E. H. Franz, manager of the Beck er-Franz company, is home from a trip to St. Louis. On the return trip he stopped off at a number of towns in New Mexico, and reports them all as quite prosperous. He reports Las Vegas and Santa Fe booming, but states that none of the New Mexico towns are equal to the towns of Ari- zona. The towns of New Mexico de- pend principally upon the cattle and sheep industries, while the Arizona towns draw their support and pros perity chiefly from the mining in- duStrY.

 A. Lafave, who recently left Cliff ton to continue development work on his mining property at Gold Hill, has struck a new lead of ore, which aver ages from $25 to ~$30 per ton gold. MT. Lafave's property long since passed the development stage, and will soon have enough ore blocked out to justify the erection of small stamp mill. Gold Hill will soon be the lode stone which will attract the attention of mining men.
 Dick Marshall, who is developing gold property near the Morenci road nearly opposite the Rock House on Chase creek, will soon have a ten ton shipment of ore ready for the market which will net him not less than S200 per ton. His last ship ment of ore netted S160 per ton, but the ore now coming from the prop erty is of much better grade. It will be remembered by readers of the ERA that Mir. Marshall was on the point of leaving this camp for Ne yada last winter, but was detained for a few weeks, and during that time struck about as good a mine as he could expect to find in any coun- try. He has specimens that are full of heavy wire gold and would go thousands of dollars to the ton. His property is much more than paying for it's development.
 The output of the Arizona Copper company for last month was 1412 tons, or 2,824, 1000 pounds. The output for the Shannon company for the same time was 69l tons, or 1 1,3S2, 1000 pounds, a total of 4,106,000 pounds. To this can be added the output of the De- troit Copper Mining company which is not made public, but probably averages about 1,500,000 pounds per month, or grand total for the camp of 5,606,000 pounds which is "some" copper. One ot the most favora ble indications of the future of this dis trict is the fact that all of the inn mense plants of the companies now operating are being largely in- creased, so that by the end of the present year the, regular monthly output will range between eight and ten million pounds per month. This grand output will undoubtedly at tract much attention, and no doubt will be the means of encouraging many new investments in this sec tion.

In this issue of the ERA will be found the advertisement of s. W. Price, formerly of Clifton, who has To- cated at Huntington Beach, and is now engaged in the real estate busi- ness. Huntington Beach is one of the most enterprising new beach towns of Southern California, and has a brilliant future before it. The To- cation of the town is all that could be desired, and it is backed by the most fertile section of Southern Califor- mia. It has graded and oiled streets with shade trees planted and cement sidewalks laid in front of all lots offered for sale. The town has been selected for the Methodist conference of California, and the Methodists are making extensive improvements there. Huntington Beach is thirty miles from Los Angeles and is connected by the Southern Pacific railroad and Huntington's electric line which makes the trip from Los Angeles in forty minutes. Trains arrive and depart every hour. Last year more than 2000 carloads of celery were shipped from Huntington Beach besides a vast amount of fruit and vegetables. It is expected that this year the celery shipments will amount to 5000 cars. People who contemplate locating in California will do well to call on MT. Price at Huntington Beach before locating elsewhere.

Married, at the home of the bride $ parents in St. Louis, last Thursday, June 1st, Mir. J. H. Kerby and Miss Cora Gibson. Mir. Kerby left Clifton few weeks ago and the mission of his trip was not revealed until last Sunday when he and his bride alight- ed from the passenger train. They were greeted by a number of friends who incidentally happened to be present and were showered numerous congratulations, but on Monday evening the orchestra was secured and a warmer reception given the bride and groom. After a long pro- gram in which beautiful and strenuous chords were rendered Jim in- vited the boys to refreshments in which all participated with hearty good will.
 MT. Kerby is one of the most popu- lar young men i'll Clifton and he is to be congratulated on capturing one of the most charming young ladies ever reared in old Missouri. MT. and Mrs. Kerby will make their future home in Clifton and will reside on Hills addition, where the groom has pre- pared a home.

