Clifton 8, MOrenci 7.

The ball game last Sunday, which
resulted in another victory for
Clifton against Morenci, was one of
the poorest games of the season and
one which showed evidence of a pre-
vious sweet Saturday night. Morenci
played with a stiff upper lip until the
last halt of the seventh. the score
being 10 in their favor, but at this
particular instance their paddles
went up with the result that Clifton
punched three hits and Morenci
punched three errors. When the
smoke cleared away Clifton had
scored three runs, much to the de-
light of those who had staked a few
plunks on the result. Morenci was
let down with circle in the eighth
and Clifton led off with four success
sive singles, making four runs and
tieing the score: Roofing changed
and the Morenci fans, who kept up a
continuous roar during the first part
of the game, closed their trumpets
and begun to comment on the poor
playing of their favorites. Honors
were even at the beginning of the
ninth and MOrenCi was let down with
another blank. Clifton's chances
looked gloomy when both MARQUEE
and Dunn laid the stick at the plate.
With two out Quigley led off with a
single, which Riley followed with a
three-bagger and the game was over,
with the exception of the shouting.
LeBrandt, the new catcher for
Morenci, made good, and proved to
be one of the most active catchers
ever seen on the local diamond.
Oswald, Clifton's new catcher, played
equally as good, and demonstrated
the fact that he had been behind the
bat before. Billy O'Brien and Crit
tenden had an off day, which figured
principally in the result of the game
Ashley and Marquee were both
touched up pretty lively for hits
And in all both sides played ragged
ball.
Riley made a mistake by not run
ming out a pop fly, but redeemed
himself by getting a single, double
and d treble. The rest of the play
ers filled their positions with the ex-
ception of Quilting and Ellis, who
were not quite at themselves in play
ing their usual game. Quigley got
his eye back last Sunday and came
to the front with a walk and three
singles out of five times up.

Decoration Day was celebrated
Wednesday by red-hot ball game
between the old stand bys-Clifton
and Morenci-in which Morenci took
a back seat to the tune of 11-6. 1t
was regular smuggling match, in
which O'Brien was touched up for
an unusual high number of hits and
Crandall, Clifton's new twirler, came
in for the unlucky number of thir-
teen. Clifton started the game by
getting four runs in the first and
three in the second, to which they
added three in the sixth and one in
the eighth. Of this number seven
were earned. On the other hand
Morenci chalked up one in the sec
ond, three in the sixth and two in the
ninth, two of which were earned.
During some stages of the game
there was some very fast fielding per-
formed on both sides, the most phe-
nominal one being made by Daniels,
who scooped up what should have
been a safe hit and doubled to first.
Cramer, who played second for Mo-
renCi, made a very bad showing in
deed, and succeeded in making five
errors out of eight chances. Taking
the game as a whole, it seemed to be
enjoyed by the large crowd of specta-
tors, but there was never a time that
Morenci had even a lookin, hence the
result was foregone conclusion.
The following is the score:

Paul Rodriguez Drowned.

Paul Rodriguez, aged Is years, was
drowned while bathing in the Frisco
river yesterday afternoon, near Pat
terson's addition. 1t seems that Paul
got into d hole several yards long
and only a few feet wide, but not
being able to swim he became
excited, and called to his companions
for help. One of them went to his
assistance, but was grabbed by the
drowning boy, when he, too, became
excited, and breaking loose left Paul
to his fate, and he Immediately sank
for the last time. It was nearly two
hours before the body was recovered,
hence it was too late for recussita-
ton.
Deceased was a native of Clifton,
and was well and favorably known
throughout the town. He was boy
of good habits, and at the time of
his death was in the employ of the
telephone company. He leaves two
brothers, Manuel and Alberto, to
mourn his untimely end, who have
the sympathy of many friends in
their sorrow.

IT IS stated in the newspapers that
$1,000 Mexicans entered the United
States last year through the port OF
Ell Paso to seek employment on this
side of the line. Perhaps half that
number also came in through the
ports of Nogales and Douglas. Most
of these Mexicans are of the peor
class, and are brought over in droves
under contract to work for the rail.

are greatly needed. However, in
the future it will not be easy fol

Next Sunday will be a red letter
day in Clifton for base ball. The
crack team of Bisbee, composed of
the cream of Blsbee, Douglas and
Cananea, has accepted a challenge
to play Morenci in the morning and
Clifton in the afternoon. The morn
ing game will be called at 10 o'clock
and the afternoon game at o'clock.
1t is understood that the Bisbee boys
are counting on taking two scalps
back with them, but if they do they
are certainly welcome to them. The
only way that it can be done will be
by good stiff playing.
The manageme It of the club will
be placed under considerable ex-
pense to pull off these games. hence
the entire public will receive a hearty
greeting for their support. 1t will
be value received to those who APP
preciate the national game, as there
is no question but that these three
teams are the best in the southwest.
Come out and see the finish.

THE Douglas Dispatch is having
d phenomenal run of luck. Another
damage suit has been filed against
it by Mrs. Mollie Wellgehausen,
formerly of Clifton, for the modest
sum of $4,000 in gold coin, though
possibly she would be satisfied to
accept the amount in greenbacks,
or dobe dollars. Editor Dorr has
not yet paid over the money, as
he prefers to secure all the advertis.
ing possiblp out of the incident
before "pungling".

