 Clifton-At last the toll of battle had been paid by Greenlee. One of the boys who went to the front to fight for the safety of mankind against the brutality of the Hunnish hOrdes, has given his life in humanity's cause. The wars casualty list has reached our own homes, and before the peace of the world shall have become a real ity many other homes in Greenlee may be saddened by the loss of some loved one who has given his life for his country. The first of Greenlee's sons to suecumb to the terrible war god is Willie Lee McCullOch, son of Mir and Mrs. J. G. McCullOch of Duncan. News of his death was received by his par ents last Thursday, and the same day the sad tidings reached Clifton.
 Florence.-That R. B. Sims, warden of the Arizona penitentiary, recently made a trip east in behalf of a pro posal to have a unit of patroled con victs enrolled in the United States army is shown by his statement in re- gard to the plan made in Fl Paso. MT. Sims, however, did not meet with en- couragement in his plan, but he said the failure to carry it through was not in any way due to a lack O. patri- otism on the part of the cOnyicts. T have found that precedent is against the plan of having a unit of conYicts in the army" MT Sims said.
 T do not believe that the plan will be tried, although I have found much favorable comment on the scheme. It would have given cOnvicts who were paroled by state authorities and whose records hae been investigated by federal authorities a chance to fight in the present war.
 Phoenix.-While in the act of mex ing a flying" switch at MaricOpa yes terday afternoon, Freight Brakeman Dixson of Tucson fell under the wheels of a string of moving cars, the wheels of about ten cars passing over his lett leg He also suffered severe bruises and decorations about his body The injured man was rushed to Phoenix on the evening train and taken to the Sisters hospital in J. T. Whitneys ambulance. He was placed on the operating table shortly after his arrival at the hospital and the in iured leg amputated. It is said that his chances for recovery are good. Dixon is employed by the Southern Pacific. The train dispatcher's office here said last night that that office received a request to have Dixon brought here for treatment.
 Sharpe's heading in Im- perial valley was washed out Sunday night and the entire western portion of the valley, including the Fl Cen tro. Imperial and Brawley sections. is without water and will be forced io remain dry till the damage is repaired, an operation that will take from four days to a week.
 The intake at Hanlon's heading at Andrade is closed. It was reported last night.
 Divers are working at Sharpe's heading. and the full extent of the damage done had not been ascertained yesterday.
 Deprivation of water at this time of the year. even for week, will work great hardship on those who have not irrigated recently.
 The city of El CentrO was reported yesterday Co have but four days water supply on hand, with the prospect of a possible six-day delay before the res ervoirs would receive more from the water system.
