TODD
RESIGNS.

Milton D Todd. who was last
Saturday nominated by the
Democratic County Convention
at Holbrook for the office of
Sheriff, handed in his resigna-
ton to the Central Committee.
MIR. Todd's reason for with
dra wing from the race was on
account of a certain faction ip
the party refusing to support
him at the polls. In so doing
he showed himself as being a
genuine Democrat, caring more
for the success of the party than
his own election. His friends
urged him to remain on the tick
ct, they believing that he would
be a winner anyway.

JOE WOODS
FOR SHERIFF

The Democratic County Cen
trail Committee having accepted
the resignation of NJ. D. Todd
for Sheriff on the Democratic
ticket, unanimously voted to
place the name of Joseph F.
Woods. of HOlbrOok, on the tick
ct in place of Mr. Todd.
The committee could not have
made a better selection, and
there seems no doubt that he
will be the next Sheriff of Ma
vajo County. He is one of the
pioneers of Northern Arizona,
and has been one of the prOmi-
nent businessmen of his town
for many years. His honesty
has never been questioned. and

numerous Cattlemen from Apa-
che and Gila Counties, as we'll
as all the ranchera living in
this vicinity. The Western
Carnival Company were here
during the four days and did a
big business. They presented
some very good shows and the
merry go-rOuud was the chief
attraction for the youth. There
were several race horses here
from elsewhere, among them
being "Jack McGinn, owned
by Robert Kelley; 'B the .Fid-
dler." a Tonto basin horse; DO
tard, owned by w. Simms, and

sic aud were Que of the main
features that made the affair
success. They appeared tor the
first time in their new uniforms,
which were dark green with
gold trimmings, and they Ger,
tainly cut some ice.
Over a dozen Indian races
took place during the four days,
their fleetest ponies participate
ing. They also gave dances on
the streets in the evening, and
couple of boxing matches added
considerable to the fun.

Alex. F. McAllister, Record
er of this county, came down
from the county seat Wednes
day to attend the opening of
the celebration. Mac has held
his present Office for eight con-
secutive years and is candidate
for reelection. That he will
receive a handsome majority
there is not the least shadow of
a doubt. Last election he re-
The Winslow mail., 1906-10-20

ceived the largest majority ever
given any candidate in this
county, the same being 229.
This election he expects to beat
that record, The reason that
he should be re elected is on ac-
count of the able manner in
which he discharges the duties
of his office. His official record
cannot be excelled anywhere.

Compromised For $3.50.

The case of John Lowell vs. the
Kansas City Southern Railway Co.,
being tried at special term Of our
circuit court, came to a sudden term
ination Friday, when the court was
informed that a compromise had
been effected and Mr.. Lowell was to
receive $3, $50. This was a case OF
personal damage. Mr.. Lowell was
injured about four years ago while
unloading car, at Amoret, by an.
other car striking the one In which
he was at work, throwing him
against the heavy side doors and
iniuring him internally.
Onthe first trial the jury awarded
him Il Judgment for $1,000. Judge
Graves was compelled to set aside
that verdict owing to misconduct OF
juryman. Two years ago another
jury awarded him a judgment OF So
600. This was carried to the court Of
appeals and the verdict set aside on
a technicality. MIR. Lowell has been
an invalid since the accident, and
1t was necessary to carry him to and
from this trial.
