The Clifton and Morenci ball teams
met on the local diamond last Sun
day in a ball game that had no
victory attached to it, and after d
deliberation of twelve hard fought
innings, Umpire Bidwell got tired
and called the game tie, something
never before witnessed in the south
west. A light rain fell when the
game was started and continued
throughout the entire performance,
which made it rather announcement
for the spectators, although they
remained to see the finish. Morenci
had a bad streak in the first and
second innings, allowing the locals
to score one in the first and three
in the. second, while they secured
but one. Morenci secured another
in the third, leaving the score AZ
in favor of Clifton, when Captain
Mcclellan called for time on &C
count of the rain. An intermission
of thirty minutes took place, after
which the game was started again
and Clifton was given goose eggs
up to the seventh. while MorenCi
made two more runs and tied the
score. Things began to look inter
esting and some betting took place
In the seventh Clifton made two
runs to Morenci's one, giving them
the lead, which was again tied in
the eight, the score being 6-6. The
score remained in this condition until
the end of the twelfth inning, when
it was decided to call the game a
draw, as there appeared to be no
chance for either side to score. 1t
was one of the finest exhibitions
ever seen on the local diamond.
Marquee, who succeed in mailing ten
Morenci sluggers to the. cross,
pitched the full twelve innings and
at the close of the game was pitch
ing much better ball than at the
start. Swanton pitched the first
four innings for Morenci, after which
he gave up and turned it over to
Ashley, who continued the remainder
of the game, and, as usual, held the
locals down pretty well. Marquee
held the visitors down to eleven hits,
while the locals got seven hits from
Swanton and seven from Ashley.
The following is the score:

O'BRIEN MOORE, for the past five
years editor of the Tucson Citizen,
was found dead in bed at his resi-
dence Saturday morning last, heart
failure being the cause of his death.
He was not telling we'll the evening
before and went home, after which a
physician was summoned. When the
doctor called next morning Mr.
Moore was found dead There was
no one present except his little son
at the time of his death, his wife
and daughter being in Los Angeles.
O'Brien Moore was admitted to be
the ablest newspaper man in Arizona
and has been the proprietor of the
Citizen for about five years. He was
fifty-one years old, and was born at
Middlestown, Cork county, Ireland
He was educated at Trinity college
in Dublin, but before his graduation
left for America, coming to New
York, where he remained Tor several
years, during which time he got a
taste of the newspaper business. He
was pioneer of Arizona and was in
Tombstone editing the Tombstone
Epitaph twenty-four years ago.
Leaving Tombstone he became con-
nected with paper in Dallas, Texas.
and from there he went to st. Louis
and secured position on the old st.
Louis Republican, becoming its man
aging editor. From st. Louis he
went to Washington, D. c., as the
correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
public, and held this position for
seven years. He left Washington at
the breaking out of the Spanish
American war and was made a major

war had been concluded he turned
again to the west and after being
connected with Ell Paso. and Los An
geles papers he came back to Arizona
and with friends purchased the Tue
son Citizen which he has edited up to
the present time.

THE board of supervisors at it's
meeting last week had no great
amount of business to transact, but
one of the important things done
was the reduction made @ in the tax
levy to $3.50, not including special
school district levies. This is the
result of the large increase made
this year in the assessment roll of
Graham county. At the former high
levy and low assessment taxpayers
were paying practically the same
amount as they will pay under the
present levy. The individuals, who
have been assessed higher than the
companies on their property valua-
tions, will be greatly benefited by
the change. Another great change
in this county and something to be
proud of is the fact that Graham is
practically on a cash paying basis,
which IS quite convenience to
jurors, who cannot afford to hold
script. The new rate is made up as
follows: Interest on county funding
bonds, Is cents; county redemption
bonds, s cents; interest on redemp-
ton bonds, l cent; general school
fund, so cents; general road fund, 20
cents; general county fund, 81 cents;
to this is added the territorial levy
10 cents, making a total of $3.50.

CLIFTON

The Clifton and Morenci bail teams
have been induced to play series
of three games on the Ell Paso dia
mond, commencing next Saturday
and lasting until Monday. The
teams will leave Friday morning with
the best line-ups they have had this
season and the Ell Paso people will
certainly have some good base ball
for once. These teams are so evenly
matched that it will be difficult to
pick the winner, but the ERA is of
the opinion that Clifton hassthe best
of it. Marquee will pitch for Clifton
and Monday and Harvey,
the new man, will pitch Sunday.
Ashley and Swanton will be on the
Morenci pitching staff, and while
Swanton is a new man, there is every
reason to believe that he will make
good. Ashley is already well known
to the Ell Paso people.

