Automobiles Return from Phoen'x--
Chas. Asche, Chas. Chesterfield,
and Frank Martin, returned Sunday

splendid Velie automobile. Asche will
place his car for service between Mo-
renci and Clifton, in addition to those
already in operation, while Chester
fields car will be for private uses.

from Phoenix was record breaking in
certain respects, especially between
Duncan and Clifton, the distance be-
ing made in one hour and forty
minutes. Phoenix was left at five
thirty in the morning and Douglas,
two hundred and forty miles away,
was reached at nine o'clock of the
same day. Leaving Douglas at eight
thirty o'clock in the morning, Clifton
was reached at four-thirty o'clock of
the same day. The cars purchased
are of a special construction, built &C
cording to the buyers orders.

METCALF MEETING VERY
ENTERTAINING AFFAIR

| The convention at Metcalf last
Saturday of the Greenlee County Par
ents+Teachers' Association proved to
be very entertaining, both in the
theme of the many addresses, and in
the amusements given to the visitors
by the teachers and other residents
of Metcalf.
While not all the numbers of the
program were rendered, the time not
allowing, yet those addresses deliver
ed we're pertinent, and of much in
terest to the audience. Following
the close of the business session
came a splendid dinner given in the
school building by the ladies of Met
calf. Afterwards, the entire assem-
blage of teachers were by the cour-
tesy of the Arizona Copper company
carried on an inspection trip of the
mines in the vicinity.
Morenci's teachers were we'll repre-
scented, more than twenty of the local
force attending. Most of the visitors
gained their way to Metcalf by horse
back, and this proved to be one of
the most enjoyable features of the
day.
This convention was the last sched-
uled for this school year, the former
being held some weeks since
at this place. While the Association
is only recently organized, yet the
helpful results are already plainly ap-
parent, and make very optimistic the
eachers responsible for the organiza-
ion of the teachers and parents of |
he county schools that more salts |

"CHRIST Is RISEN"-A JOY.
Gus EASTER MESSAGE.

Easter is the queen of festi-
walls. 1t is the commemoration of
a supreme historic fact, the rev.
elation of a supreme religious
truth, the inspiration of a SUI
preme spiritual consolation, the
force of Il supreme moral mo-
tive. OF Christ's resurrection
the apostles, the early disciples,
were witnesses. His death upon
the cross had filled them with
anguish and despair. But when
the news on that first bright Eas-
ter morning spread from lip to
lip, 1.-THE Lord hath risen, in
deed, and appeared unto Peter"
then was their sorrow turned
into a rapture of joy. The tu-
multuous notes of that great
Easter chorale have rolled
through all after ages their I'M
speakable gladness. That resur-
rection, that triumph over death,
has changed all the destinies
and frightened all the life of
mankind throughout the world
during the nineteen centuries
which since have passed.-Dean
Farrar.

ran and Galarza, both of the men hav-
offenses committed at Morenci. Mar
tinez is employed at the concentrator
of the A. c.. company, while Olguin
works at mining properties leased by
himself from the D. G. M. company.
The condition of the three injured
Mexicans is now held to be of such
nature that their recovery is consider
ed certain.
Attempts Suicide.
The excitement occasioned by the
complicated encounter of the early
morning hours was supplemented
early in the evening of the same day
by the abortive attempt of young
Mexican, Valente Vallin, to commit
because of the long blade of the knife
which was aimed at the heart striking
a rib, which was completely severed,
thus breaking the force of the thrust,
preventing the penetration of the
heart.
Just before the attempt Vallin with
his father had been talking to Officer
Keppler, and the latter advised the
young man to go to his home and con-
duct himself properly, he having be-
fore been acting strangely, else he,
the officer, would place him in pris-
on. Vallin apparently acted upon the
advice, but Immediately after leaving
the officer, who had entered his,
Keppler's residence, Vallin stepped
aside from the trail, and plunged the
knife into his breast.
1t is said that the difficulty was the
result of a fight about two years
since between certain of the relatives
of the men implicated in the difficulty
this week.
The cries of the father brought
Keppler, with large number of others
who under the direction of DR.. Stan
ton carried the stricken man to the
A. C. company's hispital. Upon
probing the wound, DR.. Stanton dis
covered that the heart had not been
penetrated, and after treating the
wound, sent the man to his home.
1t is said that the dependency of
Vallin was caused by his relations
with a young Mexican woman of the
camp, who has a husband who is sup
posed to be living in Mexico.

