The Churches Entertain.

On last Friday evening the Presby-
teriau and Baptist churches of Cliff
ton gave Christmas trees and glad
dened the hearts of the little ones.
Both churches rendered interesting
entertainments, in which the little
folks, as well as the older ones, par
ticipated. 1t was two of the most
successful entertainments ever given
in Clifton and the seating capacity
of both churches we're taxed to the
limit. Every child belonging to the
Sunday Schools we're remembered by
that grand old fellow-Santa Claus.

Eagles Entertained Christmas Night.

Several hundred Eagles and in
vited friends enjoyed one of the most
elaborate entertainments at the
Eagle lodge room Christmas night
that has ever been given under the
auspices of any secret organization
in Clifton. A Christmas tree was in
evidence on which hung a bounteous
number of presents for the little
folks and many OF the older ones.
The hall was decorated in harmony
and the decoration committee won
the favorable comment of all pres
ent. a most interesting program
was rendered during the first portion
of the event, which was closed with
a grand ball and those who desired
to dance enjoyed themselves until
the wee hours were signalled by the
popular floor manager.
The Eagles have, upon several &C.
casions. invited their friends to join
them in a good time, but those who
attended the last one report that all
past entertainments were doubly sur
passed. The hall was crowded to
o7eraowing with members and happy
guests and though each member of
the lodge had the privilege of invit-
ing a friend there were many friends
who had to be left out on account of
lack of room. Such entertainments
have been the cause of making the
Eagles quite popular in Clifton.

Fire at Chase Creek Mines.

On last Friday evening, when the
residents of the camp had gone to
Clifton to attend midnight mass at
the Catholic Church, fire broke out
at the camp of the Chase Creek cop
per company and the house, pro-
visions and other material were a
total loss. The occupants of the
house report that they we're particu-
lar TO extinguish the fire and took
every precaution to guard against
possible fire. Shortly after they left
the house and we're in Clifton the fire
started.
Parties residing near the Chase
Creek camp report that when they
first saw the blaze it was on the out
side and before they could reach the
scene it had gained such Roadway
that it was beyond control. 1t is al
most certain that the fire was start
ed by some person who applied the
torch from the outside. 1t is report
ed that dynamite was found close to
where the building stood, and as no
explosives we're kept near the camp
it might have been lucky thing that
the occupants of the camp were in
Clifton. Nothing definite has been
learned as to the reason why anybody
should set fire to the place or commit
a crime unless it was the hard feel
ing of men who had been discharged
a few days before. This statement
was made as one of the possibilities
and as no evidence is available it will
probably never be known just how
the fire started. The fire will not
materially effect the work which is
now going on at the Chase Creek
mines, as new camp can be estab-
lished immediately.

Edmund Lafave Passes Away.

Early Monday morning of this
week death claimed another of Cliff
toms citizens, Edmund o. Lafave,
who has been a resident of this place
during the past six years. Deceased
was a miner by trade but since his
residence in Clifton he has filled
numerous other positions in the
walks of life with credit and honor
to himself. His acquaintance ex-
tends all over the mining district in
and around Clifton and his friends
number those who knew him best.
Deceased was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Lafave, who have resided in
Clifton a number of years. He was
forty-three years of age on the 18th
of this month and is the last child of
a family of eight that Mr.. and Mrs.
Lafave have lost. Besides his father
aud mother he leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his loss, and
to them is extended the deepest sym
pathy of the entire community.
The cause of his death was an alb
cess of the liver and his condition
grew more alarming day by day I'M
til it was decided that an operation
was the only chance to save his life.
On Sunday night an operation was
performed and though he recovered
from it he was too weak to overcome
the shock. He lived five hours after
the operation.
Edmund LafaYe was a member in
good standing of Castle Gate Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, of Utah, his for
mer home, and the funeral, which &C.
Cured Tuesday afternoon, was con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
local Knights of Pythias lodge. The
remains were removed from the I'M
dertaking parlors to the lodge room,
where Rev. Curry H. Love, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, conducted
funeral services. The sermon was
followed by J. B. Murphy, who de-
livered short talk on behalf of the
order of Knights of Pythias. The
services were accompanied by music
and singing, and were attended by a
number of friends of the family.
The remains were laid at rest in
the Masonic cemetery up Wards
canyon and the local lodge, with c.
P. Dunn acting as prelate, paid it's
last tribute to a worthy brother in a
most impressive manner. The reg
ular ritual service was followed by a
few remarks from G. A. Van Dorm on
behalf OF the order.

Santos Beruno, Mexican who was
celebrating Christmas last week in an
inspiring manner, finally landed be-
fore Judge Moder, who, after hearing
his case, gave him Christmas pres
ent of ninety days in Jail. Santos had
been invited from Harvey & Leonards
emporium and as result he got
angry. After going up the street a
short distance he returned and with
a bottle broke the big show window
of the Clifton Grocery store. This
store is next door to the emporium
and in his hatse Santos landed the
bottle in the wrong place. He ex-
planned to Judge Moder that when he
attempted to remove the cork from
the bottle it slipped from his hands,
but the judge could not see it that
way,
