CLIFTON NEWS.

From the Copper Era
The Era last week mentioned
that a Mexican was shot near Pitts
brick yard by another Mexican,
and brought to the Clifton hospi
tai for treatment, where he died
Saturday last Before dying he
stated that the man who shot him
was evidently crazy, as he had
never seen him before. The
stranger approached him and asked
if he was a tramp, stating that it
was his business to kill tramps.
The man replied that he was not a
tramp, and had work at Clifton.
This did not satisfy the tramp
killer, who drew bis gun and fired
the fatal shot, then made his
escape.
On Friday last Mexican with
a shot gun and pistol arrived at
Al Bishops camp in the Mayflow-
er district, and asked for some
thing to eat. 1t was given him,
and after dinner he left the house
and went to the pasture where
there were some horses. Mr..
Bishop and two others followed
him, thinking that he meant to
get away with one of the horses.
When they came near the pasture
the Mexican took a shot at Mr..
Bishop. Mr.. Bishop returned the
fire An inquest was held after
the battle and Mr.. Bishop exon
Grated from all blame. At the in
quest it developed that the dead
v exican was the man who fired on
the inoffensive Mexican at Pitts
brick yard, Mr. Bishop stated
that the man acted very queer, and
he now has no doubt that he was
crazy, though at the time he1
thought he might be a fugitive
from justice, and was nervous on
that account.

LIKES THE RANGER LAW.

"The Blade opposed the ranger
law when it was first enacted, but
it has, after two years trial, proved
to be beneficial measure and we
believe it should be continued.
The rangers have done good ser.
vice and have aided very material
ly in either bringing the most des-
perate class of outlaws to justice
or in driving them out of the Ter
ritory.-Florence Blade.
The Blade has good cause to ad
mire the ranger law and believe it
should be continued. Four con-
victions were made, at the last
term of the Pinal county district
court, of cattle thieves .softhat coun.
ty, caught by the rangers and con-
victed on their testimony. Two
of these criminals were sentenced
to serve five years each in the
penitentiary and the other two got

the others and showed him to

at him, he pointed his gun at them.
OF course they ran, one fell and

scared
When they reached the house he
shot at them; but was coming down

ed for a gun but could find none.
He came straight to the house, but
the dogs drove him away. He
went up the canyon and when he

Frank Harper and made him give
up his hat, vest and shoes. That
was the last seen of him but who

HUNDREDS of people of this val
ley have already ordered their
Christmas goods through cata-
logues from eastern firms. Every
cent of this money should have
been spent with the home mer-
chants. In conversiug, the other
day, with one of our out-oftown
subcribers we learned that he had
just sent a mail order for his
Christmas presents. When we
took him to task for sending his
money away for goods that he
could buy at reasonable prices at
home, be replied that he had sent
away for his goods because he
supposed the home merchants
would not have any Christmas
goods. He said not a merchant
had advertised a single Christmas
item, and as he said only
gets to town occasionally, he relies
on the merchants advertisements
for what they have, and if he fails
to find it his catalogues are al
ways a ready reference. We told
our friend so far as Christmas
goods were concerned he should
not be in sucha hurry as the mer-
chants would advertise their goods,
but his reply was that he only got
to town about once month, and
as no advertisement of Christmas
goods had appeared, he would let
his order go to the east. There
are hundreds ofpeople in the same
condition as this individual; they

HY HE two pretty girls taken to
Washington by Nine. WI,
wife of the brilliant and pic
turesque Chinise Minister,
have stirred Washington society more
than anything that the quaint Ori-
entail representative has done since
he had been in the capital
The girls are exceedingly pretty, even
to the American eye, and the gorgeous
gowns which they brought with them
add to the interest and curiosity they
have awakened in Washington social
circles.
The youngest and prettiest is the
adopted daughter of the Chinese Min
lister. Her name is Miss So Ching WI,
and as the debutante of the Chinese
mansion will be the recipient of a great
deal Of attention.
But what has startled Washington
to its very foundations is the extrava-
CANT gorgeousness Of the costumes that
came with Nine. WI and her young
charges. Those who have been privi-
legged to see them in advance Of their
appearance at social functions declare
that they are simply wonderful in
their creation and that nothing even
approaching their glory has ever been
seen in any American city.
COlOrs have been most wonderfully
blended in the creation of these gowns,
while gold and silver trimmings, and
the most amazing embroidery work
has made them incompatible.

the home is to be completed in three
years. The site comprises a tract of
land a mile and three-quarters long,
and three-quarters Of a mile wide, sit
uated in the heart of the Tennessee
Mountains. The place is so delight
fully situated that it is believed it will
eventually become a popular health

Among the larger buildings of the
group will be a memorial hall, mess
hall and chapel, and a canteen similar
to those which were maintained at
army posts many years ago will be
one of the features. The grounds will
be laid out in parks, groves and drive
ways, and the landscape features will
add TO the picturesque appearance of

ground and a group of twelve barrack
buildings. These buildings will be in

barrack building will have its own

will be so arranged that the inmates
may spend their days in perfect COM
