Out of Place A6ain.

The Morenci Leader last week preached an obituary sermon on be- half of the Clifton ball team, and all on account of Morenci's two victo- ries. But the game last Sunday, in which the same players participated on the Clifton side, demonstrated that the Leader went off half cooked again and will have to acknowledge that even the "dead ones" can de- feat the hill city boys. Mana ger Riley called his sons together before the last game, and after passing his magic hand over their heads, they were all resurrected from the dead to such an extent that Morenci was clearly outplayed both on the field and at the bat. Our Leader friend should remember that two games at the first of the season does not signify anything in baseball and just for safe keeping Manager Riley will add Rigby, Sullivan and Scanlon, who each can pitch a little, and from now on the Clifton team will do little pall-bearing work themselves; and if the editor of the Leader comes around they will take charge of his corpse too.
 The Clifton team is playing it's old tactics of starting slow and by the time the next game is played her foundation will be so firm that it will take something better than the pres ent Morenci team to move it.

The Arizona Copper com oany has recently distributed hose reels and hose in various portions of Clifton. The advantage of this new addition was demonstrated early yesterday morning when the residence of Nor man Carmichael caught fire in the flue. As soon as the fire was discOv- cred several men connected the hose and extinguished the blaze within four minutes after it started. By this time the company fire brigade was on the scene, ready to fight the fire, had it been more serious.

An Interesting Suit.

FOR some time the citizens Of
Ceredo district (ou,side the Inde-
pendent district) have been in a
state Of turmoil and strife occa sion i.
ed by the Board of Education
erecting a high school building at
Dunleith and doing away or aban-
doning all the other schools of the
district, thereby compelling all the
school children of the district TO
attend the school at Dunleith. The
board, however, hired teams and
proposed to take all children to
and from school who lived more
than two miles from the new build
ing. To this arrangement many of
the citizens of the district object
ed and refused to send their child
rem to the Dunleith school. After
having notified the parents SO re-
fusing to send their children to
school Truant Officer Malcolm
swore out warrants and arrested
them, there being ten persons VINO
appeared Tor trial at Ceredo last
Wednesday morning before JUS
tices A. @. Brown aud III. F.
Bowen.
The first case that was called
was that of Oscar Darling. Mr.
Darling was placed on the witness
stand and swore his son was more
than Is years of age and that &C.
cording to law he was not required
to send him to school. There be-
Ing no other witnesses he was &C
quilted.
The next case called was that OF
Dewitt Perdue. A test case wa.
made of this. Judge w. w. Mar
cum, attorney for Mr.. Perdue, con.
tended that the Board acted withou,
authority of law in abandoning the
schools in the sub-districts, withou,
first securing petition signed by a,
least rs per cent of the legal voters
of the said sub. districts. 1t was no,
proven that this had been done and
after having heard the evidence and
listened to the Arguments by coun
sci, the court decided that the state
had failed to make out a case and
Mr.. Perdue was acquitted. Then
the other cases, which were similar
TO this one, were dismissed.
Attorney j. M. TIernan appeared
for the state, at the instance Of the
Board of Education, and he and
Judge Marcum made nice, enter
tanning speeches.

TWO WRECKS ON
The n. & W. R'Y
Rear End Collision Causes
Traffic to be Suspended
Ten Hours.

Two wrecks occurred ON the BIG San.
dy line of the N. s. w. late Saturday
night, in which rolling stock was dam.
aged considerably,
The first accident occurred at Pricb.
ard. A crew was putting coal upon the
wharf at that place when three cars
got away and dashed down the incline
at lightning speed. Part of the incline
was demolished as we'll as the cars. The
wrecking outfit from Kenova was called
and cleared the tracks, after which it
returned to Kenova.
The men had not been relieved from
duty when another message was receiv.
ed ordering them to Fort Gay to clean
up another wreck
This accident was the result of a rear.
end collision. An air hose on a west
bound freighs burst, causing the train to
stop, Before the damaged hose could
be replaced double header came sailing
down the line and plowed into the rear
end OF the forward train. Both engines
were turned oyer and the caboose and
three or four cars smashed up. Traffic
was blocked ten or twelve hours, a track
having to be built around the wreckage.
Conductor Bert Elkins had a narrow
escape from terrible death. He was
between two cars coupling the air hose
when the smash-up took place. He was
knocked down and three cars passed
over him, but he managed to crawl be.
tween the trucks and escaped to safety
receiving only few scratches. How he
escaped death is miraculous.
Passenger train No. 4 had proceeded a
considerable distance up the line when
it was compelled to return to Kenova
and go via the old line.
In assisting in clearing the debris VIM.
Adkins received a severe scalp wound. g.
This was caused by an iron missile fall.

