Eagles Entertain Friends.

On last Friday evening Clifton Aerie No. 1890. Eagles, entertained a large number of their friends at the Casino hall with a grand ball and card party, which is reported to have been one of the most pleasant func- tions ever given in Clifton by a fraternal organization. Fully 225 people attended.
 Many of the guests indulged in card playing, others danced and all did justice to the luscious refreshments, of which there was an unlimited quantity. A most Interesting pro- gram, in which various members took part, was rendered, special selections by the orchestra, dancing and card playing, went on at the same time, making it a continual round of plea sure for the ladies and gentlemen.
 The hall was beautifully decorated in the colOrs emblematic of the order red, white and blue--there being miles of crepe paper strewn from one end of the hall to the other. This effect was offset by red, white and blue electric lights, and in the golden nest rested the handsome Eagle, which was also lighted in colors. Past Presi- dent Lancaster acted as master of ceremonies and I. B. English was the favorite as floor manager. The decoration was in the hands of a special committee, to whom the mem- bers of the local lodge should ever feel grateful for their pronounced

Sloan Succeeds Kibbey as GoYernOr.

President Taft sent to the senate Tuesday the nomination of Richard E. Sloan of Prescott for governor and George U. Young as territorial secretary, vice John H. Page having rendered his resignation. MT. Sloan is accepting the governorship of Ari- zona at a sacrifice personally, but his friends who desired harmony in the ranks of the party insisted and he is to handle the reins of the terri tory in the future. The retirement of Governor Kibbey will bring to an ending one of the most aggressive administrations in the history of the territory, and while MT. Kibbey might have made d few mista keS, he has the distinction of having served his people as one of the best executives we ever had.

MOrenci Wins Again.

Clifton was again taken into camp by Morenci on Sunday last by the score of ' to I.
 Disagreeable weather again pre- vented the boys from putting up their best article of ball, as high wind swept clouds of dust across the field throughout the contest.
 Guynup, the "Side wheeler" from Cananea, stal ted in to pitch for Cliff ton, but blew up in the second, Mo renci securing commanding lead that was never cut down. Parsons, who relieved him, showed evidence of stage fright, and after walking two men was benched, Cannon taking his place. The big fellow showed good form, but it was too late to save the day for Clifton.
 Jones pitched a good game for Mo- renCi keeping the few hits we'll scat tered. Clifton got l lone tally in the first. LOngwell walked, stole second and scored on Riley's drive to center, Riley being thrown out at second. In the second an error, hIt by pitch CT, and four singles gave Morenci TOUT runs.

4 Horrible Accident.

On last Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock horrible accident occurred on the Shannon railroad leading from the main line of the A. S5 N. M. to the Shannon shelter, in which FalleCido Montanez was ground to pieces under the ore cars. Montanez, who had fin ished trading at the Shannon store, was on his way home and was climbing the trail leading to the track. About the time that he reached the track the Shannon ore train was making run up the hill. The brakeman, who was riding the front end of the ore car, saw that MOntanez could not cross the track and warned him, b ut he paid no attention to him. He had bundle of dry goods and two bottles of port wine in his arms, which perhaps prevented him from moving faster, and when he reached the second rail the wheels caught him. Before the train could be stopped it had travelled about fifty feet and pieces of the unfortunate Mexican were scattered the entire distance.
 Judge MOder was immediately noti- fled of the accident and at once summoned a jury, who viewed the remains, after which the remains were picked up and placed in a cracker box and removed to the un- .dertaking parlors. Montanez was crushed beyond recognition, but from the evidence given before the coro- ner's jury there seems to be no doubt of the name. The jury eXonerated the railroad crew, who were not in the least responsible for the accident.
 This accident should be a warning to the many people who frequently use the Shannon railroad track as a side walk, when as q matter of fact there is a first-class wagon road lead ing to the works. This track is a most dangerous piece of road and it is a wonder that other serious ac cidents have not occurred during the past seven or eight years. There have been number of narrow escapes, and the railroad men are constantly kept in hot water for fear of running over somebody.

EIks Getting Rusy.

Several of the leading camps of the territory owe a great deal to the boosting qualities of Elk lodges and the ERA is more than pleased to see the local members of that order get ting busy, preparatory to organizing lodge in Clifton. A canvas of the CliftOn-Morenci district shows con siderable more than 100 members and at least 150 outsiders who are anxious to go in as charter members of a new lodge. A meeting of a large number of old members, held at Library hall last week, decided to appoint a committee to look after d dispensation for charter, which will be arranged by the time that the new town officers are elected and the incorporation ot Clifton is perfected.
 Members of the Elks lodge have secured building site adjoining the Shannon store in South Clifton, which will be turned oyer to the lodge when it is organized. If present plans are carried out a handsome building will be erected on the site. This proposition is in the hands of live committee and the result can be nothing but success.

4 Reverse in inc flood Case.

Word was received in Clifton last week from Tucson, announcing that all of the flood cases, except the Forbes case, had been dismissed from court upon the ruling of Judge Campbell, who presided over the famous case of Hoefeld vs. the De- troit Copper company. This decision came as d thunderbolt to the Clifton people, who have always been conf dent of recovering damages sustain ed in the big flood of December 3rd, when thousands of tons of tailings swept the business section of Chase creek.
 It is understood that the reason for this decision was upon the grounds that the complaints were not proper ly drawn. The Clifton people will ap- peal from the decision of the Tucson court. It will be remembered that this decision was delayed for some time after the trial at Tucson, which ended the latter part of September, and had this ruling been given before the 3rd of last December. the plain tiffs would have been able to file amended complaints, but coming at this date they are barred by the statutes of limitation.
