Resolutions.

To the officers and members of
Winslow lodge No. $50, B. P. O.
E.:
We your committee appointed
to draft suitable resolutions of
coincidence and to set forth prop
erly the feelings of the lodge with
reference to the loss sustained by
our brother, F. w. Nelson, in the
death of his wife, beg leave to
submit the following, to-wit:
Whereas, In accordance with
the will of the Divine Arbiter of
human existence the Angel of
Death has entered the home of
our brother, F. w. Nelson, and
called hence the beloved wife and
mother; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the loss sus-
tanned by our brother and in this
his hour of grief and sorrow we
extend to him our sincere and
heartfelt sympathy, and tLat his
sorrow is our sorrow. For those
of us who were acquainted with
Mrs. Nelson feel that our own
hearts are bowed with grief; that
a noble woman has gone to the
Great Beyond. Those who knew
her best loved her most, and IN
contemplation of her untimely
d cath we must agree with HIM
who wrote: "The king of shad
ows loves a shining mark" A
true and noble wife, a self-sacri-
fcing and painstaking, as well
as a loving mother. A brilliant,
loveable and entertaining friend
and acquaintace, she thus en-
deared herself to all. Therefore
our sympathy With Brother Mel
son is the greater as his loss IS
the greater. We also extend sym
pathy to all the family, who by
her departure have lost dearly
beloved rela tive; and be

Entertainment Proves Enjoyable

An audience that taxed the
capacity of the Opera House
Monday evening greeted the first
reading room entertainment that
has been given in Winslow for
some time.
The program was excellently
rendered, each of the four lady
performers showing marked abil-
ity in her respective line.
The various numbers, vocal
and instrumental, deserved the
many encOres accorded by the
generous and appreciative audi
ence, though Miss Marguerite
Waugh in her performance on
the violin was easily the most
popular performer Miss Waugh
shows rare talent as a violinist,
her equal being seldom found
outside of the concert halls of
large cities. In ensemble, her
work was somewhat marred by
the shrill tones Of the cornet,
though in their individual roles,
each of the performers elected
unstinted approval
1t is hoped that the people of
Winslow will be given frequent
! opportunity 20 enjoy a musical
treat equal to the one provided
Monday night.

Martin Sheehy.

After brief illness which was
not regarded as serious, Martin
Sheehy, a we'll known railroader
who has been in Winslow most
of the time during the past fif-
teen years, died Sunday morning
at the Downs House.
At 5 o'clock that morning he
is said to have left his bed and
walked about town, returning a
short while later to his room.
He is thought to have died about
an hour later.
Justice Waite at once impan-
eled coroner's jury, and after
viewing the remains a verdict of
death from natural causes was
rendered.
Few old-timers were better or
more widely acquainted than
Martin Sheehy. A native of
Wisconsin, he came to Arizona
about fifteen years ago and for
many years was an engineer on
the Santa Fe. For a consider
able time he worked on a rail
road i'll Mexico as engineer. In a
wreck, which occurred there, he
had narrow escape from death,
being so badly scalded as to be
helpless for a long period. About
two mOntS ago he went to Ne
vada and served as stationary
engineer for a mining company,
but the severe weather there
caused his return to Winslow
week ago. Father Shechy of
Monrovia, Cal, is a nephew of
the deceased. Another brother
III Tomah, Wis. who was COM
municated, with requested that
burial be made in Winslow.
The funeral was conducted by
the local Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, of which the de-
ceased was a member.
The remains wore taken to the
Catholic church, where Father
Connolly conducted services, and
interment was made in the local
cemetery.

BABBITTS STORE
IS BUCLARIZED
Colored Man Suspected of
the Work Is Bound Over
to Next Term of Court.

