The base ball game Sunday last was a regular professional game up to the sixth inning. Both sides played fast ball and double plays were common thing. During the seventh inning a dispute arose and the rag-chewing con- tinued during the remainder of the game. It is unfortunate for the boys that they could not play clean game especially on ladies day. Captain Simms has been busy ever since the game apoligizing for the conduct of the boys. The spectators became dis gusted and left before the game was played out. The final result was 10 to in favor of Morenci. Simms did the twirling for Clifton and Brubecker for Morenci. It is to be hoped that the next time these teams cross bats they will settle their disputes after the game

A strike on the Coronado railroad was nipped in the bud last week with cred table promptness. The Mexican
 brakemen employed had everything fixed for walk-out when the railroad people got an inklinG oI what was do- ing. The entire force of brakemen on the road was promptly suspended and new men put on. The company has been paying $2. D per day; excel lent wages for the work performed an1 the class of labor employed. The men decided they might as well have B and in view of the rush of work on they expected to force the advance by striking. Wherein they made d grievous error.

A grand ball was given last night at Prettyman's dance hall by the metal workers and fremen of Clifton in honor of S.. Patrick's day. The hall was crowded and the event will be happily remembered by those who at tended. The hall was beautifully decorated and everywhere that the eye would gaze was a display of the green. The music was grand. It is useless to say that this was the most successful St. Patrick's celebration ever witness ed in Clifton.

| George Stevens last week captured
 Gila monster twenty-two inches
 long, which Ee brought into town and
 presented to Col. Harry Wright As a specimen of his race he is a beauty. Harry has named him George for short, though his full name is Beautiful George. He will be raised as pet, aud will be taught to keep Harry's room in order during his absence. It has been discovered | that George understands, Spanish, but
 when spoken to in English he becomes irritable and shows signs of being
 bad. He delights in music, especially
 the Spanish airs, and Mr. Wright says that on several occasions George
 kept time with his left front foot.
 When a two-step is played he keeps time with both front feet. On one oc- casiOn. so Mr. Wright says, he at George is very fond of ducies and pop corn, which leads Mr. Wright to be-
 lieve that he has been in captivity be- fore. IL has been the general sup position among scientists that the monster is a reptile of sluggish in- telligence, but Nr. Wright hopes to explode this old time prejudice against the monster in a very short time. Mir. Wright says that as matter of fact the monster has never had fair show. He has been given bad name by people who really knew nothing about him, and were preiudiced against him on account of his looks. Wiley F.. Jones, who is recognized as the best authority on Gila monsters in Arizona, is now in Solomonville, and has not seen George. Mr. Jones has always maintained that they could be tanned as useful household pets and upon his return Mir. Wright, whose experience with monsters has been somewhat limited, will consult with him as to the higher education of Beautiful George.

AN AMERICAN party has been form ed in Utah, which is non-partisan, and is expected 10 draw from all parties. The new party is the out growth of the sensational inVestiga- ton of the Smoot ease now being held in Washington. In other words il is a fight against the Mormon control of the political affairs of the state. The American party will take the place of the old Liberal party, which was anti Mormon. and which was disbanded when Utah was admitted as a state and the church promised not to inter- fere with political affairs. What effect this new party will have on the political affairs of Utah remains to be seen. The doing away with party Hines will naturally consolidate the Mormon vote, which has heretofore been divided between the two parties, and will be the means of putting Mormon and anti-Normon ticket in the field, which is bound to result in au unpleasant campaign.

FAUSSE POI NTE NOTES.

We have learned that the planters
are experiencing some difficulty in
procuring cotton seed Tor planting
purposes. A few have written to
Mississippi and Alabama for seed
and report n scarcity of cotton seed
existing in those states. Many
think that this scarcity of cotton
seed existing at present was caused
by the handsome prices offered and
paid FOR cotton seed last fall aud
winter. We cannot understand why
the planters do not lay in the neccs-
sary supply in the fall, when they
bring their cotton to the gin.
The corn bug has been so des-
tructive to young corn on some
places here as to necessitate re-
planting The cane borer is also
continuing its navages on some
places here, some planters are
quite alarmed thereat.
A good rain fell here Thursday
evening, the It'll inst, putting the
ground in fine condition for pillow
ing and planting Our planters
can't complain about the weather
as Jupiter Pluvius has been very
indulgent to them so far. Should
this fine weather continue the
planters will make rapid progress
with their crops.
The planters are quite busy
scraping their cotton
II is reported that the Irish pc.
tato crop will he one of largest ever
known here,
A few planters have corn SO
far advanced in growth as to be
able TO lay by next week, which is
quite an unusual thing for this sea
son of the year.
A new improvement, in Loreau-
vile, will he the cotton gin, now
being built by Messrs. Gopsoulin,
Wallet and Prince. It is going up
fast and will be ready for this
years cotton crop.
The cold wave, predicted for this
section Of Louisiana, struck Fausse
Pointe last Saturday night, bring
