that every effort will be set forth to capture Neill and Wood. Francis has offered reward of one hundred dollars for their arrest, and has sent out, through the mails, the following circular to the officers throughout the territory:
 ARREST FOR MURDER.
 Reuben Neill and Herbert Wood, left Williams on May 9th, 1909; Neill riding a buckskin horse, branded H-O on left shoulder. Wood riding a bay mare branded CHI on left thigh. Neill about thirty years old. light complexion ed, blue eyes. brown hair, about five feet eleven inches high, weight about 175 pounds.
 Wood about same age. and weight. six feet tall, brown eyes, and dark hair. Ex-territorial ranger. It is believed will try to escape to Mexico. Address John w. Francis, sheriff, Flagstaff, Ariz.
 In addition to the above reward Sheriff Francis, stated to THE NEWS, he is trying to induce the government authorities in behalf of the government to offer additional reward. She riff Francis says that he has a good reason to believe that the two, criminals are headed for Old Mexico. Both men are quite we'll known in the southern part of the territory and the sheriff believes they will be captured before they cross the border.
 There has been all kinds of press reports published under Flagstaff date line in the various dailies re- garding this case. All of the dis patches published have been un- reliable, but the most hair raising tales, with four heads in box car type appears. in the Arizona Gazette of Phoenix. The Gazette has had a posse of mer, in pursuit of the fugitives from justice for a week.

and at coroner's inquest, it was found that Swartz came to his deatt through gun shot wounds, inflicted by unknown parties. It was then that some stock was taken in the story of the witness, and Francis came here to make the arrest oI
 Wood and Neill, but they had lief, for parts unknown. Neill secured from L. s. Drum, proprietor ol the Grand Canyon hotel and ster father of Neill, one hundred dollars on the night he left. Neill told his step father good bye and said he was leaving and would never return as he was in very serious trouble MT. Drum was ignorant of Neill's trouble and thinking that it was trouble with the government, Neill being forest ranger, tried to talk him out of the notion of leaving. Since then, both Neill and Wood, have not been seen or heard of.
 Reuben Neill is a young man of about thirty years of age and for the past three years has been in the government employ as forest ranger in charge of this district with head quarters in this city. He has here tofore borne good reputation and enjoyed a warm friendship of some of the best citizens in the county, who were shocked with the recent revelations in the Swartz case. Herbert Wood, was employed as territorial ranger until few months ago when the legislature passed a law abolishing the offices of terri torial rangers. He has lived in all his life and always borne good reputation. He is son Mrs. Thomas Wagner, we'll known and highly respected pioneer wo- man of this county, and is now a resident of Williams.
 Sheriff Francis, who was in the 'ity Tuesday, stated to THE NEWS

IT IS JUDGE DOE NOW.

Washington, May S.-Edward M. Doe, of Flagstaff, was today ap- pointed by President Taft to succeed Judge Sloan, who resigned to ac- cept the governorship of Arizona. Does name was sent to senate to. day for confirmation. hs
 Judge Doe is at present district attorney of Coconino county. He is pioneer resident of this countyand is held in high esteem by the bar of the territory as we'll as by the citizens of northern Arizona. He Is an able and fearless lawyer and will fill the office of judge of tbis judicial district with honor and dignity. Delegate Cameron, upon whose recommendation theappoint- ment was made, is to be congratul- ated upon his wise selection. sn
 Judge Doe has been a resident of the territory for twenty one years. He is fifty-eight years of age He was graduated from Iowa State University, and year later com pleted the law course of that uni versity under Chancellor Mclean. He was engaged in practice of his chosen profession for several years. He then went to Fort Worth, Tex, where he practiced for few years. He came to Flagstaff in 1887, and was associated in law partnership with w. G. Stewart, who was once a republican candidate for delegate to congress. Judge Doe was first elected district attorney of Coconino county four years ago and after two years of private practice was again elected at the last election. He has a wife but no children.
 The successor of Judge Doe in the office of district attorney is be- ing talked. Among the candidates for the toga who are mentioned is X. N. Sleeves and Geo w. Glowner of Williams, and J. E. Jones, and F. w. Perkins. and Thomas Flynn, of Flagstaff. All of the aspirants are democrats except Perkins who is republican. MT. Flynn will very likely receive the appointment. He was the democ ratio candidate for the office last fall and made a creditable race.

LOOKS BAD FOR THE RANGERS

In the last weeks issue of THE NEWS there appeared an account of the finding of the body of E. P. Swartz, near this city by a Mex ican sheep herder. Rumors of the cause of his death were many at that time and this paper predicted that astounding revelations would shortly be made. Now these pre- dictions have been substanciated, for Saturday night Reuben Neill, a forest ranger, and Herb. Wood. both of this city, left for parts un. known and warrants were sworn out for their arrest. This was done at the instance of witness. whose name is withheld, and who states that Detective Swartz had been killed by Neill and Wood some months ago, about the latter part of last September, and the body hauled in wagon about two miles east of this city and thence on a pack horse a half of a mile north to where it was found on Tuesday of last week.
 It appears that Neill and Wood, and Swartz had trouble over a wo man, and the matter came to the attention of the grand jury, when several were threatened with prosecution for adultery. Sheriff Francis came to this ci9y with bench warrant and tried to secure the person of Swartz, for the fall term of court, but the man could not be found as he had mysterious,y disappeared several days before. Some days after the witness told Sheriff Francis that Swartz was buried on knoll north. east of this city and wanted to take him to the spot. The man had been drinking and thinking he was crazy, Sheriff | Francis paid no attention to him, until after Swartz's body was found in the spot indicated by the man,

