Union Services
 The churches of Clifton worshipped in union at the school auditorium last Sunday evening. Owing to the late ness in arranging program this ser vice was not included in the religious announcements of the Copper Era last week. A splendid musical pro- gram was prepared for the occasion, and the choir was composed of male and female voices. The duet by Mes. danes J. A. Davis and Raffeison was most sweetly sang. and greatly enjoy ed by the audience. The meeting was conducted by Rev. J. R. Sawyer, pas tor of the Methodist church. It was preface to the Red Cross drive which began Monday, and the patrIo- tic address was made by MT. U. L.. Guy, Y. M. c. A. secretary. Rev. Cecil V. Overman of the Baptist church, delivered the sermon on this occasion. This was highly edifying and most appropriate for the occas. ion.

It is not stated just what action will be taken against him for having the booze in his pos. session, but the liquor was loaded in two trucks and brought into town, and the two trucks were well loaded. Much of this stock shows to be 30 years of age, and the condition of the packages indicates that it is of an- cient vintage.

DoiNGs OF A WEEK IN

The Superior Court completed the criminal docket last Wednesday, and the juries were discharged. The fol- lowing cases were disposed of: ..
 Friday Attorney c. Hooker appear ed as attorney for Matilda Lamas, who was charged with violating the liquor laws.. and a jury returned verdict of not guilty.
 Saturday, Francisco Zorillo and Jesus Hernandez were put on trial for bootlegging, and each drew a sentence of fourteen months at hard labor, and a fine of $200.
 Monday and part of Tuesday was consumed in trying the cases styled the State of Arizona vs.' George John- son and John Sutherlin, charged with grand larceny. The jury brought in a verdict of acquittal.
 Miguel Munoz, the Mexican who was captured at Port Huron, Micn., and for whom Sheriff Slaughter made the trip to that city, was tried for the murder of a Mexican in Morenci in 1916. He was found guilty of man. slaughter, and sentenced for 8 to 10 years. Attorney c. Hooker was ap- pointed by the court to represent the defendant, and his verdict of man. slaughter is complimentary to this attorney, as the evidence was very strong.
 The case against Joaquin Esteves, charged with assault with a deadly weapon,was dismissed upon motion of the county attorney, for insufficient evidence.

Clifton Quota More Than Doubled
 That Clifton's quota is way over the top in the Red Cross drive was guar anteed early this week. But the fund received boost this morning that makes the sky the limit now, and it is not known just how high it will go. The donation came from the Ari- zona Copper company, through it's general manager, MT. Norman Car michael, who swelled the fund by donation of $5,000. .00, which was credited to Clifton quota. This guar antees Clifton's quota to be more than doubled.

FIVE PLACES TO REGISTER
 IN GREENLEE COUNTY JUNE 5

The machinery is all in motion. ready for the draft on June 5th, when the young men who have become 11 years of age since the last draft, win have to come forward and register. The local board addressed the adju- tant general requesting permission tc, establish registration booths in every voting precinct, to the end that the work oftaking the registrations might be facilitated with dispatch. In fact registrars have heretofore been ten tatively appointed, with the expecta- tion of carrying out this plan. It is believed by the members of the board that this would be of considerable convenience to many who will have to travel quite distance over rugged country, unless the boths were install ed nearer their homes. This plan has been turned down. Secretary Calli- cotte yesterday received communica- tion from the adjutant general in which he arbitrarily establishes only five places where the men subject can register. Duncan, Clifton, Mo- renci, Blue and Eagle. All will have to register at one of these five places. It is immaterial where the young man registers-but he must register on June 9th.
 The following gentlemen have been named as registrars at the respective n1aces.
