Specials TO The Evening Citizen
Prescott, Ariz., April AT mid
night last night, amidst weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth, there
were celebrated the most imposing
and most largely attended funeral
ceremonies ever known In this terri
tory.
Mr.. Green Cloth Tiger having
died. his remains at the solemn hour
of midnight were consigned to their
final resting place, to be gathered
thence no more forever For many
years Mr. Tiger had been one of the
foremost citizens of Arizona, of much
wealth and political power, standing
high In the estimation of many of
the citizens of the territory and an
object of great interest to visitors
from the states. His liberality had
been large, especially to the cause of
education, to which he had ever been
willing contributor. 1t was, there
fore, appropriate that on the death
of SO distinguished a citizen, his OBJ
sequies should be elaborately cele-
brated, not only in this city, but In
every place of any importance in the
territory.
In this city the funeral was espec-
tally in charge of Mr.. Soda to Hook,
with Mr.. Double owe a chief mar
shal assisted by Messrs. Black, Green
and Red. DIR. Faro Craps delivered
the chief eulogy, which In many
parts was so eloquent and pathetic
that 1t brought tears to the eyes OF
the sad and sympathetic friends of
the deceased, who had so long lived
upon his liberality. The two chief
mournerS were Mr.. Never Pay Debts
and Constable Garnishee, while the
funeral dirge was elegatly rendered
by a large band of tin horns.
The retinue of servants, whom the
deceased had kept in his employ, dis
persed at the grave, and 1t Is thought
that while most of them win seek
greener fields and pastures new, a
few of them may seek positions III
some 81 the legitimate and useful oc-
cupations OF ordinary life and busi-
ness.
Mr. Tiger had some enemies to
whom his death brings qualification.
Among them may be mentioned Rev.
Good Man and Messrs. Liquor Dealer
and Brewer. Mr. Good Man always
contended that Mr.. Tiger, because of
the peculiar methods of his business
affairs, was a constant menace to the
morals of the community, and
Messrs. Liquor Dealer and Brewer al
ways said that Tiger was both dis
grace and a menace to legitimate in
terests.
At all events, he is gone. and we
shall never look upon his like again.
Arizona Gamblers Take Sneak.
Phoenix, Ariz., April Like q
voice from Tombstone o rthe pitiful
pleading of the famous military
shade of much maligued Yuma, beg
ging for blankets. is the despairing
wall that is going up from Arizona
gamblers today, owing to the en-
forcement of the new territorial law
against gambling. Authorities state
that the law will be strictly enforced
and no games of any kind will be
allowed to run within the confines OF
the territory. Gambling was ended
In this city two months ago by the
operation of municipal ordinance

measure has the support of a large
part of the citizens of the territory

bones
