DON REED IN TROUBLE

Don Reed, cashier at the local office of the Wells Fargo Express company got into little difficulty the first of the week the facts of which are difficult to get at. but are about IS follows: Reed claims he was "held up' in "cut throat" poker game in a local resort. He lost heavily and 10 cover his loss issued check for $l00 on the local bank where he had no money on deposit. In order to avoid further difficulty over the matter. he help ed himself to a ticket to Chicago and boarded east bound train No B (Tuesdav) for that city. Deputy sheriff Scotty McDougal wired tht officers at Albuqurque to apprehend the runaway. Late Tuesday nigh' he was arrested on the train at Isleta by Special Agent Baird, nf that place and taken off the train When arrested he had on him thirteen dollars, a watch and d revolver.
 Reed was brought back Thurs day by Cade S-lvy, chief of delec lives of the coast lines.
 All legal action against Reed has been dismissed and the loss of his position, a lot of worry, and considerable undesira ble notorietv are about the extent of his incon- venienres as a result of the episode. The ticket he took was worth $50 but he claims the railroad compan. owes him more than enough salary to square that up.
 Reed is a bright young fellow and during his six months stay here his conduct is said to have heen exemplary, and the many friends he made as result are surprised and pained because of the sorry mess he has gotten him self into.
 There is excellent food for a sermon in the young mans down. fall, and it isn't altogether lack of ability that keeps us from preaching it right here It is dead easy, however, to see it sticking prominently from between each fine of this article.

. C. A. FUNSTON DEAD

c. NJ. Funston died very sud- denly at his home in Flagstaff, Saturday morning, Nov. 30. pre- suma bly, of heart disease.
 MT. Funston was born in Wash ing'on county, New York, May 12, 1853 and wac therefore, at the time of his death 54 years, 6 months and IS days of age. His parents died when he was email boy. His father served in the Union army during the Civil war aud was killed in service. His mother died shortly afterward. This ltfc him upon his own resources when quite small. He made his own way, however, by selling news- papers. As he grew older he de- cided to learn the printing busi- ness. which he did, remaining in the printing and publishing bu>i- ness all his life. He came to Ari- zona in 1886. and secured employ ment in printing office at Clifton. Next year he moved to Kingman and bought the Mohave County Miner. which he conducted for a number of years. In 1891 he moved to Flagstaff, where he had been in the newspaper business ever since. being at the time of his death publisher of the Sun. He was until recently interested in the publication of this paper.
 MT. Funston was a good news paper man, and always had a kind word for every body. especially his fellow newspaper men. One of of the highest tributes that can be paid him or any other man for that matter. was his devotion to his family and the manner in which he strived to protect 1t. Mr. Funston was a member of the following orders: A. F. & A. M [, I. o. O. F., Eagles, Elks. A. O. U. w., Foresters, and M. w. A.
 MT. Funston was married on November 27. 1883. at Cuba. Mo !, to Miss Hattie E. Snody. He is survived by his wife and five child ren. To them the NEWS extends heartfelt sympathy.
