Winslow Indian Murder.

A~e'oe ">~N WV Eoch''A~N ~ special telegram which was sent from Winslow to the Journal Democrat about the killing of a Navajo woman and her children. It seems, on further information that the aforesaid special was sent in before anyone knew the particulars, consequently there was no true statements in the telegram.
 The facts arc these: A son of Christmas" the Indian who did the shooting came in and told of the killing of his mother and two children. Sheriff Secrist, who was assessing in Winslow at the time, formed a posse and started for the scene about 5:3O in the afternoon, but when dark ness came on they lost the trail and had to return, but went out the next morning. Upon arriving at the cabin they found the woman and her baby had been shot, and from the location of the wounds it is supposed the mother was holding the baby in her arms. The mother and child were buried near the house, and 1.-Two Whiskers," a brother of the woman, was deputized by Sheriff Secrist to get two other Indians and hit the trail, with instructions to bring the mur- dercr in when found, but 1.-Two Whiskers" said he would shoot him on sight, thereby relieving the county of any further trouble in the matter, and the Indians idea of getting rid of such fellows is about correct.
 Coroner J. F. Mahoney held an inquest and the jury rendered the following verdict:
 We, your coroner's jury, em- paneled to investigate the cause of the killing of a Navajo woman and her babe, about fifteen miles south of Winslow, and after in- vestigating, find that the woman, "Talk-a-Little," and her babe came to their death from the re- suit of gunshot wounds inflicted by thelr husband and father. (Signed) w. A. Parr, foreman; D. E. Hanks, F. P. Secrist, E. J. Wolff, Everet Carter G. E. Gil more.
 The statement was made ill the telegram that Marshal Hen ley had formed the posse, was still on the trail, etc., when ill reality he had nothing to do with : it, and it is only justice to Sheriff Secrist to make the above cor rections, in as much as he was on the ground and attending to the duties of his office.

tai gradually, through social gossips,

THE BIOGRAPH FAD.

The Moving Picture Machines Give
Them the Opportunity of Seeing
Themselves In Various Poses
as others See Them.

Almost every day one seems to be
finding fresh sensations Tor society
to indulge in. The very latest tad in
London is to go to biograph photo
graphic studio In Regent street and
there be taken in moving picture.
HALF the smart women of London
have already been or intend to be
taken that way. There is very real
istic group of Lady Grosvenor and
her daughters. They are all repre-
scented as sitting at an afternoon tea
table and are all dressed in dark
costumes. There are also separate
portraits Of Lady Grosvenor and
Lady Shaftesbury. A most excellent
production is charming portrait Of
Julia, Lady Tweeddale, wearing q
light dress, with a very large toque,
but perhaps the most attractive Of
all is set representing the children
of the duke and duchess of Cornwall
playing soldiers, with little flags and
other paraphernalia of war.
By the way, people are having their
portraits taken more than ever, and
fashionable photographers are re-
joicing that they never were SO busy
as now. Several well-known women,
such as Mrs. Farquharson, of Inver-
cauld; Lady Musgrave and Lady Ed
monston, have their ohildren's por-
traits taken every month and place
them IN a book entitled "Baby's Al
bum," thereby enabling them to keep
q record of the growth Of their olive
branches.
