SITS NOT MY WAY"

'fIt's not my way"
How often is this heard.
"It' s not my way, to speak the kindly word;
feel enough, but tits not well to speak,
To tell my loving out it seems SO weak"
st s not my way
How often hearts have broken
Because the loving word has been unspoken,
Because the smile we looked for was frown,
The hand that should uplift, but held US down
tits not my way
| To speak the word that craving love requires
To voice approval, foster vain desires"
Hearts often faint and fall out by the way,
Because to speak is not your way.
'It's not my way"
All, we'll, when death shall come
And touch the best loved lips and make then
dumb
Sad will it be for you if grim regret
And stern remorse upon your heartstrings sci
Their fingers firm,
Because it is their way to torture and to wiring
Then you'll remember every little thing
The smile you did not give, the word unspoker
Which might have gilded life and kept hear
unbroken.

is not distinguished for its beauty and

that they only gathered it for their
divinations when the great dog star

moon should see the deed.

EXCITEMENT AT CLIFTON.
Stout Resistance to Quarantine Off
 eerS in the Copper Camp.

There was quite little exitemint in Clifton on Monday, February 20. Four cases of smallpox having been discov- cred in two houses two days before at the extreme end of Chase Creek street, vigorous measures were taken at once by the community and those in author ity to suppose and confne 1t there until arrangement could be made to remove them out of town. The families were Mexicans and two of the men had been brakesman on the "Baby" gauge road running up to Metcalf where, 1t is thought. they were pobablv exposed to the disease before it was quarantined there. At town meeting Saturday night committee was appointed to decide what was best to be done and all agreed to abide by their decision. They decided that house should be built for the patients out of town to be used as relief hospital. A number of men were sent out last Sunday who put up the house and 1t was furnished with new bedding and all things necessary to the comfort of the sick.
 Arrangements being completed on Monday they proceeded to remove the patients, when resistance was made by & number of Mexicans from an adobe near by The officers Billey Hart deputy sheriff, and Billy Hamilton. constable. were we'll pre- pared, however. for this attack having heard rumoTs before hand that they would give trouble, and return such a warm fire that things were pretty lively about there for a little while, about hundred shots be- | ing fired but no one seriously hurt. The Mexicons all struck to their adobv until told by the officers to get out in five minutes or they would be blown up with dynamite, when there began at orce 8 hasty scramble out the back door, over the fence and away, any | where.
 Fourteen were arrested however and put in iail. The officers and their par ty then proceeded to remove the affect ed families and accomplished it without more disturbance.
 The houses from which they were talk en, were burned that night with their contents. thus we hope cutting short the career of that dread enemy, small pox in this community.
 The officers and their newly appoint ed deputies deserve much credit fol the coolness, bravery and determin- ation with which they executed their duties.
 About fifty armed men guarded the town and jail that night to prevent any further disturbance.
 By these prompt and vigorous meas ures we hope the excitement and troub' Ie is all done away with, along with the removal of the cases from our midst and that Clifton will continue undis- turbed in it's usually prosperous, peace ful way.-Bulletin.

The Williams News reportes the find

At this distant period, the location of the ground was known only to the Navajo Indians and few Mormons, and they kept the sec ret we'll The Mormons left the country and no one was able to locate the grounds until few days ago party of cowboys striking acrcss the country found it. The diggings in earlier years were known by the name of Adams dig gings, named after Mormon by that name, and from which Adams and his progeny derived their subsistence even unto wealth. These old placer grounds were found to be between the little Col orado and the Colorado rivers, in bei- lows-shaped conyon, on the Navajo mountains. These in times past have had the reputation of being the richest placer d;ggings in the world. The dis coverers immediately on the return of their comrade with temporary supply of provisions, broke camp and started for town.

Sufferers by rheumatism are advised by London writer to try ant baths. First find your ant-hill, then sack, lH- to which gather the ants and their eggs, together with some of the earth close 1t tightly and then pluEg it into hot water bath. In a short time there begins to be given eff peculiar pungent odor' and then the patient must be immersed The sensation of this ''ant water IS one of intense irritation to the skin; but the rheumatism is drawn out of the muscles and the victim, it is declared, rises as fresh as a new laid egg, without pain in his whole body.
 Since ,ime began the ant has been praised for it's industry and perseyer- ance, but if those qualities have ever been of any benefit to any living creat- ure on earth save the ant, we have not heen able to discover it. Selfish to the last degree, the ant consumes everything 2 and produces nothing save more ants; like the two-percenter, it lives upon the efforts of those who do produce and the pla, where It multiphes rapidly be- comes q desert. The ant is the goldbug of the insect creation, which absords and contracts all things but the ant. Now that some physician has discovered 1me good use to which the ant can be put, let us rejoice while we regret that it's human prototype, the goldbug can not be made similarly useful. The ant, boiled is good for rheumatism the gold bug. boiled. will not smell as bad as he does unboiled This is .he difference, if any one should ask you. As Arizona is very short on goIdbugs and very long on ants, some epterprising person may do we'll by bagging ants for big bathing estabIisllme. ts were the ant baths may be given to millions of achiug mortals.-

