The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1902-06-26

THE Bulletin of last week has IL
leading editorial favoring the locating
of some territorial institution in the
ella valley, and says:
The next public institution for Ari-
IONA must be located in the ella val
ley. Either the Normal School at
Flagstaff or the Reform School AT Bcu-
son, would have been much better
located in the ella valley than where
they are. Arizona should have an
asylum for its poor. lame, blind, de-
crcpid people. The burden eutailcd in
each county by paupcrs Is very large
The ERA agrees with the Bulletin
that the next territorial institution
should hc located in the CHA valley.
but it is not in favor Of any appro-
priatiou by the legislature which Will
Increase taxation. Arizona i already
burdencd with public institutions,
some Of which are of no benefit to any
one The reform school at Beuson is
a most useless piece Of furniture. I'M
less il be converted into an asylum o.
some kind. The watchword OF the
next legislature should be Reform,
Taxation must be lowered instead of
increased. Our Juvenile offenders can
be boarded at some reform school in
California for ten per cent. of what it
will cost to maintain them at Benson.
Let us give the tax payers show to
live for few years, and thus eucour-

would afford him little recreation and

IetsOn Ballet, who was at one time
doomed by all the newspapers of the
west, as the Cecil Rhodes of America,
was convicted last week III the United
States court, at Des Moincs, Iowa, Cf
using the mails to defraud. His ar
rost grew out of the White Swan mi re
swindlc and if Ballet has to serve all
the years enumerated in the counts
filed against him he will iuhabit Jail
the greater part of his existence en-
this old earth. But, then. Ballet
has been doing nothing that is not be-
iug done by other promoters all over
the west. Not Il care is given by these
taxing promoteas of the ruin they
leave in their wake. All their time
and attention is given to getting the
dough and transferring it from the
pockets of the gullible investor to their
own. y mine, held under bond, or no
mine, is the GROUND plan of the men
who start out to detraud. The mere
fact that they have no title to the
property represented to be owned by
the company, is no dcterment. They
embark on a tissue of falsehood and
cntice the poor fools with dazzling
array Of glittering promises to put
their all into the enterprise presided
over by them. Bailliet did this and
the others will get there sooner or

Barton County Wheat is All Right,
Says Mr.. Brougher.

Ira D. Brougher of Barber county,
which is the second largest wheat-pro-
ducing country in the state, writes the
secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture as follows:
THE condition of the wheat in Bar
ton county is very favorable for another
record breaking crop. The ground has
been covered with snow through all the
recent cold weather and is now about
all melted, leaving several inches of
moisture which will tide it over for
some time.
STOCK of all kinds is Wintering in
very good condition With the wheat
pasture there will be an abundance of
feed to carry it through to grass. 1
have not heard of any losses from any
cause so far. My Herefords are in good
beef condition and the only feed they
have had so far was wheat pasture and
straw"

AN EXPENSIVE HORSE.
Barber County Farmer Worked by
Two Shrewd Swindlers.

Fort Scott, Feb. 1s.-A young farmer
named d. Brown from Barber county
arrived here with an officer, to lay
claim to horse now in the possession
of James Else. Two traders named
Vennum and King approached Brown
several weeks ago with information
concerning a race horse, which could
be bought for $500 and which they knew
they could sell for ST. 200 They said they
had not sufficient money to make the
deal, but that if Brown would buy the
animal at that price they woul sell it
for him, charging him a commission of
$500 which would still leave him double
his investment. The young man allowed
himself to be worked, bought the horse,
and made arrangements to meet one

racer. Brown paid the expense of trans
porting himself, the horse and traders
to the city. Daily did not show up. The
gang seemed to run out of money and
the horse was taken to Jim Else who
claims he bought the horse for 800.
The other fellow claims he only put the
horse up for security for that amount,
and this is the matter in dispute now.
But Else holds a bill of sale.
The 500 was given to Vennum as a
part of his commission. Vennum then
departed and his victim has not heard
of him since. Mr.. Else refuses to sur
render the horse. and suit is probable.
Mr. Brown has already lost seven or
eight hundred dollars in the DEAL
