Two or three Arizona newspapers are camping on the trail of the Ari- zona rangers, with the evident inten- tion of impairing the usefulness of the organization by diminishing it's numbers. The plea is made that when the rangers were organized cattle thieves were numerous along the border and the services of the rangers were necessary; but that the evil has been so greatly lessened during the past few years as to rem der the maintenance of the company at its present strength unnecessary.
 The reason advanced for the pro- posed diminishing of the force is hardly logical one, from the view point of d man in the cattle country, and right on the border, as well. It is fact that cattle stealing has be- come less popular in this section, but the cattle thieves have not been all killed off by any means. Some have been driven out of the country and others have sought less dangerous vacations.
 This condition is due to the ener- getic services of the Arizona rangers. They are experienced cattlemen, trained to the. rugged life that an active ranger must lead and knowing
 
 habits of the cattle rustlers. It is fear of these men that has stopped the depredations of the cattle thieves. Abolish the rangers and the abolishment of the organization will be the signal for which many are undoubtedly waiting, to resume their raids. Cut the force in two and the danger of cattle stealing will be suf- ficiently diminished to tempt many of the old timers to again start in busi- ness with horse, riata and branding iron for capital.-Oasis.
 It is an undisputed fact that the best service rendered by the ranger force was during the first two years of its organization, when it contain ed only twelve members. At that time there was much work for it to do. and it performed its duty in a creditable manner.
 Neither the ERA, nor any other newspaper in the territory, has ad- vocated doing away with the service entirely, but surely there is no necessity of so large a force, es- pecially since the gangs of outlaws have been driven out of the country.
 While the rangers have done good service in Arizona, they were not wholly responsible for cleaning up the outlaws. Local officers also had much to do with ridding the country of this undesirable class of people. In Graham county especially local officers did most excellent work in the field, and deserve as much, or more, credit than the rangers in the good work accomplished.

The Globe Belt states that Ben Williams who had been running a game in the St. Louis Brewery saloon at that place failed to show up We'd nesday morning of last week. The sack containing three hundred silver plunks also disappeared with him. Deputy Sheriff Birchfield cut the trails around Globe, and as a result Williams is now in jail. He had SS1 with him when captured, and also a horse which he had bought, but re- fused to say what had become of the rest of the money. c. Wardman, a ieweler of Globe also disappeared suddenly. Officers had a writ of re- plevin to serve on him. He is said to have been badly in debt. and is probably hunting a new location.

NOTES,


 Now that Clifton has made start Morenci will have to play ball.
 Happy Headrick demonstrated that there was nothing in a name.
 After Clifton had telegraphed all over the country to obtain pitcher, and failed, it wns decided to give Jesus Marquez a chance. A chance was all that was necessary. He sur prised the camp by making good from the start. For seven success sive innings the Morenci invin- cibles were sent to the bench after being thrown out at first. It is true that they found the ball, but it was always d dinkey hit. Several times Jesus pulled himself out of a bad hole by good head-work. He covered his position as we'll as any pitcher, and by allowing Morenci but five safe hits made the best record on the diamond this season. He will now be trained up and the next time he goes before Morenci he will have some new ones to spring on them.
 Billy Doran caught for Clifton and as the ERA said last week he proved to be as good as any catcher in Ari- zona. He was in the game all the time, and from now on he will probably occupy the position of catcher, while the Big Chief will go on short.
 Charley Daniels: the new addition to the Clifton team, will play in the field.H He is fast, and judging from the way he touched up the sphere in Sun days game, he will be strong ad- dition to the team. With Charley in the field and the Chief on short the lineup will be the best ever, and it is likely that a few more additions will te made soon.
 Ray Pollard, an oldtimer at the business, umpired a magnificent game and gave perfect satisfaction to the players and spectators.
 There will be another game be- tween the same teams Sunday next, and a hot contest is expected.

Clifton 4-Morenci 2.
Clifton defeated Morenci last


 day in one of the fastest games of the season, the score being 4-2, and was played in one hour and twenty minutes.
 For the first time in six games the Clifton boys got together and con tined to pull together until the end.
 The attendance was not as large as usual owing to lack of advertising and the understanding that Clifton had no pitcher. The imported pitch CT did not arrive, but a wonder was discovered in Jesus Marques, who en- tertained the aggregation of Mo rencl sluggers, and when he got through with them they had only gathered five safe hits, which were scattered throughout the game. It was the fifth inning before they got safe hit, and the eighth before they scored, when O'Brien walked and Bruebaker doubled to left, SCOT ing O'Brien. Mcclellan then hit safe, scoring Brubaker, and that end ed the run-getting.
 Clifton scored one in the second, two in the third and one in the sev- enth, with the last half of the ninth unplayed.
 It was a fine game from start to
 
 renci and five by Clifton, which were not very costly to either side.
 At times there were some very thrilling plays made which enter tained the grand stand. Three times 1t seemed as though Morenci would score, but one time Jesus crowded the runner between third and home, and then Quilting whipped the bali to second in flash, making a beau- tiful double and retiring the side. Again he caught one at home plate on passed fban. The third was when Rankin reached second with two out. MacClelland sent a liner to left field which Danenhauer placed in Billey's init at home plate just in time to save the score. The Morenci line up was the strongest the Hill city could put out, with O'Brien in the box and Brue- baker behind the bat. At times O'Brien was unsteady, but in the second inning he made Dunenhauer lay it down with three men on bases. It was a beautiful piece of work, and was applauded by the grand stand.