Word from Phoenix yesterday morn ing stated that Governor Murphy had refused to offer reward for Wright and HoIladay. In this action Gov. Murphy has shown no regards whatever for the people of Graham county. How long o Lord! how long! will such narrow, biyoted partisian fellows as Murphy continue to rule over Arizona. Murphy it IS stated, was very snubbish to Coun- cilman OIney who requested the reward Olney took occasion to tell Governor Murphy that if he(Olney had consented to be led by the nose by Murphy during the legislative session, there would be no trouble now about Graham county getting the customary reward offered for fugitive murdeIers. It has always been the custom in Arizona for Gov ernors to offer rewards for escaed mur- derers and Murphy's actions towards Graham county is reprehensible. -Bul' letin.

ANOTHER JAIL
 DELIVERY,
FOUR MEN OVERPOWER THE GUARD AND GAIN FREEDOM
 TUESDAY NIGHT.
Sheriff Clark Doing All in His Power
 tO Effect Their Re-Capture

Wright and Holladay, the young men charged with murder of Alien, at the residence of Wiley Holladay, near Eden, in July last; "Climax" Jim, in- dicted for cattle stealing, aud a man named Kline, who held upa a saloon Tn Clifton, all made their escape from the county jail Tuesday night.
 The men were all confined in the new iall purchased last summer. This jail consists of corridor and three cells. The cell doors are supposed to lock by a lever all at one time, flom the out side, when the jailer can enter the cor ridor and lock each cell with paddock. The cell doors are closed from the out side by a bar thatruns the length Of the three cells. In some way the prison- CTS had disconnected one of the cell doors from this locking bar. lrve Ad- ans was acting as guard and Tuesday night he told the prisoners, who were all in the corridor, to go to their cells. This they did the four men who eScap- ed going into the cell, the door or which had been disconnected with the locking bar. It IS presumed that when Adams threw tue lever to lock the cells that the men closed the cell door by hand. After throwing the lever, Adams as was customary, went into the cor ridor to put the padlocks on each cell. When he had entered the corridor the four men rushed from the cell and over- powered him, taking the keys of the ialI and his six. shooters and then lock ed him in cell, where he was found- Wednesday morning when Sheriff Clark's brother went to the jail to take the day guard.
 It has been predicted many times since last court that Wright and Hol- laday would take desperate chances to escape another trial for the crime for which they stand charged.
 One day last week, on the return of Sheriff Clark from Phoenix, he dis covered that an attempt had been made to break the jail as he believed from the outside One cornerr of the corridor had beed sprung and piece of one Of the bars had been broken off but care fully put back in place with wax.
 The escape is much to be regretted. The jail is frst-class in every partlcu- lar, but no jail will hold desperate men unless properly handled and guarded. Certain, it is taking chances for one man to enter this jail corridor without onother guard present on the outside. The prisoners should have always been locked in their cells before dark when two guards were present.
 On receiving the news of the escape Wednesday Sheriff Clark was all broke up. but soon rallied from the shock and lost no time in organizing a possie to cut sign and find 8 trail if possible He can be depended on to do all in his power to capture the prisoners, but they had a start of nearly ten hours before their escape was known in Solo, monville.
 District Attorney Rawlins telegraph, ed Hon. Geo. A. Olney at Phoenix to see the Governor about offering a re ward for Wright and Holladay. He also telegraphed to H. c. Day, chair man of the board of supervisors, telling him of the escape of the prisoners.

MURDER AND ROBBERY.

Last Saturday morning the news reached White Oaks that George Will son had been killed and Forrest Smith, brother of our fellow townsman, Fred Smith, had been robbed last week at San Pedro, Mexico, by three Mexican highwaymen.
 It was at first feared that the Wilson mention ed in the dispatch was George Wiikerson who recently left here for San Pedro: for 1t was known that Will kerson was a partner of Smith, and the dispatch stated that Wilkerson and Smith were partners; but letter from t'ronk Parker, manager of the San Pedro Jones, and Wilson was only an as- stunned name.
 Jones and Smith were returning from the company's store, when they were suddenly con fronted by the bandits and money demanded. Jones, who was un- der the influence ofliQuor, made show of resistance, and was shot dead; Smith meanwhile, being uuarmed, had taken to hls heels, but was overtaken and made to 'cough up," the booty amount ing to about $500 Smiths life hung in the balance for moment. but by lit- tie diplomacs and great deal of strength, he succeeded i'll eluding his would-be murderers and escapedin the darkness.
 The officials were promptly notified, and persuit at once begun. It has since been reported that all thrse of the murderers have deen captured, and, as Mexican justice is swift and certain, a shooting bee has probably taken place by this time.-Wbite Oaks Eagle.
