CHARGED WITH SEVERE CRIME

Sheriff Francis was down from Flagstaff Wednesday and arrested . we'll known young man for keep ing . fifteen year old girl in the back room of one of the saloons for nearly two days The girl was missing Sunday night and Monday. Tuesday morning Marshal Patter- son was searching high and low for the girl and finally located her. She was kept under arrest for . few hours Tuesday. until she con- iessed. After she told the whole story to Marshal Patterson the young man in question was placed under arrest and Sheriff Francis sent for, who took him up to the county seat. aa
 The charges against the young man arc severe and if he is proved guilty it will go pretty hard against him. The crime, if it has been committed, is one of the worst upon the statutes. It is reported
 that several others are implicated in the crime and additional arrests are likely to follow. The city officials and several of tho good citizens of Williams in. tend to investigate the charges
 thoroughly and if the parties are
 found guilty they will look after
 the prosecution and see to it that
 the criminals are convicted accord. ing to law. Ono of the city officials
 stated that it is not because that
 they do not know that this poor girl is not an angel by any me ans.
 that they want the matter taken up and the guilty ones convicted. but
 they want to make an example casa
 of it for the benefit of those who
 are in the habit of leading innocent young girls estray.
 Tho young man was brought back
 to Williams Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Wood. and the preliminary
 trial took place late yesterday after
 noon before Justice Rounseville.

FASTEST GAME IN ARIZONA

One of the fastest games of base ball in the history of Arizona was the one last Sunday afternoon in Williams when the home nine de. ieated the strong Winslow team4in an eleven inning game by score of two to three. It was the best ex. hibition of the national game ever seen iu northern Arizona and as far as is known it was the first eleven inning game with as close score in the territory. Both teams played fast ball from start to finish. The grand stand was comfortably filled with an enthusia stic crowd of local rooters. About thirty fans came over from Winslow and they were busy every moment ''hollering" for their team. After the game was won by Williams the visitors were heard to remark that they were not ashamed to meet defeat in such a close and fast contest for supre- macy.
 The visitors went to bat first with Dude Downs the star player of the Winslow team up. He was out on first. Baker reached first 
 base on errors and died on second. Shearer and Ribbey who followed Baker went out on fly. Wood for the local team was put out on first and so was Willis. Barclay did not connect with Isaac's curves aud was famed out. ss:
 The first safe hit made off Con- zales was by Dickerson but he was nicely put out on second base. Riggs of the local team found the ball in the second inning but there being two outs and Martinez who followed was famed. Riggs had to die out on seco od base.
 On a wild throw of Willis in the third Ribbey made first and second and scored on Morris three bagger. Morris reached home plate on safe hit by Dickerson. Barclay slugged
