Death of Drue Underwood

Harry Wright is in receipt of
letter this week from the father of
Drue Underwood at Denton, Texas,
stating that Drue had died in Bel
mont, California, at sanitarium
where he had been confined for sew
eral months. His death occurred on
July Goth and the body was taken to
his old home in Denton for burial.
Deceased, who was Al years of age,
had been in poor health for number
of years having suffered ptomaine
poisoning three years ago and which
later developed into a severe case
of laryngitis and this in turn de-
veloped into consumption. Mr.. I'm
derwood left Clifton last March for
Tucson where he underwent treat
ment for the disease and was ON the
road to recovery when he left for
California and complications set in
which necessitated his confinement in
the Belmont sanatorium, death re-
sulting a short time later. He came
to this district in 1900 where he re-
sided continuously until last March.
He was mining man by profession
and at different times was identified
with various mining interests in the
Clifton-Morenci district, among which
were the Gold Belt and Polaris COM
panies. Mr.. Underwood was also
connected with the forest service for
two years but on account of failing
health was obliged to resign. He
had wide acquaintance IN this
district where he was well liked by
everyone who knew him and his
death will come as matter of deep
regret to his friends and those more
closely associated with him in life.
He was charter member of Clifton
Lodge No. liza B. P. o. Elks.

Moose Give Banquet

Moose Give Banquet
The local lodge of Moose were en-
tertained to a banquet on last Fri
day, night at their lodge rooms. There
were plenty of good eats and the
principal beverage of the evening
was Pablo, which invigorates but
does not inebriate. The Moose hold
regular meetings once month but
as is usual with all lodges at this
time of year their attendance is not
what could be desired, however, not
withstanding that fact goodly num-
Der were present on Friday evening
and did full justice to the good things
set before them.

CHARGES AGAINST
COUNTY. SUPT.
DISMISSED
Embezzlement Case Against County
School Superintendent is Heard in
Justice MeWiIIiams Court On We'd
nesday.

Justice of the Peace McWilliams'
court was occupied Wednesday in the
hearing of the embezzlement charge
against County School Superintend.
ent ]. w. Aker brought by State
Auditor Johnson. The case was
begun at 10 o'clock and after an ad-
journment for lunch was resumed in
the afternoon. L. C. Hardy, of the
Attorney Generals office, represent
ed the State while Attorneys Lynch
and Ling looked after the interests
of the defense.
A complaint was sworn to on June
23rd by State Examiner Johnson
while he was in Clifton at that time
for the purpose of auditing the
books of the county officers. At
that time Mr.. Johnson states that
he found the County School Superin-
tendent's office short $704.9 of the
school funds which amount is claim
ed to have been returned to the coun-
ty school fund for books purchased
from the Mcneil Co., of Phoenix. The
first complaint, which was sworn to
on the 23rd of June, was withdrawn
for the purpose of revision, and on
the oath a new complaint was filed,
this being later dismissed. In the
meantime, between the filing of the
first and second complaint and without
the knowledge of Mr.. Johnson, it is
stated that Mr.. Aker had deposited
the amount of $7O4 SO with the
county treasurer, thus making good
the shortage.
On Sept. 4th the third complaint
of embezzlement in the sum Of $704.-
SO was filed against Mr.. Aker at the
instigation of State Examiner john
son, which resulted in the hearing of
last Wednesday. F. T. Alkire, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Mcneil Co., of
Phoenix, and Mr.. Pistor, chief clerk
of the Valley Bank, of Phoenix, were
material witnesses for the state as
was also w. E. Kelly, cashier of the
State Bank of Metcalf. After the
hearing of exhaustive testimony on
both sides of the case Justice McWil-
liams ordered it dismissed.
Although it was pointed out that a
slight irregularity, however not illegal
had been made by Mr.. Aker in max
ling out the warrants, no criminal in,
tention was shown and whereas the
prosecution contended that Mr.. Ake1
had deposited the funds to his per
sonal credit in the Metcalf bank, il
was found from the testimony of Mr.
Kelly that at the time Mr.. Aker de
posted the draft from the Mcneil
Company he made special mention
of the fact that it was not a persona
account. No intention of misappro
priation on the part of Mr.. Akel
was brought out at the hearing ant
after reviewing the facts Justice Nc
Williams dismissed the charge.
