The people of Clayton feel much
gratified that they are not bothered
with tramps like they were at this time
a year ago. For some reason they
have not made the Delaware Railroad
at this point their place of rendezvous
this year, and if any base come down,
theyhave hasteueu ~ ,4o peach shipping
centres further down the peninsula.
Magistrate Casperson reports the order
of the town good, aud that fewer ar
rests have been made this season than
for long time. Tramps are a very
annoying class of people, and the Clay
ton people are hoping that they will
stay clear of their town. One reason
for their scarcity is that they have
hied away to the centres of the great
strikes in Pennsylvania where they
like to congregate and associate with
the unemployed.

'IT doesn'trequire any particular
ability to become a great man in
politics in America" said gentle
man of an observaut turn Of mind
from Texas, except the ability to
be persevering to the point Of per-
tinacity. 1t is like lot of bathers
in the surf. The water is a bit
rough, perhaps, but if you con
tinue leaping up as the wave comes
there's no particular danger of not
being able to keep your head
above water. 1t is tiresome work
however, and, one by one, the
bathers will drop off and go away
to their bath houses and privacy,
out Of the public view. If you
keep to it long enough and con-
tinue jumping up and down, so
you won't be submerged by the
waves, in time you'll be the only
bather on the beach. That's

IN THE JUSTICE COURT.

Justice Hunter had a case before
him last Tuesday that put a jury
up stump" and they agreed to
disagree and were discharged.
AS near as can be learned VIII
Cromb a couple Of months ago
bought Dave Angles right to some
school land, F. NJ. Swanger going
his security for the purchase
money. Later it seems Cromb
sold his right to his brother, who,
few days ago moved onto the
place. The testimony was that
when Mr.. Cromb drove onto the
place, Mr.. Swanger stopped him
and demanded to know what busi-
ness he had moving in, and that
Mr.. Cromb drew a gun on him and
threatened TO kill him if he inter-
ferred. Mr.. Cr0mb testified that
the reason he drew gun was that
Swanger had a knife, and Mr..
Swanger explained this by reason
that he was baling hay and was
making tags with the knife and
that he did not have it in his hand
on account Of expecting trouble.
Mr.. Cromb explained that he
had bought bis brothers right to
The place ard that he was sinply
going onto bis own property. On
the other hand Mr. Swapger con.
tended that before will Cromb
had left the place he had told him
he was going TO give up the place,
and as he, Swanger, was held for
the purchase money, his only re-
course was to hold the place and
get his money out by working it.
After all the testimony had
been taken the jury was unable to
decide the case and so reported.
On Wednesday Mr.. Swanger was
before Justice Sparks on a charge
preferred by Mr.. Angle Of using
obscene language before ladies.
After the jury had been sworn
a few minutes intermission was
taken, during which time some of
the jurors went down town and
proceeded TO take on a load of
booze, so that when court was call
ed one of them failed to answer
present. He was finally found,
brought into court and fined for
contempt. Upon representation
being made later TO the court that
the juror had become very sick
and was unable to reach the court
room the fine was suspended. The
jury was discharged and the case
continued until today.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Few, if any, wiser words were
spoken relative to the Mckinley
assassination than those by Sena-
tor Hoar, when called to the plat
form to speak in memory Of the
late late President, at the Massa-
chusetts Republican state conven'
ton. Every political speaker and
writer should study them:
"We can undoubtedly provide
some additional legal safeguards
against the recurrence of this ter
rible crime, but we can't give up
free speech or constitutional liber-
ty because of the danger of a re-
currence of such crimes. The re-
straining of free speech and OF the
free press, disagreeable as are their
abuses, must come in the main
from the individuals sence Of duty
and not by law.
"You and / are Republicans.
You and / are men of the North.
Most of us are Protestants of re-
ligion. We are men of native
birth. Yet, if every Republican
were today to fall in his place, as
William Mckinley has fallen, l be-
lieve our countrymen of the other
party, in spite of what we deem
their errors, would take the repub-
lie and bear on the flag to liberty
and glory. believe that is every
Prostestent were to be stricken
down by a lightning stroke that
our brethren of the Catholic faith
would still carry on the republic
in the spirit Of a true and liberal
freedom.
81 believe if every man OF native
birth within our borders were to
die this day the men of foreign
birth who have come here to seek
homes and liberty would carry or
the republic in Gods appointed
way. / believe that if every man
Of the North were to die the new
and chastened South, with the
virtues it has cherished from the
beginning, of love of home and
love of state, and love Of freedom
with its courage and its constancy,
would take the country and bear
it on to the achievements of its
lofty destiny. The anarchist
must slay 75,OOO,OOO Americans
before he can slay the republic"

