THE LOCAL SCHOOLS AND
 PATRIOTIC SERVICE,

From tme to time the papers here and there point with a degree of pride to the war work that is being done by their schools. It is only proper that our attention be direct ed to our own schools.
 Our schools while not boasting of their achievements have been instru- mental, directly or indirectly, in many valuable undertakings, notably the collecting of used postage stamps, the sale of thrift and War Savings Stamps, selling Red Cross stamps, aiding the Red Cross by making boxes, sewing and knitting, giving en- tertainments for different funds, rais- ing Smileage Book subscriptions Tor the entertainment of the soldiers in the cantonments, collecting funds for Y. M. c. A. and Y. W. c. A. organi- cations, distributing printed matter for the government, bringing public speakers before the people to discuss national topics of interest and infor- nation to the community, aiding in tabulating and filling out Government questionnaires, and in making written reports of investigations required by the Government.
 There is probably no body of stu cents and teachers in any school in the state who are more alert and responsive to appeals of the govern ment. and willing to lend their bit to aid in licking the Huns and humb- ing the bigoted and ambitious kaiser.

P0WERS-S SESSION OUTLAWS ARE CAPTURED BY BORDER PATROL NEAR HACH|TA, N. M,

The Powers -Sisson outlaws have come to the end of their rope in their sensational and spectauclar flight for liberty, after the trage- dy that ended the lives of three of Graham county's officials just one month go, when Sheriff Nc Bride and Deputies Mark R. Kempton and D. K. Wooten were ruthlessly slain, as they went in quest of Tom and John Powers, who were wanted by the Graham County officers for evading the selective draft. The story of the tragedy is still fresh in the minds of everyone, as is the sensational pursuit of 1900 men who took up the trail, and endured the hardships of the snow and inn penetrable fastness of the Chiri- cahua mountains.
 After weeks of vigilance the posse finally gave up the chase, and returned home, but a watch full vigilance has nevertheless been kept up by the officers of all the counties, hoping for some

speciI men are guarding the road all the way from here to Lordsburg, New Mexico.
 While the people of Graham county are necessarily indignant at the per petration of the tragedy for which the outlaws are now held, yet there is no disposition manifested in this county to interfere with the opera tion of the law.
 The information that lead to the capture of the men it is said was given by a lady residing on the "k" ranch, who informed the officers that three men had stopped at her home for something to eat, and who strong iy resembIed the outlaws.
 Sheriff Wheeler of Cochise county, who has never relaxed his vigilant pursuit of the bandits, was close on their trail, which forced them across the border where the troop of eavaI- ry rushed them and took them into custody, escape being impossible.
 In effecting the capture of the bandits the troop of cavalry ignored the boundary lines and penetrated the interior of Mexico for fifteen miles to get the much-wanted out laws. According to the informa- tion received here the capture was made about noon yesterday, (Friday)

Visits Clifton After Sixteen Years

Deputy Sheriff A. w. Howe, of Bis bee, was here last Saturday, coming for his prisoner, De la Torres, arrest ed here by the sheriff's force on a telegram sent by MT. Howe. He left for home Monday with his prisoner, who confessed to being guilty of the burglary for which he is charged in Cochise county. A portion of the booty was discovered, including a diamond ring which was in the pos session of his sister. Some of the stolen property was sold in Morencf. MT. Howe stated this was his first visit to Clifton in sixteen years, and expressed himself amazed at the inn provement which had been made in that time. His last visit here was with a ball team from his town, and the game was played on the lot on which the residence of General Man ager Carmichael now stands.

of the bandits that would expose them, that the chase might again be renewed with hope of better success, after the snows had disappeared from the mountains, which would en- able the pursuers to follow their trail without the difficulties pre- viously encountered.
 Fugitives Escape to Mexico.
 After the posse had been with drawn the fugitives made their way into Mexico, where they were seen by the border patrol of United States soldiers, who rushed and took them into custody. They were captured about 30 miles below Hachita, and 15 miles across the Mexican border.
 Sheriff Slaughter received private information yesterday (Friday) about one o'clock that the men had been captured, and to come to Hachita for the bandits. He left last night, ac- companied by deputies, and was join ed at Duncan by Sheriff Stewart and deputies, who accompanied them to Hachita. The bandits will arrive in Clifton this afternoon, Saturday, and be lodged in the GreenIee county jail.

CREENLEE PIONEER
 CLAIMED BY DEATH
FORMER RESIDENT OF GREEN LEE COUNTY, AND PIONEER
 BUILDER OF THE SOUTHWEST,
 DIES IN SWEETWATER, TEXAS

