Clifton and MOrsnci to Play Sunday.

Arrangements have been made for match game of base ball next Sunday between Clifton and Morenci on the local diamond. Clifton has been strengthened somewhat and will be in position to make the wis itors go some in order to take the victory. A new pitcher will be in trim for Clifton, being Dr. Smith, an old time professional pitcher who has an excellent record. He has been getting his arm in shape and will no doubt hand the visitors a few that they cannot handle. Other portions of the team have also been strength ened and Clifton will have the best lineup for the season. The fans should not miss this game as it will be the last one for couple of weeks. Moreuci is booked for Fl Paso two weeks hence.

First Automobile for Clifton.

The first automobile that will travel the roads between Clifton and Morenci arrived this week. It is owned by O. J. Cotey and w. s. Nun day and will be used for the accom- modation of the travelling public of Clifton and will make regular trips to Morenci. It is equipped with 45- h.p. gasoline engines and is guaran- teed to climb a 50 per cent. grade, and as there is no such grade be- tween Clifton and Morenci it will easily carry seven passengers to our sister camp. It was unloaded from the car and would now be in opera tion but for the fact that all tools and part of the machinery was stolen in transit, hence it will be stored until the new parts are re- ceived. They were wired tor and should be here in time to make the trial run next Sunday.
 Messrs. Cotey and Munday are very enthusiastic over the new machine and are confident that they can make the trip Letween Clifton and Mo- renci with perfect safety, although it may be necessary to clear some of the boulders from the Morenci can yon road. The only inconvenience will be the passing of other vehicles on the mountain roads, which in some places are rather narrow. It will be safe for the auto, but the horses may shy, as horseless machines are a new thing in this section. Should this machine prove success, there will be several more ordered in the near future.

Death of Mrs. L. 4. V. Burtch.

A shadow of gloom was cast over the many friends ot Mrs. L. A. w. Burtch when the news of her death. which took place in Los Angeles. last Monday morning, May 4th, reached Clifton. Shortly after the arrival of the telegram, the sad news had pass ed from friend to friend until it was soon known to all.
 Deceased resided in Clifton a num- Der of years and by her gentle dis position and acts of kindness she was loved by all who knew her. She was the picture of health when she ca me here. but continued illness during the past five years ebhed her life away until it was feared that her recovery was doubtful. She spent the great est portion of the past two years in California, where it was thought that the change would be beneficial, but her condition gradually grew worse until the end came. She spent a ter and appeared to be improved, but sudden change for the worse took place and MT. Burtch lost no time in taking her back to Cali fornia. Dr. Burtch left Clifton three weeks ago for California and was at her bedside when the Angel of death came to relieve her suffering. She leaves a bereaved husband and two children and other relatives to mourn her loss.
 By her death there has been re- moved from our midst a woman blessed with the sterling qualities of faithful wife, devoted mother and true friend. and her reward is ever lasting happiness in the realm of our Creator.
 To the bereaved husband and children the ERA joins their many friends in extending sympathies in this, their hour of deepest sorrow.
 The remains were prepared for shipment and taken to Morrison, H., the home of the family, where inter- ment will take place.

Body of a Spaniard Found After Laying
 Out About Week.

On last Sunday morning Mexican came to Clifton with reporr that he had discovered the body of a man laying near the railroad track just below the base ball grounds. Justice Smith and Constable Arzate were soon on the scene and a coroner's jury was at once summoned. The body was located in a little wash about twenty feet above the railroad track and was in such a mortified condition that it was difficult to identify the person. An investiga- tion was made, but no letters or papers were found. A few dollars were taken from his pockets. The body must have been exposed fully six days and it was a clear case of suicide. Deceased went down the railroad track and after climbing a short steep hill, pulled his coat off and laid down. There was an empty whisky bottle and an unsmoked cIgar laying by his side. A g Calibre Smith x Wesson pistol, which con tained one empty chamber, was found by his right hand and a bullet hole through his head told the story.
 Identity of deceased was not dis closed until the next day, when his roommate returned from Solomon vile and found a note and $40 in his room. Deceased naT-e was Luis Fer uandez, native of Spain, and in his letter stated that his sweetheart had gone back on him and he was tired of this life. He eft the money for fun eral expenses. The remains were re- moved to the cemetery the next day.

COAL FIELDS TO BE REACHED BY
UNION PACIFIC AND RIO
GRANDE.
SURVEYS BEING MADE
REPORT OF UNION PAclFic's CON-
NEcTIoN WITH MoFFAT
ROAD DENIED.

Denver-The Post Thursday after
noon says: Routt county will soon be
in full development as the greatest
coal producing area in this country.
not excepting Pennsylvania. Not only
will its coal be shipped via the Moffat
road to Denver and here distributed
South and West. but also the Union
Pacific has already begun work on n
branch from its main line on the Col
orado 4 Wyoming which will penetrate
the fields as far as Craig. making there
a junction with the Moffat road.
The Denver 4 Rio Grande has al
ready completed surveys into the
fields and will start building this fall.
With all three roads in competition
the development OF the fields will be
given the greatest impetus. When II Is
remembered that there are found veins
OF anthracite seventy feet in thickness
and the supply is practically bound
less. even greater than in Pennsylvan-
ia. something OF the boom its produc-
ton will mean to Colorado can be re-
allied.
Added to this Is the fact that Routt
county is also rich In nearly all OF the
baser minerals and Is the ideal agricul-
tural lands OF the state. The roads
built primarily for the coal supply will
not only furnish means for the devel-
opment of these other resources. but
the population necessary.
The Union Pacific filed the declara-
tion for its Routt county branch yes
terday. The new line will be 41.5
miles In length.
A report spread that the building OF
the branch finally confirmed the story
of the Union Pacific's connection with
the Moffat road Is strenuously denied
by the officials OF both roads. "Pri-
marily." said Union Pacific official.
I'VE need coal for the operation OF our
own road. and this would amply justi.
fy the new branch. but besides We will
also become the distributor Of Routt
county coal"
