ueneo was exhonerated. According
to the Spaniard's story the shooting
was accidental. He claims that he
was sitting down cleaning the gun
and the deceased was watching the
process when the rag with which he
was cleaning it caught in the trigger
with the result that the gun went off
hitting Fernandez in the back and
killing him. 1t Is not understood how

Fourth of July Celebration

The committees for the Fourth of
perfecting arrangements for the day
and according to the program already
m view this celebration will eclipse
anything of a similar nature in previ-
Gus years. The two big companies

Germs are coming through hand
ssomly with contributions and up to
the present time there has been in the
neighborhood of $500 raised for the
purpose The celebration this year
will be held on Monday the 9Th and
will be especially for the benefit of
the women and children of the
town. Through the opportunities Of
many of the children of camp who.
appealed to J. NJ. Lally for good
time on this day he has taken it
upon himself to see that they have
their desire and it is more through
his fundamentally than any other
source that the celebration is now an
assured success. The fireworks this
year will not be upon such large
scale as formerly and perhaps not so
much will be devoted to prizes but the
money usually spent in this manner
will be diverted to other channels of
enjoyment of which the public will
reap the benefit The contests for
ladies' and children will take place
ON the school house plaza in the
morning and for this purpose $3.50 in
prizes has been offered. In the after
noon the other sports and athletic
events will take place on the ball
grounds and during the afternoon a
ball game will be played between
Clifton and Morenci for a purse OF
$50. The sports committee con-

Fire at Newtown-

Newtown witnessed another fire on
Sunday morning when the building
owned by Jose Teller and occupied by
him as a meat market caught fire
and considerable damage was done.
The contents of the market were
practically a total loss and only
for the fact that the building is con-
structed of stone it would have I'M
doubleday been burned to the ground.
A good force of water was available
and this together with the material
of which the store was constructed
saved it from entire destruction. 1t
is understood that the owner esti-
mates his loss at between $500 and
$4,000.
