 ROBBERY
RESULTS IN ONE DEATH

Drumm, Waite, Chilson, Bazell, and Walcott.
 After taking all the testimony available and thoroughly exam ming the witnesses the verdict of the jury was that the deceased came to his death on account of a bullet wound inflicted by A. Montana; that the latter was acting m defense of his life and property and is to beexonerated from any and all blame.
 Undertaken Parr immediately took charge of the rema1ns and had them taken to the mOrgue where they are held while an at tempt is being made to discover something further regarding the dead man. So far 1t has not been possible to communicate with any of his relatives nor To- cate his former abode. At the time of his death he was wearing suit bearing a label of a well known clothing firm of Los An geles, but inquiry at that point fails to reveal any knowledge of the mans identity.
 Monday afternoon Montana was brought before the justice court for a preliminary trial on the charge of murder, but was promptly discharged the evidence i'll the case going to show that he had acted in self defense as well as defending the property of his employer.
 Montana bears an excellent reputation, has always conduct ed himself as an upright citizen and feels keenly the notorieuy in- cident to the shooting. We con- graduate him on his courage and feel that If similar rigorous mea- sures were taken by others, that there would be less "holding-up" throughout this country.

Stabbing Affray

In a fit of jealous rage, owing to the attention paid by one AsianO Romero, a Mexican, to Viola Williams, colored, deni- zen of the tenderloin district, Ar thur Daniels, also cOlored, stab bed, and probably fatally wound ed, Romero in a Mexican saloon late last Sunday evening. It ap- pears that these two men have each been paying attention to the same woman for some time past and bad blood has sprung up between them, which, accord ing to others of the red light dis trlct, was in danger of causing trouble at any time. Sunday evening the men met in the sa- loon of J. J. Rubi and, after a wordy wrangle, fighting started It was during the fight that Dan- iels drew the knife and stabbed Romero, the blade entering un- der the left shoulder and pene- trating the left lung. Romero, after being stabbed, made his way to the Wigwam restaurant where his condition was first noted and a patron of the place called in Dr. C. l.. Hathaway. The doctor, after a hurried ex- animation, had the man taken to the hospital where a more thorough examination was made and the seriousness of the wound disclosed.
 Later = RomerO's condition seems to be improving and unless further complications arise, the physicians claim that he will re- cover.
 Daniels was given a prelimin- ary examination before Justice Zuck at HOlbrOOk Wednesday afternoon and bound over to await the action of the grand jury.
 One Frank COzene, a witness for the defendant at the hearing, sought fit to disobey the sub pOena issued and is now doing a little time at the county jail for contempt of court.

  Death of c. E. .VanFossen

N I%s clIA CSSNll, cl IICAANNA VI NOrthernArizOna was found dead in his room at the residence Ot Richard Wiggins, last Saturday. Mrs. Wiggins was the first to notice that anything was wrong. the door being locked when she went to make up the room some time before noon. Mrs. Wigg1ns called i'll one of the neighbOrs and together they looked in the window and discovered Mir. Van Fossen lying partly on the bed and partly on the floor. The authorities were notified and the door forced in order to effect an entrance. From the position of the body when found 1t IS thought that Mir. VanF FOSSen was sitting in a chair in the act of diSrOblng when stricken. A jury impaneIed by Justice Finn rendered a yer dict to the effect that death was caused by heart failure. A large amount of currency and cash, as well as several uncashed pay checks, was found on the person of Mir. VanFOssen. A sister Ot the deceased resides in St Louis, but telegraph advice from her physician stated that 1t would be impossible for her to come here at this time. A brother IS now on his way to WinslOw to look after the estate and to set tie all outstanding accounts.
 The funeral service over the re- mains was held Tuesday after noon at the Methodist Church. Rev. Robt. E. Wright conducting the service and delivering the sermon. The pall-bearers were: E. T. Sherwood, Richard Wig gins, H. X. Reeves, Jas. Young, fly Dillmuth and Charlie Poy. Members of the Knights of Py- thias residing in WinslOw, of which organization the deceased was a member, attended the fu- neral.
 MT. VanFOsseu came to Wins low some IS or 20 years ago, be- ing one of the earlier settlers ot the town. At the time the At lantic and Pacific Railroad was building through Arizona Mir. NanFossen was one of the1r em- ployees. He has been cOntinu- ously i'll the employ of the rail road company, seeing the change from the old A. & F. to the San ta Fe and has held many posi- tions of importance during his long service At the time of his death he was employed in the water service department.

