THE FEVER IS INCREASING
Nothing to be Feared. it's Bound to Become Epidemic in Clifton
 The Baseball Fever

The leaves are beginning to sprout, the fruit blossoms to blow and the spring raindrops to drop and these conditions have put the baseball mi crobe in action in the red corpuscles of all the full-blooded fans in Clifton The disease has been aggravated by the knowledge that Morenci already mas club, fully organized, uniformed, equipped and in possession of battle field to which they invite any team in Arizona that thinks it can play ball.
 There are several players here of known ability, who are getting so rus ty that they are using angleworm oil to keep their joints from creaking as they walk and are just "honin" for a game. It would not be very expen- sive to put the grounds in shape, and if they are once fixed up so that the game can be played and crowd have seats to watch it, the boys say that they will keep it shipshape through the season. If the moneyed men will dig up for the initial expense which is not large-considering the fun they'll have and the good it will do the thou sands of people-the less wealthy will see that the flame of interest isI prop erly famed.
 Clifton ought to raise a team that can keep the Morenci boys guessing and then some. How about it?

EIREIN LAUNDRY

The laundry in rear of the Central Hotel was practically destroyed by fire on Saturday night. Flames were discovered about S:30 o'clock and the fiimsy structure burned like straw. A line of hose was quickly laid and the fire kept within the walls of the ,build- ing where it originated. Inflammable material in an adjoining shed was quickly removed. The Central Ho- tel lost quite a quantity of bed linen and the Chinamen who operated the place is said to have lost $10O in mon ey.
 The cries of fire shouted in front of the A1cazar nearly caused stam- pede of the audience, but cool heads convinced the panicky people that there was no danger, "and the band played on.' Nobody was hurt in the rush for the doors and no damage was done by the excited throng.
