tress, the housekeeper at the hotel.
Now. on the porch there was d-fashoned

from long tramp and. being rather tired,
walked mp to his mistress who at that time
sitting IN his chair. and begged and whined for
her TO get out so that he might get in. but she
did not move
Finding that this did not work. he to the
door and cried most pitifully to be let in and
Immediately his kindhearted mistress got up
and walked to the door but sooner had she
arrived there than Grant quickly turned around
and running back. jumped up into his much be-
loved chair We'll you can have the chair il
you really want is as much all that" said the
mistress, and after STOPPING TO pat the dog she

A STRANGE PATIENT.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: This is a
true story, for friend OF mine knew the lady
that had the squirrel I am about to write of.
The squirrel was very ugly to every one except
his mistress Every time any one would go
near his cage out would go his little paw, and
the person would discover a rent in his clothes.
One day the cage door was left open and he
escaped. He did not turn UP for about three

marks the tenth milestone of
pastoral relation between them
aud Msir pastor, Rev. N. N.
Gregg, with appropriate services
of Thanksgiving and praise to
God. This is as it should be,
for the faithful services of a we'll
prepared christian minister
among any people for ten years
can't be too highly appreciated nor
can the good accomplished be
fully estimated until we reach
the boundless shores of eternity.
The good work of a minister
is never confined to his own con.
gregation, and in view of this
fact the Ministers Union in ses-
sion at St. Paul A. M. E church
passed a resolution 10 the effect
that a popular meeting be held
appreciative of the lite of Rev.
N. N. Gregg, for the past ten
years. This meeting will be
conducted by the Ministers Un-

Right and Duty of Newspaper
to Publish the News.

The right to print the legiti-
mate news is function that is
as firmly fixed in a newspa per
as is the right of court of JUS
tice to try every citizen legally
charged with crime. 1t is a vest-
ed right. 1t is just as reason
able to task a newspaper to sup
press news, as it would be to
plead with court not to take
cognizance of an offense against
the law because the accused per-
son was influential or because of
the constituencies of his family.
More than that, itIis the duty of a
newspaper to publish all the
news that is fit to print. The
whole value of a newspaper is
constituted by the amount of in
formation it contains. Its whole
someness as public institution
is determined by its treatment of
the news it prints. The publish
er who on any other ground than
the duty to the public which he
serves, suppresses news is not
true to his mission and is un.
faithful to theinstitution which he
represents. A mans prominence,
his standing in the community
or any other purely personal rea-
son ought not to outweigh either
the right or the duty Of news.

Theft Superstitions.
Cures Effected and Good For

common incentive to theft is the
belief of DR.. Hellwig, of Berlin.
For instance, it is settled belief
among the women of Posen that
wound can be surely healed
by stealing piece of body linen
belonging to a woman, burning
it and rubbing the wound with
the ashes.
In Transylvania the remedy
prescribed for swelling of the
glands of the neck is to steal. a
piece of bacon and bind a slice
OF it over the swelling. This is
sovereign remedy for warts in
Schleswig aud Styria.
Stolen bread is a cure for ma
ny ills. 1t is the favorite appe
tizer in Russia and is so regard
ed also in Bosnia and Herzegovi-
ma.
The conviction is on record of
man in England for stealing
turnips to rub on his crippled son.
He was perfectly able to pay for
the turnips, but then the charm
would not have operated.

tenfold if the object be stolen.
Theft is also considered great
help in producing good crops or
the generous multiplication of
focks and herds. To save a fall

a little to mix with it when it is
ripe.

wool of a black sheep must be

The Bull Maverick Won.

jeff Dunagan returned last week
from Ell Paso, where he led the
famous "Bull Maverick race horse
to victory. He pulled off a match at
the Pass City between the Bull
Maverick and Orient, a celebrated
San Angelo racer, and succeeded in
winning the race in a walk. 1t is
said that Jeff's horse had to be pulled
in and then won the race by forty
feet. The match was for $3.50 side,
but jeff got away with an extra $3.50
with outsiders.
Jeff informed an ERA representa-
tive that he had closed another
match between his horse and another
San Angelo horse for $1,000 a side,
which will be pulled off at Globe on
April 18th. The Bull Maverick is
well known to the people of Arizona
and it is quite likely that the Globe
sports will play him for the winner.

Found Dead at Guthrie.

