The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-03-14

THERE was a lively meeting on
Chase creek last week at which a
number of the Clifton people were
present and from all accounts there
were many demonstrations bearing
upon the Moyer-Haywood case. 1t
was indeed a rather warm one, which
perhaps did the cause no good.
Whenever the government of the
United States is abused there are
many who care not to participate.
Shot gun resolutions don't appeal
readily to the sympathies of the
American people. The interest
taken in the matter by several of
Clifton's citizens was surprising.
This is a free country and every man
is entitled to his opinion, but it is
unfortunate that outsiders should be
allowed to dictate to the working
man and cause him to do something
that he will be sorry for later OH.
If the people of Clifton have d
grievance they don't need the assist
ance of anybody from the outside.
Little does the outsider care about
the welfare of those who may suffer
from the effects of his agitation. 1t
is hoped that the workingmen of
Clifton will get together and paddle
their canoe without the assistance of
people who perhaps never done a
harder days work than sick the
laborer onto the capitalist.

Went Up in Flames.

A girl on Chase creek known as
Lupe went up in flames late Saturday
night and but for the quick assist
ance of several companions would
have burned to death. 1t seems that
she was dressed in fine silk, which
she had cleaned with gasoline a short
time before. Later in the evening
she stepped on a match, her clothes
caught fire and she was enveloped in
flames, which it is said blazed almost
to the ceiling. She was badly burned
before the fire was extinguishe6. At
last reports she was getting better
and will recover.

all pulmonary diseases. Mrs. j.

Base Ball Meeting.


welfare of base ball in Clifton should
attend the meeting at Library hall
this evening. The situation will be
thoroughly discussed and a board of
new officers elected.
Without good, fast ball team
Clifton will be very lonesome this
summer for those who do not take a
trip. There is any amount of good
material in our midst. 1t may not
be of d PROFESSIONAL variety but it is
good enough to swipe up anything in
Arizona. Don't fail to attend.
Shall we or shall we not have base
ball? Frisco had her earthquake,
Clifton had her "Frisco'-not once
but several times. Last:spring, after
the first rampage of the Frisco ove-
the new bail park, all the corpora
tions, business houses and citizens
gladly contributed to the cost of re-
pairing the damage done.
The city of Frisco recently cele-
brated the "big cleaning up day. all
citizens contributing their help.
Bearing in mind the old saying "The
Better the Day the Better the Deed"
and the 18th OF Ireland being Sunday
next it is proposed that all good fans
retire early Saturday night and then
put in an early appearance at the
ruined ball park Sunday 1880 a. m.
"a oil
necessary articles have been gener-
ously supplied, all that is needed to
do in one-half day what was done by
hundreds of dollars last year, is your

shovels has been provided in case the
bearings run hot.) When the noon
hour will have arrived a fine ball
ground will be in evidence to say
nothing of an inclination by all in
terested parties to put that Sunday
dinner to the bad. After having en-

fortunate in this respect, and find

ladies of Clifton enjoy going to the
games, especially if the right man
asks them.
Morenci has a good team. The old
favorites, Mcclellan, O'Brien and
Ashley, are still with the Hill City
aggregation. Clifton has an I'M
usually large bunch of good material
and Jesus Marquee will pitch what
may possibly be his last game for
Clifton, as he is under contract to
the Pueblo, Colo, team and is ex
pecting word any day to report for
the season.
Remember all we loyal fans first
the grounds and then the games.
With the necessary help we will have
a good ball ground in time for the
first game of the season next Sunday
at 2:30 p. N. Morenci VS.. Clifton.

The Clifton Bakery wagon made a
quick trip one day last week. When
Mr.. Gray was driving the team out of
the lot preparatory to making de-
livery, the check line caught and the
horses were unmanageabIe. They
became frightened and started to
run. The wagon is an enclosed con-
traction, and Ernest decided that it
was time to move. He made an eff
fort to get out and succeeded just as
the wagon turned over. He was I'M
hurt but the wagon was slightly dis
figured. The team was left standing
in front of the Shannon store last
Monday and ran away again, but
was caught by Mexican after rum
ming about a hundred yards.
The North Clifton street lights will
be put into commission again
Friday night. This will be a great
convenience to the people of that
section, as they have been in dark
ness some time. South Clifton has
also been in the dark and something
should be done to have the current
turned on. 1t is reported that suffi-
cient funds were not raised to pay
for all of the lights. If this is COR
rect it seems that the lights could be
turned on long enough to exhaust the
money raised at least. There are
several bad places in the neighbor-
hood of the railroad yards and
d few lights would make it safe for
people who are compelled to pass in
the dark.

hay BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE
J. J. Schneider's Big Concern
Rnrned-Ennr Horses Persisted.

j. j. Scnne10erB Dig OOnCeIna
Burned-Four Horses Persisted.
About $50 Sunday morning the big
hay barn Of j. J. Schneider on Buck
eve burned to the ground. Init were
1850 tons Of baled hay, some imple-
ments and four horses. A buggy and
harness were all that could be taken
from the building after the flames
were discovered. Loss $1,000; insur-
ance $4,000.
The barn was large frame struc-
ture covered with iron.
The cause Of the fire is unknown.
The barn was unlocked and when fire
was discovered by VIM. Badger the
hay was burning. The electric light
wires were far from the center Of the
flames and it is possible that an in
cendiary was responsible. The horses
were overcome when the fire was dis
covered and could not be saved. The
southside hose company was first on
the ground and the others soon fol-
lowed. Their good work together
with recent rains prevented spread Of
the flames.
The fire was a spectacular one, the
hay blazing with terrific effect and
the flames leaping high in air, light
ing up the whole city.
The loss is a hard one for Mr..
Schneider who has worked to build up
permanent business in this line.
He has already ordered hay shipped
in to care for the needs Of his Gus
toners and will see that they do not
suffer from the destruction Of his barn
and contents.

AZ to Chess.

Chess is Of great antiquity, and It's
origin is lost in obscurity Though
nearly every nation under the sun
claims the invention Of the pastime, 1t
is undoubtedly Of oriental origin. The
Romans placed over the door Of the
Temple Of Janus: "Ex 0riente Lux ct
Ludus Scacchorum" ("out Of the East
came light and the game Of chess.")
Chess was called by the Hindus
~cheturanga," the four angas-that is,
the four members Of the army-ele-
plants, horses, chariots and foot-sol-
dlers. The Chinese played chess 5000
years ago, and called 1t the game Of
war" And to-day we have "krieg.
SPIEL" the modern game Of war.
