A Birthday Surprise Party

On Thursday evening, March 29, a humber of the friends of MT. and Mrs. s. O. Miller and family met at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. c. c. Hull and proceeded in a body from there to the Miller home in- tending to perpetrate a surprise on MT. Miller, in honor of his forty third birthday. MT. Miller, who is a locomotive engineer on the Can yon line, has been in that business too long to be surprised very much at anything, and while the party failed there. it was a success in every other particular. The earlier part of the evening was devoted to progressive whist, for which beauti- ful prizes were awarded, ladies first and second prizes being won by Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Jakle, respect ively. while the writer won gents first and J. E. Horton second. Later in the evening a most sumptuous repast was served and greatly en- joyed, after which a number of musical selections were rendered. MT. Miller was the recipient of a large number of useful as we'll as ornamental presents, among them a beautiful burnt plaque, on one side of which was bust picture and on the other a hunting scene-"A 1 Duck Hunt," Sam's long suit.
 Following is list of those present: MT. and Mrs. c. c. Hull, MT. and Mrs. Mayfield, MT. and Mrs. A. H. Harrell, MT. and Mrs. R. s. Teeple MT. and Mrs. Gus Jakle. MT. and Mrs. c. A.

Wreck at CosninO

At about 9:1O pm. Tuesday even ing, at Cosnino station, on the Santa Fe, some eight miles east of Flagstaff, a head-on collision oc- cured between trains Nos. 2 and 8. No. 3, the west-bound limited, was standing on the main line, with the right of way, awaiting the arrival of No. ?, which was to take the siding. No. 3 was in charge of Con- ductor Carter, with Engineer Colds worthy at the throttle; while No. 2 was in charge of Conductor Cooay and Engineer Jack Williams. As
 No. 2 came down the hill at good rate of speed (about forty miles an hour, it is said) Engineer Williams applied the air, which failed to hold the train. As a result the two en- zines met with a crash, while the crews of each took to the timber. Both engines were totally wrecked, while the baggage and mail cars on No. 2 and the buffet car on No. 8 were badly mashed up. The engine crews received the most damage, none of the passengers being hurt, though badly shaken up. It is stated that investigation showed that the angle cock on the second baggage car on No. 2 had been shut off and that the air could thus only circulate that far back, not being sufficient to stop the heavy train of twelve cars. A wrecker and new engines were sent from Winslow, and traffic was again resumed about 3:3O am. Wednesday,.

"Human Hearts"

Arkansas has often been the theme of song and story, and no melody ever written has evolved more genuine pleasure than "The Arkansas Traveller" The same may be said of Human Hearts," which is a strong story, dealing with life in the Arkansas hills, only in addi- tion to laughter. it is mingled with heart interest and tears.
 This season's company secured by Manager Vaudeville will be far superior to any ever engaged to portray this strongest of strong plays. The scenic equipment this season will be entirely new; the past summer having been devoted to securing new models and the building and painting of new sce- nery. Consequently, this season. Human Hearts" will be practically brand new production. It has been Manager Nankeville's aim to improve the performance each sea- son, and to this fact he attributes it's great success.
 Human Hearts" will be seen at the opera house Thursday, April 5. Children, 25c; adults. 75c.

A COMMUNICATION

EDITOR WILLIAMS NEWS:
 \As attorney for the town of Will jams, have been so many times asked why the town council does not enforce certain ordinances, and have heard so many complaints against the mayor for not seeing that they are enforced, that it ap- pears to me only fair and right to say through your valuable paper what the powers of the council and of the mayor are in this regard.
 The citizens of the town elect every two years the members of the council; also marshal, a supervi- sor of streets, and a clerk These being so elected by the people, and not appointed by the courcil, are entirely independent of the coun- cil or the mayor. If they were, as it seems they should be, appointed by the council, instead of being elected by the people, then the council or mayor could remove them for any failure to perform their respective duties. Being so elected, they hold their offices direct from the people, and are wholly i'm dependent of the council or the mayor. Hence the council and the mayor alike have no more power to see that the ordinances are enforced or to enforce them than has any citizen of the town.
 The council has power to make ordinances, which, when made. be come the property of the people at large, just the same as the laws passed by our legislative assembly. It is for the sheriffs, constables and the courts to enforce the territorial laws; and it is the duty of the mar shal to enforce the town ordinances; and in this town he is paid sixty dollars each month by the town for performing such duties, besides five per cent of all licenses and taxes collected by him. The members of the council receive no pay what ever. The street supervisor is the collector of street taxes, and it is his duty to see that the streets and crossings are kept in order. If these executive officers of the town, whom the people elect, fail to perform their duties, the council is not at fault, nor has it or the mayor any power to compel such performance. The fault lies solely with these off, cers. It is true the council can say what the duties of these officers are, and it has done so in every instance, but that is as far as it can go.
 Trusting that this may tend to relieve the council from being blamed wrongfully, I am,
 Respectfully,
 X. N. STEEvEs,
 Town Attorney.
