ATTACKED BY LIONESS.
Double Circle Ranch, Eagle Creek, Ariz ., Dec. 30, 1915 !

Double Circle Ranch,
 Eagle Creek, Ariz Dec. 30, 1915 Editor Copper Era,
 Clifton, Arizona,
 Dear Sir
 NIr. George Moore and a friend from Texas were out hunting with ldoss about two weeks ago. They were three miles from a ranch on Will low Creek, when the dogs treed some thing in a cave Moore was brave and entered the cave and was stoop- ing to strike a match to light his torch when a mountain lioness sprang on him, striking him fairly in the breast and they both went out of the cave and over precipice thirty feet high. Moore lit on his head and neck and was stunned for minute. His Texas friend fired his gun in the air and shouted, Look out, she's a. flying" The dogs tackled Mrs. Lion and she climbed a tree further down the canon, where she was easily shot. On searching in the neighborhood an other cave was found which contain ed four baby lions and they were cap tured, and taken to the ranch of J. U. Filleman where they were photo graphed George is now wet nurse to the little cubs, which are about tue size of large house cat, and has sent for cargo of condensed milk to raise them to the fighting size. Some of these COW punchers do make some queer remarks. One of them said that he couldn't see how white man could fall over a preci- pice thirty feet high and light on his head without injury, unless he had a negro ancestor Another was dis posed to doubt the tale about the match to light the electric torch. Al lowances should be made for the imaeina tion at such a stressful mo- ment.
 ! The first Christmas tree for Eagle was attended by all the people within ten miles and all professed to having a :olIy good time, the children especi- ally.
 Very truly,

automobile Gets Stuck

Automobile Gets Stuck
 Last Friday night one of the Cans Ter & Albrecht cars driven by Jack Albrecht became mired in a mud hole in South Clifton and it took the services of a team of horses to pull it on to firm ground. The water com pany had finished repairing one of the company mains and had covered the pipe with loose dirt which be- came huge mud hole with the melt irs snow and it was into this that the car was driven in the dark. The car was embedded in the mud over the axles and running board and vain efforts were made to get it out with the use of another machine. Ali ter this method had failed a team of horses was requisitioned and after considerable work the machine was liberated, no serious damage being done.

Elks Annual Ball.

Although decora- tions were lacking the pleasures of the evening more than made up for this discrepancy. There were about thirty-five couples in attendance, with a small delegation from Morenci. At ten o'clock the grand march was formed and was led by Exalted Ruler Peter Riley and Miss Moves followed by the other officers of the lodge and their ladies. During the evening favors of silk hats and horns were distributed and as the hour of mid might drew near serpentine confetti was used in profusion, the dancers as well as the floor being nearly covered
 On the stroke of twelve the old pro grams were put aside and the dance was turned over to the ladies in hon or of the new year being a leap year. 1 The ladies carried out the remainder 1 of the program with enthusiasm and the fun continued until a later hour ] Saturday morning. During the even i ing delicious punch was served and
 refreshments were enjoyed in the
 'rincess Confectionery. Another
 dance will be held at the Princess on
 the night of February 18th in honor
 of the class of candidates who will
 be taken into the order on Thursday

General Manager Patterson of the Wa
terville, Fairfield & Oakland Street Rail-
way Co. is having his troubles these
days in cndeavoring to give the people
of the city and surrounding towns the
service which it is the desire of the road
TO give. The company foresaw the big
rush which would come at this season
of the year and thought that they pre-
pared for it when early in the summer
they ordered new cars with an October
delivery date on them The cars did
not arrive and some weeks ago Manager
Patterson made trip to ST. Louis to
see why and found that at that time the
cars were practically completed and he
even then expected that he would get
them here before the Christmas rush.
but in common with about everything
else they have been held up and as re-
suit the road has been compelled to give
the best service that they could with the
limited rolling stock on hand The new
cars may come any day now and they
VIII be put in service the minute that
they arrive. and it is expected that with
them in commission the congestion will
be relieved and everyone who wants to
VIII have chance to ride.
