so we generally wait for the arrival
of papers from the states to read the
exciting news.
l also notice in the papers from the
states that they often contain lengthy
articles about US wine-soaked, vice
ridden, Notwithstanding boobs who
have cast our lot with the allies so
that they can live in the states in
peace and harmony and hold down a
nice fat job on the Chautauqua cir
cult or in the pulpit, and it certainly
fills us with rage every time we read
one of the said articles. But the thing
that makes US the maddest is the fact
that we couldn't be bad, wild men If
we wanted to. Over here every little
offense that in peace times would
mean a couple of days in quarters, is
a general court martial, and if there
is one thing in all the world an
American soldier breads it is G. G.
M. Last week the general of this
division sent out special order to
every company, giving the soldiers
the dickens because they had arrested
about 10 men in one week, out of the
many that are here, for being slightly
intoxicated (not drunk. Anyway, the
fact remains that we are about ten

From Howard Steward

At Sea, U. S. S. Saturn, April 81
Dear Dad and Mother-We left FRS
CO week ago today. Seven days at
sea and we have seen only one ship.
We have two days more and then our
journey is ended, for a time at least.
Yesterday, April 26, in early morning,
our lookout watch sighted ship three
points to the port, so the radio tried
to get into communication with her.
She gave her name as the Berlin, and
then quit. You can imagine the re-
sult-a German name and would not
answer a radio! The captain imme-
diately ordered the decks cleared for
action and full speed ahead. When
we got within about 5000 yards of her
she answered our signal, and then the
radio got busy and we found out she
belonged to the Alaska Packing Co.
We thought sure we had some fun
coming up, but no such good luck.
The first three days l was so darned
sick | could not eat a bite. Still /
continued to feed the fish, but l am
over that now and feel fine. Only
lost IL pounds in three days, but be-
lieve me, will make it up and more
too We have Is men from Mare
Island Naval yards who are going up
on repair work at the various radio
stations. One of the men and | were
talking the other night about Idaho,
and come to find out he and his broth
er (who is assistant manager of the |
Pin road at Weiser) and the late D. |
A. Hawkins, all came to Idaho to-
gether. He knew D. A. long time,
but did not know he had passed over.
April 2S-Not much doing today but
work. We are nearing land. Ducks
and shore birds are becoming more
numerous every day, and besides we
are due in Dutch Harbor tomorrow.
April 29-Dropped anchor at Dutch
Harbor, or Unalaska, this morning.
Worked like mad all day getting the
stores and supplies ashore. Went over
1T night and saw the Siwashes and the
lily, then went down with a Stanford
professor and took look
1t 500 sheep they are experimenting
With. They have wintered out and look
inc. This is certainly quaint old vii !
age. They have queer habits and
Houses.

One more month and we will be

Fifteen balls was cnch for him-ffteen balls

One ball loose from the bunch a bit, and the

He was great combination, and great on

He'd make those pool balls talk to him when he
started handlin' a cuel

For Doctor Wilcox wanted to bet he'd die of the

CLIFTON RIFLE CLUB
 To SHOOT NEXT SUNDAY

The Copper Era is requested to state that the Clifton Rifle Club will resume it's regular practice shoot on next Sunday. The hour will be 10 O. clock in the morning, and all mem- bers are urged to be on hand.
 In the past these meets have been both pleasant and beneficial, and created quite an interest. There is every reason why many should take advantage of the opportunity to be- come members of this rifle club, as the draft now practically takes in the larger portion of the male population, and all will find that the knowledge gained in marksmanship, and the handling of rife will not be lightly considered when they go to the train ing camps.
 The new registrants should attend the shoot next Sunday, and try out their skill again, as many, doubtless, have not handled rifle in years. The meet will be held on the clubs rifle range.

RESIDENCES RAlDED
 VALUABLES APPROPRIATED

It is reported that several resi- dences were raided in Metcalf We'd nesday night, and considerable prop erty appropriated. Just how much. and who were the victims is not known, but it is stated that eight or ten residences were entered.
 Perhaps the same thief visited Cliff ton Thursday morning, but only one residence in this place is known to have been visited by this prowler, but he gathered in a nice haul at the home of J. F. McNeil. Mrs. McNeil is absent in California, and none were at the house at the time, which is supposed to have been early in the forenoon. Most of the articles taken at this residence were jewelry, ex- cept two war saving stamps of $5. % each. Among the articles known to have been taken is a diamond ring belonging to Duncan McNeil, which was valued at $400. He stated that the loss is estimated at approximately $500.
 The thief entered the house by cut ting the wire screen on the back door Money left in the pockets of clothing was not molested, but the whole house was ransacked. No clue so far, has been found.

 zona, who, after purchasing Liberty
 Bonds, War Savings Stamps, con-
 tributing to the various camp welfare organizations and adopted two war orphans, enlisted in the United States army when the age limit was raised to permit voluteers over 46 and un- der 55 years. While MT. Kane is g.
 grandfather, no one would suspect it from his appearances.

