Mrs. Wilmington, Woman Who Walked
From Globe, in Mesa Again.

A little woman poorly clad and with
a bundle of clothes on her back got
off the NJ. p. train Sunday evening.
and enquired for James Davis who she
stated lived about three miles from
Mesa. Mrs. Wilmington is the name the
woman gave at the hotel and she is
the same person who walked from
Globe about five weeks ago, an account
OF which was given at the time The
woman was penniless when she reach
ed this place and on account of some
misunderstanding Mr.. Davis was not
here when she arrived. She was fin
ally given accommodations at the hotel
and again started out yesterday morn
ing to find Mr.. Davis whom she claimed
had made arrangements with her in
Phoenix to work for him. She stated
that after going from here to Phoeonix
after walking from Globe that she was
given a home i'm the county hospital.
The woman states that Mr. Davis. who
saw an account of the affair went. to
Phoenix and employed her, with the
understanding that she was to come to
this place as soon as she was able.

BETTER SERVICE.
New Machine Has Arrived, Which Will
Insure Early ePablicans.

The Republicans new track machine
which will be used to carry papers
from Phoenix to this place has arrived
and has been put into commission. The
good news will be received with a good
deal of satisfaction by the people OF
Mesa who like to get AL the news in
time for breakfast" 1t will now be
possible TO get the papers here of
morning to catch the Roosevelt stage
which leaves the city at o'clock. Not
only will this give a better service to
the residents of Mesa but will also
mean that those reading the paper at
Roosevelt, Granite Reef and all the
road camps along the line will be able
to get their paper the same day that
it is printed. The Republican has made
a mighty and continuous effort TO get
the papers here as early in the morn
ing as possible, but with high waters
and muddy roads it was nearly impos-
sible to make much Roadway against
time.

for staggering statistics showing its
growth. New York is already patting
itself on the back with a satisfaction
gained from perusal of the manner in
which it expanded during 1906. II is
literally a swollen city. presenting
many more difficult problems to the
average man than does the question

managed To separate itself from the
Insignificant sum of S4S. 900. 900 for dia-

about a hundred assorted libraries,

he was successfully touched for an

a great artificial pond to be called Car

sons of Old Nassau worthy rivals OF
Cornell Harvard and Yale in aquatic
sports. and President Wilson proceeded
TO pat him on the back as a clever fin
ancier BY the time the engineers got
through with him and the contractors
had started work, however. he felt the
need Of another guess. That 100000
was looking like thirty cents. But the
Laird was out Of small change. and
PrincetOn's only resource to save her
face was an appeal to the alumni. Dur

sons have contributed 100000 to the
