Holbrook argus., 1909-02-09

Last Monday the infant son of Mrs and Mir. Ignacio Padilla died all of a sudden at the ranch on the Puerco. Such a quick death aroused the suspicion of some of the citiz9n of Holbrook, and the county physician, Dr. Sampson, was immediately noti- fled He went to the Padilla home as soon as he could get there, and at once pronounced it an aggravated case ofdiphtheria. A sister and cousin of Mir. Padilla were also found to be af. fected with this dread disease, and precautions were taken to prevent its spread to Holbrook and vicinity. The cousin is re- ported as out of danger but the sister, a girl of twelve years of age, died Thursday and was bur jed Friday. Since then there have been no new cases reported and it is hoped and believed that the deadly disease has been confined to the home where it wrought such sad havoc. No one seems to know how this fatal maladv came to break out at this partic- ular place, but it is possible that it was brought in from Concho by a visiting relative. The sadly afflicted family have the sym pathy of the entire community.

Arizona Rangers May be
 Abolished.

The bill aDolishing the Arizona Rangers has been passed by both the Council and the House and it now goes to the Governor for his signature or veto. The main ar gument used in favor of the bill was that the Rangers were being used for politlcal purposes. It is thought that the Governor will veto the measure, but 1t is be- lieved that votes enough will be secured to pass it over the veto.
 The Council and House have also passed the bill abolishing the office of Public Examiner.
 A bill to establish a Railroad Commission has been presented in both houses and will come up for consideration early next week.

pose of the bill, but ANY school char
