paso in January. Mr. Keech had heard that Bisbee has several very strong double-handed drilling teams. There will be teams from differ ent pa:ta of Arizona and New Mexico and two from Chihuahua, Mexico. He declared the contest for the prizes will be one of the best ever witnessed in the west. No teams have yet been en tered from either Colorado or Culifor nla and it Is not known whether any of the champions from these tao slates will compete. The loving cup presented by the Smelter and Mine Supply company Is a beauty, and cost over $200. To lift the cup it must be won in three successive contests. The entrance fees are $20 for the double-handed and $10 for the singles. ' El Paso Is making great preparations to entertain her visitors and the people there hope to have a large nnmber from Bisbee and this section of the country. "The International Miner's Associa tion is doing a great work for the mln lor industry of the southwest," said Mr. Keech, "and,we expect to have large attendance of its members dur ing the Carnival week. A year ago we had less than 100 members and now we have over 200 and adding new mem bcrs every day." Mr. Keech will spend a few days In Bisbee and then make a trip to the Cananeas. Back from Glebe. Mr B.Jones returned from Globe Sunday, where he had been for a week as s witness in a damage suit against the G V G & N railway, based on the killing of a man last year. When the accideni occurred Mr. Jones was super intendent of the sued railroad. The result of the trial of the case was a hung jury. It' was stated 'that nine jurymen were for the railroad and three for the plaintiff; the attorneys for the company claim that nine was sufficient to have rendered a verdict In a civil case, bat as the jury failed to do so the case will come up for trial again at the next term. Mr. Jones reports unusual activity in the mining industry at Globe and a rapid and substantial growth in that city? NACO.'.December 17. Special Correspondence. One of the most pleasing events In the history of Naco occurred Sunday evening, when a grand banquet was tendered the employees of the Cana nea company's mercantile department at Naco, Arizona, and Naco, Sonora, known as the Cananea Supply store, by the manager, S. M. Agulrre. The d'nner was given at the Hotel Naco and was a masterpiece of the chef's art,'as well as being admirably chosen and perfectly served. The wines were of the choicest, and many speecheswere Imade, both witty and eloquent. The .occasion was one of importance. It commemorated the successful months that intervened be tween. last March and the 31st of Octo ber. It was congratulatory on the wonderful growth and the rapidly ac quired great business of the stores of the Cananea company during that time. Last March Mr. Agulrre, Little Pete and Fred Riley opened up the stores on so small a scale that they actually sold out several times. From that small beginning, by good, energetic business management, has arisen the present fine establishment, and thirty five employees sat down last evening to the dinner. There were many ex cellent speeches made, In which the Cananea company was duly eulogized on the sterling quality of.its employees, the capability and energy of its man agers, and frequent mention was made of that remarkable specimen of pluck, endurance, ability and success, Mr. W. C. Greene. Among the speakers were Messrs. H. D. Johnson, toastmaster; S, M. Agulrre, A. D. Hinton, W. Eck erley, F. Martinez, J. Bordwell, R. Reay, L. Kennedy, T. Bates, R. V. Daniels, V.R.N. Greaves. The courses were interspersed with the speeches on the various topics chosen, and the banquet lasted at least three hours. An attemppt was made to hold up a resident on Maini'street last Friday night. The assailant jumped from be hind a building, and with leveled re volver, demanded that the party hold up his hands; instead he grabbed the gun and quite a struggle ensued for its possession. The weapon was cocked and neither cared for it to explode in his direction. Theories of the res!-' dent failed to arouse anyone. At last the bandit suggested an armstice by proposing to leave the pistol with him, which was agreed and the bandit disap peared in the darkness. A number Jof objectionable charac ters were brought up before Judge Greaves lately. A batch of them were escorted up to Bisbee for terms of va rious lengths. The dimensions of the great bull ring in Naco, Sonora, are enormous, and preparations, on a collosal scale, are being made for the fights Christ mas eve. Constable Ells and Judge Greaves attended court last Friday, returning Saturday. Several telegrams were sent urging Ells prompt return to Naco "The stores are fixing their various iinPi of Xmas goods, and the Naco youngsters are preparingfor the advent ot Santa Claus. P. Sandoval, the well known banker and merchant, of Nogales, is in town attending to business matters. The jallcontractorsare pushlngthelr work and the building will be complete in a few days. Activity at Cananea. Carl Ciausei, consulting engineer ot the Cananea Consolidated Copper com pany, spent a few hours in Bisbee Wednesday on business for his com pany. When asked as to the progress being made at La Cananea, be said " there was more activity In the big cop per camp than there ever has been heretofore. We are now rannlng our four large fu mates and by the middle of January will have No. 5 ready to run, and with this additional furnace will give us a total production of 100 tons of copper bullion per day, and we shall continue talncrease our output as fast as we can get the furnaces up. "The grade of the railroad Is finished into Cananea, but on account of shortage of rails we are handicapped In getting the road through as fast as we would like to. When the road is finished, which will be In the early part of the year, it will be a wonderful help to us and the sarrounding coon try. We can get our machinery in very fast and put it np in a very short time. "The camp is building up very fast, the new town on the mesa is looming up like a small city and we will pass Bisbee in another ye3r sure. We now have close to 5000 white people in and near Cananea."