State Sues EX.Sh6rjff,

The initial step in proceedings
which may in the end mean thous-
ands OF dollars TO the state was in
stituted at Parkersburg last week
when State Tax Commissioner
Townsend filed exceptions to the
settlement between the county
court Of Wood county and ex
Sheriff w. III. Carter. The court
allowed Carter FIVE per cent com.
mission on all taxes collected dur
Ing the discount period previous to
the time when the new acts of 1908
went into effect and the state con.
tends that he should have been al
lowed but two and half per cent
The difference amounts TO about
$Is,OUO.
The case will undoubtedly be ap-
pealed TO the circuit court and then
go to the supreme court for final
Interpretation of this section of the
tax law. If Carter loses In Wood
county it would naturally follow
that the state will take the same
proceeding in all of the other coun-
ties of the state where similar set
elements were made by the coun.
ty courts, which would cause the
ex-sheriffs to rellpquish thousands
of dollars they bad received in
commissions.

NO "JOY RIDE"
TO NORTH POLE
But q Carefully Calculated
EXpeditiOn--SacrificeS
of DiScOVerer'S Wife.

New York, Septem Der John
K. Bradley, the financial backer
of DR.. Frederick A. Cook, took
pains to explain today that the
Brooklyn explorers success in
reaching the North Pole was not
so much the result .of chance, as
the opinions Of. several polar ex.
perts would indicate. "This was
no hap-hazard expedition" he
said, "no intensified Arctic Joy
ride undertaken on nerve. We
went about our preparations for
this thing quietly and without
brass band accompaniment, but
every imaginable contingency had
been provided for. We studied
out the mistakes and misfortunes
of other men who had tried for
the pole, hoping to benefit by
'hoh oiioio nuu We CeTthiuly
benefited by their examples.
am not going to tell you what the
cost was, but I'll tell you this
much. One single item Of the
equipment was 5000 gallons of
gasoline and another was two
barrels of gum drops. An Eski.
mo will travel thirty miles for a
gum drop. His sweet tooth is
the sweetest in thel.world. Now,
Cook has as much nerve as any
man in the world, guess, but he
had something besides nerve to
carry him through. Pm not
trying TO take any of the credit,
but l want to cay that he had the
right kind Of an outfit to take
him through. Cook will prove to
the satisfaction of every fair mind
that he has done exactly what he
cl inns he did"
RACRIFICEs OF MRS. COOK.
Mrs. Cook, wife of the discover.
er of the pole, heard from her
husband last about year ago
through a mem Der of the peary
relief expedition. Although she
was anxious concerning DR.. Cook g
whereabouts, che never lost con-
fdence in him and before start
ing for Maine in June she told
friends that she felt she would
soon hear he had been successful.
"My hu sband never believed in
sensationalism," Mrs. Cook said
of him In an interview before che
left the city for the summer,
"and his feeling against Peary
was pronounced. He saw Peary
work in Greenland and did not
like the way he treated the Ia.
tives. When be had a chance to
come home, DR.. Cook refused tc
do 30. Instead of returning with
Peary he determined 10 make
solitary effort to gain the pole.
He walked three days to get to q
! place from which he could send
letter to me. In the letter, which
he asked me to keep secret, he
told me he would reach the north
pole or die in the attempt. He
said that one man with determin-
alton and the genuine love and
regard of the natives could do
more than whole expedi ditions.
That was the last / heard of him.
But l knew that il did not get
news of his success 1 would hear
from him."
Mrs. Cooks youngest daughter
does not remember ever having
seen her father. On the wall of
the Brooklyn fat in which Mrs.
Cook lived with the children last
year she hung, low on the wall,
photograph of her husband, and
it was one of the bedtime rites of
the children to kiss the picture.