FIND F BOMBS
 HIDDEN IN JEROME

1 Jerome, Sept. 25.-Four Mexicans, believed to have been of the five who on Monday waylaid and killed Horace Harrison, acting chief watchman for ] the United Verde, today were captur- ed near Camp Verde by a posse led by Deputy Sheriff Dickerson.
 Two of the Mexicans had entered Camp Verde after food. Dickerson and his men trailed them to their Camp several miles from Camp Verde where the other two Mexicans were found. All four were taken into custody They were armed. Being unable to give a satisfactory explanation of their pres ence in that part of the country, they were brought to Jerome.
 Investigation proved that the shoes of the four Mexicans fitted into the footprints of the mne who fled after killing Harrison. Although the Mexi- cans had stated to the officers that they were going on foot to Roosevelt in search of work a search of the quar ters, occupied by them in Jerome be- fore thep left revealed all their cloth ing and personal effects
 About the same time it was reported to the officers that a Mexican had been seen hiding a suit case under OuS Ol IhS CdHlp UuiluluSS or tue OnlC- ed Verde property. A search reveal ed the suit case, which when opened was found to be filled with nine home made bombs. These were construct ed from evaporated milk cans, each if which wast loaded with 1-2 sticks of dynamite wired together and the intervening spaces filled with nuts, bolts and slugs. The bombs all had one-m1nute fuses attached. Later, ad- ditional bombs, all of the same con- struct1on, were found in an outhouse in the Mexican area recently destroy ed by fire and directly behind the main street of the town.
 Troops on the Way.
 To prevent further bloodshed as result of race feeling over the affair with Mexicans at Jerome early Mon- day morning, detachment of federal troops is being rushed to Jerome to- day. This is in response to a call for troops sounded by Jerome authori- ties following the trouble last Mon day, in which two persons were kill ed and two others seriously wounded
 The detachment, under command of Maj. Reedy, passed through Phoe- nix early this morning, having trav- eled overland from Globe, where they were stationed, last night. The men and officers arrived in Phoenix at 6 o'clock this morning. Fifty men and three officers were included in the de- tachment, the officers being Maj. Reed and Lieuts. Burns and Turnburke.

HUMAN REMAINS FOUND
 ON EAGLE CREEK SUNDAY

Last Sunday the remains of hu- man cadaver was found on Eagle Creek, but in such state that inden- tification was impossible. Just who died in that locality still remains a mystery, as no one has been reported missing in that section.
 It could not be ascertained just how the man came to his death, but small bird shot was discovered in the sur face of the bones. All the flesh had been eaten away by rats or other ani- mals. and his clothing and shoes, about number Il, were gnawed so badly that only the soles remained in tact. From the condition of the soles of his shoes they were evidently new when death overlook this unfortunate as they showed very little wear.
 Near the skeleton was small sum of money, so it is not thought that robbery was the motive if the nan was murdered. Nothing rema,l.m by which he could ie identified, and uho he was. or how he came to his death will hardly be krown. .

WHAT CATARRR IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates general weakness of the body and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors only irritate and do little if any good.
 To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building tonic, free from any harmful drugs. It is helping thousands. Try it.

SPOKANE WOMAN GAINED 40 POUNDS
ELECTRICAL TREATMENT AND EVERYTHING ELSE FAILED TO HELP HER-TANLAC RESTORES HER

There, that is what I have been looking for the past six months now for my sister," said Mrs. Vi Legault, who resides at 221 1-2 Post St., Spo- kane, Wash, pointing to the big Tan lac display in Murgittroyd's Drug Store, recently.
 | My sisters sealth has broken down Mrs. Legault continued, ''and I firmly believe Tanlac will fix her up as it did me three years ago"
 Before took it I was suffering from complication of-ailments which had resulted in nervous prostration. My troubles all started from a bad stomach and I was in pitiable con- dition. Everything ate would sour 1 causing me such awful pains in the pit of my stomach that I could hardly stand it. My nerves were in a bad shape. I was badly constipated and even now I hate to think of the terri ble headaches I had. I also suffered from weakness and pains in my right side, which was the worst kind of tor ture. Electrical treatment and every thing else was tried on me, except an operation, which I refused to stand for, but nohting did me any good. I had always weighed around one hun dred and forty eight pounds, but my suffering pulled me down to one hun dred and twelve, and I was scarcely more than a frame. really had no desire to live as my case seemed to be hopeless.
 Well some wonderful things hap pen in this world, and my recovery is one of them. I picked up a paper one day in Detroit, Michigan, where I was living at the time, and read Tan lac testimonial given by lady who lived but a short distance from me, and right then I decided to try Tan lac. The results I obtained are noth- ing less than remarkable. My appe- i tite soon came back, my stomach got so I could eat and digest my food and every one of my troubles gradually i left, and the first thing. I knew I was regaining my lost weight and strength After using five bottles of Tanlac I dred and fifty4two pounds actually gaining forty pounds making several pounds more than had ever weighed before, and although it has been near ly three years now since Tanlac re- stored me have never been bothered with any of my old troubles to this good day, and I have he!d my weight always weighing around one hundred and fifty pounds. So you can see why I have been so anxious to find Tanlac for my sister. I am going to let her know right away where she can get it. am glad to give this statement, for the best way I know to pay the debt of gratitude I owe Tanlac is to tell others how it has made life worth living for me-"
 Tanlac is sold in Clifton by Clifton Drug Co.,, in Duncan by Elk Drug Store, in Morenci by Arizona Copper Go. Ltd, and in Guthrie by Brown & Beck, and in Metca1f by Bianes and Valdez. Adv.

Up to the present the Greenlee contingent have not become immune to the se- ductive influences of the Great White Way" We are designated the Tough Bunch,'' probably because we are from Cody. But can't say that we suffer any in conveniences therebp. as we have about the best outfit in this camp.
