PROVED TRUTH OF ADAGE
"Prophet Is Without Honor In
His Own Country.

William Phelps Emo, who devised
the system Of traffic regulations now
practised in New York, and who has
been called the father OF street traf-
fc regulation" had hard time at first
impressing his ideas on public officials.
Foreign cities appreciated them more
than American cities. Paris, threat
ened with strike OF the cab drivers
unless the system OF Emo were put in
effect, adopted 1t. Then Buenos Ayree
sent for Mr. Emo, asked him to work
out plan for its traffic. and agreed to
every suggestion he made.
A year or two later Mr.. Emo was
introduced. as traffic regulation au-
thority, to a muchtraveled resident OF
Washington.
The globe-trotter shook hands with
him, and then said in a rather patron
izing manner:
IF you want to know what's what in
a street-traffic system. Mr.. Emo, you
ought to see the way they do the trick

ALL HAD TO BE IDENTIFIED
Conscientious Philippine Judge Would

An officer of the war department
who has seen service In the Philip

native ideas Of justice In those is-
lands.
An American had come home one
day just In time to witness thief IN
the act OF climbing out OF a window
with the better part OF the Americans
wardrobe. The latter gave chase 30
earnestly that the thief was finally
obliged to drop the clothing 30 that
he might run the faster. He soon dis
appeared from sight. The American
gathered up his belongings. Just then
along came native policeman who
proceeded to place the American un-
der arrest, since he acted In a most
suspicious manner.
To the local magistrate before
whom he was hailed the American
told his story very plainly and en-
phatically. When he had concluded
the Filipino judge said: you are
dismissed. but you may leave the
clothes here"
"Why?" demanded the American.

magistrate. with the air of sage,

SAME OLD THING IN
 THE SAME OLD WAY
lMoresei Ball Tossers Bring Their links With Them and Drop Sunday Game to Clifton 5 to 2.

Clifton =. 1 O 0 0 0 1-5 .Morenci 0 0 1 o 0 o 0 1-2
 The above score by innings tells the story in brief of the defeat of the hill climbers from Morenci at the Clifton ball park on Sunday last by the home aggregation.
 Notwithstanding that the Grimes brothers, two of the best players on the home team, were absent, it was the same old story. The tide of vic tory began to flow in the lucky seventh. Clifton had crossed one man over the plate in the first in ming and Morenci had tied the score in the third. From there on the score board showed string of goose eggs when Clifton came to bat in the seventh.
 Crittenden, playing short for Mo renci, started the ascension by fumbl- ing a hot grounder, and in an eff fort to cut Thompson eff at first, threw the ball away and Thompson was safe on second. The next man up knocked sizzler down the third base line which the umpire called a foul ball and McIlveen, who was coaching on third, clinched with the umpire in a hot argument over the decision. Weeks made first on a low throw and stole second. Ben nie slammed out a base hit and Thompson scored. Grant knocked a single to Crittenden who again fumbled and Weeks galloped home. McI1veen, the next man up, knocked a long fly to left and Bennie scored Three runs were netted as a result of errors and punched hits
 Ln the last half of the ninth Mo- renci started rally but were headed off after getting one man across the plate.
 Clifton came near putting the game on ice in the fifth when. three men were on bases and two out with Me Tween at the bat. The best Nc could do was to put a grounder into the init of the third baseman who step ped on the bag heading off the forced runner from second.
 A one hand catch of a high throw to first by Thompson and long run ming catch by Hammer in center field were the features of the game.
 The batteries were Weeks and Riley for Clifton and Stephens and Brock for Morenci.
 Clifton plays at Morenci Sunday afternoon, July 18th.

LITTLE GIRL KILLED BY FALLING UNDER
 WAGON WHEELS
Six Year Old Elizabeth Russell is Thrown from Wagon on Way to Blue River. Wheels Pass Over Chest-Hurried to Hospital But Only Lived Few Hours.

What promised to be pleasant summer outing in the Blue mountains for Mrs. Robert Russell and children resulted in turning the family home in North Clifton into an abode of death and sorrow, when the little body of six-year-old Elizabeth was brought back to Clifton Thursday evening crushed and bruised, and who at eleven o'clock the same evening passed away at the A. c. hospital as the result of injuries received when the wagon wheels of heavily loaded freight wagon passed over the child.
 On Thursday morning Mrs. Russell, accompanied by her young son and little Elizabeth, started on an outing trip into the Blue mountains intend ing to spend several weeks at the saw mill camp above Cosper's. They were making the trip in a freight wagon that had recently arrived from the camp bringing in load of 1um- Der and was starting on the return trip loaded with supplies. The wagon was drawn by six horses and was heavily loaded. On top of the load of merchandise were bales of hay and Mrs. Russell with her two little children seated themselves on the hay. When the wagon had reach cd point about four miles qbrv:e the
 
 from Clifton, the roads were found to h2 rough apC rocky on account ef the recent heavy rains. In descend ing the steep bank after crossing the river, the wagon wheels encountered a boulder in the road. The wagon lurched violently and Mrs. Russell and the children were thrown from their seats on the wagon, the lit tie girl falling in such a manner that the rear wheels of the wagon passed over her diagonally from the left shoulder across the body.
 The driver of the wagon hurried back to the Harper ranch where he secured buggy and the grief strick- en mother, with her injured daughter, were hurried to Clifton arriving here about eight o'clock last night and was taken immediately to the hos pital where the little one, who had not yet lost consciousness, complain ed of pains in her neck and stomach. It was learned that the wind pipe had been severed and she was nor tally injured internally. The little girl fingered until shortly after eleven o'clock when death relieved her suf- fering.
 The funeral will take place from the family residence in North Clifton Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
