LARGE Crowd al School Meeting.

As was noted in last weeks issue,
the consolidation of school district
No. and No. 81 was granted at the
last meeting of the board of super
visors. 1t is therefore UP to County
Superintendent J. y. Wood, of
Thatcher, to appoint three trustees
for the new district. He stated that
he wished the citizens of Clifton to
select these three candidates that he
might work in accord with their
wishes in his selection. Accordingly
mass meeting was held on Mouda y
evening of this week at Library
Hall. The hall was filled with those
interested, few women being pres
ent.
DR.. Brrtch was chosen as chair
man and Rev. Love as secretary. 1t
was explained from the school laws
thai the High School district still ex-
lists as a distinct district by itself
and that the three chosen and to be
ratified by the county superintend-
ent will haye no authority over the
High School.
The names of seven men were pro-
posed by those present and it was
moved and carried that the three
men receiving the highest number of
votes should be the ones whose
names will go to Mr.. Woods, each
voter voting for three names of the
seven proposed.
p. II. Nlblock, w. f. J. Weiss and
Walter. Tapptn were three receiving
the highest number. Following are
the number of votes cast:
p. h Niblock, 80; w. F. j. Weiss,
80; Walter Tappin, 30; c. w. Beck,
%; o. y. Rjsdon, %; Rev. Love, 26;
Judge Shirley, 10
Total-number of votes cast was IA,
each being for three names.
Judge Shirley made an excellent
little speech in regard to what an in
jury had been done when the two dis
tricts were so divided originally. He
reminded his audience OF how poorly
things had gone with the North Cliff
ton school, tn ''J1rd OF health
had been compelled 70 take matters
in hand, etc. He cautioned against
jealousy of the different sections of
town and asked that they vote for
one man from each section, and men
Who would push things. His speech
was heartily applauded.
At the close of the meeting o. A.
Risdon arose and gave few remarks
straight to the point. If Clifton
was full of boosters like Mr.. RjsdOn,
this would be a "live'' town to the
fullest extent. 1t is through his tire
less efforts that much of this has
been brought about and to him is due
much credit. o. A. Risdon is I'M
doubtedly one of the most public
spirited men in this section.

Youne's Soap Wanted for WaddeII Action.

From The Daily Globe.
Never before had the exercise of
executive clemency caused such
strenuous and unfavorable criticism
OIL the part of residents of Graham
county as have been expressed dur
ug the last few days in refe, ence to
he Communication of sentence by
Acting Governor George U. Young in
the case of young Tom Waddell.
Waddill was sentence to hang by
Judge E. w. Lewis in April for the
murder of an old man known as
"UucIe JIM Lindsay. According To
The reports at the time of the trial
the murder was most deliberate and
cold hlooded.
So bitter has been the denunciation
on the part of some of the citizens of
Graham county that there is talk of
the circulation of a petition asking
Tor the removal of George L. Youn :
from the office of secretary of the
territory and if such petition should
be circulated there seems to be little
doubt that it would receive many
signatures.
In the acting governors eXplana-
ton, or defense of Waddell, the tenn
porary executive shows almost COM
plete ignorance of the record of the
case, despite the fact that he had
access to the transcript of the
evidence which was forwarded to the
governors office.
According 10 authentic Information
from the ella valley, Waddell had
borne an evil reputation even before
killing Lindsay. He had boasted of
killing a Mexican at Clifton, and al
though it was thought at the time to
be mere braggadocio, his story was
partly borne out by the fact that the
body of a Mexican had been found
at about the same ting in 1uue at
! Clifton

A Nice PIG.

An order was recently issued, to
the effect that all germ infested
non-necessitiers we're to be removed
from the hill. About this time DR..
Tibbits discovered pig living
quietly (?) Under a Spaniards house.
When the lady of the house heard
that piggy must be moved she OBJ
jected stoutly saying. sit is d nice
pig, and l battle it twice a day
Now Shannon Hill has long been noted
for its rich mines, but this prodigy
will probably bring a band of ''Globe
trotters" about our heads.
Halley's comet caused quite a stir,
but it will fade into utter oblivion
when the public hears of this. And
the Doctor should feel justly proud in
the finding of the only mice" pig
that has ever been known to exist
