The first of Clifton's community Christmas trees was marked sue cess from every standpoint. Notwith- standing industrial conditions in the district the children as well as their elders have never been so well meant more, especially to the needy. than ever before in the history of the town. The lookout committee spent no pains in ascertaining the needs of the deserving poor and desti- ute and as a result everyone was well supplied with necessities.
 The program as scheduled started at 1:3O on the plaza and was enjoyed by an immense crowd of men, wo- men and children, one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Clifton being present. A Mexican orchestra furnished music for the occasion while the ministers Of the different denominations made short addresses upon timely topics. The school children also contributed their share of the entertainment in the rendition of seasonable songs. At the con- clusion of the program the children marched to Riley's Confectionery where each one Was presented with bag of candy, Santa Claus being present to see that no one was over looked The old gentleman was also present at the exercises on the plaza where his presence was hail. ed with delight by the multitude of | little ones.
 After the exercises the older ones were directed to the Bon Ton ReStau- rant where by presenting their tickets they were entitled to a goodly portion of beef. ,I In this building the goods for distribution had been stored and the street in front was densely pack ed with humanity, each. one of whom was awaiting for a chance at his share Six beeves were killed and cut up into five pound packages each family receiving according to its size. There was enough to go around but not a bone, was left and if any. ione was slighted the fact was not made known.

WORK BEING RUSHED
 THROUGH
Under the Protection of Fifty U. S. Marshals Nearly 500 Refugees from Ire mean camn Are Rushing the 1sl@ Assessment Work to conple- :i n.

-4 s.r ;
 The annual assessment work on the outlying claims of the Detroit Copper Mining company is being rapidly pushing by force of 4S6 miners from the Duncan Refugee camp. under the protection of U. S. marshals. This action resulted from an injunction issued by Judge Saw telle, of the United States Federal Court at Tucson on last Friday against the unions of the district. In prepaf- ation of moving the men from the Duncan camp, U. S. Marshal Joseph Dillon and fifty deputies arrived in Morenci Sunday afternoon and pro ceeded at once to cover the district with notices of the injunction in En- glish and Spanish to restrain them from interference with the progress of the work in accordance with the courts orders.
 On Monday afternoon special train conveyed to Morenci 296 men from the Duncan camp. A large crowd was congregated on the plaza to meet the train when it arrived The deputy marshals were strictly on the job and kept the crowd back opening an isle through the crowd while the men from the refugee camp marched to the Morenci Club No dis orders of any kind occurred and the deputies had no trouble in keeping things quiet. It was thought that upon the arrival of the men that some of the more violent of the strikers would start serious trouble, but owing to the wise counsel of the more conservative members trouble was iforestalled. On Tuesday afternoon another special train brought 250 more men to Morenci from Duncan, making in all total of 4S6 who the next morning went to work on the claims.
 It is understood that on Christmas day the D. c. M. Co. posted notices around Morenci offering the job of doing the assessment work to their old employees at s5 per day and out of the odd thousand strikers there only IA reported for work It was then that the company sent to Dun- can for the men to do the work One of the refugees attempted to make an anti-union speech when Marshal Dill lon immediately arrested him and confined him in the Morenci jail. It is anticipated that more or less minor troubles will likely occur be- tween the strikers and the refugees while the assessment work is in progress but it is thought the federal officers will be able to cope with the situation unless they become of such proportions as to get beyond their control, in which case federal troops would be brought into the district to take charge of the situation. Marshal Dillon is treating both factions with out fear or favor and will carry out the order of the court in a conscien- tious manner.
 It is thought that the assessment
 work will not take over two weeks to complete.

WILD HORSES ARE NOW VALUABLE
 ANIMALS

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 25.- Wild horses, which are numerous in parts of Arizona, where ranchmen shot and killed them a few years ago in order to make more room for sheep and cattle, are now so valuable that cow boys on ranches there are spending considerable time capturing them. R. R. Smith, a ranchman with headquar ters at Navajo, Ariz., who operates in a wild section of that state ad joining the Navajo Indian reservation, who passed through Kansas City with shipment of range horses from that section, bound for the State of Missouri, reported that many wild horses are being captured, tanned and broke for saddle and other purposes there.
 The wild horse is not very easy to capture." MT. Smith said Its haunts are in the foothills, seldom be- ing found in the high attitudes. They are more easily captured in the spring than in the summer or fall, owing to the fact that frequently in the Spring they are weak, so that the cowboys with good saddle horses can run them down. They are just as wild as deer and are on the lookout all the time for enemies just as other wild animals found in the mountain range country there. I have seen cowboys run down several fast sad. dle horses in an effort to capture one of these horses, and then fail. When captured and broke, they are very hardy and useful on the ranches for saddle purposes. On large ranches a nnmbar of horcoc muSt he kent in llSe at all times, as many as a half dozen for one man, as they are riding all the time and must make frequent changes. When the cowboys start af- ter wild horse, the animal invariably heads for high point where there is brush and the ground rough. He can leap over places where the horse car rying man cannot cross, fact which the wild animal seems to un- derstand, and so makes his escape. =

without parallel in this war or any

have not yet been learned, 1t is known
that first came the long pursuit. Accord
ing to the admiralty report, tho aeroplane
was 5000 feet up and to reach this alti-
tude would require nearly twenty miles.
The Zeppelin could drive forward about
fifteen miles.
Then followed the maneuvering for
position and finally the dropping OF the
bombs, from which the dirigibie tried
vainly TO escape. Minor explolaons, oc-

and the Zeppelin burst into flames.
At that moment Warneford must have
been close over the dirgible, for almost
simultaneously with the outburst. his
machine turned completely over, and for
a moment he hung head down, with his
monoplane, all control of which had been
lost, pitching and tossing in the swift
currents Of air, which rushed UP to fill
the vacuum created.