class of fifteen will be initiated that
night, and this phase of the meeting
will be followed by a smoker, plans
fol which include every arrangement
that will insure very pleasurable oc-

Farewell Entertainments

A happy and very widely attended
entertainment was that given at the
hotel of the Arizona Copper company
on the evening of Saturday, April 4,
by about one hundred citizens of the
camp in the honor of B. Cortiana,
who for many years has resided at
Morenci, where he has been engaged
in the work of contracting with the
copper companies, and who will soon
leave for Ell Paso, Texas, there to
permanently remain. To the accom-
paniment of refreshments of many
fold, speeches and toasts to Mr.. Cor
tiana were made throughout the even
ing, which was declared by all pres
emit to be prime among the entertain
mentrs ever held in the town.

EASTER BUNNY is OLD.
Not Frisky Young Animal, but One
with Very Ancient History.

Not a Frisky Young Animal, but One
with Very Ancient History.
| Next to the Easter eggs the bunny
maintains its place as the star Easter
novelty. To find out just how the bun
ny came to be associated with Easter
one looks away back to antiquity, for
the hare or rabbit has had unusual
I significance to many peoples.
In ancient mythology the hare's con-
| nection with the moon was well estab-
lished. Hindu tradition tells us that
while Indra was dying of hunger the
hare threw himself into the fire in or
/ der that the god might be provided
with a meal.
For this sacrifice he was translated
to the moon by the grateful Indra. In
Buddhist legend we again find him sac
rificing himself in order to provide food
for the hungry. Here again he was
translated to the moon, where the Hin
dus, japanese and Chinese still affect
to see him in the well known spots on
the disk.
The Chinese still, at their great moon
festival of the Yueping, exchange cakes
Of various sizes with relatives and
friends upon which are stamped fig
ures of hares crouching among the
trees.
In Morse mythology we had bunny
figuring as the train bearer and light
bearer of Freyja, the goddess of the
moon, and also identified with the Ro-
man goddess Venus, whose festival
was held at the beginning of April.
Freyja has also been identified with
the Anglican goddess Eostre or Ostara,
from whose name we derive our pres
emf term of Easter.
Ancient records will show that in the
seventeenth century no Englishman
thought his feast complete unless on
Easter day he ate fine big hare killed
for the occasion.
The hare by reason of its connection
with the moon became in a sense the
herald of a new life, the springtide.
From these several causes it has come
to be associated with the anniversary
of Christ's resurrection, and thousands
OF children too young to appreciate the
blessed truths that lie at the base of
the faith will nevertheless rejoice over
novelties in Easter Dummies.

Morenci,s Mutinous-

The nightly disturbances of the
more mutinous of Morenci's people
continues without abatement, the
hills and canyons of the town being
at many intervals made to echo the
sounds of the revolver firing. Whether
this firing is done with murderous in
tent in all instances, or merely to
crafty the shooters desire to observe
the operation of their weapons is not
known.

Woman Becomes Insane

Woman Becomes Insane
Officers were called Saturday night
to the northern portion of the town,
there to restrain a Mexican woman
who had become insane through over
indulgence in port wine, she in her
frenzy tearing quilts, and other artic-
les to pieces with her teeth. After a
confinement in the Morenci Jail, she
recovered sufficiently to permit the
officers to give her freedom.

Someone has advanced the opinion
that the letter "e'' Is the most unfor-
tunate letter in the English alphabet,
because 1t is always out Of cash, for
ever in debt, never out Of danger ana

he overlooked the fortunates OF tue

fact that se'' is never in war and al

mountain twenty miles north of here
Thursday afternoon when Cleve and
Robert Ross were killed by Edwin.
Harmon, Whittier and Robt. Bryant,
as result Of a grudge of long stand

From the meagre accounts OF the
trouble, it seems that all parties were
working the road, and apparently had
gotten along without any difficulty
Robt. Bryant came to work on the
road at noon, having finished his duty
for the day as mail carrier between
Tatesyille and Coalmont. When the
trouble started the Bryant boys sci
on the Ross boys and fierce combat
ensued, the Ross boys being overpow'
cred, 1t is reported that Robt. Bry-
ant did the killing, after the Roses
had been knocked senseless, shooting
one Of them thru the heart as ne lay
unconscious. They then took to tn'
woods and no arrests have been mao'
vet The country is very mountain
