The Clifton clarion., 1889-04-19
County Capital Chat.

The many friends of Adolph SOio- mon especially his democratic friends, in this county, will be pleased to learn ofhis success in the last municipal cleo ton in Fl Paso, of which place he is now an honored citizen. .Dolph, as we all call him. has served this county in various official positions. and, to his credit be it said. always to the satis- faction of his constituents, and it is safe to say he will SO acquit himself of the responsibilities thrust upon him by the citizens of Fl Paso that they will never have occasion to regret their ac- ton in electing him to office. a
 Under Sheriff Newell received last week the sad intelligence of the death of his father at the advanced age of 72 years. Speaking of MT. Newell re- minds me to compliment him upon the ability he displays in filling the office of under sheriff. In fact every one says, Sheriff Whelan has the right man in the right place at last.
 A social dance was given Saturday night at the Court House. The music was excellent, but owing to the short notice given the attendance was small. For further particulars inquire of Dr. Lacy.
 Judge Barnes. Messrs. Lowell, Hen ey and Col. Vaughn visited Pima on Sunday, where they were entertained by Messrs. Weech, Webb and Taylor. returning Sunday night very much pleased with their visit.
 Court adjourned Monday noon for the term. Among the most import ant cases decided was the appeal from the probate court of the settlement of the account of D. II. Ming, adminis- trator of the estate of J. B. Collins, which was in favor of Ming. Judge Barnes in rendering his decision com plimented Mir. Ming on his manage mcnt of the estate and readily con- ceded the extra compensation asked.
 Four prisoners were sentenced, all for grand larceny, to one year each in the penitentiary. They leave to- morrow for Yuma, acdumpanied by Messrs. Parks, O'Neil, Fuller and Ol- ney as guards
 The most important event of the week was the rendition of the final report of the grand jury. Every one was on tip toe of expectation as it was supposed some action would be taken in regard to the county print ing steal, and all were anxious to know the result. The friends of TIE CLARION have no cause to complain of the report, as, in the words of one of them. it is a scorcher. Iappend the names ofthe gentlemen composing the grand jury who so boldly sat down on the steal attempted by our Board of Scrubs: P. Maher, F. w. Fuller, W. C. Blank, $. J. Sims, Henry Fowler. Peter Anderson, Louis Volckel, H., Dowdle, J. Malley, C. R. Freeman, R. B. Casey, $. Abraham, Ed Whelan. Adam Welker. Malley, from the Ara vapai. was the only one who could be heard on the streets attempting to ex- cuse members of the board for their action in this matter. He pleaded ig- norance and the baby act in their be- half but it would not work, and a cloud in the shape of an indictment is thrown over three rising statesmen, Dysart, Cutter and Bailey. THE CLARION is vindicated, and if it does not get the county printing, it will get considerable satisfaction, which, in the words of Jim Smith, "is a heap"
 As the matter is now in the courts it would be we'll to let it rest for the present, but the Reformcrs, the advo- cates of '.IIonest Administration and Low Taxes" must toe the mark or they will get scorchihg from
 PROsPECTOR.
