Williams news., 1909-05-08

cer was looking for him he showed up in one of the Flagstaff hotels and was seen by X. N. Sleeves and
 Fred Lyon, engaging in brief conversation with the latter. A few minutes later Swartz left the place and a short time afterward Deputy Sheriff Woody. who was looking for him, appeared at the hotel. On being informed that Swartz had just left, Woody and
 Lyon secured the town, but were
 unable to find him. If the ground
 had opened and swallowed him, he
 could not have dropped from sight more completely.
 It is all mere matter of con- lecture as to where Swartz met his death, the motive that prompted
 the murder. and who the perpe- trators of the crime were, for it is probable that more than one was engaged in the commission of the deed. The theory is that Swartz was lured from Flagstaff, came to Williams on night freight. was killed just before entering the yards and his body carried to the place. where it was found. The fact that the soles and heels of the de- cease d's shoes were free from abra- sions or scratches, which otherwise would have been the case had he walked over the exceedingly rough ground leading to his place of burial, lends obability to the supposition. As to the motive for the removal of Swartz, the opinion prevails that he had in his posses sion discriminating evidence against certain parties, who, fearing expos ure, to ok this means of obtaining the doc uments and forever silencing the person who might divulge their guilt. The hat of deceased could not be found and the implements used in digging the grave, as we'll as other c.lues that might lead to the detec tion of the perpetrators, in the ev snt of discovery of the body, were removed.
 Swartz came here from Globe, where he a one time conducted second hand store. He had also lived in Bis bee and other towns in southern Ar izona. One of his part ners, Gates, left town several weeks before the disappearance of the

lock Gluck." The shoes were tan- colored and the soles and heels, the latter being of rubber, were almost new. H. c. Sanders, of the second hand store, stated that he had soled and heeled the shoes for Swartz some time last summer.
 When the clothing was carefully examined next day a detectives badge, known to have belonged to Swartz, was found pinned be- heath the lapel of the coat, and a badge of the Modern Woodmen of America in the buttonhole. With the exception of pipe, which was also recognized as the property of Swartz, no other articles were found on the body, the perpetrator of the crime having evidently stripped it of all letters, papers and any art5 cles of value that Swartz may have carried. It is known that he al ways had package of documents and a note book on his person.
 B. P. .Swartz disappeared last Sep tember. He came to Williams in the latter part of the previous June in company with a man named Gates. They started the Arizona Detective association and in a fe " weeks took into partnership a youn z fellow named Stevens. The agency was incorporated under the laws of the territory. Swartz was hes.d of the firm and he added as sit Ie lines to his detective work the co H. lection of bills and repairing of watches, his place of business bel ng in the rear of Morals saloon. He was looked on by most people as a harmless crank and was the butt of all jokes of the humorously in clined. His persistent logging of the footsteps of some ofour citizens, however, caused resentment and created several enemies.
 As near as can be ascertained, Swartz was last seen alive in Flag staff. It was during court week. and he had been summoned as a. witness in the Duncan murder trial. He was employed by friends of Dominguez, the man slain by Dun can, to gather evidence to be pre- sented at the trial. His fail- ure to appear at the appointed time caused the issuance of bench war rant for his arrest. While the off, ]

Freight Wreck at fairview

A rear end collision between two freight trains occurred last Satur. day morning at Fairview, a station IA miles west of here. It was the most disastrous wreck, in the extent of property destroyed, that has happened in this vicinity for some time. This is the third wreck near Williams within the past two months.
 In the collision at Fairview two freight trains, east bound. had taken the sidetrack to allow two west bound freight trains to pass. The first west bound stopped and the second came alo ng. tearing into the rear of the first train. The en- zine plowed through the caboose. completely ~recking it and tossing part of the framework on to the boiler, where it took fire. The flames spread to a car behind tho engine, contai ming wire, which was burne1., and also a carload of to- bacco. The men cut car of oil from the burnin g wreck and hauled it away to 8 ga fe distance. other wise the loss would have been grea ter. No one was injured.