Neill and Wood have been publish ed as it happened. This papers policy is quality. and not the quan- tity.
 AT THE ST. JOHNS CROSSING MONDAY
 If certain information which reached the sheriff's office Tuesday in Phoenix had been brought in the day before, Reuben NeilI and Herbert Wood might have been captured.
 The informant. whose name is withheld at his request saw the men at St. Johns crossing about eight o'clock Monday morning. He knew both of them and was not more than 200 yards away from them when they crossed the river. He had not then heard of the mur. der and as soon as he learned that the instructions for their arrest were out, he went to the sheriff of Maricopa county and told what he had seen.
 The man did not think much of their presence at the time. Each was carrying a Winchester. The informant did not recall that the ranger law had been abolished, SUD- posed that Wood, whom he knew to be ranger, was out on an off, cial scout.
 It is thought that they went down past Jerome and the Horse Shoe ranch and thence to the Agua Fria which they followed to it's junction. Their natural course beyond would have been by the way of the Vekol mine and Quijatoa. The horses of both men are good travellers and at the rate they travelled they probably reached the Mexico line by Tuesday night.
 SHERIFF FRANCIS IN PHoENIX
 Sheriff Francis has gone to the Capital City, where he went to con- suit Governor Sloan in regards to additional reward for the capture of Neill and Wood. Francis says he will make every effort to get the two men.

THERE WILL BE NONE NICER

A crew of men have been busily engaged in filling up and spading the open spaces in the A. T. & s. F. depot platform for the past ten days, which will be planted with blue grass especially developed for this climate, and consequently there will soon be a lawn that would be a credit even in a more favorable climate and environments.
 The management of the railroad company at this point have also made arrangements to place foreign evergreens in the grounds around the magnificent station. Next year it is the intention of the company to plant arboritum in the vacant place west of the station with speci- mems of all the trees that. will grow in this high altitude.
 According to the plans of the Santa Fe company. it is intended to make the grounds around their station in Williams, in beauty, sec- ond to none along their line of 5000 miles of the smoothest rail- road in the world.
 The Santa Fe is catering to the wealthy tourist travel. and it takes special pride in the erection of magnificent stations. surrounded with beautiful grounds.
 THE NEWS will express the senti- ment of all the good citizens of Williams in saying that they ap- preciate what the railroad company has done and proposes to do in making the station and grounds here as attractive as possible.

THE EGG IN HISTORY.
It II Surrounded by Many Ancient
Legends and Beliefs.

Legends and Beliefs.
Like many another term in Chris
tan nomenclature, the word Easter
is derived from pagan sources. The
Saxon goddess of light, Estra, was
honored with an annual festival at the
vernal equinox. The Jewish Passover
was also regulated by the March moon,
and the resurrection Of Jesus occurred
at this season. In later centuries the
great Christian festival came to bear
the pagan name Easter and to be cele
brated at time coincident with the
Jewish feast.
Since remotest times the egg has
symbolzed recreation. Persian tradi-
ton has it that the world was Matched
from an egg at the season which cor
responds to the vernal equinox, for
which reason eggs are still given for
New Years presents by the Persians.
The drulds said that the sun, great
egg, Matched from itself the earth and
other planets.
By the Chinese it is believed that the
world was formed of two parts Of a
great egg. From the yolk man came
forth. He then waved his hand. and
the upper half Of the shell went up
ward and became the concave heavens;
the lower half reversed, making the
convex earth, and the white albumen
became the seas.
When Christianity took over various
of the Saxon rites the Paschal eggs of
the Jews were vested with a new sig
niflcance-namely, the resurrection of
Christ. They were colored red in mem

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 16.-Thurs-
day, November %. was officially pro-
claimed by President Taft as Thanks
giving Day. The presidents procla-
nation was issued as usual from the
state department, where it received the
official seal of the United States.
The following is the text of the proc
lamation.
The season of the year has returned
when, in accordance with the recent
customs established by our forefath-
ers. the people of the United States are
wont to meet in their usual places of
worship for a day of thanksgiving, ap-
pointed by the Civil Magistrate. to re-
turn thanks to God for the great mer
cies and benefits which they have en-
joyed.
During this past year We have been
highly blest. No great calamity or
flood or tempest or epidemic has be-
fallen us. We have lived in quietness,
undisturbed by wars or rumors of
wars.
Peace and the plenty of bounteous
crops and of great industrial produc-
ton animate a cheerful and resolute
people to all the renewed energies of
meneficent industry and material and
mortal progress. 1t is altogether fit
ting that we should humbly and CRATE
fully acknowledge the divine source of
these blessings
Therefore, I hereby appoint Thurs
day. the 25th day of November. as a
day of general thanksgiving. and call
upon the people on that day. laying
aside the usual vacations. to repair to
their churches and unite in appropri-
ate services OF praise and thanks to
Almighty God.
I'm witness whereof have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
