through. Forest rangers are usually
equipped with med cal supplies for
just such accidents and after doctor
ing and taking him to a ranch, doc
tor was summoned from Morenci. MIR.
Rudd is reported to be getting along
nicely.
The first report that reached Cliff
ton was to the effect that Rudd had
been shot through the stomach, hence
his many friends will be glad to learn
that his wound, though painful, is not
dangerous.
J. P. Parker, who has been eur
ployed with several of the leading
stores of Clifton the past few years,
is now representing a California per-
fume company.
1t is frequently remarked that the
only eye-sores remaining in North
Clifton are several company dwell
| ings which were damaged by floods.
They ought to be destroyed or re-
paired. They DO not add very much
to the appearance of that part of
town.
In this issue appears the announce
ment of w. r. Wayland as a candi-
date for treasurer on the democratic
ticket. Mr. Wayland has been
resident OF Clifton number of years
and at present is the head of the A.
G. drug department. He is a pop
ular young man and if his party hon.
ors him with the nomination he will
make good race, as he is well ac-
quainted all over the county.
The Morenci gun club, with a men,
bership of twenty, has erected
comfortable building and shotgun
rang: a short distance below the
town. Some of the members are
making good averages and one of
them went thirtv-fve straight.
After developing a few more of the
thirty-fve class, Morenci will issue
challenges to the two clubs of Cliff
ton.
There will be an entertainment on
Saturday evening, Septic mber 20,
given under the auspices of Evening
Star Rebekah lodge of Clifton for
the benefit of the Odd Fellows home
in Stafford. The program will be
rendered by members of the Morenci
lodge, who gave two entertainments
at Morenci recently. The first en-
tertainment was 50 good that they
were requested to repeat it. Both
were financial successes.
DIR. l.. A. w. Burtch this week re-
ceived the sad news informing him of
the sudden death of his father, which
occurred Monday last in Morrison,
III. Mr.. Burtch was one of those
grand old men who made friends
wherever he went and it was during
trip here several years ago that he
endeared himself to many Clifton
people. He had been sick only a
short time and was on the road to
recovery, when a sudden change took
place and the end came. AS the
message was delayed DIR. BurtCh
could not reach his old home In time
Tuesday.
The name of H. c. Day appears in
this issue as a candidate for the
nomination of supervisor on the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Day has
been resident of Duncan since the
early days and is one of the old land
marks in the county, having served
Graham county two successful terms
IL, ha
His record in office was a credit to
him. He is thorough business man
and at present is president of the
Bank of Duncan. 1t seems to be the
consensus of opinion among the
democrats that Duncan is entitled to
d supervisor and as MIR. Day is a good
man and the only aspirant from that
place his chances for the nomination
are good.
A. A. Anderson, sheriff of Graham
county, spent couple of days of
last week in Clifton on business.
Mr.. Anderson is a candidate for re-
election on the republican ticket.
"Pap" has been a good sheriff and
has made an excellent record in the
discharge of his duties. He is both
a pleasant and fearless officer and
has a way of accomplishing his pur-
pose without making much fuss
about it. Should he get the nomina
tion, which is almost a foregone con-
clusion, he will make a good race, as
his friends number well among demo
Gratis, as well as republicans and Duh
ers. As this is his second term there
Will be no objection to him on the
ground of holding Office too long.
