Baseball

Sundays baseball game be-
tween Williams and Winslow
greatly resembled the old time
game of "rounders.3 Both pitch
ers were hit hard and often, sew
eral passes to first were issued,
and some basses given on account
of being hit by the pitcher Two
or three home runs were made,
the one by Chatfeld, catcher for
Winslow, being as clean a home
run as has been made on the To-
cal grounds. The score, 21 to 20,
would indicate that neither side
did any great work as a ball
team, but there were a few bright
spots when both sides really
PLAYED ball. Taken all together
though, it was rather a ragged
exhibition, such as might be ex-
pected by lot of youngsters.
Winslow was short their regular
first and second basemen, Quayle
playing with Ash Fork at that
place, and Willis playing with
the Williams team. The work of
Willis at second was the one good
feature of the game and although
he was numerically roasted by
by the fans for deserving the home
team, yet he drew forth many a
cheer by his consistent playing.
A special train arrived from
Williams about 1870 Sunday
morning aboard of which was
the ball team as well as about
fifty residents of Williams who
came along to root for the team.
There were also a number of the
Williams Gun Club aboard, they
coming to participate in the
shoot against the Winslow club.
A committee from the Winslow
Gun Club, together with large
number of our citizens, were at
the depot to meet the train and
to extend a welcome to the visi-
tors. Returning, the train left
Winslow at 700 .. m. Before
leaving, the visitors from Viii
liams extended an invitation to
the people of Winslow to visit
them during the celebration to
be pulled off there on July 4th.
Next Sunday the Winslow ball
team will play a game with the
team from Gallup. 1t is reported
here that the Gallnp boys have
a very strong nine and will give

Mexican Murders Wife


loon, situated on the street back
of the roundhouse, Juan Ortego,
an Old Mexico Mexican, fatally
stabbed his wife, Vera Orteg0,
the knife entering the neck on the
right side. The weapon used
was an ordinary butcher knife,
with blade fully sixinches long,
which had been ground down
until it was very narrow. From
the appearance of the knife,
which was exhibited at the pre-
liminarv examination of the as
sassin, the BLADE had penetrated
it's full length into the body Ci
the woman. After the stabbing,
which was witnessed by the six
year old daughter of the deceas-
ed, Ortego attempted to escape,
running northeast from town in
the direction of the river. He
was located shortly after the
stabbing by Marshal Hanks,
who gave chase, firing two shots
in an attempt to stop the mur-
derer
At the inquest held Friday by
Judge Finn, acting in his posi-
tion as coroner, the jury com
posed of F. T. LaPrade, H. II.
Mitchell, w. L. Jobes, c. M. Sor-
enson, Frank Martin and Andy
Romero, brought in the follow
ing verdict:
"That the deceased came to
her death as the result OF a knife
wound inflicted by Juan Ortego,
with intent to murder"
The preliminary examination
of OrtegO was held in Justice
Films court at two o'clock Fri
day afternoon. District Attorney
w. P. Geary prosecuting the case.
I he defendant waived his right
to be represented by an attorney.
1t was found at the trial that
Ortego and his wife had quarrel
led frequently and that he had
told her he had a knife for her
as well as for the policeman,
meaning that he would resist ar
rest. The six year old daughter
of the defendent appears to have
been the only eye witness of the
tragedy and her testimony was
given quite clearly. Other wit
nesses testified to having seen
the body lying on the sidewalk,
and still others to having seen
Ortego running away from the
scene of his crime.
Ortego was bound over to the
Grand Jury which will meet at
HOlbrOOk next October and he
was taken to the county seat on

No. 8 Wrecked

On Saturday June 20 Santa Fe
train No. 8 was dera1led about
one half mile west of Manila, a
station sixteen miles east OF
Winslow The engine and five
cars left the rails, the Standard
sleeper being the only car not off
the track, but fortunately none
of the derailed cars turned over.
A tourist car porter received
some slight injury to his knee
and one lady passenger and one
child were badly shaken up, but
aside from these, the passengers
and train crew escaped injury.
The cause of the wreck was not
definitely learned but it is
thought that the tender Of the
engine climbed the rail causing
the balance of the train to follow.
The train was "A few minutes late
leaving Winslow but was not
running at an exceptionally high
rate of. speed when the accident
happened it being stated by the
crew and other railroad men on
the train that they were making
about 27 miles an hour. Imme-

1t was found that it would be
necessary to build a shoo-hy
track about 600 feet long in or

not being practicable to re-rail

Railroad Construction

There's Something Doing hut the
North Coast Is Still -. he Road
of Mystery

Rumors that have been rife for the
past ten days regarding railroad ac-
tivity in the Yakima valley have been
substantiated the past week by the
contractors, representing three of the
largest railroad contracting firms in
the country. The nature of their
business could not be learned, but
a mass of blue prints, and frequent
consultations leave the Inference to
be guessed.

borhood of Ellensburg and Gle Elum.

known as THE road of mystery"

minals and rights of way in the past,
but within the last month has be-
gun actual construction and grading
near Kiona. The report has been
started that the North Coast is a
feeder to the Milwaukee, and the APP
pearance of contractors, who have
just finished big contracts on that
road, lends weight to the rumor.
A representative of the Lorimer-
Gallagher Co. of Chicago was in the
city last Monday, and at the end of
the week the city was visited by C.
J. Johnson and party. johnson has
recently finished a 90-mile contract
on the Milwaukee, and while making
no definite statement, said that his
next move would be a short one. A
trainload of equipment used by john
son in his operations were recently
moved to Seattle.
1t is reported that a party of North.
ern Pacific surveyors are at work be-
tween the Yakima valley and the
Columbia laying out line which
will reduce the heavy hauling grade
now operated between Pasco and Ell

surveyors is North Yakima. and

would be a strategic move. in case
