THERE has been considerable con

THERE has been considerable com ment in the newspapers of the north ern part of the territory over the shooting of Mexican by Ranger Neill, which occurred a few weeks ago. It seems that the Mexican, who was called upon to surrender, took the first shot at the ranger, who returned the fire, and got his man. We cannot understand how anyone could censure the ranger un- der such circumstances. It is quite clear that he was acting in self-de- fense. It is further apparent that the Mexican had no right to carry a gun, and the fact that he used it when called upon to surrender, would certainly indicate that he was looking for trouble, and he got no more than he deserved. Ranger Paul, who is stationed at Yuma, is also having a little trouble. It seems that he attempted to arrest Mexican who did not resist arrest, but threw his arms around lamp post, from which the ranger could not free him. The ranger then beat the man up with his gun, for which he was after wards arrested, and is now held un- der bond to await the action of the grand jury. This case would appear to be one of wanton cruelty. The officers life was not in danger, and if he cOrld not taLe tha man a1One he had the right to call on others for assistance. It would seem from the various charges of this kind against the rangers that they are entirely too free in clubbing. men whom they wish to arrest.

SUNDAYS GAMES.

The Sunday games were not what had been expected, yet there are fairly good reasons for it when one considers all the circumstances. The ball games were the principal fea- lures of the fair-in fact were just about the whole thing. There was a tie on first, second and third money, which the president of the fair as sociation, w. H. Greer, insisted should be played off. The teams were all willing to do this, but naturally expected a part of the gate receipts, to which they were entitled. MT. Greer informed them that they could not have one cent of the receipts, and must play off the games or go home empty handed. At the same time a protest had been filed against Clifton by the Las Vegas club, for the reason that the Clifton short stop, Billy O'Brien, was not a member of the club. Clifton had no short stop, and "borrOwed" Billy from Morenci, but he was the only outside man with the team, while Vegas and Trinidad, and i2 fact all the other teams, were partly made up of professional players, who, how ever, had been with the teams a full month, which brought them under the rules of the fair association. To use a common expression, the boys were ''up against it." They were five hundred miles away from home, and while they felt, as all the clubs did, that they were entitled to part of the gate receipts for the Sunday game, they could not afford to refuse to play the game, and thus come home without honors or part of the dough.
 Greer, who was not only president of the fair association, but also largely interested in the traction company, and wanted to make every cent possible, refused to even give the teams transportation over the street railway to the fair grounds. The Clifton and Vegas teams held a consultation, and decided as they would be the only attraction on Sun day, as the fair had closed, that they would put up fake game, and di- vide the money. This program was carried out. The game was attended, it is said by several thousand people, who, after the game was over de- handed their money back, and it was given them. Their sympathy was entirely with the ball players, and more than six hundred of them were so disgusted with Greer's meth ods that they walked into town rather than to patronize the street cars. The fair management was de

nounced by thousands of people on the grounds Even the people of Albuquerque were as bitter in their condemnation of the management as were the visitors The ERA does not approve of fake business. It would prefer to have seen the boys play the game on the square and lose even second money on the contest over O'Brien, and yet their action was really deserved by the fair man. agement. The fair itself was fake. The ball teams were the only attrac tion, and saved the fair from being an utter financial failure, and yet the management was too short to even allow them car fare to play off a tie after the fair was over. The rebuke to the fair management was deserved. Result. of the game was 13-7.
 The game between Fl Paso and Trinidad, which was played on Sunday afternoon to decide the tie for third money, was won by Fl Paso in score of 7-3. Only five innings were played.
 The average daily attendance dur ing the week days was three thous- and, but on Sunday the attendance was much larger.

THE Clifton Herald has declared itself uncompromisingl and emphati- cally in favor of county division or the removal of the county seat from Solomonville to Clifton. This senti- ment seems to be growing rapidly throughout the eastern portion of the county, and it is also generally understood that there is less opposi- tion to division in the western DOT tion of the county than there has been heretofore. Division can only come through the action of the legis- lature, while the question of re- moval could be put to a vote within a short time by complying with the statutes. As between the two the ERA would prefer division for the many reasons heretofore given.
