A SPLENDID RECEPTION.

Hon R. H. Cameron, delegate. elect, passed through Williams last Friday evening on the way to his home in Flagstaff after an exceed ingly strenuous, but, as the figures show, very successful campaign A large number of our citizens were at the train to meet him and ex- tend congratulations. When he r"ache@ his home city his friends
 nd Feighoors. democrats and re- puo,icans alike, gave MT. Cameron T greeting that must have warmed the cookies of his heart. The band played "See the Conquering Hero Comes," and other appropriate and popular airs. The new congress man was escorted to the court house in a decorated rig drawn by militiamen, amid the booming of cannons and the enthusiastic shouts of the people,
 The court house and streets were decorated in the national colors. MT Cameron made rouslng speech and said i' was the happiest mo
 T.. iiis if+ He expressed H--h tu shake hands with every nne present. A line was formed and professional man and pros pector, cattle king and cowboy, merchant and mule driver, young and old, big and little, grasped the hand of their friend and fellow townsman.
 MT. Cameron's journey through the towns of the territory on his way home has been a series of ovations, but it is safe to say that the greeting he received at Flag staff was the heartiest and most enthusiastic ever accorded citizen of Arizona.
 It was a splendid reception.

Playing in Hard Luck

Ralph NJ. Gould, railway mail clerk, we'll known in Williams, had his back severely strained and bruised in an accident occurring in the yards at Ash Fork Saturday night. Gould was sitting in his car waiting for the train which picks up the mail car, when switch engine struck the car with great force, throwing him violently to the end of it. It will be several weeks before he will be able to re- turn to duty. The car was badly damaged.
 Gould was one of several persons who were seriously injured in the wreck of the California limited east bound at Winslow on June 18th last and has but recently been able to resume work.

MADE HIS GETAWAY
Oscar Leach. Who Robbed The News Safe. Now in the City
 of Mexico
His Plans Were We'll Conceived and Cleverly Executed--Cap-
 ture Not Probable

That Oscar Leach, printer who
 was employed on THE NEWS during
 the rush of work incident to cleo
 ton, is the individual who robbed
 the safe in this office of $825, on
 the night of November Sth, there
 is now no room for doubt. It was
 we'll laid plan. He left here
 just week previous to the rob
 bery. Before leaving he asked for
 small loan from Pat Grove of the
 Fashion. stating that he had lost
 at gambling the wages paid him
 the evening before. The request
 was granted.
 The following Wednesday a note
 was received from Leach, asking
 that any mail coming to this office
 for him. ha forwarded to Prescott.
 This was done so that immediately ly on discovery of the robbery, he would not be suspected, thus giving him time to make his getaway. And the scheme worked admirably. For when speculation was rife as to who committed the robbery. and the possibility that it might have heen Leach was advanced, the knowledge that he had been in Prescott but a few days before served to Hull suspicion for the time in that direction.
 He left Prescott on Saturday eve-, ming for Ash Fork. He kept him. self concealed during Sunday and that evening headed in this direc- tion. Leach is an adept at beat ing trains. He boarded freight at Ash Fork, and when with in half dozen miles of Williams, dropped off, and under cover of darkness walked into town.
 Leach knew the habits of THE NEWS publisher we'll. He knew that it was his custom to remain in the office until 10 o'clock. and when he departed at that hour his return need not he expected until next morning So the bold burglar. had ample time to do his work. he gained entrance by way of a window. which was found nnfastened. or procured key while in Prescott that fitted the lock on the door, is not known. After entering the building he extin- yuished the incandescent light kept burning during the night. lest his presence might be detected by some chance passer-by. It is thought that Leach, during the time he was in the office. may have obtained access to the drawer where he combination to the safe was kept, but as the safe is a small one of the Mosler manufacture, and the robber person of considerable me- ,hanical ingenuity, the work of opening it was not a difficult one, and forcing the partitition of one of the compartments and securing the money drawer was but the labor of few moments. When the office was opened in the morning there was nothing to indicate that an intruder had been on the premises except that the door to the strong box" was open and the charred ends of a quantity of matches filtered the floor. The operation had been performed leisurely and noiselessly, but most effectively

Short Sightedness.

If advertising does not pay, there
are over sixty millions Of dollars
thrown away in this country every
year. Everyone knows that much
money is not going to be scattered to
the wind Of nothing. therefore there
must be something in advertising
Sumter Item.-That is true. and re-
markable thiJg about it is that all
Of this money is paid out year after
year by business men who are eau
itous, careful as to the details of their
business and by men who make money.
The successful men in every line as
a rule are the most liberal users Of
printers ink. They know that it pays
and they consider their advertising
account as much of a fixed charge on
their business as rent or taxes. And
yet some men, who have never given
it a fair and square trial, put their
judgment up against such cumulative
evidence, and day after day let dol
lars 60 by that they might just as
we'll reap.
