Crosby Man is Missing.

A week ago last Saturday j.
w. Edwards, the colored gentle
man living over in 80 came to
town after provisions. To Mr..
Hinshaw he stated he was i'll and
asked for some water and aglass
in which to take some medicine.
He started home in the afternoon
and the next day the horse was
found by his cousin and her
daughter near the house. The girl
is reported to have frozen her
hands quite badly in unhitchlng
the horse and placing it in the
barn. The provisions were on the
sleigh and the bottle Of Wards
liniment, which was the medicine
he had taken in the restaurant
was also found in the sleigh. A
thorough search has been made
between Crosby and his home but
no trace has been found of him.
That he is dead all are agreed
upon, but where is amystery. He
may have gone into a shack to
build a fire to warm up, and being
too badly chilled, has fallen
asleep and succumbed to King
Frost. Crosby Review.

Are Getting Homesick

MT. c. M Wolf returned to the city last Monday after visit to the New Mexico territorial fair. He in formed us that he had received a letter from his son, Roy, who, with Fred, is attending the university al Valparaiso, Indiana. After writing a description of the school, Roy continues: "I hate this place, and we are both homesick. Don't be surprised if at the end of seven weeks you see us coming home Fred says he will not stay here. ] tell you he is surely homesick and there will be another right beside him pretty soon. Send us the WILLIAMS NEWS, so we may keep posted on what is doing in good old Arizona. Remember. us to all our friends"
 Better stay there a while, Roy; you'll soon get over being home sick, and you cannot have your old home always. Get your mind on your work so you will forget to be homesick. Stay with the school as you would with a "bronc"; that is the way to succeed.

Almost Shot His Arm Off

There seems to be two stories about how Ben Anderson, funky at Germans camp, shot himself on Wednesday. Both stories agree in that he was under the influence of liquor, the story as told by himself being that he lay down under a tree to sleep and that the gun was in some manner discharged, the bullet from the 3O-3O tearing off the mus cles of his left arm near the shoul- der. The other story is that An derson got bad as the booze took effect and took shot at one of the men. Some of the boys went for their guns and Anderson took to the woods. After going short dis tance he tried to commit suicide by standing the gun or. the ground, placing it against his breast and leaning over to pull the trigger. In so doing the gun is said to have slipped to one side, the bullet en- tering his arm. He was brought to town and is now recovering at the hospital.

In the Justice Court

Last Monday Marshal Kennedy took ex-Sheriff Jas. A. Johnson and present Deputy Sheriff T. F. Holden before Justice Crawford to answer to the charge of engaging in fist fight on the streets of Williams. Both gentlemen plead guilty to the charge and were each assessed fine of $1O. It seems the difficulty arose between the two gentlemen over a statement that was said to have been made by MT. Johnson relative to transaction during the recent rodeo. Monday morning Jim was in Salzman's store when Fred went to the door and called him outside. Hot words, immedi ately followed by blows, was the result, and those who saw the bout say that as the men are both large and strong. and about equally matched, it was nip and tuck for about three minutes till the arrival of the marshal.
 On Tuesday enc Vivian Enriquez was arrested by Constable Adams brought before his honor and as sessed a $5 fine. Vivian did not know of or had forgotten the ordi- nance against shooting inside the town limits.
 M. Stewart, the tailor, it seems had formed the habit of carrying g gun around with him, and in order to break him of the habit the judge fined him $lO, while the marsha confscated the gun.
 Things in general have been live ly. A couple of Mexicans got into a scrap and one tried to see hoy far his knife would penetrate tn other. As yet the officers have beer unable to apprehend him. Other scraps, too numerous l. mention, have been on the tapis One fellow tried to see if he coul

Williams School Notes

Our city schools have been favored with Visits during the past week by Mesdames c. M. Wolf and H. A. Raw)in of Williams, and Miss Gen. evieve R. Porter of Chicago. Good and wholesome effects invariably result from frequent visits by par ents and patrons to our schools. Pupils find that others besides them selves, the teachers and the school board take an interest in the edu- cational welfare of the community, and an incentive is thus given for increased energy. It is hoped many others will come; they will always be welcome.
 Reprimanding and punishing children for disobedience, impudence or boisterous conduct is now, and always has been, the only remedy for incorrigibleness in many pupils. Pupils who are impudent and disc bedient at home are quickly identi- fled at school, and such pupils usu- ally will not hesitate at prevari eating to represent innocence on their part of others, and almost wanton assassination on the part of the teacher.
 It is quite noticeable that some of our best behaved children in the different departments of our schools are those whose parents have in formed both pupils and teacher that punishment at school will be followed by punishment at home.
 No pupil is ever punished for courteousness, truthfulness or stu diousness. These are properties in the child which receive incentives from both parents and teachers.
