A Base Ball Card.

Seeing that base ball is a sport in
which we all seem universally inter-
ested, and believing that our little
berg sports about the best team in
the southwest, it OCCURS to me that
we should show them d. little more
regard than to send them into some
other community in those old red
tatters they wore last Sunday.
We all know that base ball adyer-
tises a: town better than most any
thing else and if we send the boys
out in neat, clean uniforms it tends
to gladden. their spirits and may save
them roasting from the grand
stand: Besides it speaks better for
the town.
The boys are not inclined to ask
for these things, but it should be our
place to see that they get them with
out the asking. They certainly
treat us to the best they have in
stock and why should we not recipro-
cate?
Everyone knows what shape the
Clifton grounds are in and the boys
would prefer to play bareheaded- and
see the grounds shaped up than to
spend the treasury money for suits.

So the People May Know.

According to bit of thinly yelled
spleen under the guise of friendly
advice sent out by our esteemed fell
low townsman, Major Latin, to a
small but faithful clientele, the Cliff
ton Band are pretty risky when it
comes to the question of paying bills.
Now let's have it right. During the
Carnival the manager of the Carni-
val Co. evidently gave the Major
some advertising direct. The Band
was not asked to sanction the bill or
to acquiesce in the order, in fact knew
absolutely nothing of the trans
action. When the bill was presented
we refused to pay on the grounds
that we had not ordered it and would
not have ordered the work if we had
been asked to o K the original
order. If the Major can get a jury
of sane business men to agree on d
verdict that they will pay bills in
which they have not been given an
opportunity to say whether or not
they would be responsible, we'll pay
the Major that little fifteen. [ don't
believe we will much before that.
AS to the statement concerning MIR.
Colquhoun's gift, that is a myth of the
Majors own fancy made entirely
from benzine, lamp black and bad
next days headache. To be more ac-
curate it is an outright falsehood.
The Clifton Band has ample funds
for present needs and has asked for
no contributions since the first
amounts given us upon our organiza-
tion as band.
1 trust this ends the doll and toy
squabble between a bunch of boys
who are trying manfully to perfect
an organization, the sole object of
which is to render recreation to our
citizens without cost, and man who
is old enough to know one of the
most elementary rules of business,
viz: That it is not good business to
render values to one party to be
charged to another party unless the
other party says its o K.

Clifton s. Morenci /,

On last Sunday large delegation
of Morenci people came down to wit
hess the ball game between Clifton
and Morenci and see Billy O'Brien
clean up the locals, but fate was
against him and the hill city boys
went down to the tune of 81.
Both teams warmed up and ap-
peared to be in their usual form and
when the game started admirers of
both sides cheered the boys and the
game was on. Marquee and O'Brien,
who are no doubt the favorite
pitchers of the two camps, were
pitted against each other and a close
contest was expected, but the Mo-
renci boys went back on Billey in the
second inning and donated five runs
to Clifton, which proved sufficient to
win the game. Clifton scored only
in one inning as also did Morenci,
which was in the eighth, when they
made the only earned run in the
game. Considerable cash changed
hands, and those who witnessed the
game enjoyed themselves, especially
those who admired the locals. Har-
mony prevailed among the boys and
| there appears to be only one unpopu-
lar player on the two teams and he
played such a good game that there
was not much chance for roofing.
Clifton secured only six hits of
Billy, while the Morenci boys touched
Jesus up for ten, but the fast field
ing of Daniels saved the day for Cliff
ton. In one inning Daniels alone re-
tired the side. Aside from the balloon
ascension in the. second inning the
Morenci boys played perfect game.
The score really should have been
10 in favor of Morenci.

A. M. WHAPLES,
Director Clifton Band.

The Bulletin devotes column and
half of space to explaining" why
the main road leading into Clifton
from the south and east, which was
washed away last fall, has not been
fixed. The "explanation" fails to
explain, though the editor of the
Bulletin probably thinks that it does.
This road was washed away last fall
and the entire travel is now COM
PEELED to follow the railroad grade
through a cut in the edge of the
mountain and on a sharp curve, and
the wonder is that some of the team
sters have not been killed long ago.
The responsibility for this state of
affairs seems to lie with the super
visOrS. Their attention was called
to the dangerous condition of this
road long ago, but for some reason
they did not act on the matter until
quite recently, and unless d special
meeting is held the work of laying
out the new road can not be finished
before the regular meeting which
will be held in July, in which event,
if everything goes well, it may be
possible to get the road into condi-
tion before fall. This is certainly a
fine state of affairs for a big rich
county like Graham. The ERA ven
lures to say that were this county
half its present size this road would
have been fixed long ago. In this
connection it may be well to remem-
Der that we not only have precinct
road supervisors, but also a county
road supervisor. who draws down a
good salary and a splendid mileage
besides, but here is one of the main
roads of the county out of commits
sion for more than six months.
Road Supervisor Webster states that
he is not responsible, as he did all in
his power to have a new road laid
out long ago. He spent considerable
time and money in attempting to
have the matter arranged, but with
out success. Under the circum-
stances the least the board can now
do is to hold a special meeting to act
on the matter. In this manner it
may yet be possible to have a road
built during the present summer.

Yes, dear Major, the ERA is printed
in a basement, which has at least
one advantage. The editors ear is so
close to the ground that he can catch
the slightest sound wave of any news
item happening in any part of the
county. This is doubtless one of the
reasons why the ERA furnishes more
news than all of the other papers in
the county combined.

A FUNNY STORY TOLD BY THE
OLD DETECTIVE HIMSELF.

After the successful issue of a
foregoing case, l finally succeeded
in ''roping in" a very slick young
crook, who for some time past had
been working the country banks of
the south for considerable sums. l
was put on his trail and tracked
him to a hotel in Memphis. He
was handsome young fellow, small
of stature, and with hand and
foot like a duchess; and, noting this
the moment l got sight of my
man." l suspected that he was not
stranger to female DISCUSSES.
My evidence against him was a
trifle shaky, and | concluded not to
arrest him Immediately, but to give
him an opportunity to make play
that would securely bag" him.
That evening a very stylish
young lady occupied the seat next
to me at the supper table. l fell
into conversation with her, learned
she was from New Orleans and the
daughter OF a wealthy banker
forgot to watch my man." and
spent the evening with the young
lady in the parlor. She was an ex-
pert at the piano, and had a most
beautiful voice, and sung sentimen-
tai songs to me until my heart
crawled over to her. She intended
to go away the next day, but per-
suaded her to postpone her depart
ure and paid her assiduous atten-
ton to such an extent that opera
tickets, suppers, carriages and flow
ers spoiled 500 bill in two days.
l suddenly discovered that my
bank worker had flown, but | did
not worry much - the bankers
daughter interested me far more
than the bankers robber.
The third evening she was play
ing the piano and WAS playing
the fool. l was begging one of her
beautiful yellow curls, but she
stoutly refused and l made a pre-
tense of cutting one off, at which

His clothes were shabby, his eyes

drawn. His conversation showed
that he had been well bred and edu-
Gated. 1t was with reluctance that
he told that he came from Edin-

all who desire to attend will so mott
fly the committee. Tickets at 81

and the speakers that will respond
