CHAPMAN GETS WHEEL BACK

Four or five weeks ago Leon j.
Chapman, editor of the Herald, had 4
wheel stolen from him while the
wheel was standing one night in front
of the Herald office and while Mr.
Chapman was at work inside at his
desk. Mr.. Chapman could find no
clew that might have lead to the
identity of the thief. Long ago he
gave up all hopes of recovering the
bicycle and expected to get new
one. The stolen wheel was in splen-
did condition.
Saturday man took n wheel to the
repair shop of B. c. Iseminger. The
front wheel of the bicycle was badly
smashed. Mr.. Isminger who had
sold Mr. Chapman his wheel recog-
nized the battered vehicle that was
brought in Saturday as the stolen
wheel and Immediately notified Mr..
Chapman. The wheel had been
brought in by an old man who stat
ed that his son had borrowed it from
the proprietor of the Buckhorn cor
raj. The proprietors of the corral
stated that the wheel was there when
/ he purchased the corral several
weeks ago, that he loaned it to the
boy had returned it broken. Later a
man now working on the Redlands
ditch went to the corral and claim
ing the wheel got very angry over the
fact that 1t was broken and he called
upon the boy to have it repaired and
the. boy agreed. This man who pur.
ported to be the owner of the whee
has been expected to go to the repair
shop. and claim the wheel and in do
ing so he would probably have hat
some difficulty in securing it. How
ever, SO far, he has not made appli
cation for the vehicle.
Mr.. Chapman considers himsel
very fortunate in securing his Ions
lost property. More than a few bicy
cles have disappeared in this city ant
never heard of again by the rightfu
owner.

I at length feel that the duty which

The ES-RECORDER AND ITS
WORK.

The Times-Reeorder is here to do
it's full share In the encouragement
and support of every movement in
tended to promote the welfare of
Americas.
1t is here to- proclaim to the world
at large the advantages Americas Of
fers to the home seeker, to the capt.
talist, to the manufacturer, to the
merchant.
1t is here to help in the work of
filling up the waste places of this
section with hardy immigrants who
will develop them and add to the
prosperity of this section generally
and of Americas especially.
1t is here to assist the enterprising
business men in every movement
they may begin, which is intended to
advertise Americas and to draw new
people to it.
1t is here to give the news of
Americas as faithfully and as fully
as possible, to the satisfaction OF it's
people.
To that end it asks for a. contin-
uance of the cooperation and support
that has been so generously given it
in the past.
1t has a program of improvement
outlined which will be put into effect
as soon els possible. 1t is the inten-
ton to give Americas just as good a
paper as conditions will permit a
clean, newsy, unbiased paper that
will stand, as it has stood in the
past, for Americas and it's upbui1d-
ing.

a VETERAN OUT OF FAIRNESS.

After twenty years of active news
paper service in Americas, Mrs.
Marie L. Myrick has laid down the
pen and retired from the ranks of
professional journalism. Failing
health for some months past has
warned her of the necessity Of this,
but the sense of duty to Americas has
led her to postpone the hour Of sur
render as long as possible, With
sorrowful heart, but with the proud
satisfaction of knowing that she has
labored zealously and successfully for
the upbuilding of the city of her adop-
ton and has been an important fac
tor in it's development, she has sur
rendered the control Of the Times
Recorder into other hands.
1t is not Mrs. Myrick's intention to
withdraw from Americas. Here,
where her home has been for so long
time, she will remain, surrounded
by her loyal friends. 1t is well that
after so long an enlistment in the
arduous duties of newspaper life she
should enjoy a well-earned rest. She
has stood the strain of management Of
a daily newspaper here during a long
term Of business depression, has seen
that period of doubt and anxiety give
way to one of confidence and bound
ing hope, and now, when all is \bright
for Americas, when it seems to be
entering upon it's palmiest days,
when it's rapid progress is practically
assured, like a veteran soldier who
has bravely faced the enemy in battle
after battle, she feels that she can
withdraw from the arena of active
business life, knowing that her work
has been we'll done, that her labOrs
have borne fruit, that the city she
loves is once more on the high road
Of prosperity, and that from the
vantage ground of honorable retire
ment she can watch it's future growth
without the necessity of being active
ly engaged in it's affairs.
No zone can question Mrs. Myricl<s
devotion to Americas, Or her intense
loyalty to it in times when it's very
existence, to some, seemed threat
ened. There is no abatement of this
| sentiment on her part, no desire tc
shirk any burden that might belong
to her Without her knowledge, i
, can be said for her that as long as
| life remains Americas and it's people
| will hold the warmest spot in her af
| fections Here, where she cast il
| her lot nearly quarter of a century
ago, when Americas was a struggling
town with great aspirations, but lit
tie hopes of their realization, she vii
remain until the shadows of life:
last day close about her. The bes
wishes of all of the citizens O
Americas will be with her under the
new conditions Of her life.
Many years of comfort and happi
ness to the veteran out Of harness!