Arizona's New Officials

Judge Richard E. Sloan took the oath of office and was declared gov ernor of Arizona at 12 o'clock last Saturday. A quarter of an hour later George U. Young was sworn in as secretary of the territory. The inaugural ceremonies were simple and of short duration.
 Ex Governor Kibbey, in present. ing his successor, made the predic- tion that Sloan would be the last territorial governor, as Arizona is on the eve of statehood.
 R. A. Kirk was appointed assist. ant to Secretary Young, and J. F. Cleaveland will succeed himself as private secretary to the governor. John B. Wright of Tucson has been appointed attorney general, vice E. $. Clark, resigned.

murdered man. The departure of the other, Stevens, occurred about the time Swartz vanished from sight. The absence of deceased created no particular notice at the time. as he was somewhat cratic in his habits, and his acquaintances supposed that he had gone to some other locality. although the circum- stance that he left his dogs locked in the room in which he lived and the further fact that he did not write to have his mail forwarded, a large pile of which had accumu- lated in the postoffice, caused some comment, but excited little interest.
 Sheriff Francis and Deputy Pull liam have began an investigation which promises to be searching and thorough. It is said, though the rumor may be but an idle one, that astounding revelations will shortly be made and that the identity of the men who killed Swartz, and the reason for his taking off. will be revealed in all the details.
 The coroner's jury, comprised of P. M. Shafer, J. s. Button. Fred Lyon, A. G. Rounseville and Tom Terrell, rendered the following yer dict: We, the jury, impanelled to view the remains of deceased, find that the body is that of E. P. Swartz and that he came to his death by 8 gunshot wound in- ficted by some person to the jury unknown.

A GRUESOME FIND
Remains of E. p. SWartz Are Discovered in Lonely Spot
 Near Williams
Bullet Hole Through Body of Detective Showed the Manner In Which
 He Met His Death

In a lonely spot on the crest of a hill two miles east of town and about a half mile north of the railroad track, the remains of a man were found last Tuesday by a Mexican who was herding a band of sheep in the vicinity. The body had been buried in a shallow grave and the rains had partially washed away the covering of dirt, exposing the skull to view.
 When news of the discovery reached town Coroner Rounseville and party of men went to the scene. The remains were exhumed and a hasty examination showed that the man had met death by violent means, a bullet entering the right side. passing through the body and emerging on the left side. The course of the bullet plainly showed that the missile had pene- trated the heart, and that the fatal shot had apparently been fired from 3S caliber pistol. There was but one bullet hole in the body.
 The clothing on the remains was in fair state of preservation, but the bones were almost entirely de- nuded of flesh. A portion of skin on one side of the skull served to preserve the contour of the coun- tenance and aided in the partial identification of the deceased even before all doubts of who he might be were set at rest.
 The shoes found on the body of the dead man were recognized as belonging to E. P. Swartz, an in dividual known locally as "Sher-

4 MINING MANS OPINION

Prospectors in and going into the lately discovered gold fields in and about Vicksburg and Salome, will soon be retreating to a more congenial cline on account of the torridity of the intense heat. Min CTS now in that boneyard country who will not take warning of the suns oncoming disintegrating op- pressiveness will surely suffer the inevitable consequences. It is well known by all old timers in the country that the absence of mois- ture and water is an axiom of meteorological conditions there.
 William Wilson, resident of Flagstaff, who was visiting our city last Sunday, and is the owner with George w. Glowner of some as valuable mining property in that country as it contains. is an old Colorado and Arizona mining man and prOspector, and IS the orlglnal discover of the General Grant and other rich mines in that most deso- late region. Mir. Wilson has had nearly quarter of century's experience in that sun-cursed land and is as hardy an explorer and prospector and can see as deeply into the ground or through a boul- der, and extract from it as many colors therein hidden, as any man that ever swung a pick or touched off a dynamite stick; and he says that, while the country is now overrun with miners and near miners, they will, before the sizzling blast of the suns blazing rays, migrate just as hastily as they can possibly get out. Hence that God forsaken country will be depopu- lated until the cooling breezes of next fall intervene. MT. Wilson gives it as his unqualified opinion that the country is as rich as any ever discovered or to be discovered in the great southwest.

