GLOBE NEWSPAPER
MAN rs ASSAULTED
George Clements of Ell Paso
Had Fought Tough
Saloons.

Globe, Ariz., Aug. George H
Clements, editor of the Daily Globe,
was assaulted last night by Wise An
derson, brother of former city mar
shall Robert NJ. Anderson. now in the
territorial penitentiary at Florence,
for the murder of George NJ. Stanley,
in the wine room Of the Wellington
bar in this city in March
Clements at that time was editor of
the Silver Belt and vigorously protest
ed against drunken peace officers, de-
handing their removal from office and
the closing of tough saloons, having
wine room attachments.
Clements recently returned to Globe
IS editor of the Daily Globe. and in a
recent issue his paper ca1led atten-
ton to a trouble in the Richelieu res
taurant in which drinks were served
from the White House bar, when
waiter was brutally beaten. Clements
then urged suppression of the rough
saloon. Clements has also strenuously
opposed the attitude of acting gov
ernor Young in paroling and pardon
ing number of murderers from the
penitentiary, and that, too, has aroused
much unfavorab1e comment among the
rougher element of the city.
Anderson returned to Globe Friday,
and on Saturday warned B. Barron,
manager of the Daily Globe, that IN
less Clements left town something
would drop. Barron repeated the warn
ing to Clements. but the latter refused
to consider the matter seriously,
though he did send William Sparks,
yesterday afternoon, to Anderson for
an explanation. To Sparks Anderson
said he meant nothing except to let
Clements know that he did not like
him and had no intention of doing any
thing. About half an hour later. Just
as Clements was leaving his office,
Anderson stepped up to him and struck
him. Coming so soon after the message
of peace, brought by Sparks, Clements
was caught off his guard, but mixed
more with the desire to prevent An
derson, who is reputed to be a gun
man, from shooting him than to fight
a man his size. weight and activity
Bystanders separated them and Ander-
son later was arrested. when war
rants were sworn out by deputy sheriff
Frank Haynes He was released on his
own recognizance for hearing Tues
day.
The assault. coming from the source
it did, aroused much feeling through
out the city. Reputable saloon men
met last night and passed a resolution
of sympathy for Clements and assured
him that they are with him in the
fight against fragrant disorders

Governor stubbs in Town.

Governor w. Il. Stubbs, of Kansas,
was among the distinguished callers
at the office of the great family jour
nal last Tuesday afternoon. He has
. very forceful personality and his
method CT shaking hands is decidedly
unique. He grabs your extended nit
with come here to me expression
and gives you yank towards him.
and then proceeds to tell how delight.
cd he Is to meet you. When he bids
you good bye he goes through the
same performance and gives you
yank as though he was going to carry
you off with him. We don't believe
anybody ever tried to run bluff on
the governor. He don't look as
though he would stand for IL.
Governor Stubbs has been down
around Fowler and Manzanola for ten
days looking after the two Indian
claims of 1850 acres that he acQuir.
ed year or two ago. He and his
Brother. J. +. Stubs, have expended
about $4,000 in improvements on
their possessions during the past
year, and have proven the practibility
OF pumping the underflow for irriga.
tion purposes on large scale. Be
sides building new ranch houses and
bArns they have installed nearly
eight miles of laterals and are still at
work making improvements. With
the improvements the 1850 acres OF
land represent an investment OF
about $40 per acre.
Governor Stubbs and his brother
have decided to cut up one-half OF
the acreage. which is not yet improv.
ed. into forty acre tracts. and viii
place II upon the market through the
agency OF the Arkansas Valley Realty
Company. The improved land. irri.
gated from the underflow by a pump.
ing plant. will b. an object lesson as
TO the possibilities OF the unimproved
land. and ought to result In its being
sold In small tracts very readily and
settled up with a thriving ricultur-
al population.