Word reached Clifton last Friday
evening announcing that the body of
d Mexican was found on the river
bank short distance below the rail-
road bridge at Guthrie. Justice Tom
Smith went down Saturday and after
summoning Il jury held an inquest.
An examination was made and a tax
receipt was found on the body, bear
ing the name of Francisco Busta-
mente.
Bustamente was seen on the rail-
road bridge in company with
Augustin and Alfredo Gonzales about
five days before the body was found.
1t is supposed that Bustamente fell
off the bridge and was drowned, hav-
ing foated a short distance below
the bridge. The body was badly de-
composed and the face was eaten
away.
Augustin and Alfredo could not be
located and there being no evidence
obtainable, the jury came to the con-
clusion that deceased came to his
death by accidental drowning.
Owing to the horrible condition of
the body, hole was dug and burial
took place on the bank of the ella
river.

GOLD BELr ADDS MORE PRoPERTY.

The Gold Belt Development and
Reduction company this week added
four new mining claims to its old
holdings, which now gives the COM
pany a total of 20 claims, making the
entire group a perfect square. Two
of the claims, the Joseph E. Johnson
and Merrimac, which are both first
class prospects, were purchased from
E. Depee and the other two, Gold
Belt Nos. and s, also good proper
ties, were purchased from John Mol
der. Development work has indi-
Gated that a good gold lead points to
the Johnson and Merrimac and it was
for this reason that the Gold Belt de-
sired to acquire the property. Ore
shipments will soon be coming in at
rapid rate as quite force of miners
are employed on the property. There
has recently been exhibited some
samples of gold rock from the Gold
Belt that would create much excite
ment in any camp except Clifton.

Red Men Entertainment.

The entertainment and ball given
by the Red Men of Clifton at the
opera house last Saturday night, was
attended by large number of Cliff
ton people. All who attended had a
pleasant evening and the members of
Hiawatha Tribe were highly COM
plimented upon the manner in (which
they entertained.
The programme started promptly
at 8 O'Clock by the rendition of a
violin solo by Messrs. Wacasa land
Bond, which was followed by a reci-
tation entitled "The Wooden Indian"
delivered by Major Latin in his
usual dramatic manner.
This was followed with music by
Messrs. Bond and son, and a red hot
stump speech by o. A. Risdon, which
created much laughter in the audi
ence.
L. r. Broyles rendered a rag time
on the banjo while Jimmy Moore, the
celebrated clog dancer, cut few of
his graceful figures, to the delight
and amusement of those present.
Then came an address by Hon.
Wiley E. Jones, past great sachem of
the Great Council of Arizona. His
remarks were confined to the "Red
Men" and the great principles of the
order and in all he outlined the many
objects of the order. His remarks

THE cuPR1rE COMPANY.

L. B. Kaufman, of Columbus,
Ohio, S. S. Jones, of Chicago, and F.
A. Ray, of Columbus, all heavy stock
holders in the Cuprite Copper COM
pany, visited Clifton this week.
Superintendent Alsdorf, who has re-
Gently located at Globe, came over
and accompanied them to the mines
The Cuprite company has been in
operation several years, during which
time considerable development work
has been done, which required con-
siderable money. The mines are
located in the famous copper zone of
the Clifton-Morenci district and there
is every reason to believe that good
results will be obtained, as it is al
most impossible to mine in that sec
ton without striking ore. Consider
able good ore has been taken out in
development work, some of which has
been shipped realizing good returns.
THE CHASE CREEK COMPANY.
S. S. Campbell, of Boston, Mass,
and E. M. McNary, of Pittsburg,
Penn, arrived in Clifton last week
to transact business connected with
the Chase Creek Copper company.
Mr.. Campbell is well known in this
section, having made numerous trips
to this district, and is man
ager of the company. Mr.. McNary
is capitalist. of Pittsburg and is one
of the heaviest stockholders in the
company.
They were met at Clifton by I. N.
Stevens, superintendent of the COM
pany, who took them to the mines in
the Metcalt district, where they
spent couple of days and both gen
tlemen expressed themselves highly
delighted with the magnificent show
ing.
During the past few years consider
able money has been expended on de-
velopment work under the direction
of superintendent Stevens and it
now seems that the property is des-
tined to be winner. The property
is being developed by long tunnel
which gains depth at a rapid rate as
the tunnel advances. Recent indica-
tions nave been quite favorable and
a good body of ore is expected to
come in at any time. The workings
have now gained a depth of 800 feet,
where quite a good deal of native
copper has been encountered. 1t
comes in a tale seam and is the
prettiest looking sample exhibited
IN this camp for some time. The
property is looking so well that &C
tive development work will be con-
tinued and it is quite likely that the
next time Messrs. Campbell and Nc
Nary visit the property they will
have the pleasure of viewing one of
the largest bodies of copper ore in the
district. They left for their homes
Tuesday.