WARNER

The picnic was complete success,
everybody in attendance was we'll
pleased and the remark has often
been made that there was not an
angry word or an oath heard on the
grounds all day. The Woodmen had
a stand on the grounds in charge of
Nat Carver who was busy all day,
selling lemonade, ice cream, candy,
fruit and firecrackers. The Bowery
dance was well attended and altogether
the Woodmen realized nice little sum
which goes to the benefit of the lodge.
At the picnic we had visitors from
Hawkins, Glen Flora, Tony, Bruce,
Barron, Cameron, and Thornapple
Dam. They all found plenty to eat.
Miss Hazel Reeves, of Bruce, was
in Warner on the third and forth visit
ing with Bessie Fritz.
Our town board was over in the
Beebe settlement last Saturday, laying
out roads and letting contracts for
road work.
Mr.. Gerard received a letter from
nj. o. Bell, of Galveston, Indiana, say
ing that he would have his saw mill
here in six weeks.

Washington Teacher Officiates at Grid

AS far as is known Miss Lillian
Merrell, school teacher OF KaIama,
Wash, is the only woman who has the
distinction of having refereed foot
ball game or basketball game
played by men.
Saturday high school teams repre-
senting Kalama and Castle Rock
played in the former town, and Miss
Merrell was the referee. Her work
was entirely satisfactory to both
teams. More than this, Miss Mefrell
coaches basketball and football in the
Kalama schools. She is well versed
in the rules of both games, and when
in college was a star basketball player
herself
While refereeing a game she wears
short skirts, and is fast enough to be
on hand to pass on any close play.
Every one knows that the play shifts
rapidly from one goal to another, and
it seems almost impossible that
woman would be equal to the task
Of acting as referee. But Miss Mer-
rell declares she has little difficulty
seeing all the plays and that she has
studied the rules until she knows
them by rote

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS.
Experiment in London Has Proved a
Great Success.

Great Success.
London is experimenting with open
air schools. They are for poor chill
dren, their session is from June l to
Oct 81, and they are proving a sue
cess.
The beginning was made last sum
mer, and was purely experimental.
The authorities made grant of 400
pounds to see how the thing worked.
They have increased the appropria-
ton for next summer to 1000 pounds,
and three schools will be established.
Each school will accom- modate sew
enty-fve children, divided into three
classes of twenty-five each The staff
will consist of one head teacher, three
assistant teachers, a nurse, cook and
helper and a janitor.
OF course, there are buildings
which are occupied part OF each day,
as we'll in pleasant as in unpleasant
weather; but unless the weather is
hopelessly bad almost all the time is
spent in the open air A blackboard
On an easel is set up on the grass,
and the chairs of the pupils are
grouped before it.
The children are small, and the
course of study is light There are
games, too, calisthenics, nature study

these in physical Improvement are
said to be very gratifying. The chill

An Insomnia Cure.

An amusing story is told of the late
bishop Of London, DR.. Creighton, and
Lord Rosebery Lord Rosebery com
planned to the bishop of want of sleep,
to which the bishop replied that he
never suffered from insomnia. The
earl observed that he wished he knew
the remedy. The bishops formula
was very simple. If he felt drOwsy
he started to write a sermon, and in a
few moments he was wide awake. On
the other hand, if he wanted to sleep,
all he had to do was to start to read
a sermon Then sleep came in few
seconds. Lord ROsebery, we are told,
replied that it was his practice to
choose the lesser evil, and he pre-
ferred want of sleep to reading SER
mons.

No Store Shoes for This Indianan.

If visitors to the state fair see a
big. tall man going about the ground
in his bare feet they need not think
him crazy or poor. 1t will in all proba-
bility be George o. Hawk, a prominent
farmer of this county, who clings to
his boyhood custom of going barefoot.
He is six feet six inches tall and
weighs 225 pounds. He is the only
man in the county who goes barefoot
and refuses to be made uncomfortable
when away from home by having his
feet pinched into shoes. He recently
made a business trip co Chicago in his
bare feet and went skoeless to Nj
agara Falls and Toronto.
