Superintendent Sharkey, of the
Telephone company, visited Clifton
last week, and informs the ERA that
Il telegraph line has been put in be-
tween the company's Office in Solo,
monyille and the railroad station at
that place, and that in the future all
telegraph messages will be received
and sent by the company from Solo,
knoxville, thus avoiding the delays
which have heretofore been ex-
perienced between Solomonville and
the railroad station. Miss Johnson,
an experienced operator, will have
charge of the Solomonville office in
the future. A farmers line for the
ella valley is also being established,
and about fifty telephones will be in
stalled as soon as possible. The
farmers will have free use of the
line to all towns in the valley, which
will be a great convenience to them.
1t is expected that the government
will soon have line through the for
est reserve in connection with the
valley line. The line is being greatly
improved, and is now giving better
service than ever before.

Trouble at the A. c. SmeIter.

On Friday evening last George
High, one of the smelter foreman at
the A. G. works, had some trouble
with Mexican employe which came
near being a of serious nature. Mr..
High states that some few weeks ago
eight Mexicans arrived from Douglas
who had been employed on the feed
floors at Cananea, and they were
given employment, and as it devel-
oped that they were competent men,
he showed them many favors, and
soon advanced them to eight hour
jobs. A short time ago he discov-
cred that things were not going
right, and few nights before the
trouble he overheard one of them
say to his partner that they would
do up the furnaces and also the
mayordomo. He then watched them
closely and on the night of the trou-
bic caught some of the men from
Cananea putting in two charges of
ore without the necessary coke. He
stopped the business right there,
when he was assaulted by one of the
men from Cananea with a heavy
lunch bucket. He was repeatedly
struck over the head and arm with
the bucket, and as he was not armed,
and was the only American on the
feed floor, he backed away as rapidly
as possible. Finally one of the Next
cans who had long resided here, came
tn his assistance with a shovel, which
Mr.. High grabbed, and then pro-
ceeded to defend himsef. Three
other Mexicans, who were of the
same bunch who hat recently arrived
from Cananea, also came forward
with shovels, but did not attack him.
The man who made the assault then
disappeared. The next morning
Mr.. High, in company with Deputy
Sheriff Bill Spaw, took the train and
went to Duncan. On the following
day the man who made the assault,
in company with another one of the
Cananea bunch, showed up in Duncan
a short time before the train was
due, and he was Immediately arrested
and will be tried this afternoon be-
fore Justice Neff.
Mr.. High, who has long been in the
employ of the A. c. company, and
who is known as very conservative
man, states that he is thoroughly
satisfied that these men from Can
anea had been doing all in their
power to create dissatisfaction
among their own people here with
the intent of bringing about trouble
in the community.

Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Parks and
son, of Morenci, spent a couple of
days in Clifton this week. The
Young gentleman held a reception at
the Clifton hotel, where he met
many friends, and seemed to enjoy
the occasion greatly. He has already
acquired the Misunderstanding habit,
which comes naturally to politicians.
His father says that he usually says
"de-lighted" when shaking hands,
but he cut it out while in Clifton.
He is no doubt a very precocious
youngster. He was born with five
teeth, so his father says, and now at
the age of two months he has eleven.
The Era does not vouch for this
statement, but Johnny Parks does,
and he knows, or at least he ought
to know.

The Morenci ball team went to
Ell Paso last week for a series of
two games with the First National
was pulled off Saturday afternoon
before the largest crowd of specta-
tors that ever assembled at a Satur-
day game, but the Ell Paso papers
that the grand stand was almost
vacated before the finish. The final
result was 2O-13 in favor of Morenci.
The errors were - on the Morenci
side and u on the Ell Paso side, quite
sufficient for series of a half dozen
games. There is some excuse for
the Ell Paso boys making such a
record as that team has not
amounted to very much this season,
but for swift lunch like the Mo-
rencians to even surpass their record
is something that the people of
Clifton and Morenci cannot under
stand unless it was caused by the
change of climate. MOrenci is so
much higher than Ell Paso that the
boys lost their focus on the ball and
become so muffled that they would
have lost against any ordinary team
of base ball players, but it seems
that any team can win against Ell
Paso this season. 1t might be how
ever. that MOrenci wanted to give
them Il chance. with the result
that the fans of that city have lost
all interest in the sport. The Sun
day game was of d different nature,
both teams playing good ball, but,
of course, Morenci captured the
honors by a score of Ga.

Judge Little and wife of Solomon
vile spent few days of last week
in the east end of the county. Mr..
Little has announced that he is not
a candidate for reelection to the
office of probate judge, which posi-
tion he has filed most aCCeptably
for the past four years. At the eX
piration of his term he will remove
to Clifton and open an office for the
practice of law, which he abandoned
on coming to Arizona some six years
ago. The Judge is everywhere recog
nized as an able lawyer, and will be
quite an addition to the brilliat array
of legal talent now represented by
the bar of this county.

