Splendid Service.

 Chas. F. Kanen, well-known by both the proprietors of the ERA for several years, came in from Roswell, N. M., last Thursday afternoon and on Friday morn- ing went to work in the dry goods de- partment of the A. c. Co.'S. store in Cliff ton. We have always known Charley to be an upright, honorable young man, perfectly competent, under all circum- stances, to fulfill the duties assigned him by his employers, and we sincerely hope that he will make Clifton his home
 A native of our sister republic became offended at George Tankersly's apparent familiarity with him, Monday night, and when George started across the street in the dark followed him. George remon- strated and his follower pulled 3S on him which George appropriated and turned over to Billy Hamilton with its owner, and remarked, as he did so, that, eff you had shot me with that thing I would have knocked both your eyes into one."

THOUGHT BLUFF WAS FALLING.
Says He Will Never Come Back to
 Clifton Any More.

Last Thursday afternoon c. W. Nicklin, proprietor of Nicklin's Southwest Print ers' Supply house, of Los Angeles, drop ped into our humble sanctum with the avowed purpose of selling us big bill of goods. He did; and it took us until one o'clock a. m. to complete the order. But that wasn't all that happened that night, dear reader; and if you don't be- lieve it just ask him, should you ever be so fortunate as to meet him, and he will probably tell you all about it.
 In order to present the case more clear ly to our readers we will state that our office is not more than thirty feet from a perpendicular cliff of solid rock which towers to an alarming height, especially to those unaccustomed to the mountain regions of the Vest We will also state that, next door to our office, a bewitch- ing little widow, Senora Soto, who has many admirers among her native element, and also some among the Cau- casian race, conducts boarding house. Among her many admirers is Senor Don  Dionicio Galvan, who was, until about month ago, her chief kitchen mechanic.
 Being possessed of very benevolent, thoughtful and somewhat diffident(?) disposition, Mr. Nicklin concluded, after our work had been completed that night, that, rather than disturb the clerk and guests at the hotel, he would just "turn in' with Howard Lancaster, an old en- ployee of this office, who sleeps in the rear annex of the ERA office building, so we bid him good morning-it was morn ing-and wended our way homeward and were soon wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, and so was MT. N, says How ard; but his slumbers were soon dis turbed, and it was sometime before he realized that he had not shuffled of this mortal coil and got into the wrong pew.
 It seems as though Senor Don D. Gal van had saturated his anatomy with a quantity of "sheep herder's delight" and concluded to go and interview Senora Soto; but Sonora Soto emphatically de- nied him admission to her apartment by way of the door, and also by way of the window. This irritated Senor Don Gal van, and tliat irate individual immedi- ately concluded to wreak vengeance upon

 tain to the rear of the hostiery and the ERA office, commenced, with bould- CTS that he could conveniently handle, to everlastingly demolish the inn; but he lost his bearings and those boulders de- scended thick and fast upon the roof and side of our annex, sounding like cannon.
 Nicklin awoke, but for awhile thought he was dreaming. Finally he said: "Say, partner, is the bluff falling down ?" "Guess not" retorted Howard, half asleep. More and larger rocks. 'Say, partner, want to be an angel but aint in any hurry about it," said N, and he covered up his head and tried to make himself as small as possible. More rocks; and N. said, in a suppressed and trembling voice, "Say, pard, is this little entertainment for my benefit ?"-having heard that practical jokes were some times perpetrated upon tenderfeet out here in Arizona; but he was assured that there was no joke about it. Nicklin then uncovered his head and sat up in bed. Just then came another volley of rocks. This he could stand no longer, and, forgetting his clothes, tried to break out the front way, but the door was locked and he retraced his steps, think ing, possibly, that he might make his exit on the side; but he was informed by Howard that if he tried it he would be an angel within one minute. Just then NHS passage between the ERA office and the inn, and appeared before MT. N. with 45 in his hand, and Nicklin tainted and fell back upon the bed. Jim said he thought N. was ghost.
 More rocks rained down and Jim hugged the side of the building. Then he skylighted Senor Don Galvan upon the mount and his 45 began to bark, as all so did that of Wm. Jenkins, the A. c. Go. watchman, from the rear of the inn. Nicklin gasped and again ran against the front door, reboundihg with the elasticity of rubber ball, and, thinking that his time to be an angel had certainly come, jumped into bed and covered up his head, and would not emerge until the whole situation was explained to him and assured of the fact that there was no further danger.
 Nicklin arose promptly at 3.3O and it is needless to say that he boarded the early train for civilization" He told Howard, confdentially, at the breakfast table, that he felt little dubious about coming out this far and thnt rro un1ld nauar saa

tion. it is said. was to the provision for

The Indians want all the lands aliot-

likely to be conceded. in which case
the negotiations with all the five IA
nous Indian tribes viii probably be
speedily concluded. One clause in the
Cherokee agreement which has es-
capped general notice disposes of race
issues in the school question. 1t pro-
vides that money for school purposes
within the Cherokee limits is to go for
the education of the children belonging
TO all classes of citizens residing in the
Cherokee nation, but separate schools
are required for colored children. to be
maintained with equal advantages as
those provided for children of other
classes. This puts the Indians and
whites together in the Cherokee
schools. but requires the colored chill
dren, of whom there are a large num-
Der. to be placed in separate educa-
tiOnal institutions
