Bette Trimble, who has been an in
mate of the county Jail for nearly two
years, was given her liberty Monday
afternoon. The offense with which
was at one time convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life, is
too revolving and too well known in
Graham county to need repeating.
Suffice it is to say that her crime was
almost inhuman. Tuesday afternoon
Mrs. Trimble was an outgoing passen-
ger on the train bound for Old Mex
leo where she will probably remain
and try and live down the disgrace of a
prison record. The case against her
was dismissed on motion of District
Attorney Observation-Disclosures.

Copper company, was in Clifton yes
terday from his mines. He reports
that the ID. c. company is building a
railroad to the head of Packard
gulch, which will De of great advan-
tage to all of the mines on the south
side of the Coronado mountains. TIE
d. c. completed a tunnel through Cop
per mountain about two years ago,
since which time they have been de-
veloping their properties along
Pinckard gulch, which are now in a
sufficient stage OF development to pro-
duce II consi 1erabse tonnage. The

Of the most prominent citizens of the
Duncan country, spent few days in
Clifton this week. They report that
the engineer corps of the Santa Fe r
Il. have reached Duncan, and from in
formation gathered they think the
Whitewater station on the Silver
City branch is the objective point.
OF coura. nothing definite can as yet
be told as results will depend on sur
veys. Mr.. Cosper is an enthusiastic
farmer and is also largely Interested
in cattle and hogs. He came up to
sell his onion crop to the ID. G. com
pany. Onions. he says, are about the
the most profitable crop grown. His
onion crop averaged 80 sacks, or 500
bushels to the acre, which is a.big yield,
and brings in Il better and surer re-
turn than gold mine.

Col. j. c. Smith returned last week
from Fort Worth, Texas, where he
went up against the stock market with
car load OF horses and from what
/ the colonel says about it, the horse
and mule brokers of that place are
little less than highway robbers. Mr..
Smith says that after consigning his
stock to them they refused to allow
! him to make sales on his own RESPONSE
bility, though he could have made
sales for more than double the amount
they sold the stock for He says the
stock paper of Fort Worth. the Citi-
Zen, does not quote the low sales made,
and thus the people are deceived by
the big sales, and rush the stock into
the market only TO BE- elaug by
lot of freebpoterS who stand in to-
gether. After Mr.. Smiths thirty-six
head of horses had heen sold, the
same firm who handled them sold
the whole bunch. Mr.. Smith says
that they first make sale to one of
their pals for an amount that Just
about pays the freight. and then they
resell the stock Tor what it is worth,
thus virtually rCbbing the owner in
broad daylight. Mr.. Smith says the
cattle market is in honorable hands,
and stuff brings its full value. but woe
be unto the man who ships horses or
mules to Fort Worth. Mr.. Smith :
reason for making this statement to
the public Is to protect others from
making the mistake which he made.
He says there is fairly good demand
for horses and mules in north Texas,
hut that the ROBBERS who control the
Fort Worth business have ruined that
market for shippers.

Owing to the scarcity Of cars, which
are now being used in hauling the i'm
mense grain crops OF the western
states, the mining companies are ex-
periencing trouble in getting coal
and coke. For some time past all of
the companies of the southwest have
been drawing on their reserve supplies,
which in some sections will soon be
exhausted. All smelter managers
have been hustling for some weeks
past. 1t is not likely that any shut
downs will occur, as coal and coke can
be had from the southern states,
where there is not such pressing de-
mand for cars, but the long haul will
materially advance the cost, which
managers are anX iOus to avoid, if
possible.