According to information reaching this city early this week, w. M. Plas- ter, former Arizona pioneer, passed away in a sanitarium at Sweetwater, Texas, last Monday, aged S9 years. He had been i'll for the past three years when he was stricken with paralysis and taken by friends to the Texas city, where death ended the career of one of the most useful citi- zens that ever claimed Arizona as his home. A son, now living in Color ado City, Texas, survives him.
 MT. Plaster was among the best known of the pioneers of this section of Arizona. He was familiarly known by friends and acquaintances as "Un- cle Bill,'' and for many years lived in and near this district. He was a veteran of two wars, having served in the Mexican war, and in the late unpleasantness that existed between the states. during the period of 1S61- 65, casting his lot with the Confed- eracy. In all matters pertaining to the development of this section of Arizona he was always most active, and always manifested a great inter- est in the politics of the state and nation.
 Uncle Bill'' Plaster came to Ari- zona in 1880, making his home for the first year in what was then a part of Graham county, but has since become Greenlee county. One year later he removed to Cochise county, where at the foot of the Huachuca mountains in what is known as the old Lowrey ranch, he made his head quarters, and started in the cattle business. Later, with Bill Green and R. M. Babe" Thompson, he entered Sonora, Mexico, and estab- lished headquarters at Bull Springs. It was from this move that the fam GUS and historic Turkey Track Cat tie company grew, and for years the three partners were actively interest ed in the cattle business together.
 Finally in 1910 Uncle Bill left Mexico and returned to his favorite Cochise county. He settled near Sod Town on the San Pedro, in 1910. and remained at this ranch until three years ago when he was stricken. Lee Hall and R. M. Thompson. his friends for many years, took charge of him then, and accompanied him to Sweet water, where he remained until death called him. He was born in Tennes- see, November 8, 1927, came to Texas when IA years old. and was through out his life a resident of the great Southwest.

Punch Boards Closed

No more will the festive sports who are willing to take a chance to lure the delusive cash by playing tie punch boards have an opportunity to manifest the gamblers instinct. This diversion is not in evidence in places where they were played until last M.nday. On that da. e.if Arthur SIauchi-r notified those woo were ;i"aring these punch boarns where cash were the prizes that the prac- tice must cease, and it is needless 10 say that his order were obeyed. All promptly discontinued the service of the money boards after having been requested to do so by the Sheriff

CLIFTON CHAPTER
 A WORKING BODY
SEVEN CASES OF SUPPLIES HAVE GONE TO HEADQUARTERS MAGAZINE WILL SOON REACH CRIBERS-BOOkS OPEN TO INSPECTION.

With the completion of the Christ mas drive did not mean that the Clifton Chapter had finished it's work and that the Greenlee organization would then lapse into a state of coma but on the contrary, it was the be- ginning of it's activities. During Feb ruary the Chapter shipped six cases of hospital and surgical supplies and one case of knitted goods, consisting of helmets, sweaters, mits, etc. The Morenci auxiliary sent in three of these cases of surgical supplies. while the Clifton ladies prepared three cases of surgical supplies and one case of knitted goods" stated Secre- tary A. W. Liddell Thursday. Be sides these supplies mentioned the Clifton ladies have sent to the Paci- fic Red Cross headquarters quite number of comfort blankets for the soldiers in the different cantonments."
 ''In regard to the Red Cross maga- zine, have had number of inquir- ies from members who are not re- ceiving the magazine. It is impossi- ble to reply personally to each of these inquiries, sd; I will be peased if the Copper Era will inform Red Cross members that just as soon as their subscriptions can be entered at headquarters the magazine will be started to their address, and when once commenced they will receive the periodical for one year from the date of it's first receipt. All should remember that it requires a large force of men quite a time to proper ly enter these names upon the sub- scription books. Then, too, the enor- nous amount of work required to be done by the Secretary of the chapter in this district, where so many have subscribed for the magazine. The work of the secretary could be sub- stantially lessened, and the business of the chapter greatly expedited, if other members would volunteer some of their time in assisting the secre- tary to dispose of this work.
 Just say to those who are not get ting the magazine to be patient short while and the magazine will show up in due time. Seven or eight printing establishments are, now busy getting out the magazine' and in due time every Red Cross member will be receiving the periodical.
 Another matter I desire the Cop per Era to mention, and that is to say that the books of the chapter are open to inspection at any time to those who wish to know how the funds of the organization is being ex- pended. In fact the chapter invites such inspection. When the public is informed in this matter, adverse criticism of the administration of its affairs will cease"

LUDENDORfF DROPPED
AS ARMY DICTATOR
Military Boss Is Ousted;; Reich
stag Votes For Civil Control

CoDenhagen, Oct. 2S.-General Lu-
dendorff, first Quartermaster general
of the German army has resigned.
A telegram from Berlin says: "The
kaiser has accepted Ludendortf re-
signation and decreed that the Lower
Rhenish infantry regiment, No. 30,
whose commander General Ludendorn
long had been, shall bear his name"
(While Won Ludendorff's title has
been that of quartermaSter general,
he has been regarded as the real COM
mander of the German army His re-
tirement, therefore, if officially CON
firmed, may be regarded as move
of the greatest Importance, probably
foreshadoWing significant changes IN
Germany's military policy. The re-
port of his resignation, it is WORTHY
to note, coming at the same time thaf
the Germans have made the most aIif-
bilious counter attacks they have az
tempted in several weekS.)
At the same time comes word from
Copenhagen, Denmark, that the reich
stag, by a great majority, has adopt
ed a bill placing the military command
under control of the civil government.
These events are regarded as fore
runners of the doom of Prussian mill
tarism. whether at the immediate
hand of the Germans themselves or
by the further defeat of the German
armies by the allies.
Ludendorff'S resignation means the
collapse of the German military NOR
ale. He is known to have been un-
tympathetic toward the last German
