The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1908-10-01

Chase Creek voters are going to
support the candidate who declares
the location of the justice of the
peace office on Chase creek. AS
there are four candidates in the field,
two from Chase creek and two from
East Clifton, the fight in the con-
vention is going to be a lively one.
The matter is now in the hands of the
twenty-seven delegates who were
elected last Saturday. This delega-
ton is represented by citizens from
every section of Clifton, hence their
decision at Solomonville at the county
convention should meet with the ap-
proval of all.

The entertainment at the ope a
house last Saturday night, given un-
der the auspices of the local R.bekah
lodge for the benefit of the Odd Eel

success. The program was rendered
principally by members of the Morenci
lodges, although several of the Clifton
members took part in songs and reci-
tations.

Morris RIbenowitz, who was re-
ported quite sick last week, his mind
having been affected, was taken to
Solomonville Friday aud from there
he will more than likely be removed
to Phoenix. Mr.. RIbenowitz S
been citizen of Clifton many years
and has conducted the Bell store con-
stautly. Hehas wife and four small
children, who will remain here. He
is not very bad off and it is quite posi-
Die that he will recover as soon as he
gets rest from business. He has
worked and worried the past few
years, which no doubt is the cause of
his condition today.

CLIFTON has taken the cake in
furnishing candidates for the treas
urer's office. Just five aud any of
them will make a good officer. After
next Saturday only two of them will
be left for the final race. Guessing
on the democratic side is at high
pitch, and the candidates are all 80
popular that no Withdrawals are likely
to take place before the convention.

On Thursday of last week one of
the freights on the A. &. N. NJ. rail-
way met with a wreck in which six
loaded cars left the track, several of
them going into the dicth and others
remaining on the grade. The wreck
which occurred several miles below
Coronado, damaged the track badly
and it required twenty-fOur hours
hard work TO clear the way. In the
meantime transfers were made for
the regular passenger train, which
was on the other side fro Clifton
This is the first bad wreck that has
occurred on the road for some time