Now that unpatented producing
mines in Arizona are to be taxed,
there will no doubt be a rush to
patent claims all over the district.
Heretofore it was considered cheaper
to do the annual assessment work
than to pay the taxes, but now that
taxes will be materially reduced,
it will be as cheap to pay regular
tax, and it will also be much safer
for the owners of the property, as
it will do away with all probability
of litigation over boundary lines,
which is almost sure to occur when
property becomes valuable.

CANANEA, Sonora, has made the
most remarkable growth during the
past five years of any town in the
southwest. 1t now has population
of $4,000, with 5000 men on the
various pay rolls of the companies
operating there. 1t is now estimated
by conservative people that its popu-
lation will double during the next
five years. The state of Sonora is
being developed more rapidly than
any other part of Mexico.

Hon. w. T. Webb, speaker of the
house of representatives, spent a
few days in Clifton this week, ar
ranging for a market for the produce
of the valley. While here he made
the ERA pleasant call, and while
he stated that he was not a candi-
date for legislative honors this year
as he could not afford to take the
time from his business, the inference
was left that he would not refuse
the nomination for the council if
it were rendered him. However, he
is not a candidate, in the strict sense
of the term. Mr.. Webb is strongly
in favor of a reasonably high liquor
license law, which would close up
hundreds of dives in Arizona, and
at the sameItime give the territory
n handsome return from the retail
liquor dealers. If elected to the
legislature Mr.. Webb will use his
influence toward the passage of
such a bill, which would be of great
benefit to the tax payers, as much
of the crime, and a corresponding
expense to the tax payers, comes
from the dives where cheap and i'm
pure liquors are sold.

A DECISION of considerable local,
as well as general territorial import
ance, was rendered by Judge Nave at
Globe recently. A party who was
not considered reliable by the sheriff
applied for a retail license to sell
liquors. The sheriff refused to issue
the license and a suit was brought
in the district court to compel him
to do so. When the case was tried
the court ruled that the granting of
the license was optional with the
sheriff Under this decision the
sheriff can regulate the liquor traf
fic to suit himself. 1t gives the sher-
if a tremendous latitude in such
cases, which can be used for the
benefit of the community, or other
wise. Heretofore it has been too easy
d matter to secure a license to sell
booze, and as consequence the
business has passed largely into the
hands of irresponsible people, who
to the detriment of the tax payers
and the peace and quiet of the COM
munity. 1t is wise and proper that
there should be some restriction put
upon the granting of liquor licenses,
that the business may be controlled
not only to the benefit of the COM
munity, but also in the interest of
those. who are doing a legitimate
business, and conducting their places
in accordance with the law. In Cliff
ton there are doubtless forty places
where liquors are sold, and many of
them are the lowest kind of dives.
The ERA has always been in favor of
high license law, but our former
legislatures seem to have been afraid
to interfere with present arrange
ments, hence any man, no matter as
to his character, who could get credit
for a gallon of booze and box of
cigars could engage in the business at
any time he saw fit to do so.

Last Saturday forenoon Dan Gal
legher, foreman in the wastepit
above the Ryerson mine, was caught
by some falling rocks loosened by an
unusually heavy blast, and suffered a
badly broken leg. He was taken at
once to the D. c. hospital, where he
is getting along as well as could be
expected.
The appointment of John L. Keis-
ter to be postmaster at Morenci has
caused general satisfaction. He is
an energetic and capable young man
and during the time he has already
been in the office he has shown him
self fully competent to fill the posi-
ton.
The Clifton high school, after a
very successful term, closed Friday
last. Notwithstanding the many
difficulties under which the school
was conducted, the students acquitted
themselves with much credit. 1t is
expected that the high school will
have an enrolment of about thirty
when it again opens in September.
The school will certainly require d
better building and more con-
veniences tor demonstrating the
work. Clifton is not only in need of
more public school buildings but also
a high school building that would be
a credit to the town.

Kathleen Dunn Burned in Ell PasO by
Gasoline Explosion.

Friday morning last G. P. Dunn
was called to Ell Paso by a telegram
from his wife announcing that their
three-year-old daughter, Kathleen,
had been seriously burned by an ex-
plosion of gasoline.
The following account of the al
fair is from the FL Paso Herald:
DR.. Hugh Grouse, who was called in
to dress the wounds of little three
year-old Kathleen Dunn, burned in a
fire on Magoffin avenue Thursday of
last week, declared that the child 8
injuries, while very painful, are not
of serious nature. He said that
while small scars might be left as the
result of the burns, there is Il chance
that these marks will be scarcely
noticeable: 60
The fire occurred at 800 Magoffin
avenue at the residence of G. P.
Dunn, the druggist. Mrs. Dunn had
lighted the fire in the gasoline stove
and stepped out for few minutes
when the flames flashed out of the
stove and caught can nearby which
exploded. The child was in the
kitchen at the time and the flash
burned her face and hands. Strange
to say her clothing did not catch fire.
Mrs. Dunn rushed in and grabbed the
child while her mother-in-law grab
bed the can of burning gasoline and
threw it into the back yard.
The fire department made Quick
run and extinguished the flames.
The loss will be about $500. The fire
was confined to the kitchen but there
was water damage to the furniture.

room and also to most of Mrs. Dunn s
