George Reitzer visited Stafford this
week to represent the local Odd Eel
lows lodge in the interest of the Mt W
home which is to lie decided upon at
the next session of the grand lodge.
A number of the delegates from Cliff
ton are in favor of Duncan and Mr.
Reitzer was sent to Stafford to thor
oughly investigate the site offered at
that place. He was shown over the
Artesian belt and in tact the whole
valley and the citizens of that place
guarantee most desirable site in the
town of Safford-if the artesian belt
is not satisfactory. George came
home well pleased and learned that
the delegates from Globe and Stafford
would put up strong fight for SAT-
ford. As there will be many PROPOSE
tions offered at the grand lodge, the
location of the new home is d ques-
tiOn that cannot well be predicted.
The delegates from this section
should get together on either Duncan
or Stafford and at least secure the new
home for Graham county. Mr.. Reitz-
er was entertained by the citizens and
lodge members of Stafford who are
very enthusiastic in their financial
support towards the Odd Fellows
home.

Farrer's Tailor Shop Held 10 Aeain.

On Tuesday evening of this week
some unknown petty larceny CRATER.
broke into NJ. P. Fdrrer's tailor shop
and stole nearly all the clothing n
the place, amounting to approx
mately 800. A similar occurance
took place in the same shop just one
year ago on the same day and date
Unfortunately for Mr.. Farrer he had
just received and completed a num-
Der of new suits for the spring trade
and the scoundrels helped themselves
to everything that was good. They
even selected goods from among the
uncleaned garments that had been
taken in during the day. They seem
ed to have special desire for
women's clothing as they took every
thing in that lne-clea ned and un-
cleaned. MIR. Farrer offers d reward
of 500 for the return of the goods
and no questions will be asked and
will also give the same amount for
the arrest and conviction of
the parties who stole them. SO far
no arrests have been made. This is
the fourth deed of this nature COM
United during the past month, and
they are getting to be ''old cherries"
The officers should search every
place in town and perhaps some least
expected party will be discovered.
Jose Arminta, a Mexican working
near the skip where jimmy Hogan

cured a rig and drove to friends
house where be purchased a type
writer, a rifle and photograph for
which he paid $50. When he got
ready to make the payment he pulled
a roll of $50 gold notes from his
pocket. The Mexican to whom he
paid the money notified Jimmy and
and Arminta was arrested. When |
searched he had $3.50 in $40 gold |
notes and an extra S. note, which is |
pretty strong evidence against him,
AS the money which Jimmy lost was
IN $40 gold notes. The Mexican pleaded |
not guilty in his trial before Justice |
Smith and he was bound over to the |
grand Jury in the sum of $500. So far |
just half of the money has been &C
for and it is thought that |
Armiuta divided the money with an
other party. Other arrests will prob
ably follow.
