A DEPLORABLE AFFAIR.
A Difficulty Over Children, With Serious
 Results.

A difficulty occurred last evening on Chase creek between E. K. Smith and J. l.. Munroe, which will doubtless re- suit in the death Of the latter. The trouble was bro ight aoout by the children Of the two families, who live nea. each other. The children had their little trout bles, which were taken up by their parents. When the two men met last night fight started, with the result that Munroe was so badly cut and stabbed by Smith that his life is despared Of. Smith made no attempt to escape and was soon alter wards arrested, and is now confined in the tunnel, awaiting the results of the injuries he inflicted upon his opponent.
 Mr. Munroe drove ihe ice wagon for the 4. C. company, and is we'll known to almost every family in town. Mir. Smith has resided here nearly three years. and was employed in the con- pany's works.

Nephi Packer, of the Duncan coun-
 try, who spent a few days in town th is
 week, says that the crops in his section will be pretty fair this year, notwith- standing the scarcity Of water. The wheat and barley crops were not ma terially damaged. A number of headers are now running, and they will have busy season. The grain is plump and the yield will be fairly good. Mir. Packer thinks if the farm CTS had planted more extensively they would have made a big clean up this year, because prices will be high. He says the railroad surveyors are still working in that section, having run lines all over the valley. The Duncan people are now confident that both the Southern Pacific aud Santa Fe rail roads will build through that section, and when they do Duncan will be the best town in the Gila valley, by all odds. Infact Duncan is now begin ming to figure pretty strongly on being the county seat of tue new county.

Bunch of Announcements.
The ERA takes pleasure this week il

| The ERA takes pleasure this week in
 presenting the names of three new
 candidates for political preferment: First or the list comes Baylor Shan
 non, who came to Clifton when Null ligan's peak was very small mound. He has resided here most Of the time
 since then, and has always been in-
 terested in the district. Grant county,
 New Mexico, a few years ago needed a good supervisor, so they sent for Bay and elected him, and were so well
 pleased with his services that they then promoted him to sheriff; very
 responsible position, which he filled
 most satisfactorily. He returned to Clifton three years ago and has been resident of the county since that time.
 His many friends in this part ot the county have brought him out for the office. believing that he is the best qualified man in the democratic party
 in this end of the county for the posi- ton. The writer has known Bay Shannon for some considerable time; about forty years, more or less, and has no hesitancy in saying that he is just about as good democrat as can be found in this neck O the mountains.
 Judge George Carlton, who halls from the banner democratic precinct in the county, is not backward in com ing forward to announce that he would accept the responsibility of looking after the county's money for the next two years He is a dyed-in-the-wool democrat, hailing from Texas. where he was water bound in the Brazos val ley for several years. He was elected justice of the peace Of Duncan pre- cinct two years ago, and was one Of the few justices that the recent grand jury did not jump onto with both feet. Mir. Carlton is said to be competent man for most any office.
 w. 5. Mundav, who is well known | in this district, and in fact throughout | the county, announces his candidacy | Tor the office of justice Of the peace Tor Clifton precinct. He is one Of the best citizens in the camp, and no loubt would make d good officer.

| The announcement has been made
 that Fl Obrero Of Morenci has purch-
 ased the plants and good will of the
 Morenci Standard and the Solomnn. vile Bulletin. which publications will
 be discontinued. It is merger Of the
 three papers. It does away with
 two democratic papers in the county. and like other local mergers Is not popular with q large mum Der of people, especially those who adhere to demo- cratic prime pies. The democrats had but little use fo" the Kelly papers,
 but now that they are dead and gone they will be missed. The democratic politicians are glad to be rid of the kellys, but they mourn the loss of their papers, and will at once take steps to repair this loss by establish ing simon pure democratic paper in the town of Clifton. In fact the en- thueiasm is so strong that it may be launched as d daily. The ERA is of the opinion that the Guardian could be made Co answer all the pressing de- mandS CT the party for some years to come, but of course the ERA is not the best of authority on the needs of the democratic party. The Guardian Is political organ, or nothing. Its editor is chairman Of the democratic party, and gentleman. However, another paper will-throw a little mora vim iuto the campaign. It is under stood that the new paper will be un- der the management of A. Vatican, formerly of the Moreno; Standard, who has his bustling clothes on, and is in the saddle.

The w. & G. mess Of Crystal avenue
 gave very pleasant birthday party
 Saturday evening last, which was at
 tended by about fifty young men, and
 several who were not so very young. Howard Mix received d letter from some one back in the states reminding him that he would have birthday on Tuesday, and he told the cook to bake
 a cake in honor of the great
 event. This reminded Cy Golden of birthday on Wednesday, and he thought it would be a good idea to
 make the cake little bigger, join is- sues and invite in two or three friends
 This put Dr.. Burtch :n a reminiscent
 mood, and after figuring awhile with a
 pencil he decided that his birthday
 fell on one of the days Of the week,
 but he couldn't figure out which day
 it was, but at any rate he moved to in-
 tereene in the proceedings, and also ask in two or three friends. Then one of tine boys remembered that old Glory also had birth day during the week, and in honor Of all these great events he moved that the w. 6t G. mess give birthday party, and the mo- ti"n carried unanimously, and that's how it happened to be such big blow out. All members of the mess asked d few friends, and they asked few of their friends, hence it was a very friendly affair. The galleries and din. ing room were decorated Tn the nation al colors, while Old Glory waved grace | fully in the evening breeze. Many lit | tie glories were also conspicuous about | the premises, while the beautiful residence and the stately cottonwood trees from the gallery to the gate were aglo with electric lights in red, white aud blue. The guests were assembled on the lawn and spent the evening at h high-five and in social conversation. consisting of sand- viches, ice cream, cake and lemonade were served at 11:30 after which the guests departed for their holnes, having spent a most delightfrl eve hing
