A. D. Edwards. formerly of the |

A. u. EQWdrQS, formerly OF the
electrical department; was taught
lesson one day last week which he is
apt to remember some time. He left
town without settling with his credi-
tors, and was stopped at Duncan,
brought back and trimmed to finish.
1t was particularly agravating case
as he had bought many things which
he did not need, and also told some of
his friends that he intended to show
the Clifton merchants a new trick.
The Becker-Franz company, to whom
he owed a large bill, got pointer on
his departure, and had him arrested
at Duncan. He then wanted to set
tie, but Mr. Franz insisted on his re-
turn and he was brought up under
the charge of an officer, which he
found expensive. After arriving in
Clifton he found that it would be i'm
possible to again tear himself away
without settling all scores, which he
proceeded to do. 1t took all of his
available cash to liquidate, but he is
much richer in experience. 1t is I'M
derstood that he has located in Ell
Paso temporarily.

court, which adjourned until the 14th
instant without rendering decision.

Sanitary Officer Spaulding of Bis
bee announced that he had quaran-
tined % families on the Naco road
in the vicinity of the Slavonian store
because of smallpox, which had
developed in a Mexican family on
the hill. The family was taken to
the pest house. Father, mother and
two children are infected. 1t is
expected that all will be taken sick,
the mother and father at the present
time, however, only being afflicted.
City Physician Broderick went to the
vicinity of the home of the family
sent to the pest house and directed
thorough fumigation. With virus
he took along, he later vaccinated
seventy people living in the vicinity.

Tutt1e, Woodman, Anderson and
Elliott, accompanied by Messrs.
Elliott, Patterson and Crawford,
composed jolly party who left Cliff
ton last Saturday afternoon for
Granville, where they remained over
Sunday, returning Monday. The trip
was made on horseback and it is re-
ported that they had a fine time and
consider the Granville country a
frst-class pleasure resort. The
party was joined at Metcalf by DR.:
Tebbetts, who successfully guided
the party over the long and narrow
trails. The doctor has the reputa-
ton of being one of the most jolly
guides in the district.
John Keppler was in town this week
from his mines in the Mayflower dis

Clifton Saturday morning en- route to
Ell Paso, where he spent Sunday on a
little pleasure trip in the interest of
the Morenci base ball team The
ERA hopes that he succeeded in
matching a game between Ell Paso
and Morenci. James is true sport
and there is no reason why he will
not lead his team to victory if they
stay with him.

shall of New Mexico, arrived in Cliff
ton one day last week to summons
one Mr.. Bragg, who was wanted in
New Mexico to reveal some facts
