 Mrs. Annie M. Weightman Walker
 who recently inherited 560, 900, GOO
 through the death of her father re-
 sided one or two winters in Phoenix, where she purchased a residence.
 When through with the residence she
 made a present of it to one of her ac-
 quaintances there. William Weight man, her father was a resident of
 Philadelphia and she was his only
 child. By this inheritance she is
 rated as the wealthiest woman in the
 world and then just to think of it; she was formerly a resident of Ari-
 zona.
 l This week J. P. Somers circulated
 petition which secured the sigma
 lures of nearly every one in the com
 munity, asking that the governor pardon from the penitentiary one
 "Billy" Kirk, who was sentenced from Williams about fourteen months ago. "Billy" had had an argument
 with big George Wagner and fired shot from his revolver through the floor of local saloon, presumably to scare Wagner. The latter thought at the time that Kirk meant him bodily harm but time and absence has soft ened his feelings for "Billy," and George was the first one to affix his signatarue asking for the pardon. Ac- tion will be taken by the governor about the first of September. Mir. Somers, after doing what he could here, sent the petition to Flagstaff, where Recorder Hibben took it up and forwarded it to the governors office. Williams News.
 Two children visited an uncle in jail at the court house yesterday. The uncle had been put in jail be- cause it was suspected that he would be candidate for sheriff unless he was headed off by incarceration. The babies did not care why he was there. He was their uncle and a great big man. True it was stupid of him to stay in that dark place and never come out on the green lawn to play, but grown folks often do insane things and expect babies to overlook their idiosyncrasies. These babies fully pardoned him, and every other pris- oner in the county jail crowded around to see if they could not be pardoned also. It is always that way when a child enters the corridors of the jail. Every prisoner follows the little people with hungry eyes as long as they are there and when they are gone it is like light that has fallen on the place and will not fade for hours. s.-Republican.
 Little Eva Harkin, the six year old | daughter of MT. and Mrs. D. Harkin, | has had a most unfortunate experience i this summer. Last Friday, while | riding burro on Marina street with another girl behind her, on the same Joe Dilon's bull dog ran out | at the animal frightening it so that it jumped out from under the girls and [ in falling the Harkin girl sustained a compound fracture of her left fore arm, the bones of which protuded through the flesh. Dr. J. R. Walls was summoned and set the broken bones and she is getting along very nicely. This accident would seem to be enough for one little girl for one but she had already ex- perienced two others previously, in each of which her right arm was broken so that she has a record of having had her right arm broken twice and both bones of her left arm broken once during the summer.