The ERA is not very well versed in
democratic politics, but learns that
it has been intimated that the Hon.
Lamar Cobb may conclude to become
candidate for the office of super
visor instead of the lower house of
the legislature, which position it is
understood he could have for the
asking. In this event it is possible
that Judge John r. Hampton may
decide to yield to the persuasion of
his many friends and become a
candidate for the legislature. How
ever, he has not yet made up his
mind to become a candidate, but the
ERA will be surprised if his an
nouncement for that position does
not appear in the newspapers in a
week or two.

Henry Thompson, who for many
years was in charge of the supply
warehouse of the Arizona Copper
company, left last week on a visit
to his former home in Scotland. Mr..
Thompson has severed his connection
with the company, but does not ex-
pect to remain in the old country
very long. He will return, but may
not locate here. His many old time
friends wish him pleasant voyage,

! George B. Gamble, ex-tr easurer of
the county, and at the present time
a candidate for the office of sheriff,
visited Clifton this week, and for
once was too busy telling about fish
ing off Catalina, and dilating upon
in the cool waters at Long Beach,
to talk politics. While in California
he joined the Hassayampa Club in
Los Angeles, which is composed ex-
clusively of Arizonans. 1t is the
object of this club to bring together
the large number of ArizOnans who
are always in California, and also
to build ma gniicient home in Los
Angeles, which will be a credit to
| that city. He says at the first meet
ing in that city when the club was
formed, $1,000 was raised in fifteen
minutes, and by this time he thinks
the amount has been increased by
several ciphers. All Arizonans are
| eligible to membership and will meet
ION the level" whether they are
shareholders in the enterprise or not.
1t is likely that the home of the
club will cost several million dollars,
and will be a paying investment from
the start. Hon. c. NJ. Shannon of
Clifton has the honor of being the
first president of the club, who will
devote much of his time to the sue
cess of the enterprise. The name
of the club is most appropriate, and
will bring out strong competition
among the members in historical and
other reliable data in regard to pio-
neer days in the territory. The club
should have a motto and the Era
would suggest "Back to the Cacti"
as most appropriate. The cacti has
been celebrated in both song and
story and will appeal strongly to the
homing instinct of Arizonans while
temporarily sojurning in other lands.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Rosecrans

Keppler, who aspires for the demo
cratic endorsement of Metcalf pre-
cinct for the Office of constable.
Mr.. Keppler is an old time resident
of this district and for many years
has served as a deputy sheriff, and
has earned splendid record as an
officer. He is too we'll known to
need any further endorsement.

w. r. Wayland, chief of the A. c.
drug department and also president
of the Clifton base ball club, re-
turned Tuesday evening from an ex-
tended trip through Colorado, Mis-
souri, and other prominent states.
Mr.. Wayland has always been quite
enthusiastic over base ball and has
always taken much interest in the
sport locally, but it seems that his in
terest runs in different channels when
he gets away from home. An ERA re-
preventative interviewed him last
night in reference to his trip, thinking
that he had gained many new ideas for
his team, but instead of base ball it
was something of more serious ma
ture. He answered almost every ques-
ton by saying that there is only one
girl in Missouri, which would indicate
that the locals are going to be without
an enthusiastic president in the fu-
ture. However, the boys are all glad
to see him and are of the opinion
that there is yet some hope for him.

Archie Merrill, until recently
cashier of the A. c. store, who spent
a month down the valley, returned
this week to pack up his effects pre-
paratory to moving to Globe, where
he has accepted a responsible posi-
ton with the Black Warrior Mining
company of that place, which is now
a regular producer, and is fast be-
coming one of the important COM
panies of the territory. Archie says
Globe is about the best town he has
ever seen. He also reports that
there are large number of Clifton
people there, all of whom seem to be
on the high road to success. Mr..
Merrill's many friends in Graham
county, where he has resided many
years, regret his departure from the
county.

Frank Garrett and family, of Mo-

California, where they will probably
locate. Mr.. Garrett has been with
the D. c. company for many years,
during which time he held the re-

grocery department. He has long
been recognized as one of the best
men in the county, and his many
friends wish he and his family we'll
in their new home.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Young Son of PatriciO CarvaiaI Shot
Through the Body Thursday Last.

What may result in a most un-
fortunate occurrence happened in
camp Thursday morning about nine
O'Clock when Fernando Carvajal,
the youngest son of Patricia Carvajal.
was shot through the body by a
revolver in the hands of Nicolas
Olivas, at his home near the Frisco
tanks.
Oliyas in company with another
man had been endeavoring to re-
cover some money that had been
taken from him couple of nights
previously, and had traced it to
young Carvajal and a companion
named Perez. a hanger-on of the
camp. Perez gave over Olivas the
sum of eighteen dollars and also
handed him revolver that the two
boys had purchased in Clifton with
part of the money taken from Olivas,
when in some unaccountable manner
the gun was discharged and young
Carvajal was shot through the body.
DIR. A. NJ. Tuthill was Immediately
notified and operated on the wounded
boy at the D. G. hospital, where he
is now being taken care of.
His condition is considered very
serious although if no complications
arise the surgeon expects he may pull
through safely -MorenCi Leader.
