SALOON GOES INTO TORRENT
With It Some Patrons Lose Their
Lives

BY Associated Press
BISBEE, Ariz.. Dec. 4.-One of the
worst floods in the history of Clifton
Ariz., came down the San Francisco
river and Chase creek last night.
The principal business section of the
town was almost completely ruined.
From seven to twenty persons is the
report of the loss of life.
The name of only one victim, how
ever, has been obtained. Mrs Joseph
Throm, who with her husband and
children was caught in a falling build
ing, was killed. The other members of
the family had narrow escapes.
One of the saloons which was washed
away carried several men into the
torrent and they are believed to have
been drowned.
A woman and a child were lost in a
small restaurant that was dashed to
pieces in the flood.
A number of small frame buildings
in which people were known to be liv-
ing also were destroyed, and it is feared
that a number of families have per-
ished.
The Coronado railway from Clifton
to Longfellow is destroyed. 1t will be
several weeks before business can be
resumed over the road.
The financial loss cannot be esti-
mated.

leans from the Army
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-Represen-
tative Slayden of Texas today intro
duced a bill which provides that ION or
before June 80, 1907. all enlisted men
of the army who are negroes or of
negro descent shall be discharged from
the service of the United States and
thereafter no negro or person of negro
descent shall be enlisted or appointed
in the army of the United States
In explaining his bill Mr.. SIayden
said:
"The bill speaks for itself 1t was
not introduced for buncombe My pur-
pose is to give the congress of the
United States an opportunity to purge
the army of an admittedly dangerous
element.
'ro say that the negroes are brave
is not an argument against this meas
ure. Many men have been brave, in
fact most men are in fighting. The
Comanche and Sioux Indians Were
as brave men as can be. No one
would suggest that we ultimately re-
cruit regiments from them, put guns
in their hands and station them near
companies of white troops toward
which they entertain inherent race hos
tility
"The Twenty-ffth infantry is mani
testify imbued with the same race hos
tility and events have shown IL to be
quite as dangerous as the Sioux or
Comanche Indians"

The Boy Santa Claus
F Org0G
By s. E hiser

4 little lame boy used to live in a house
That Santa Claus passed by
When ne hurried through here on his Journey
last year,
And often have wondered why;
For the little lame boy had no father, you
know,
And his face was 50 thin and 50 white
That the saint, | should think, would have
wanted Is 80
To pay him a visit that night.
When | looked at the gifts that old Santa
had brought
was never 81 proud or 50 glad;
But whenever l thought Of the boy he forgot
It somehow kept making me sad;
For the little lame boy was good little boy,
And couldn't help wondering why,
If the ones that are best deserve more than
the rest,
Good Santa Claus passed him by
/ took him some turkey and cookies and toys,
And It made him 50 glad that he cried
And all dav Kept thinking of lame little boys,
And felt kind Of choky inside
But | dreamed the most beautiful dream
that night
About bright angel that came
And sat on my bed and was dressed all IN
white
And sang of a boy who lame.
The little lame boy ism here any more.
And guess that up IN the sky
The Santa Claus there will always take care
To not 90 passing HIM by,
And all Of the toys that BOYS ever had
Wouldn't make me 50 glad as the thought
That made the poor little lame boy glad
When Santa, somehow, forgot
