A Serious Mishap.

While +. i. Clark, Jr. was deliver

Mr.. Clark was out Of the wagon when
the horses, spirited animals, started to
travel Mr.. Clark jumped and caught
the lines, which turned the team and
caused the wagon which was on rather
steep ground to upset upon him. Ray
was in the wagon and fell underneath
it, The team then started at a lively
rate dragging Mr.. Clark aud Ray for
some distance. They were badly cut
and bruised up by coming in contact
with the rocks, but it i, not thought

THE GRIM REAPER
Salvatore Sirianni Passes Away
Other Deaths.

There were many sad hearts in
Clifton Saturday night when it was
announced that Salvatore Sirianni had
been stricken with Bright's disease,
and could not recover. Everything
that medical skill could do to proioug
his life was done, but to no avail and
at 100 Monday morning. the Angel
OF Death called his spirit to the iudg-
ment seat OF God
Salvatore Sirianni came 10 Clifton
about seventeen years ago. and for sew
eral years worked in the mines at Car
field, but later engaged in business at
Clifton and other camps, and was sIc-
cessful in all his undertakings. He
was the recognized leader OF the Ital-
ian colony. and commanded the esteem
and respect OF all the people. He was
a kind-hearted. good man. ever ready
10 assist those in need or distress.
About three years ago he visited his
old home in Italy. where he spent
nearly two years. While there he was
married to an estimable lady. who was
soon TO make her home in Clifton had
her husband been permitted to live q
little longer.
The funeral occurred from the
Catholic church Tuesday afternoon,
and was attended by large mum bers of
people, not only from Clifton, but also
from Morenci, Mctcalf and all the
other camps

Clifton is growing in spite of its
streets and dust storms. Clifton,
backed bl inexhaustible mineral
wealth, has the brightest future OF
any town in Arizona, provided its citi-
tire year Clifton can lc made the
great mining, smelling and manu-
featuring center of the territory if her
people will but get together, incor-
porate the town, clean it up, give it
sewerage. sprinkle the streets, and
make the place more attractive for
strangers. y town is good deal like
an individual. II she wants to ac-
complsh something she must 60 to
work with that end in view, and offer
Inducements to desirable people, at
least in the way of pleasant surround
ingS. and more especially in regard to
sanitation. No man who thinks much
OF his family will build permanent
home in Il town noted for all sorts of
diseases. and where the death rate i
equal t. that Of well-kept town of
five times its size. Clifton should not
longer be content to remain as II mere
camp. She passed that stage with the
broadening of the gauge OF the rail
road and since that time she has easily
doubled in population, and also in con-
tagious and infectious disease. and in
filth and unpleasant arOmas. With
the proper spirit among her progress
i've business men there is no good
reason why Clifton should not soon be
the leading town in Arizona. But it
will take energy. vim and Il high or
der OF patriotism to accomplish this
result. Many people seem to be
afraid to come out and announce that
they favor any sort OF improvements.
They will tell you ON the quiet that it
Is a good thing and push it along,
only they cannot encourage it in any
way, As it might hurt their business.
They apparently care nothing for the
health, comfort and general welfare Of
the community. They are looking
after the almighty dollar and want to
stand in with both sides on every
proposition and at all times. What
this town needs right now is few
good earnest men, who are deeply in
teresied in its welfare, to take hold OF
the incorporation matter and push it
through. After it has been accom-
plished the people will soon realize
what a great blessing it Is, and they
will then wonder why they ever OPP
posed it.

\ meeting Of citizens OF Chase

some red hot resolutions were intro

resolutions were so warm that it was
thought best to pack them in ice I'M
til the following morning. y com
mittce was appointed to modify them.
but it is said that the modification
made them just a little hotter than
they were before. \ number of citi-
zeus signed the resolutions which
were turned over to Dan Lynch and

resolutions lay all the troubles OF the
road matters upon the broad should
