Wri.es Letter To Globe Paper Denying
 Published Statements.

Mrs. Harriet Swift, of Morenci, is indignant on account of the publish ed statement in the Globe Silver Belt and has written the following letter to the edior of that paper:
 To the Editor of the Silver Belt
 I have just learned of the article you published to the effect that had carried into the jail tools with which the prisoners tried to escape, and that I also jumped my bond. I just wish to say have carried no tools to the jail. neither have I jumped my bond. I have been corresponding with my bondsmen and I was told when left Globe that I was to ap- pear there in May and that Is my in- tention. If anyone there is desirous of knowing my whereabouts I am in Morenci, Arizona, with MT. A. T. Swift. Kindly don't try to make me out desperado. Respectfully,
 MRS. HARRIET SWIFT.

Clifton EIieh Defeats Thatcher.

The baseball fans both large and
 small were given a treat last Satur-
 day afternoon when the Clifton High
 School team walloped the Academy boys from Thatcher to the rag time
 tune of to B. When Umpire Mason
 announced Goolsby and Smith, battery
 for Clifton, and Gale and Curtis for
 the visitors the grand stand ro-red
 with applause and the game was of,
 the visitors taking the field. GOOlsby and Beck went out in succession and WhipDle drove a long one to left
 which was muffed by Mcdonald and | Whipple was safe at first. Jones
 slammed a liner out for two sacks
 aod both runners safe. Frank Bill kingsley saved the day by following
 with another two-sacker and two
 jolly boys sprinted across home plate. T. Grimes retired the side on a hard luck line drive to first. For the
 visitors T. and c. Curtis went out in succession and Moody landed on first on error and succeeded in passing the circuit in a similar manner. Fuller retired the side. In the second inning both teams were satisfied in drawing a goose egg. but in the third the locals profted to the extent of six runs by the visitors fumbling several times, followed by hard safe drives by T. Grimes and Gools5y For the visitors Lamareaux and c Curtis made the circuit in safety. During the remainder of the game both sides settled down and played professional ball, the visitors and locals both scoring one run each in the fifth aud eighth innings
 Lack of space prevents a more complete mention of the game, but the pitching of Goolsby and Gale was of the highest standard. honors favor ing Goolsby in number of hits and Gale winning honors iu number of strike-outs The fast fielding and miraculous md stabs by Grimes on third were easily the leading feat ures of the game, and the excellent work of Billingsley on first added more favora ble comments 10 the list. The other members of the Clifton team each performed his good share | towards winning the game, all of them taking good care of their posi- tious and making but very few errors.
 For the visitors it can be said that they put up good stiff argument i and gave good account of them selves, and their manager and the fans were of the opinion that ho 1ors ! would have been more even but for a few hard luck errors.
 The return game will Le played at Thatcher some time in the near future, at which time the Academy boys promise to make things little more interesting and gain back their lost laurels.

Last week there was a man up at Clifton selling groceries direct to the copsummers. He represented Chicago house, and claimed he de- livered the groceries cheaper than they could be bought in Clifton. The Era got d priceon bill of groceries amounting to SSS Is, and found the bill could be duplicated at retail in Clifton for SS2. O5. The Era printed the two bills in it's issue of last week. The LIBERAL submitted the bill 10 a Lo-dsburg merchant, and his regular re ail prices on the goods was SIS 0l. Of course the freight on the goods would be little more to Clifton than to Lordsburg, which would account for the difference between the Cliff ton and Lordsburg prices, but only a greatly increased profit for the seller would account for the difference be- tween these prices and the prices Of the man from Chicago,-LOrds- burg Liberal.
