 She was not only a most ostimable woman of the highest ideals, but she was true friend of Arizona.

A STATELY FIGURE"
w. N. Bell Cutting a Wide swath II
This Citv

Mounted on fiery white steed and
arrayed in a picturesque wild and
woody west costume, w. M. Bell, of the
New York Life Insurance company, OF
Las Vegas. recently OF Albuquerque,
presented a picture OF the true west
erner as few artists can paint. Many
a glance of admiration was shot at the
stately figure, riding gracefully
through the streets this morning. The
entire costume is the product OF the
tailoring department of the Rio Grande
Wooden Mills company. The coat Is
beautiful creation from dark rough
leather, profusely decorated with
fringe and lacing. The trousers are OF
a lighter color made most conspicuous
by the customary ornaments OF straps
and fringe. These parts Of the cos.
tune show In striking contrast with a
waist coat OF green leather and shin
ing brass buttons glitter in the sun
light. The costume Is most becoming
to the tall. we'll proportioned western
er. whose artistically bearded face Is
Swallowed by wide sombrero. Mr.
Bell and his custume will leave in q
few days for Arizona. where he will
insure the lives of all with whom he
comes In contact. He Is man Allied
with novel business ideas. and proba
bly, he uses this means to show the
people that their time has come to
take out insurance. But then Mr.. Bell
on close inspection. does not resemble
the terrible western bad man. He car
ries no weapons OF any kind except his
winning personality, which is out fol-
policies. His western outfit will TN
doubtedly create a sensation wherever
he goes.

jumper and cleared the parapet five
or six times before he went to his
doom. One of the bulls made a gal

The matador made direct thrust
on him as he charged. striking with
beautiful accuracy the artery under
