The Mexican Authorities find the Bird Had Elcwn. Charles Thomas, at one time mayor of Tombstone, and who has been spending much of his timo of lata in Mexico, is a visitov in Bisbee today. Mr. Thomas' business claims his attention throughout Sonora, but ho comes direct from Guaymns, where, ho informs the Review, considerable ex-citemQnt was occasioned last Wednesday when a former Cochiso county man made it known that ho, had seen Burt Alvord at Torres, a town GO or 70 miles distant from Guaymas, who was making inquiry as to tho time the first steamer would leave for Mazetlan. Many American minors aro stopping at Guaymas, awaiting a cessation of hostilities, and the authorities, upon learing that Alvord was in tho country, made, a raid on tho American head quarters, hoping to capture tho bold bandit.

Officers have been dispatched to Torres, and if Alvord is in that section it is more than likely that he will bo captured and returned to the Unitad States, Mr. Thomas informs the REVIEW that tho Yaqui rebellion is still in full force, and that many American miners aro wa'ithing, around Guaymas until uch time as they deem it advisable to go into tho mining fields. They do not fear tho Yaauis, but it is tho Mexican soldiers who have doserted from the army and arq responsible for all the depredations lately visited upon foreigners in that His many Cochise county friends will bo pleased to learn that Mr. Thomas has met vith substantial success while in our sister republic. Ho will return to.

No More Russian Suspects to Be Sent There Without Judicial Inquiry London, May On Monday last, on tho initiative of tho Czar, tho Russian council unanimously passed the bill abolishing transport to Siberia and arbitrary exile without judicial inqiiiry It absolutely abolished tho transportation of criminals in tho mass of cases, and tho construction of contral prisons for thoir temporary reception will be hurried. What this means may be partly ap predated from a consideration of the fact that thero aro 300,000 exiles now in Siberia, half of them without having had a trial.

Two-thirds of these lead a nomadic life, preying on the country and suffering and inflicting violence and misery. The romainder havo settled down to a struggle to earn an honest livelihood. WORK OF A MANIAC. Killed his mend That he Would Have Company in Hereafter. Denver, May 21.

Colonel Baden-Powell reports from Mafeking under date of May 13, through Roberts, as follows: Before dawn today, a storm ing party of 250 rushed pickets got into the Staats Protectorate camps from the west along the Molopo Valley.

James Roach, au old timo minor of Bisbee, roturned yesterday from the Prescott country, after an abence of liye years. Jim will place his future in southern Arizona, declaring there is no other section that will equal Ccshise county. An Interesting time is anticipatod at tho opera house tonight when the "Greatest Combination of the 10th century will produce a trip to tho Philippine Islands and return in an hour and fifteen minutes." The company playing at tho opera house is spoken of very highly by the press." Col. Alex O. Brodie, "who was in Phoenix a few days since from his Crown Point mine, reports a lively interest in mining matters in that vicinity.

The Crown Point is exceeding all expectations in the matter of ore, though tho water supply is somewhat limited. The mill, which was recently erected, gives good satisfaction, only that the limited water supply prevents a steady run. The wa.ter used iB pumped from tho mino and sinking continues in the hope of developing the supply. The search for water, however, brings to view constantly now oro bodies, a fact in itself very gratifying, for though a big water supply at tho mine is very desirable it is not an absolute necessity. The Hassayampa river is not far distant and if water is not found at tho mine it can be pumped and piped from the river, though it would involve an expense.

Mr. Brodie believes it will be avoided. The Bluett Boot and Shoo store of Bisbeo has a distinction that draws to it the patronage of all the old-timers in Southern Arizona. It is tho oldest mercantilo house in Bisbee, having begun business eighteen years ago, when only tho Copper Queen company supplied tho demands of tho southern Cochise trade. Mrs.

