New Stock Yards for Clifton.

II. j. Simmons, superintendent OF
the 4. & y. u. r R, informs the ERA
that the mate rial has been ordered for
the erection OF frst-class stock yards
for Clifton. The yards will Re located
on Chase creek between Clifton and
Longfsllou. and will be supplied with
an abundance OF good water. 1t is ex-
pectcd that the double circle and the
G c c outfits will use the new yards in
shipping this spring. There seems TO
be Z possibility that the G c c outfit
may give up their lease OF land on the
reservation, and II they do they will
BE compelled to move their cattle out
of the country. Should the govern
ment shut OFF the supplies to the
Apaches. the cattle com panies 10 that
section will have TO move or feed free
beef TO the Indians.

II there are any pupils in school
whose progress has not been satisfact-
DRY, it is those who have been irregular
in attendance. Aside from the pupils
loss, there is loss to the school fund
OF about 10 cents for each day absence.
The Importance u = uliiisas attendance
Is therefore twofold. If parents would
adopt the rule 10 always send written
excuses in case of forced absence or
tardiness, there would be less of both.
We have been TOPPING that the term
would close in tho new building but it
now appears improbable.
The invitation to visit the school has
not been Withdrawn, though none has
accepted recently. J. E. WILLIAMS.

a horse race for Il purse of $1,000 bas
been matched between Thomas Coch-
rams roam horse and Bob Thomas
sorrel horse to be run April 18th.
The sorrel horse is a Johuy -come-laI O.
ly but is built for sprinter. His anti
cedents are not known, aud it il
thought that he was brought in to get
race. He is an unknown quantity
which adds piquency tn the proposed
event. Cochran's horse is well known
and has many hackers. The race is
for 400 yards. aud will probably be
pulled or at Duncan, though the Solo
knoxville people have raised 500 to be
added to the purse if the race can be
ARRANGED for that place. The Duncan
business men will now be heard from.
and it is expected they will see" the
Solomonville people, and raise them u
little on the side.

QUICK WORK.
B. Klmball Arrested for Iorse
Stealing.

Tuesday last b. Kimb.ll. an timer
ant painter, secured a horse, saddle
and briddle from Bill Prices stable,
stating that be was going to Morenci.
He did not return that night, and the
next morning Mr.. Price telephoned to
MOrenci, and found that neither KIM
ball nor the horse had been IN MUrenci-
Price became uneasy. and although he
made dilisent inquiry he could find
no trace Of Kim ball or bis property.
Wednesday afternoon W. L. W iltOn
came in from the Big Lou ranch and
reported that Kimball spent the night
at his place. Mr. Price then swOre
out a warrant for Kimball, aud accom-
panied by Mr.. Wilton left Clifton Ut
9 p. m. FOR the Big Lou ranch. When
they arrived at the raneh they found
that Kimball had traded horse, saddle
and bride 70 Walt-r Wilton, and
left towards Silver City. They changed
horses at the ranch and travelled
all night through a snow storm.
When they struck the MOgOllOn road
they saw the stage coach few miles
distant. heading westward, aud desir-
ing to send word to the MogOllOn
county, they followed it nearly eight
miles before overtaking it, after which
they doubled back and made the best
time possible towards Silver City
They secured a fresh mount at Horace
Hooker's ranch and pushed en- into
Silver City, which they reached at
p. IN. having ridden one hundred and
twenty-five miles In twenty-three
hours, a record for hard riding which
perhaps stand, without parallel in this
elton in many years. AS they rode in
t. Sheriff Goodell's corral through one
gate Kim ball rode in through another,
and was promptly placed under arrest.
He was greatly surprised. as he had
been ridin. pretty hard himself, and
had more than thirty hours the start
OF his pursuers. He was placed in
Jail that night and next day gave his
consent to accompany the officers home
without requisition papers. apd was
landed in the Clifton tunnel Saturday
night at II o'clock. Mr.. Kim ball will
no doubt have an opportunity to do a
little decorating and painting for the
territory at Yuma after the next term
Of the district court. Both Mr.. Price
and Mr.. Wilton speak in the highest
terms Of the courtecies shown them by
Sheriff Arthur Goodell.

not seriously hurt. When the cars
reached the foot OF the incline they
