Sheriff John Parks Shaw claims
that the charge against him is for
running a gambling game in New
Mexico without license. and an
nounces that he is ready to return
to New Mexico for trial.
A very pleasant party was given
Satu da, night last by Mesdames
Shannon, complimentary to Mes
danes Thompson and Carter of
Boston, who are sojourning tenn
porarily in Clifton. Dancing and
card playing were the features of
the evening. Refreshments were
served. About fifty people we G
in attendance, and very pleasant
evening was spent.
Great interest was taken in the
election for school trustee Satur-
day last. Three h ndred and
forty one votes were cast Of which
James S Cromb received 2i5, and
A. Z. Bruce | u VI. Cromb has
been school trustee for severa
years, and the vote Saturday last
shows that his labor in that capac.

John NJ. Modl, well known in
Clifton, arrived this week from
Yuma, where he spent eighteen
months in the pcnitentiary on Il

Wushingt dispatches say so
clcvcIly las The Beef Trust evaded
the Antitrust law t at officials Of
the Department of Justice doubt
if ii will be possible TO bring about
its dissolution.
No formal complaint has yet
been filed with the department
against the trust. Should such a
complaint be made it will receive
the serious consideration of the
Attorney Genera. But even in
the event Of its presentation the
question will be raised whether
there can be prosecution In two
cases-those Of Hopkins and An
derson--which involved the ques.
tion whether the control of prices
of stock in Kansas City was vio-
lation Of the Federal Antitrust
law of the supreme court beld that
the combinations could not be
reached under this law; at the
Federal Government could not in
teifcre in the sale of stock in
Kansas City even if the contracts
for the delivery of the animals had
been made in another state, no
restraint of trade being shown.
Department officials believe that
this decision might serve as pre-
cedent in the case of the Chicago
combination. The remedy against
the Beef Trust lies, it is declared
not in the Federal courts, but in
the state courts Of Illinois.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
insists that the Beef Trust is not
responsible for the rise in meat.
Il regard the rise in the prize of
beef, us lcgimate," he said. Il am
cattle-raiser myself and know

him one day to write composition
to be handed in the next morning.
Very much disturbed III mind
young Henry sought little infor-

write his thoughts upon anything
he saw or heard, or had seen or

fully home, and, as no inspiration
seemed TO come on the way, he re-
tired to the barn to mediate.
While sitting there a turnip just

neigh or, Mr.. Finncy, struck his
fancy and proved to be the in.
spiration he was looking for.
The next morning Master Henry
handed in the following compost.
ton to his teacher.
Mr. Fiuncy had turnip,
And it grew behind the barn;
1t grew ere and it grew there
And the turnip did no harm.
1t grew and it grew,
Till it could get no taller,
Mr.. inuey pulled it up
And put it in the cellar.
1t lay there and it lay there,
Till it began to rot,
His daughter Sally took it up
And put it in the pot.
She boiled it and she boiled it
AS long as she was able,
His daughter Peggy tished it out
And put il on the table.
Mr.. Finncy and his wife
They sat down to sup,
And they ate and they ate
Till they ate the turnip up.

in which one Gilbert Webb, an
allie ed stage robber, was arrested.
The letter says:
"There has been so much com.
ment in Parral and the near
vicin ty of the accounts published
of arrest which have been greatly
exaggerated this induced me to
write to you the correc account.
The chief of police, Franco Jlme-
nez, of Parral, with two officer.
and perhaps you can count in
Harold, went out to Otto, the
last station on the Parral 4
Durango railway, where the Webb
family are occupied in ranching
and have also a wood contract for
the above mentioned railroad.
And as the famous detective
Harold claimed that Mr.. We b
was bad man the chief Of police
decided to- degy. He notifi-
ed Webb that he had come out
there to make an arrest and need
ed his assistance, which Mr.. Webb
answered in person. He was in
vlted into the room where the
chief and other officers were seat
ed and after talking for short
tine with the chief was informed
that he was the one that they b d
come after. He made no resist
ance at all. | will here stat.
