It will be remembered that R. L. Stanford was convicted at the last term of court of cattle stealing, sen- fenced to five years in the peniten- tiary, and appealed the case to the supreme court. As the case was un- der appeal Stanford was not taken to the penitentiary, but kept in the Sill yer City jail. Sunday he managed to shove up some Of the bars at one of the windows, making a small opening, through which he crawled, and made good his escape. He was seen riding away from town horse back, but was not stopped. Sheriff Goodell thinks he had help from outside the jail, and offers reward Of $250 for Stanford's arrest, and $500 more for the arrest of the person who helped him escape. It is thought he pulled for Mexico, but the chances are that he is in the Pine Cienega country, and will be hard to 6nd.-Liberal.

Death of Neil Munro.

It is with deep sorrow that the ERA is compelled to chronicle the death of Neil Munro, one Of Clifton's old time and highly respected citizens. He was taken with the typhoid fever while at Solomonville some four weeks ago, and after reaching home was un- conscious the greater portion of the time until the spirit was released from its earthly shell Friday afternoon last. Deceased was a perfect type of physi- cal manhood; was endowed with a bright and cultivated mind, and being of lively disposition, numbered his friends by the thousands throughout southern Arizona, to whom the news of his death will come as direct and personal loss.
 The funeral occurred Sunday last the remains being laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery. The cortege was one of the largest seen in this city for some time past.
 Deccaseu reav5 sorrowing widow and four little daughters to mourn his untimely end. The ERA, on behalf oi the entire community, extends its con. dolence to the bereaved ones.

FRIGRTFUL EXPLOSION
Gabriel Valdez and Leonone Mar
 ouez Hurled to Their Death.

Last Sunday morning about two o'clock small house at the end of the cut into the Chase Creek street was blown up with dynamite and the two Inmates instantly killed.
 A heavy charge Of the explosive was placed close to the upper side Of the building and the force Of the ex- plosion was so great that the front and back walls were blown out, and the ad- jacent buildings considerably shat tered.
 Sleeping in the room were Gabriel Valdez and Leouone Marquez. The bodies were dismem bered and the frag- ments scattered over the street. A portion of the mans head was blown through the window of the barber shop across the street. People living near by were badly shocked and fright ened, but no one was seriously injured. '.
 Valdez was a foreman at the A. C.. shelter and was counted good work man, except for occasional sprees of drunkenness. He and the woman Mar quez had once been married, but had been Separated and the woman had frequently lived for time with other men. About two years ago during one of the periods of separation the woman lived in the house that was blown up with a brother Of Valdez. One morn ing the man was found with miners peg stuck through his skull dead. Bernardo was charged with the crime, but could not be convicted.
 Out of this affair is supposed to have grown the tragedy of Sunday morning. Valdez is also said to have made some enemies by discharging men working under him at the shelter. There is no tangible proof, however, as to who perpetrated the fiendish deed.
 The bodies Of the unfortunate pair were buried on Sunday.

William F.. Beck, Esq. packed his furniture and books last week and went to Clifton. Mr. Beck has for years divided his time between Clifton and Morenci, but has always considered Clifton as his home. He has many friends in both camps who hope he may be elected to the office of justice of the peace at Clifton and the follow ing article from the Tucson Star, proves that w. F.. Beck has strong friends in other parts Of the territory, as we'll as here in Graham county: "The Star learns from gentlemen from Clifton that w. E. Beck of that place is a candidate for justice Of the peace for that precinct. Mr. Beck was some years ago resident of Tue son. He is a graduate Of a law school aud is well acquainted with the statutes of the territory. His famil- iarity with characters peculiar to min- ing camps, especially the wild reck- less element and his fearless and courageous nature ought to make Mr Beck an ideal justice of the peace for Clifton, and no doubt the good people of that little burg will entrust him with this official responsibility. We believe they will not regret their choice. e."-Standard

Political Cards.

Inasmuch as a scandalous, vicious aud untruthful annonymOus letter has made it's appearance, which has had much to say in regard to the McIn- tosh case, and in which my house was referred to as gambling den" and "low dive," 1 take this method Of pronouncing the author liar and a coward. I have always conducted a strictly frst-class house, and no man was ever "rolled" or robbed" in my house. My record in the Mcintosh case is we'll known. I did all in my power to see that he was justly pun ished for his awful crime, and while the result was clearly miscarriage of justice, I do not consider that it was through any fault of Sheriff Parks. I am with him first, last and all the time. Very truly,

Children have been turned away from the Clifton public school this week because the rooms are already overcrowded. The school has an en- rOllmeut Of over $50 and only four teachers. It is disgrace to any civil ized community having free schools, that those Of school age who desire an education are refused one. Clifton has 300 children of school age. We should have our teaching force doubled.
 EDITOR ERA:-The above clipping from the Clifton correspondence to the Morence standard" is direct attack on the trustees of the Clifton school district and indirectly on the taxpay- CTS. While such matters ordinarily ' should be ignored, this particular case demands reply. It is true that pupils have been turned away for the reason that the schools are overcrowded. They were denied admission to room which already has daily average at tendance of over 120-more than enough for two teachers. For the in- formation of the Standards Clifton correspondent and the public in gen. eral we would state that there are over 675 children Of school age in Clifton, and the nsaHabsr i@ ineraasinR at th 2 funds for conducting schools are ap- porlioned on the basis of the previous years attendance; that unless the ap- portionment for this school year l; materially increased over last year: receipts, there will not be funds sutii cient to keep school open eigh' months with the present teaching force; that more seats have been or dered by the Arizona Copper Co.,. which has already spent a small for tune for the benefit of this district that all new pupils are being accom- nodatcd as rapidly as possible, and that the trustees are conducting the schools in as economical manner a: is compatible with good service, as ar examination Of their books will prove We would like to ask the "CliftOn cor respondent" if he has ever contributed one cent, either in taxes or otherwise toward the support of the schools o this county or district, and we hereby announce our readiness, each one 0 us, to double any donation of cash thu "Clifton correspondent" will make to ward employing another teacher anC running the school Full nine month term.