Bluett is to be congratulated upon the successful manner in which sho haB conducted this business, her prosperity being attributablo to strict business methods, furnishing the host carried in her lines at reasonable rates, boing satisfied wtyh a small margin on tho monoy Invested, But the Boot and Shoo store Is really misnomer, for, aside from making a specialty of tlieso articles, a. department for gentlemen's furnishing goods, ladles' rcady-mado skirts and a largo line of millinery, is coinplsto in every det lil. With ago the house has grown in pub- lie favor. THE C0BRE GRANDE. A Supreme Court Decision in Favor of the Company.

The Phoenix Republican of the 18th says: Mi L. H. Chambers, attorney for the Cobro Grande Mining company, has returned frdm the City of Mexico, where he has Veen tho last three weoks engaged in an adjustment of the dispute between tho company and W. C. Greene and his associates.

Much has been published ih Arizona and Texns papers regarding the contention between the Cobre Grande and Greene peoplo, unditcame tqbo gonerally understood that the latter had been placed in undisputed possession of the valuable Cobrd Grande mine: Said Mr. Chalmers last niglit: "We have not cared to go into print until something could be definitely said and I was surprised from time to timo to read in American papers that the GreenB people were ultimately victorious and the case was at an end. I may now say that tho situation is as follows: Wo brought suit in the court of Arizpe for possession of the mine and a decree Was ordered in our favor, whereupon Mr. Greene took a writ of amparo. A writ of amparo corresponds in a general way to our writ of habeas corpus and may be sued out at any stage of a legal proceeding, the person praying for it averting that he is being deprived of his constitutional rights.

"In this case, after the decree giving us possession of tho Cobre Grande had been issued. Mr. Greene obtained a writ of amparo, having sworn that the judge of tho court at Arizpo was in collusion with the Cobre Grando company. This writ has the effect of interrupting any legal proceedings which may be in progress and goes directly to tho sopreme court of the republic. Tho writ in this case has been fully heard dismissed by the unanimous voice of the supreme court, whose members say that on the showing 61 Mr.

Malgarejo they are surprised that tho Greene people had the audacity to ask for tho writ. It is the belief of tho judges of the supreme court and of the court at Arizpe that Mr. Greene and his associates wero endeavoring to deprive the Cobre Grando company of its rights. "The company i3 left, by this decision, to proceed with litigation in the court at Arizpe and it is safe to say that only a short time willl interveno before the order already issued will be enforced. The course taken by Mr.

Greene and his party was a last desperate stand on technicalities and the Mexican courts have expressed themselves as convinced that they have no rights in the property and have so decided. Obituary. The Angel of Death visited tha home of Neill E. Ferguson yesterday. His infant child died of an attack of tonsil-itis.

The attending physician, Dr. Ed-mundson, was unable to save tho child, who was literally strangled by the ton-solitic attack. The funeral, which occurred this afternoon at 2 o'clock, was largely attended by the friends of the bereaved paronts. John Cronnman, who was overtaken by a painful accident while working in the mine some timo 6ince, i9 able to bo around again. J.

A. Kelly, formerly with tho BanK of Bisbee, but more recently with tho commercial department of the Copper Queen company, has resigned tho latter position to accept a place with the Cochise Review. Mr. Kelly is at home in any department of business he may be placed, and the Review and Mr. Kelly expect mutual results.

The socialists are after John -James Ingalls. However, Jon J. wont partic ularly mind; tho old bird has been indicated by many a moon of caustic debate. There was time in his tortuous career when ho was set upon simultaneously by a clergyman and Bob Fitzsimmons. Ingalls impaled the dom-Inee on tho deadly rapier of his wit, but Bob proved more obdurate.

It was ho who stigmatized tho writer as "a living skoloton with a rubber neck." J. A. Kelley.of tho Review spent the Sabbath in Naco, calling, on. his numerous friends and incidentally doing somo business for tho papor. A two hours downpour of rain visited Naco yesterday afternoon, following which a damaging hailstorm occurred.