IT IS impossible for the people of
this country to imagine the suffering
of the people in Chill, who have
been visited by one of the most dis
astrous earthquakes in history. The
loss of life has been immense and
from reports the San Francisco disas-
ter is not a circumstance. The peo-
pie have been left without shelter or
provisions and in several instances
entire cities have been swallowed
into the bowels of the earth. Those
who have been fortunate enough to
survive are undergoing hardships I'M
known to humanity. 1t is in the
dead of winter, which increases the
suffering. Only those who witnessed
the Frisco disaster are in position
to fully realize the condition IN

CALL AMERICANS STINGY
British IDnkeepers Lament Growing
Economy Of Tourists.

Hotel and restaurant keepers of Lon
don are complaining of the small sums
which Americans touring Europe spend
nowadays for meals. The increase in
the number of American visitors and
the growing knowledge of the time
honored British custom of charging high
prices for the fscenery, has wrought
reform in the spending achievements of
the majority Of visiting Americans, who
dislike to be looked upon as suckers.
Three ladies and a gentleman sat
down to lunch the other day in one of
the latest and most expensive of West
End hotels. They were Americans and
gazed with much satisfaction at the
rose-tinted walls, the expensive chairs,
the rich carpets, the white Dapery and
the chaste silver and cutlery on the
tables.
Then they ordered lettuce, piece
of cheese and n roll. The man had
cup of tea and the ladies bottle of
soda water among them. The surprising
thing is that they were served, though
they certainly would have paid much
less had they gone TO a teashop,
"Were there many of these economl-
cal Americans about we should soon
have to shut the place up" SAID the
"Fancy having to pay for all this, -
with wave of his hand, "from the
profit on a lettuce and piece. OF

it somewhat expensive.

cal Americans; it is the season for them.
They belong TO the class who have rela-

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Manning Of Horse Probably Prevents

one of the horses of the Pacific Express
wagon was so badly nurt by the force
of the collision that he is probably
worthless in that service, and ii may
be necessary TO shoot him,
The accident was caused by the run
ming away of a team belonging TO A..
e. Weatherby's meat market, The wa
gon was being loaded in the alley in
the rear of the establishment, and a
boy on a horse came through the alley
on a run. The team started south
ward and turned at Twcnty-fitth street,
going west on the south side of the
street They collided with the Off
horse of the Pacific Express company,
and the pole of the runaway struck
the horse in the righr shoulder, causing
frightful decorations and probably ruin
ing the horse.
Just west of where the team stood,
and crowding that side of the street
to Wall avenue, were many single rigs
going eastward loaded with women and
children, Two wagon lengths west of
where the collision occurred WAS a

little children in the conveyance. Had
it not been for the collision with the

SMELTERMEA AND
FARMERS AGREE
Trouble Over the Shelter Fumes
Has Been Satisfactorily
Settled.
BUT LITTLE DIFFICULTY
IN ARRIVING AT TERMS
Experts Arrive at Conclusion
That Flue Dust Is Chief
Destructive Agent.

Agents of the smelling companies
that are operating IN Salt Lake valley
have been busy during the past few
weeks negotiating with the farmers IN
the vicinity of the plants for the pur-
pose of arriving at settlement Of the
losses sustained by the latter because
of the smelter fumes, with the result
that they have now arrived at agree
ments that practically preclude the pos
sibility of litigation over the matter
this year. The adjustment of losses
has involved the expenditure of large
sums of money by the smelter COM
panies, but notwithstanding this fact
the agents assert that the farmers
have, with but few exceptions, been
reasonable IN their demands. and but
little difficulty was encountered in ar
irving at terms of settlement satisfac-
tory 10 all concerned
Agreed Upon Settlement
The United States Smelling, Refining
and Mining company and the Bingham
Consolidated Mining and Smelling com.
pany have either settled with those
who own farms within the area in
which the vegetation has been DANA ged
by the fumes from their plants or
have agreed with them. on terms OF
settlement, and. in order to minimize
the future damage to crops, are taking
steps to ascertain and overcome the
cause Of destruction
During the summer Prof w. G..
Ebaugh Of the University OF Utah has
been making an investigation in the
fields adjoining the smelters for the
purpose of discovering the cause Of the
injury TO the crops, and, it is said,
has arrived at the conclusion that
flue dust is the chief destructive ele-
ment, Basing their judgment on this
assurance, the smelter men are conf
dent that the steps which they are
about to take will cut down, if not
entirely eliminate the destruction OF
crops, and. as much is expected from
the innovations which they have in
contemplation, they will proceed at
once with the work of installing new
devices designed TO prevent the escape
OF the dust from the furnaces.
At Bingham Consolidated.
The Bingham Consolidated has ex-
pended $4,000 In the construction OF
plant designed TO collect and resmelt
the dust and to dilute the sulphurous
gases. The work is being done under
the supervision of II, l.. Charles, gen
eral manager, aud is making rapid
progress.

of over 100000, the United States
company is constructing r large bag
