ST. David Will
Have Efficient
Ditch System

Work of reconstructing the ST..
David Canal is progressing rapidly
and will probably be completed
within a month. When the work
is completed St. David will have
one Of the best irrigating canals
ever constructed in the San Pedro
valley.
The ditch is being made wider
and will carry several times the
amount of water that the previous
ditch did. The headworks have
ali been reconstructed and made
proof against washouts. The ditch
has also been protected against
washouts.
The principal feature that has
held back the development of the
st. David country for>the past few
years has been the lack of irri
cation water at the needed time.
With the completion of the work
that is now qnder way this will be
eliminated and St. David will once
more come to the front.

e
Case M0yGOtO
Jury Today

From appearances in the famous
Clinton murder case in which Scar
borough is being tried for murder
! ia the superior court at Tombstone,
It was thought yesterday that the
case would 90 to the jury today.
The defendant has been on the
witness stand mostly all of We'd
nesday and Thursday giving his
direct testimony and in cross ex-
animation.
Scarborough stated he went to
the ranch to see Clinton about a
COW he had seen him take early
that evening and that he went over
there for the purpose Of talking
over the matter with Clinton. He
stated he got Cal Cox to accom-
pany him but that he did not tell
Cox what he was going over there
for, and that Cox did not know
what he went for. He stated that
after he went over to the Clinton
place he left Cox on the outside
and called Clinton cut and started
TO talk to him, and that Clinton
said, Mamma, bring the, gun and
we will get rid Of one of the wit
snesses."
At the same time Clinton grabb-
cd him by the left arm, he pulled
bis gum from the small scabbard
that he had in the pocket Of his
chaps and fred three shots at
Clinton. At that time Scarbor-
ough said he heard a door close.
He had the gun in his hand and
accidently pulled the trigger, hitt-
ing Clinton the fourth time. He
demonstrated with one Of the iur-
ors as to the manner in which
Clinton grabbed him at the time.
The cross examination is being
conducted by Attorney Wm.
