Holden and special off, cer of the Santa Fe, Mulvaney. hit his trail Thursday morning and ran into him near Bellemont, upon find ing out thier business, he threw a 303 Savage rife down on Holden, who was luckily standing close enough to him to strike the barrel with his hand. throwing it far enough out of range when he fired to miss him (Holden) only two in ches. Holden of course got busy with his six-shooter and plugged him through the shoulder. knock ing him down, when he and Mulva- ney bounced upon hm, disarming him. It is lucky indeed that Mir. Holden was so close to the despera- do, this alone probably saved his life. It goes to show that such

The Copper Era came out this week in an abridged form the office having been put out of commission by the Clifton flood which filled the office with six feet of water. The paper was published from the office of the Morenci Leader, but the next issue will be from their own plant in Clifton. It is hard to put an Arizona newspaper out of business especially so one that has as much energy as the Copper Era.

Holden placed under arrest in the Pullman Cafe, Harry Woods and held him awaiting the arrival of the sheriff from Jerome. It is claimed he broke the strong bands of he law at the mining town and it was upon telegraphic advice that MT. Holden acted. His offense is unknown as yet.
 Saturday night the 15h. The Royal Slave Company will play at the Odd Fellows Opera House. They come highly recommended and it goes without saying that their show is first-class and affords the theatre goer chance to get back the worth of his money that he has lost on some of the cheaper lcass that have filled their larder from the shekels of the good people of Williams.
 A terrible commotion was heard late Friday evening in the rear of the Williams News office. A crowd soon gathered and aft,r investiga- tion and moving a lot of boxes back of the Grand Canyon Drug Store found the cause of all the racket in the person of F. L. Moore. After the usual questions had been pro- pounded, the aforesaid Moore. said that he would swear that he saw Santa Claus, with his team of rein deer and little sleigh, drive directly under that pile of boxes. and he was going to investigate the pack to see if any labels bore the trade mark of F. L. M. In this Christian era of the world this is certainly the limit. We admit that Franks dope last week had a sort of hay tinge of green about it, when he quoted the Postal laws as holding his subscribers as liable to arrears if they took their paper from the P. O. and didn't pay for it, but when it comes to holding up Dia- mond Dick fashion, old goodnatured Santa Claus, why then, we re-nig. Oh Absalom; lift up thine eyes and "holler".
 We could not help reading for the second time the editorial in the Sun last issue on the cigarette hab- it. It was very good MT. Funston and should be agitated long and often in all the papers. We know of no place that law against al- lowing minors to buy tobacco in any form. would be of greater ben eft than right here in Williams. Young America" in Williams is far ahead of many large cities. The Council of Williams would do well to pass such an ordinance and see that it was complied with to the letter. Youngsters ranging from 6 to 10 years are to be seen hiding around the corners in Williams sucking away at a cigarette, which beyond any doubt is daily drawing from his young life days and weeks of happy manhood. It should be stopped, and the man that will sell tobacco to mere child, you might say, should be made to work in the streets with ball and chain man. acled to him. While the council are at it let them also make a cur few law, and when that curfew is sounded at o'clock D. m. have their city marshal see that all who were within it's bounds, were sent to their parents where they belong at that hour of the night. Let 5 hear from the next man, agitat, it. it is a good thing.
