 Hunting up Row.
 Clifton Corr Lordsburg Liberal.
 Quite ripple of excitement was appar- ent last week when the news was brought in by MT. Geo. W. Wells that Phin Clan ton was rounding up and branding MT. Wells cattle. It seems the cattle at one time belonged to Clanton. and when he was convicted of theft in Apache county several years ago, gave power of attor- ney to Mir. J. T. Randall to dispose of the same Randall held and took care of the stock some s or 9 months, and becoming tired of the charge turned the outfit over to Clanton's brother-in- law, less the ex- pense for his trouble and hired help. This expense was agreed to and considered reasonable by the brother-in-law and hundred head of cattle was sold to defray the same. Some of the cattle were sold to MT. Wells; and 1t is a portion of said cattle that ClantOn Is claiming and taking possession of. When MT. Wells protest ed against Clanton doing what he did, Clanton claimed he had authorized no one to sell his cattle. This feature of the case appearing Mr. Wells went to the Gar field and saw Mir. Randall Mir. Randall produced his authority and authenticated power of attorney duly certified as of re- cord which he, Randall, turned over to Mir. Wells. Wells thereupon swore out a complaint against Clanton and war rant was issued for his arrest. Deputy Sheriff Abe Boyle and Jerry Smith start ed out to execute the writ. Thus the case stands on the 24th inst The affair is the topic of the hour and 1t Is felt that blood is likely to be spilled, as Clanton is reported to be a desperate man and is ac- companied by a man named Mitchell who has like reputation and Is known to be q fighter. ClantOn was sentenced for ten years and was pardoned after serv- ing about two. He Is also the brother of Ike Clanton, who was killed few years ago on the Bonito by deputy United States Marshal, who had warrant for his arrest for stealing horses and cattle from the Indians on the San Carlos res ervation, MT. Wells is an old resident of Gro, eight miles above here, an exem- plary citizen and Is favorably spoken of for nomination for member of the board of supervisors by all par ties. Jim Randall is also an old resident of the county and well and favorably known. His friends are pushing him forward to run for sheriff. He Is a min CT and Is now pursuing that calling near the Garfield camp.
 The sheriffs posse after Phin Clan ton and Mitchell came in Tuesday eve ming with both of them. They will have an examination as soon as the district at torney arrives. Clanton informs your cor respondent that he has only handled his own cattle and that no one had right to sell them. Quite an interest is being felt in the matter and the developments are be- ing watched with interest.
 The Socorro Mine Horror.
 Nogales Record.
 The following is the account given by MT. Iberri of Guaymas, the lessee of the | Socorro Mine, owned by ST. Serrano | The "Socorro' mine Is situated twenty i two miles East by North of Cal bo. It Is one of the ancient mines of Sonora, its | first location being unknown. It has l been extensively worked and many of the old workings are so filled by waste that 1 their location IS unknown. Over the centre of the mine, there being works on ! both sides of 1t, there Is an arroyo, which 1 except in time of flood, Is perfectly dry l On the bank of this arroyo, there has long stood an old adobe house which on the night of the 9th inst. was destroyed by the unusual flood that visited that section of country. At about eight o'clock in the night the day shift had just been relieved by the night shift which had barely haC time to commence work when, without { | moments warning, the immense volume Ot water, then cOursing down the arroyo having eaten its way through the floor O. the house above mentioned poured into the mine, which 1t in very few moment: filled i'll every crevice, finding an outle through the entrances of the mine. The sand, gravel and stones which were washed down by the waters in the arroyo gradually filled the mine until 1t was full 0 sand, earth and stones, when the water flowed over 1t again. As the miners wer working in the lower levels 1t IS nor than probable that they lied buried at ; depth of four hundred feet, that beln: the depth of the mine. At the time O inundation there were thirteen Yaquis seven Mexicans, and a boy name un known in the mine, making twenty-on ln all. Not single person escaped t tell the tale. A short time after the tel rible occurrence Mr. Porchas the superin tendent, went out to visit the mine an found it as stated above. Tine miner were nearly all married and leave widow and large numbers of children in destitut circumstances. MT. Iberri states tha no foresight could have averted thi catastrophe as the working through whic
 the water entered the mine was unknow
 to any one now connected with the min The mine is said to be completely ruine as 1t is not sufficiently rich or valuabl ; to warrant it's re excavation; and, in fac 1t would be almost impossible to obtai f men to clean it out, as Mexican miner
 do not like to enter the mines where O.
 currence5 of this nature have taken plac
 Mr. lberri says it will cost many thou
 ands of dollars to clean the mine out an
 make 1t secure for future working. 4
 the poor miners must have died almO |, lnstantaneously, and are well buried al TT at rest, perhaps 1t would be best to iea7 them so. May they rest ill peace. l. Republican Territorial Central Commit, | Apache: Alfred Ruiz, James Scott. y E. Morrison.
