 spent a few days of this week there
 making arrangements to fight the spread of the disease. He reports that he found a number of cases, all of which he has put under quaran- tine. Before discovering the disease a great many people had already been exposed, hence it will not be surprising if a few more cases are developed within the next few days.

What is the' WOman's Christian Temperance Union? It is an organization of Christian women banded together for the abolition of the liquor traffic and the uplifting of humanity. We believe in the gospel of the Golden Rule and that each mans habits of life should be an ex- ample, Sd fe and beneticent for every other man to follow. We believe that God created both man and woman in His own image, and there fore we believe in one standard of purity and morals tor both men and women.

Two More Captures by Patty.

Frederico Tofollo, one of the MeXi
 can boys who was sent from Clifton to the reform school at Benson fo1
 the stealing of goods from the Mo
 Dowell store on Chase creek a few
 months ago, made his escape from
 the school. Constable Patty was notified of his escape and on last Thursday located the boy in his hid ing place in Clifton. It took some detective work to catch the boy as he had many friends here who helped him in his concealment. A large number of his friends were at the depot Friday morning to bid him goodbye. If his friends would use their influence to encourage the boy in leading a better life he would be much better off in the end. The re- form school offers him an opportunity to make good man of himself and permits him to learn a trade.
 During the early part of last week MT. Patty received description of Antonio Perez, a Mexican wanted in Lincoln county, N. M., on a charge O rape, and he at once got busy look ing for his man. In making his search he caught the Mexican on Shannon hill. Sheriff Stevens of New Mexico was wired of the arrest, and upon his arrival identified the man to be the one wanted, and On Friday morning left for home with his prisoner.