MEXICO LETTER.
Regular correspondence to the GUARDIAN.
Chuichupa, Nov. 10, 1901.

Chuichupa, Nov. 10, 1901.
EDITOR GUARDIAN: October has
past and brought us a bounteous
harvest. Every farmer has been
well paid for his labors this season
in rich returns from the soil. Stock
yards, barns and cellars are filled
to overfowing with most every
thing desirable to man and beast,
and every heart is gladdened by
seeing prosperity on every hand.
Aside from the products of the soil
the dairy has produced over $500
lbs Of frst-class cheese, which is
taking the lead in the cheese mar
ket and sells for 5cts per lb. more
than any other cheese made in this
part of the country. Hundreds of
pounds of butter have also been
produced.
We had our first killing frost
Oct. 10th, but everything was well
matured. There are many beauti-
ful flowers still in bloom, which
have withstood the heavy frost and
will continue for weeks yet.
The cattle and horses on the
range are all fat. Most Of the beef
cattle will be driven out to market
by Dec. lst.
The Seven Star Mining COM
pany is working a large force of
men developing their mines. Their
smelter is en- route from Ell Paso
and will arrive soon, together
with other supplies. Joel II.
Martineau has just finished survey
ing the new wagon road to the
mines and bids are solicited. The
cost Of the road will be from $12,-
600 to $4,000. This will give
work to all that desire it.
An eastern company has pur-
chased all the land surrounding
us for the timber and the prospects
are bright for a railroad to be
built onto the purchase the coming
year. A company Of engineers has
just returned from a trip to the
mines south, to see if it would be
practicable to build . road to them
and the report was favorable. All
of these enterprises aid in the de,
velopment of a country, hence this,
with our immigration, will soon
develop this colony into q boauti-
tul city Of several thousand lnhabi-
tants.
What we need most is some good
citizens to come in and start a
store or put in saw-mill, although
we have one, but it does not supply
the demand for lumber,
A good thresher or seif-bipder
would pay. The writer would
be glad to correspond with anyone
desiring to. locate with us.

"a dispatch from Benson to the
Tucson Citizen, dated the 25th says
that on Saturday night last cow
boys "shot up" the town of SAT-
ford, doing much damage to plate
glass fronts, and causing a reign of
terror. If this statement is cor
rect no money should be spared in
hunting down the perpetrators of
the act, and in furnishing them to
the full extent of the law. The
time has passed in Arizona when
such acts can be looked upon with
impunity."- Era.
There is no truth in the above.
A full account of the affair was
published in the GUARDIAN at the
time. Some one fired several shots
in the middle of the night and
rock was thrown through the
Candy Store window. There was
no reign of terror as no one knew
what had happened until the next
morning. Cowboys did not do
the deed, either. We do not be-
lieve there is a cowboy in the Ter
ritory who would lower himself to
such dirty work. 1t was the work
of coward and cur, who, appar-
emily had some object in destroy
ing property. SO far no arrests
have been made, but repetition
of the shooting on the same street
at about the same hour occurred /!
again few nights ago, and then a
horse could be heard galloping ont
of town. 1t is only matter of
time until the gentleman who is
himself with his gun will
