TWO YOUNG MEN DROWNED.
AShby Wilkinson Sacrifices His Life to
 Save a Friend.

On last Thursday evening North Clifton was the scene of much excite ment when it was announced that two young men hand been drowned in the A. c. reservoir above Patterson's addition; their names being Paul Richter and Ashby Wilkinson. Paul Richter was boy of fourteen years, having arrived here from Gallup, N. M., on Wednesday even- ing, with his mother, on visit to his uncle, Judge H. Moder. Wilkinson was boy ot nineteen years, who has resided here for some time and was employed in the A. c. power-house. He leaves a mother and two brothers.
 Richter and several other boys were in swimming in the reservoir; which is ten or twelve feet deep in the middle. He was a good swimmer and after being in for some time at tempted to swim the hole. When he with cramps and began to call for help. The other boys who were in swimming with him were unable to save him. After he had gone under once Wilkinson, who was a good swimmer and who was stand ing on the bank, jumped in with his clothes on to save Richter. He got hold of him, but as is usually the case with a drowning person, Richter grabbed him around the waist and arm, making it impossible for him to stay on top. Both of them went un- der and were drowned before help was secured.
 Henry Doran happened to be pass ing in that neighborhood and was told what had happened. He i'm mediately went to the reservoir and rescued the bodies from the bottom of the reservoir. Doctor Burtch was summoned and arrived there forty five minutes later, but it was too late 10 revive them.
 The remains of Wilkinson were laid to rest in the local cemetery Friday morning and the remains of Richter were pre- pared for shipment and left here Saturday morning for Gallup, where they were buried.
 The ERA joins many friends in ex- tending sympathy to the bereaved relatives of the deceased young men.

A Correction.

The Globe Silver Belt of recent date contained a letter from a Cliff ton correspondent in which it was stated that Jack Sidebotham, local contractor, was fighting organized labor and would not give union car penter work. In speaking to MT. Sidebotham the ERA representative grave injustice to MT. Sidebotham as it was absolutely without founda tion. He is one of our most active contractors and is doing consider able amount of work, on which he is employing union as we'll as non-union help.
 The communication contained no signature, which no doubt is evidence of the fact that the party who wrote the letter was overcome with fit of jealousy or some other phase of the ''kpOcker" and was ashamed to sign his name.
 On Monday of last week Roy Potter of Clifton, and Maggie Reay of Thatcher, appeared before Judge Bunch of the Probate Court, and after hearing the evidence in the case, His Honor sentenced them "To sail life's seas o'er" united as one in love and devotion, as long as life lasts.
