From A Former Citizen.
(whiteside sentinal.)

The following letter was received
from DIR. L. A. w. Durtch, formerly
resident of Morrison:
Clifton, Arizona, July 81, 1910.
Editor Sentinel" Morrison, ILL.,,
Dear Sir
In a recent issue of the Sentinel ]
note an article primarily descriptive
of rare violin in which are some
statements that are trihe mslead-
ing. Now it may be because I have
partaken of "Hassayampa Water"
that they appear misleading to me,
but the Hassayampa river is located
in Arizona a few miles north and
west from Phoenix and empties when
it has any water to empty into the
ella river, and the motto of the
Hassayampa Club is taken from the
verse of Andrew Downing anent the
peculiar qualities of the river.
"There's legend, centuries old,
By the Early. Spaniards told,
Of sparkling stream that lies
Under Arizona's skies.
Hassayampa is its name
And the title to its fame
Is wohdfous quality
Known today from sea to sea,
Those who drink its waters bright,
Red man, white man, boor or
knight,
Girls or women, boys or men,
he
The "Hassayampa Club" was or
gained in Los Angeles six years ago,
and was conceived by Hon. Charles
M. Shannon, the original owner of
the famous Shannon copper mine in
Arizona, and by Mr.. John Mitchell of
the Hollenbeck Hotel of Los Angeles,
former Arizona and New Mexico
hotel man, who were respectively its
first President and Secretary. The
occasion for its inception was an ex-
cursion run from Clifton to Los Ange-
les on which were about two hundred
inhabitants of this part of the coun-
try. "Pink" Leonard, then editor of
"The Copper Era," our local news
paper, and myself wired Shannon
1.-TWO Hundred Cliftonites coming on
No. 9, have the band out to meet u.s."
He wired back that there would be a
banquet for US at the Alexandria and
asked how many of the party would
attend at so much per plate. We
took a census of the train and an
swered. At this banquet was pro-
posed plan for the organization of
club, which has become the Has
sayampa Club, to which any loyal
Arizonan, New Mexican or Southern
California mining man is eligible;
and the club now has it's annual meet
ing and banquet in Los Angeles in
August. 1t is an annual reunion in
Los Angeles of principally Arizonans
and exArizonans and always a very
joyous occasion, as at that time of
the year there are always a great
many people taking their vacations
on the coast. And on these occasions
a supply of Hassayampa Water,
bottled for the occasion, flows freely,
and many are the tales of pioneer
life in the Great Southwest.
Very truly yours,
L. A. W. BURTCH.

simply talked over general matters.
"Were you sent west to secure
Senator Ballinger's registration?"
"What 1 was sent for, if 1 was sent
at ALL" replied the senator with a
smile, sis not public business. have
finished my trip, and am going home.
L don't care to discuss Ballinger
politics, or my mission here"
"Did you meet Secretary Ballinger
in Chicago and did you hold con-
ference with him here?"
At this point the senator fed, and
as he walked through the door up
Michigan avenue he said:
"I have told all am going to tel
and L shall certainly say nothing
about Ballinger."

Metcaif, Ariz., August 9, i9iO.
nner Era Clifton. Arizona.

Mr.. Editor:-I see by the last issue
of your paper that there is some
doubt in the minds of the Clifton
Rifle Club in regard to the out come
of the shoot with the Metcalf club
July 81. Enclosed herewith is the
original score card which shows that
Metcalf won by Is points. The Cliff
ton club claims that the score was
kept as if Clifton had first fye men
at the gun and Metcalf the next five,
and so on throughout the shoot. If
this is true, they are beaten by IA
points, so wherein is the doubt.
We do not regard this victory as
glorious however, as our score was
far below normal, yet for US there is
an excuse, perhaps we are afraid of
the cars. Yours truly,
METCALF RIFLE CLUB.

 While Joseph Gabriel slept in a room adjoining his store in Oak street, a burglar removed a pane of glass from a side window, entered the store took about $$35 from the cash drawer, all that it contained, also few boxen of cigars, and departed without awaken ing the sleeper, who slept so soundiN that there is doubt if he could have heard the sound of the horn of his an- gel nanesake.
 Mir. Gabriel retired shortly after II o'clock Tuesday night after Iockin5 himself securely in the store, and was amazed Wednesday morning when he realized that he had been robbed dur ing the night The facts were report ed to police headquarters, but Gabriel could give nothing that would serve as @ clue to the thief.
 Although without basis, Mr. Gabri- el is of opinion that there was more than one concerned in the robbery as no one man would dare to commit theft in such a bold way. He believes that while he slept he was covered by a revolver. which would probably have been used had he awoke. He is there fore satisfied that he slept, for he might have lost his life as well as his money.
