of last week from Duncan.

ment, spent yesterday in Clifton on

6. A. Franz. manager of the Becker.
Franz store in North Clifton, returned

visit to Texas points.
Joe Terrell, foreman at the Double

last week on business. He returned
the latter part OF the week.
The Misses Pudau of Philadelphia,
nieces to H. S Van Gorder, were
down from Morenci the latter part
of last week, the guests of Mrs.
Baylor Shannon.
John Hampson, one of the heaviest
owners of the Double Circle cattle
interests, returned to his home in
Kansas City Monday morning, after
having spent a few weeks here on
business.
George Webster, chairman of the
board of supervisors, returned home
Monday evening, after having spent
a couple of weeks at Thatcher and
also attending the last meeting of the
board of supervisors.
Mrs. George Webster and son,
Lisle, returned home Saturday even
ing of last week from the valley,
where they were called on account of
the death of Mrs. Coombs and the
serious injury of Mrs. Lofgreen.
Dick O'Donnell, formerly a resi-
dent of Morcnci, but who has resided
in Yuma the past two years, return
ed to Clifton this week on a short
trip. He is the same old Dick. He
is interested in some of the mines in
the Morenci district.
Charley johnson, the coppersmith,
who left Clifton several weeks ago to
reside in Guaymas, Mexico, returned
to Clifton Saturday last. He reports
that he had a pretty good position
with one of the big copper companies
in Sonora, but the land of manana did
not suit him and he preferred to take
his chances in Clifton.
Dell M. Potter, Jr., who was re-
Gently married in Phoenix, returned
home this week with his bride. In
another portion of this issue it is
stated that they will make their
home in Phoenix. This is mistake,
as they will reside in the future at
Metcalt, where Mr.. Potter is engaged
in the mining business with Geo. F.
Reed.
A party of fifteen Clifton and Met
calf people left last week for Bisbee,
where a number of candidates were
initiated into the mysteries of the
Knights of Columbus. Among the
candidates were: Jas. Mcintosh, w.
J. Grant, Chrisholm brothers, Rev.
Garnet, J. V. Dunn, Johnny Carrigan,
Cameron. w. E. Kelly, n. Noll, P.
Riley, J. ]. Kelly, L. W. Turgeon and
others. We guess they had a good
time as those who were initiated had
very little to say upon their return.
. Frank B. Lame, who for a number
of years has been engaged in the law
business in Clifton and Graham
county, has decided to close his Office
here and leave for new field either
in California or Utah. Mr.. Lame has
always enjoyed a substantial law
practice in this county and his many
friends here deeply regret his de-
parture, but wish him success and
prosperity wherever he may locate.
1t is understood that Hon. J. r. Hamp-
ton will succeed him in the most of
his unfinished law business.
There will be a grand masquerade
ball at Prettyman's opera house on
Christmas night, given by the A. C.
carpenters, to which the public is
cordially invited. The boys are now
boosting for the occasion and tickets
are being sold rapidly. The admis-
sion will be so cents for each person
who passes the door and all masks
must be raised. The boys have also
made arrangements with Mr.. Pretty
man to furnish for rent masks and
costumes for the occasion. This will
be quite an accommodation to those
who desire to disguise themselves
and join in the merry time.
George F. Raber, of Concully,
Washington, who spent a couple of
weeks here closing out his fathers in
terests, departed for his home the