TOUCHING STORY OF PARENTAL
DEVOTION IN MURDER CASE
At MARENGo
Eric Won KutzIeben, Accused Of
Wrecking Rock Island Train, Is Be-
Ing Strengthened In His Defense by
His Mother, German Baroness.

Marengo, Nov. 7.-Having sacrificed
her last right to occupy castle at
Brandenberg, Germany, and sold every
vestige of property belonging to fam
lily of noble blood which had given
many lives to the cause of liberty,
Baroness Won Kutzleben occupies a
rickety chair today In the little court
house in this city endeavoring to Sc.
cure the liberty Of her favorite son,
Eric, from the charge of murder in the
first degree. Eric is accused of having
wrecked the Rock Island train at
Homestead last spring, resulting in the
death of Engineer A. G. Hotchkiss.

woman, realizing her inability to

Judge who was trying her son, looked
imploringly toward the judge in his
seat and between sobs said: IF it was

"In mine own language could tell
you how awful it is for my son to be
accused of this terrible murder" said
the baroness. ''Why do they not let
him go? He is but child He does
not know what he is saying"
America Owes the KutzIebens.
America owes a great debt to the

Albrecht Adolph The estate was
changed here by the marriage of Car
oline Won Buttlar to Erich Wilhelm
Won Kutzleben and the seat was NOV
ed to Willershausen including the
Kammerjunker estate. Next in line
is Friedrich August Won Kutzleben,
who married Louise Won Rendell. They
have two children, Ferdinand and
Carl The latter married Charlotte
Won Zieten. A son and daughter in
each of the families is married to the
other family, making double mar
riage of first cousins. Two of these,
Ferdinand II and Clementine are the
two now in America, the parents of
Eric Won Kutzleben on trial in the
Iowa county court for murder in the
| first degree.
The division of the estates among
many heirs had dissipated it until a
small tract known as Wommen was
all that was left to the baroness who
! is now in America. 1t now belongs to
her sister Emile Won Kutzleben with
whom she has been living since her
husband fled to America.
Many Famous Soldiers.
Many of these ancestors of the Bar
oness Won Kutzleben we're famous
soldiers. Two of her brothers are
now officers in the German army, the
enc, Gunther is major and the other is
first adjutant to the Duke of Manning.
Louis Won Kutzleben was a general in
the German army and was afterward
/ in Holland. General Won Lengerenke
is brother-in-law of the baroness.

about the services Of General Won

ed my husband if we should mention
lit. He is our great uncle and he left
the estates to come to the aid of the
Americans in 1878. His sons and
grandsons afterward visited America
when invited by the president. Surely
the people of America will remember
this because I want the people to
know that we came from a family of
good people"
She has told this story to her sons
attorneys, r. G. Popham and H. NJ
Hayner, but they have relied thus far
on the strength of their defense and
believe that no appeal for. sympathy
will be necessary.

Dates Back to 1867.

The Kutzleben family dates back to

First Member 0. the Family.

Hans wyprecht, the first member
of the Won Zienten family from which
the baroness descended, was born In
1889 and as Frederick Barbarossa laid
the sword on his shoulders he was
made the first Marquis Of Branden-
burg the province In which Berlin is
now located.
Bernd Won Zieten, born in 1345, Is
the next name that appears on the
family tree in the records to be filed
with the courts at Marengo. The rec
ords are incomplete because OF the de-
struction of the churches during the
troublous times that followed in cen
trail Europe centuries later. The same
estates were held, however, and this
man was the ruler of the cities of
Berlin and Cologne lying close togeth-
er in the province. Hans Won zieten
born in 1449, came from Wiedburg and
was made count of Russin.
Joachim Won Zieten, who was born
in 1886, held practically the same es-
tates as feudal lord and married
Catherine Won Rothen thus adding an
other large estate. From this time
down to the present the lineage OF the
family Is traced without a break. Jac-
OBJ Friedrich is the next son and sue
ceeding him is Levin Friedrich, who
was the author of the German military
laws then written. He married Au.
guste Won Schultz. Then succeeded
Gottfried Christopher Won Lieten OF
Wurtenburg, Carl Hartung and Char
lotte Won Kutzleben, Joining the Kutz
leben family with the older one OF
Zieten.
