How Showlow was Named

The Deseret News recently gave q write-up of Arizona old timers and towns, and had the following to say in naming of one of our villages.
 "That name Showlow carries with 1t a story that will go down in Arizona history, and it is in- separably linked with the name of C. E. Cooley. Mir. Cooley came to Arizona as a soldier and was stationed at old Fort Me Dowell when he was mustered out in the later eos. He worked his way up to Fort Apache and there married an Indian wife and was adopted into the Apache tribe and made one of it's chiefs. One day he was gambling at the game of seven-up when his oppo- nent bet ranch against sum oi money. The game ran close and it was a question who was out. Cooley claimed he had won by having point low. The other man said, ."Well, show low and take the ranch" Cooley showed low, took the ranch and named it Showlow Ranch. Through too shrewd a business partner Mr. Cooley lost this ranch more than twenty years ago and then he moved into the Indian reserva- tion and settled, at his present ranch, where as 9 ar,-.1ifs s.zz4. -llp. is spending hIs last days.-Flag, staff Gem.

 Henry Marcus, a Prescott un- dertaker took charge of the body and prepared it for shipment to Winslow where it was brought Thursday night on No ?. A delegation of local Masons of which order the deceased was a member escorted the remains from the depot to the Masonic Hall where it will lie in state un- fil Sunday afternoon when inter- ment vii take place at the iorai cemetary.

Winslow, Arizona, Dec. 24.-
 When the hour for dismissing classes arrived Thursday there was general rejoicing by the two hundred and fifty or more schol- ars, who, however studious, al- ways welcome even a brief res bite from their books.

 At the conclusion of the pro- gram the Christmas tree, loaded with an abundance of good things, became the center of in. terest and was soon depleated by the distribution of the gifts among the little ones.
 The pleasures of the afternoon will long be remembered by al the scholars who were present.

CENTURESSAN- FEN VER-.
 DICT
Coroners JuryHolds Company Respon- siblefor Mrs. Ben
 nett's Death.

Winslow, Arizona, Dec. 24.- The coroners inquest, held at Flagstaff Friday and Saturday to determine responsibility for the death of Mrs. Alice Bennett i'll the wreck at Winona on Dec. 16th resulted in the follow ing verdict.
 We, the jury find that the deceased, Mrs Alice Bennett of East Hartford, Connecticut came to her death on the sixteenth day of December, through criminal carelessness on the part of the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company.
 Furthermore we recommend that the coroner take the neces- sary steps to bring to the notice of the grand jury at the next scs- sion of the district court, the fact that tLe railroad company, or it's employees caused the body to be removed from the scene of the wreck, thereby interfering mater tally with the coroner's jury in it's investigation of the matter and preventing them from seeur- ing promptly the effects on or about the deceased.
 Both train crews OH Nos. land $ at the time of ille accident were present at the hearing and were called in separately to give their testimony.
 Considerable time was spent by the jury i'll trying to locate a sum of money said to be on the person of Mrs. Bennett before the wreck but it's whereabouts was not disclosed until a telegram from the victims sister informed them where 1t might be found. Sixty. dollars was sewed up i'll her shirt and a ten dollar gold piece was in an inside bodice poe ket. A valuable watch is still missing.
 After the inquest was concluded the body was shipped to her home in East Hartford, Conn. on No. ? Monday night.
 Immediately after the corners jury had rendered it's decision the investigation of the railroad company was held Sunday morn ing i'll the office of Supt. E. J. Gibson. Every member of both train crews was on hand and an effort to fix the responsibility for the catastrophe was thorough. No decision has yet been reached and 1t it is thought some time may elapse before any announce mcnt is made. Meanwhile all the trainmen involved are work ing in their regular capacity.
 While the findings may result in q distribution of blame for the accident it is generally believed that a large share oft will rest upon the. fiagman of No. s, the testimony of witnesses being that he was not more than six car lengths from his train when No. | passed him.
