The LOrdSbIr5 Jail Affair.

On another page of this issue ap-
 pears an article taken from the Lordsburg Liberal, in which is given an account of the burning of the jail at that place, resulting in the death ot two young men, who upon the ad- vice of Southern Pacific yard watchman, who does not know the
 first letter of the law, were branded as thieves, robbers and boboes, al
 though the only evidence against them was that a dozen lemons had been taken from a hole in a freight car and unfortunately for the boys, they were in possession of a few lemons. This crime seemed to be a great one in the eyes of that watch man and officer, as he not only ar rested the boys but shackled them in the wood jafl at Lordsburg, which later caught fire and they were burned to death. Though there are several officers in Lordsbutg, which is not such beastly large city, no aid was given these two young men until it was too late, and when the jail door was opeued they were both dead.
 As far as this affair went these boys received a very poor deal, but when the chief magistrate failed to hold even as much as an inquest over the remains the climax was capped. Without learning. their names, or from whence they came, they were packed double in a homemade pine box and buried in a manner that would beft a dog. Various reports have been circulated about these two young men as to their identity, but up to this date nothing definite has been learned. Thos. Simpson, of Clifton, becoming interested in the case, having a relative whose resi- dence is unknown to him, took it up on himself to make the trip to Lords burg and dig up the remains of the two unfortunates. He found the place whey had been buried and after taking up the coffin he examined the remains as best he could, satisfying himself that neither of the boys were related to him. Another man named Keith, who is reported to have positively identified one of the boys as his son, which notice appeared in the sensational Examiner, was also present, but came to the conclusion that it was not his son. MT. Simp- son reports that he made every poss ible examination, though the bodies were badly burned and in poor condi- tion for identification. He reports that both appeared to be rather well dressed, and he took pieces of their clothing. No letters or papers could be found in their clothes aud one of them had no shoes on. Mir. Simpson has a good description of both of them. which may prove valuable to relatives who may in the future at- tempt to locate them. This is one of the most deplorable affairs that has occurred in the territory of New Mexico, and judging from the public feeling that's growing o some body is going to have whole lot of trouble over it.

A NEW 1000 ACRE FARM.
A Clifton Man and Others Spending
 $40,000 on Ditche'.

w. A. Pitt, who has been absent the past six months looking after business interests in the lower valley, especially around the farming con- munity of Eden, returned home Tues day evening for a short visit. Since his absence he has become heavily interested in one of the biggest farm ing propositions in Graham county, in which is associated with him Milt Lines and a number of other citizens of the county. For years a valuable piece of ground, constituting 1000 acres or more, across the river from Eden, has laid idle lacking the enter prise that it required to build a system of d'tches costing in the neighborhood of s5O,O0O.
 When MT. Pitt sold his farm in the Duncan country he took trip to the Eden country and at once saw the opportunity of developing one of the finest farms in the lower valley. He soon got others interested in the proposition and by taking a heavy financial interest in it himself soon had the proposition on it's feet, with the result that a large number ot teams are now busily engaged in building the great ditch from which will be irrigated not less than 1000 acres of land. The ditch will be twenty-eight miles long, passing through some portions of a rough country, and will cost not less than $40, 1000 when completed. This work has been going on for the past six months and water will be running through the ditch in time for the owners of the project to plant crops for harvest next year. It is reported by residents of that section that the new proposition will throw into cul- tivation some of the best land in Graham county.

Clifton Lodge Members Receive tOnOrs'

At the grand lodge session of the Knights of Pythias and the Pythian Sisters Temple, held at Phoenix this week, two of Clifton's lodge workers were honored by being elected as grand lodge officers. Mrs. Lula Y. Terrell, who for several years has been an active member of the local temple, was elected grand manager, and Dr. L. A. w. Burtch, a member of Clifton Lodge No. IT, K. of F., and who has been a member of the Ari- zona grand lodge a number of years, was elected grand prelate, being two chairs from the top. In the report received by the ERA it was stated that this session of the grand lodge was one of the shortest in the history of the order, though more business was transacted than at several other sessions, due to the business like man. agement on the part of Grand Chan cellor Merrill. The membership of the order showed a great gain during the past year and it is thought that from now on rapid gains will be con- tinued, due to the fact that prac- tically every lodge in the territory is represented by live wires.
