PULLS PRECIOUS BADGER

Despite the vigilance of the s. P. c. A. and the efforts of the Good Government League, a large number of Clifton sports pulled off badger fight on Wednesday night in the rear of the Gem. Although the cruel sport has been condemned repeatedly yet the boys succeeded in putting one over occasionally, thereby making life worth living in this arid communi ty The fight of Wednesday night was a blody affair and was of short duration, the badger receiving a death wound as soon as he appeared from under cover. Betting was brisk and it is understood that several hundred dollars changed hands in the fight The dog was badly mutila- ted and it is doubtful if he will be able to fight again.
 The star performer who pulled the badger from his lair was Heinie Lind enstein, the only disinterested specta- tor in the crowd who had no money up on the fight. Swelled with pride and puffed up over the honor confer red upon him, he struck a pose that would have been the envy of an old time gladiator, and with tremend- ous pull, with nearly 200 pounds of brawn back of it, he brought forth the badger. After the dog had fin ished the animal, ,Lindenstein approach ed for better view and upon dis covering it's quivering cracass he ex- claimed in bewilderment, Was ist los?" Being of a bashful nature he was about to retire when he was col Jared by members of the crowd and reminded that the the drinks were on him.
 The boys then proceeded to the Gem bar where they were regaled with delicious root beer and other notwithstanding beverages, accompan jed by many a 'gesundheit'' to the fearless badger puller. Although MT. Lindenstein is still somewhat peeved the boys concede that he is a game l sport.

Baptist Church.

Sunday was a good day at the Baptist church. The attendance was the largest that it has been since + became pastor The music was good at both services. The people great ly enjoy Prof. Umfleets morning solo. The large chorus gave splen- did music for the evening service. It was the pastors pleasure to bury in baptism four happy young people at the close of the evening sermon. .. There are others to follow in this good way. The baptismal waters would be disturbed every Lordsday | if people followed their convictions.
 We should now go about our work enthusiastically and accomplish the things that need doing to make our church more potent as an influence for good in the community. We should have an ambition to serve mos largely and more efficiently the needs of all who come to worship with us. The church is the most potent and effective institution for good among men. The universal demand for the ministry of the church gives her first place in every self-reSpect- ing community. It is our business to make our church serve this need.
 We extend you special invitation to our services Sunday evening. The chorus will give you pleasure if you enjoy good singing. The pastor will bring a message from the subject, Girls Who Didn't Get h. Come and worship with us if you are not going elsewhere.
 JOHN w. BITTERLY, Pastor.

Ford Needs No DriXer-

Friday noon the car belonging to Undersheriff Gravely started down the street from in front of the jali where he had left it, and striking the culvert at the corner of the court house sidewalk made a turn to the right as nicely as if an experienced driver had been at the wheel. MT. Gravely thinks it a good idea for some one to donate a pair of hobbies so he can find his flivver when he is ready to go home. The runaway might have been caused by someone focling with the car as the brake was on and it was going slowly, but from the amount of booze flowing around this week one cannot blame even a Ford for taking a little excur- sion.

Meets Old Time Friend-

Perhaps one of the most surprised as well as delighted men in Clifton on Tuesday when the Fl Paso boosters reached town was Uncle Ben Craw- ford, who at that time met an old time friend in the person of Joe Waddell of Fl Paso. MT. Waddell is a Southern Pacific conductor of over 30 years continuous service and is in charge of the Pullman train which is carrying the Fl Pasoans on their long trip. He was lunch i'm pressed with Clifton and vicinity and while here the two gentlemen were kept busy in reviewing old time oc- currences. They hunted buffalo to- gether in Texas many years ago and tell tales that would put to blush the escapades of Buffalo Bill.

 I was at Goose Creek Tuesday. Went to San Leon yesterday. Drove down by bayshore route, going thru different water resort towns between Houston and San Leon. Shelled road all way from Houston to San Leon and from San Leon to Galveston. San Leon looks better to me for a bay shore resort than any place I saw be- tween Houston and San Leon. Was well pleased with my San Leon invest ment and with lots allotted me. Feel even better today than ever before Had long talk with husband of my niece here who said he sees no chance to lose on my San Leon investment whether oil is found or not. San Leon has water on three sides and pro- tected by high bluffs, and has the three-story hotel and school building as claimed. Will give detailed report in person upon my return and you may refer any San Leon purchasers to me and I will tell them just exactly what 1 have seen and how everything look ed to me.
