THE DOUGLAS EXCURSION.
Grand Celebration on July F'urth-..
Clifton and MOrenci to Play
Ball There.

Tomorrow evening is the date for
the big excursion to leave Clifton for
Douglas. A rate of one fare for the
round trip has been made by the A.
& N. NJ. railway and the schedule has
been arranged to that those who
want to visit the smelter city can do
SO without losing any time. The
train leaves early Friday evening
and returns early Monday morning
in time to go so work. Tourist and
standard sleepers will be run on the
excursion and the train will consist
of about SIX coaches. So far very
few reservations have been made,
but it is expected that Clifton and
Morenci will furnish a large number
of passengers. Douglas will Gle
brate the Fourth in grand style.
There will be every branch of amuse-
ment that can be imagined. Bull
fights, drilling contests, foot racing,
horse racing, base ball between the
leading teams of the territory.
One of the leading features of the
celebration will be the ball game be-
tween Clifton and Morenci which are
beyond doubt the best aggregatiOns
in the territory. This game will at
tract the attention of people from
every section of Arizona and the
boys will certainly advertise the
Clifton-Morenci mining district.
This is the first opportunity people
in this section have had to visit
Douglas without losing any time and
they should take advantage of it if
they want to have a good time. As
a convenience to the public, the A.
& N. NJ. has arranged to sell tickets
and berths any time before the date
of the excursion. Those who are 60
ing will save confusion pnd. trouble by
securing their tickets at once.

The Arizona and Blinn lumber
yards very generously donated sutfi-
cient lumber to the baseball club to
erect two wings on the local diamond,
which is a great help to the club in
gate receipts. The carpenters union
also took an interest in the club and
donated the work which was required
to build the fence. Hence the Climb
got a new fence without the expendi-
ture of much money.

Nit Simms came up from Solomon
vile last week to witness the cham
pionship ball games. Both Luther
and Nit are old time base ball en-
thusiasts and they never miss an OPP

The FABLE Smoker.

Last Tuesday night the Fraternal
Order of Eagles Clifton Aerie No.
1890 gathered at the Casino hall to
participate in a smoker, to which a
large number of guests were INVITED.
Master of Ceremonies J. w. Lancas-
ter started the ball rolling shortly
after o'clock with a finely rendered
piece by Brittingham's orchestra,
after which Major Latin delivered
the welcoming address in few words
that expressed much for the Eagles
and did Justice to those present.
The hall was beautifully decorated.
Dainty refreshments were served,
and those who attended will long re-
member it as one of the most pleas
ant evenings they ever spent in a
lodge room. The program was an
Ella borate one and we dare say there
is no town in the southwest that
could equal the talent shown. The

Death of John D. Parks, Sr.

The hearts of many old time resi-
dents of Graham county were touch
ed with sorrow last Monday when
the news of the death OF John D.
Parks, ST.. was passed from neigh
Dor to neighbOr and from town to
town. His death occurred at the
family residence at Solomonville and
at the time of his death he was sur
rounded by a large number of his
relatives. Deceased was one of the
early settlers of Arizona and lived
in New Mexico in early days. He has
always been a leading citizen of Gra-
ham county since his residence here,
which has been many, years, and wit
n e,sed exciting incidents in this
c junty when he joined the noble
band of men who taught the Indians
and established homes in Arizona.
BY his death there has been removed
a noble character, whose memory
will remain in the hearts of those
who knew him well. The ERA eX-
tends sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.
