WITH ROPE AND FISTS MEXICAN
 KILLS WIFE
Mexican Living On Eagle Creek is Charged With Beating To Death His Sick Wife,and Burying
 the Body To Hide Crime.

USaba Chavez, a Mexican, who for some time has been living in the Eagle Creek section, is now in the county jail charged with the brutal murder of his wife. Chavez and the dead woman had been married about one year, and were living near the pump station on Eagle Creek, where they were engaged in gardening. The woman, who had four small children by former marriage, had been in ailing health for some time, and it is surmised that the Mexican was anger ed because of the woman's continued ill health.
 Chavez had been in the habit ot often beating and abusing the woman beat her so cruelty with his fists and rope that her death resulted on the following Monday. Immediately after her death, Chavez placed the body in a rough box, and buried it near the home, then desertfng the helpless little children, he came to New Town Morenci, where he was arrested Wed nesday.
 Immediately upon his arrest, Judge Lally, of Morenci, accompanied by Officers Keppler and Dilliner, both of to the scene of the murder, and caus- ed the body to be exhumed. The body was in a fearful condition, showing the marks made by the brutal treat ment of the husband. The coroner's jury rendered it's verdict that the wo- man had come to her death because of being beaten at the hands of her husband, Usaba Chavez.
 The preliminary trial of Chavez was held at Morenci Friday, before Judge Lally, with the result that the accus- ed was held, under bond of $10,- 00O.O0, to appear before the next ses- sion of the grand jury. Failing to give the bond, the Mexican was brought to Clifton and lodged in the county jail.

preliminaries are promised for the match Saturday night, four of the best local men having entered for exhibi- tions to be held before the star event of the evening. The purse for the victor in the contest between Hall and Kemp is $200.00, and the gate re- ceipts will be divided in proportion. Halls exhibitions when before in Cliff ton were of the best, and it is safe to say that his coming exhibition at the Empire Saturday night will well please the audience.

CLIFTON AGAINST SILVER CITY |S
 DEFEATED
In Two Games, Local WieIders of the Willow Go Down To Defeat Be- , fore staIwarts From Silver
 City.

Clifton baseball fans, in the games played Saturday and Sunday, between Silver City and the home team, were afforded the best exhibitions played on the local grounds this season. Sill yer City's men clearly outclassed the home boys, especially in the results of practice, yet the contest was close enough, especially the game of Satur- day, to give the deepest delight to the multitude of rooters.
 The game Saturday was bitterly contested throughout, the Clifton players playing with a vengeance that denoted their strong determination that Silver City should not take to their homes the baseball scalp of Clifton, yet their strong playing was of no avail, and the score ended Az, in the favor of the visitors.
 The noticeable part of the game was the excellent fielding by Silver City, the whirling sphere apparently holding no mysteries for them. Until the dying innings, the hopes of the Clifton roOterS were riding high, neith- er side being able to effect enough runs to bring satisfaction to them selves. However, in the ninth inning, the Silver City crowd began to get in play that brought two deeply appre- l ciated scores to the loss of Clifton, and disappointment of the excruciat- ing variety to the strong lunged root CTS of the same town.
 But hope in the hearts of the Cliff tonites resumed for the Sunday s game Again they entered theSlists with the multitude of bowling, cheer ing fans for encouragement. But the Silver boys were again as stone wall, wickedly again putting into the box the consummate artist of the pill, Thomas, who never failed to throw those puzzlers at the time that a score was among Clifton'S needs.
 A feature of the game Sunday was the admirable work of the shortStopS. Grounders were their prey, and ele- vations their delight, to the chagrin of the Clifton players: Silver City was increasingly in the ascendancy, and played a game that brought thrills of admiration to the sport bugs, even though they in silence and in verbal expressions were roofing for Clifton The final score was 7-3, again in the favor of the New Mexi- | cans.
 Perhaps the great pitching of Thomas was @ the biggest hs tacI d;S magnificent work, throwing to the deluded Clifton batsman balls that have never been catalogued by those unfortunates. And Thomas was well supported from the base and the field, scarce being the number of balls that escaped the Silver fieldmen.
 While a disappointment of the acutest to the Clifton aggregation, the games, both of them were splendidly played, and the numerous enthusiasts of the louadrilateral were soothed by the knowledge that they had seen the best baseball played in Clifton since the years that Clifton had a team that mantled the town with a sea sons glory The Clifton team at at present is not in the best of prac-
 and alignment, yet they play a

YOUNG HALL RETURNS T

WRESTLE.-Young Hall, the cham pion wrestler of the Pacific coast, and
 who recently gave several exhibitions in Clifton, returned to Clifton this week, and will wrestle Saturday night with Al Kemp, of Ft. Worth. The place of the contest will be at the Empire theater Kemp was the vic tor in a contest held at the Empire some nights since, and comes from Texas with good record. The con ditions of the coming contest are that Hall throw Kemp twice within one hour. The admirers of Kemp are dubious of Halls ability to accom- plish this, although Hall was victor in every match he entered here at the time of his first visit, as be has been in all matches entered since leaving Clifton. Lately Hall has wrestled good men at Globe and Los Angeles, and was easily victor. Good

County Counsel Benjamin F. Jones
will be asked to decide whether or
not the bill presented to the freehold
ers by one of the supervising arehi-
tects appointed early this year should
be paid. The problem arose at meet
ing of the building committee OF the
Board of Freeholders yesterday after
noon when a bill for $3.50 was pre-
scented for payment by Herman kreit-
Ter.
The architects bill comprised an
item of $500 for work in preparing
plans and specifications for an addi-
ton to the county jail and $3.50 for
similar work in planning new
wagon shed at the penitentiary.
Freebooter Malta questioned the
right of the architect to receive pay,
as he was one of the supervisors
appointed and not expected to do
actual work. Director Evans declared
that as the committee had accepted
the plans in good faith and were
drawn up with similar motive by MIR.

pay.

suit that the matter was submitted

was carried requesting the county
counsel or his assistant to be present
