last week and 80 wa Chase Creek. The
track Of the Coronado railroad At the feet
Of the Aetoalf incline was severed so
heavily With waste, fron dumps above,

|. Z. Solomon and Pink Robinson cane
in from SslsnOnTills last Friday A. N.
Mr.. Solomon heard that the S~olononvills
hunting party, enc Of Who's was his sen
Charley, had bs0s drownsd. His fears
hovsysE we're sllsysd fron what he hsSrd
at this place and concluded to return
home. Pink, vks is a deputy sheriff as-
~sOmpsnied BY Mr.. Wells went in the d.
%restiOn Of the Blue where the party IL sup-
posed to be.
Quite a nppie Of excitement
was apparent last week when the news
was brought in by Mr.. Geo. W. Wells
that Phin. ClantSn Was rounding up aud
branding Mr.. Wells cattle. Il see ms the
cattle At one tine belonged to ClAptsn and
when he Clanton wal convicted Of theft Of
cattle in Apae he county, s%svsrsal years
age, gave a power Of attorney to Mr.. j.
7. Randall to dispose Of the same. Ran-
dali held and took sars Of the stock some
8 or 9 months and bssOming tired Of the
charge turned the outfit over to Clanton's
brothsr-iHlAw less the expense for
his trouble and hired help. This
expense was agreed to and sonlidsred
reasonable BY the brother-in-law and a
hundred head Of cattle was sold to defray
the m Some Of the cattle we're sold to
Mr.. Wells; and it is = portion Of said cat
tie that ClsntOu is claiming aad taking
possesrion Of. When Mr.. Wells protest
ed against Clsnton doing what he did,
ClRnton claimed that be had authorized no
one to sell his cattle. Thin feature Of the
case appearing Mr.. Wells went to the
Garfield and saw Mr.. Randall. Mr.. Ran
dali produced his authority an authenticA-
ted power Of attorney duly certified as Of re-
cord which he, Randall, turnsd over to Mr..
Wells. Wells thersupon swore out a com
plaiat against Clanton and a warrant was
issued fer his arrest. Depty Sheriff Abe
Boyle and Jerry Smith started, cut to exc
cate the writ. Thus the case stands on the
Oath inst. The affair is the topic Of the
hour and IL Is felt that blood is likely to
be spilled as ClAAton is reported to bo a
desperate man and is Is accompanied, by a
party named Mitchell whO has n like re-
putAtien and is known to be a 6ghtsr.
ClantSn was sentenced for 10 years and
was pardoned after serving ab0ut two.
He is also the brother Of Ike ClantoA who
was killed a few years ago on the Bonits
BY a deputy Uuitsdl States marshal, who
had a warrant for his arrest for stealing
cattle from the Indians Of the San Carlos
reservation. Mr.. Wells is an old resident
at Orc, 8 miles above here. an exemplary
citizen and ia faYorably spoken OF for
nomination for a member Of the
beard Of supervisors by all
parties. Jim Randall 1t also an old resi-
dent of the county we'll and favsrably
known. His friends are pushing MIN fer
ward to RON for sheriff Jim was a deputy
sheriff for years. He is a miner and is
new pursuing that calling nea the Gar
Gsld camp.
1t is worry likely that the Hon. ?. N.
Phdrnond will be elected, if be runs, To
the territorial Legislature at the ensuing
election. Mr.. Tkurmsud served in the
Legislature of the state Of KENTUCKY IS or
20 years ago and is familiar with Parlia-
msntary ussges, and from his long resi-
dsnes in tho territory is acquainted with
the nssds Of the people.
Candidates ars beginning to show thea
selves. Howard c. BSoa was here last
week lottinE every BODY know that if the
girl in Missouri didn't go back on him he
would fall int the benedict ranks ard
march the balance Of his life to marital
music. He said be wished no was as sure
Of the girl a. he is Of being elected shor-
ia.