HlOl uluS, Wnlle the bartender, Andy Montana, sat dosing in a chair, F. B. Garnell. who had been employed at the Santa Fe round house, entered the saloon of w G. Kelly and attemped to rob the cash register. A small hammer that was in the back of the drawer fell to the floor the noise of which awakened Mon- tano who attempted to arise but the wOuld-be robber jumped at him and tried to fell him with the hammer. Montana proved to be too active and secured his re- volver which lay on the shelf un- der the bar, shooting Garnell in the head, the ball passing thru and out at the back, causing ins-
 tant death.
 From evidence brought out at the inquest as well as the prelim- mary examination of Montana 1t was shown that Garnell had
 been in WinslOW but few weeks and had only secured employ ment with the Santa Fe com
 mencing May 1st. On Sunday evening he failed to report for duty at the usual hour, but went tO1the= round house shortly before midnight when it was noticed by those who knew him that he was
 wearing a false beard and mus tache. When questioned III re- gard to this 1t IS alleged he stated he was out to have a good time and ito get some easy money" After leaving the round house he visited various saloons around down trying to get a bottle of whiskey, but as he was not known to the bartenders, and be- ing without funds, the liquor was denied him. 1t was also stated at the inquest that he had re- marked to one of the bartenders that "he would get some money before the night was over" This statement seems to have been freely made by the dead man dur ing the evening previous to the attempted robbery. As well as wearing false whiskers, Garnell had on a pair of tennis shoes when shot, and as Sunday night had been unusually stormy to- ward the midnight hour, rain having tallen for several hours, it is claimed that he was prepar- ed to get money somewhere, even if necessary to rob some one.
 Owing to the absence ofJustice Finn, who is in San Francisco, it was necessary to call on Jus tice F. M. Buck, of Holbrook, to act as coroner and hold the ln- quest. Justice Buck arrived on No. ' and immediately impaneled the following jury: Messrs. Parr, Hoxie, Chisholm, LaPrade,

CHANCES OVER
THE WORLD
THE PILLsBURY-WAsHBURN CO.
IN THE HANDS OF A
RECEIVER.
THAW'S BANKRUPTCY ACT
A Reorganization Of a Great Flour
Company-Thaw and His Finances
Fleet Is in Auckland Harbor.

One OF the largest bonds ever rec
Orded in the federal court in Minneap-
oils was executed last week by the
three receivers for the Pillsbury-
Washburn Flour Mills Co. When
Federal Judge Milton ID. Purdy ap-
pointed the receivers he gave them
five days to file the bond OF $500,0 900,
but placed the property OF the com
pany in their hands at once for opera
ton. The condition which made neces-
sary the reorganization of the com
pany, said to be the largest in the
world, was not due to lack OF bust
ness. The business of the company
was $22, 000,0 900 in the last fiscal year.
Charles W. Ford, of Hathaway & Co.,
commercial paper brokers, of New
York, who resides in Chicago, was in
court when the petition was filed with
Judge Purdy. He acquiesced in the
arrangement and his action represent
ed three-fifths of the paper indebted
ness, or $1,500,000.
OF the general situation as to the
company's affairs, Mr.. Ford issued an
optimistic statement declaring he be-
lieved there is no reason why the
creditors should not be paid in full.

water front to await the coming OF
the ships. Some brought blankets and
food with them. The crowd cheered
itself hoarse from the moment the
ships appeared and fairly went mad
with enthusiasm when the firing OF
salutes had been concluded. Despite
the fact that this is the Lords day
