One Knew What Is Was.

II must have been n very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny. and the young
lady who was reading It doubled up
In fits OF stifled laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
OF sight, andt soon he began to laugh
as he unblushlngly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman In the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man In the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetlcally. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
Of Mysteries, when the faIr reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

Trouble on the Shannon Hill.

Several days before the Fourth of
July, one of the Shannon mechanics,
who always takes an active part in
the celebration of the nations birth
day, decided that the hill should be
in possession of cannon. He went to
work on it and put in two days and
nights hard work, completing it on
the evening of the second. 1t was
rumored that7the Fourth of July COM
mittee of Clifton intended to steal it
so.the;owner of the cannon took partic-
ular pains to place it under lock and
key. On the morning of the third the
mechanic undertook to show his gun
to d friend and when he arrived at
the locker, he discovered that the
lock had been broken and the gun
was gone.
There was something doing for d
while. John Patty and several other
officers were summoned to the hill
and a search warrant was issued for
every house on the hill. Later in the
day it was reported that the cannon
had been seen in G. F. Nolan's back
yard, but upon investigation this ru-
NOR proved false and Mr.. Nolan was
saved the embarrassment of spending
the fourth behind the bars. The
search was then continued and every
house on Shannon hill was visited
except the one in which the mechanic
lived. The posse was about to move
back to Clifton, when one of the Of
ficers suggested that the last house
he searched.
To their surprise the cannon was
found under the mechanics bed. 1t
was wrapped in bed clothing. No.
body knew how the gun got under
the bed, but it was decided that the
mechanic got up in his sleep and
stole it himself.

Shannon Store in New Quarters.

Store Manager Kane, of the Shan
non Copper company, has been busy
this week with his force moving into
the new addition and placing goods
on the shelves The store is now
double the size of the old quarters
and the two large rooms are con-
nected with an arch, with a large
office fenced off in the middle, located
in the back end of the building. Ill
fixtures in the store are hard oak
with numerous glass show cases and
various other glass fixtures.
In the old part of the building will
be located the grocery, hardware
and drug departments. The hard
ware and grocery lines have been in
creased to some extent, while the
drug department, which will be I'M
der the management of J. L. Jacob
son, is an entirely new feature in the
store. All lines in this part of the
building are of the highest standard
and the drug department is one of
the best that can be found in this sec
ton.
In the new part of the building will
be found the dry goods, notions,
gents furnishings and furniture de-
partments, which will also rank with
the other section of the building.
The store is not yet Strengthened out
but it preseets a pleasing sight.
When completed 1t will be the neat
est in this section of the country.
The basement will be used as a
storage room and is amply large TO
accommodate the large stock which
the company carries.
The business of this establishment
has doubled several times since it
was opened and although the pres
emit building is of good size, still it is
small for the business.
The drug department will be COM
pleted by next week, when an an
nouncement will appear in the
columns of this paper.

Death of Mrs. ". T. Richards.

a gloom was cast over Clifton
Wednesday of last week when the
news reached Clifton that Mrs. w.
7. Richards had passed away at the
home of her sister, Mrs. w. A. Will
son, at Solomonville. Mrs. Richards
was quite sick at her home in Clifton
a couple of weeks ago and no hope
was entertained for her recovery for
a number of days, but she rallied
and recovered sufficiently to be
removed to the home of her sister
at Solomonville, where death re-
lieved her sufferings and ended the
career of noble and gentle hearted
woman. Her life had. been full of
trials known only to herself and some
of her most intimate friends in
Clifton.
By her death five children are left
motherless, one of them being a babe
of but two months. Her mother,
Mrs. w. A. Place, who resides in
Mexico, was present when death
came, and did everything that a
mother could to relieve her sufferings.
The ERA joins the many friends of
the family in extending sympathy to
the motherless children who have lost
their protector and are practically
without supporter.
The funeral occurred at Solomon
vile last Thursday and was conducted
by Rev. Hawley, the Presbyterian
minister of Stafford.

Clifton People Patronize Duncan on the
Fourth.

AS result of the cordial invita-
tion extended by the Duncan people
to the people of the mining section,
one hundred and seventy-three
passengers boarded the morning train
Thursday of last week and joined in
the glorious celebration of the Fourth
of July. The passenger train was
loaded to its full capacity at Clifton
and from Guthrie on there was
hardly standing room. The cele-
bration consisted of an excel
lent literary program in the morn
ing and at noon the barbecue took
place, and those who attended from
Clifton state that it was the best
barbecued meat they ever ate.
Music was furnished by a good
orchestra and the spacious Hobbs hall
was converted into d dance hall the
entire day and night. To satisfy the
desires of those interested in more
excitable amusement, horse races,
foot races, games, baseball and num-
erous other things were INDUCED in.
Many of the Clifton people attended
the valley celebration for the purpose
of taking advantage of the shade
trees, which they enjoyed to the full
est extent.
All of the Clifton visitors were d
unit in speaking of the treatment
extended by the valley people and
report one of the most pleasant days
ever spent in Arizona. <--
Not single disturbance took place
during the celebration, and there
was no use for the marshal of the
day. An extra train left Clifton at
6 o'clock Thursday evening to bring
back those who remained for the
grand ball.
1t was one of the most successful
celebrations ever pulled off in Ora
ham county,