Babbitt Bros Company arrived
at the store early last Saturday
morning he found the large plate
glass window of the hardware
department presenting the ap-
pearance of a map showing rail
road centers. Four holes of vary
ing sizes and countless cracks
bore testimony of a fusilade in
which the window had been
made a target during the night.
A collection of rocks and bolts
found in the store were preserved
for exhibits of the missiles used
in the bombardment. After an
inventory had been taken it was
found that FIVE revolvers Of 80
and 3S calibre, valued at $50,
were missing from the window
display of weapons.
1t is presumed that one or
more persons, bent on burg larry,
threw the stones from across the
street near the alley into which
they retreated to await the re-
suit of the noise made by the
crash before making their raid.
Whether firearms were the only
articles desired is conjectural.
At any rate their aim was di-
rected at that particular wind Q "
and a hole was made near the
lower easement large enough to
facilitate the extraction of revol-
vers. A number of rifles were also
witpin reach, but were evidently
considered undesirable for secre-
tion or negotiation.
Sheriff Woods, who was imme-
diately summoned, was early on
the scene and before noon had
rounded up several colored men,
on9 of whom, William Robinson
by name, was taken before Tus-
tice Waite charged with the
crime. Eight witnesses had been
subpoened by the state and tes-
titled to seeing Robinson Friday
night or Saturday morning in an
intoxicated condition trying to
dispose of revolver which cor
responded in appearance with
the type of those taken from. the
Babbitt store.
In his OWN defense, Robinson
pleaded not guilty, explaining
that the weapon he had in his
possession was the property OF
another colored man named
Jackson who requested him to
pawn it to relieve his financial
embarrassment. This claim by
the defendant brought out flat
denial from Jackson who said he
never owned a weapon.
An examination of Robinson
disclosed the fact that the pres
ent was not his maiden appear.

with his inability to satisfac

ion than more attaches nave been put

 necessary to Go the work: certainly
 this is true. if competency had been
 the requisite qualification in choos- ing employees. Another inexcusable extravagant feature is found in the
 fixing of pay for pages and chaplain. The chaplain and pages are paid ss lper day each; the chaplain is only required in the convention nall long enough to offer prayer at the begin ming of each days session and ths
 pages arc boys who are employed e
 messengers within the constitution
 hall. Mulford winsor tried to fix the
 pay of chaplain and pages at s2 in-
 stead of s5, thus checking fragrant
 raid on the money appropriated to
 meet convention expenses. but he
 was voted down by the majority. Should the constitutional convention display the same measure of ex. trasasance in providing officials and salaries for the new state as ii has in fixing the number of em pioyees and their pay in the con vention such action will be discour, aging to the tax payers. Economy and efficiency should be the guiding l rule in all government: public of. ieials src entitled to fair eompensa ttion, but ten-year-old boys are nos entitled to S per day in the constitu- tional convention We hope the mem eers of the convention will, for the of the session, show some regard for ehaciency and economy.

On Sunday in Los Angeles the vic tins of the Explosion in the office of the Los Angeles Times-nineteen in number, were laid to rest in Holly wood cemstery. Thousands attended the impressive funeral services at the Auditorium and beside the grave. The scenes of grief were heart rend- ing, as the widows and orphans lis- tened to a recital of that awful trag- edy which took them from fathers, brothers and sweethearts-sacrific which resulted from a contention of labor unions that no man has a right to seek and enjoy employment with ont subjecting his neck to the yoke of the walking delegate and labor asi, tator.

REGRETTABLE
 ExTRAvAGANCE.

It is regrettable that the constitu- tional conventions of both Arizona and New Mexico-one body demo- cratic and the other republican have indulged in extreme extravigance in the matter of clerks.
 The roll of hangers-on in each convention is an indictment of the sasiness sense of the delegates, who must be regarded both locally and abroad as representatives of the peo- pie of the two territories.
 The Arizona convention has pro vided-so far-for thirty clerks How many more will be appointed from time to tome. under the pressure from persistent constituents" rs- mains to be seen.

 Within the past two weeks commu- nicatfons have been received from both Bisbee and Douglas in regard to the music feature. Both of these towns have bands they are desirous of sending to the fair, and at the coming meeting the question will be settled.
 The contract for printing the off, cial score card of the fair races will also be let at this meeting. Another matter that will come up for disposition is the location of the street carnival that will be held during the fair. The commissioners have secured the consent of the city to the holding of tn ecarnival on the streets. but the exact location has not yet been decided upon.

Extravigance in this regard has made both territories uncomfortably ridiculous during every legislature.

THE MERRlM ENT OF THE SEASON.

Anybody with sense of hnmor il his makeup must be. amused ovei the sudden change of attitude as sumed by the Tucson Citizen anc Globe Silver Belt toward the peo pie of Arizona. The two organs oi Aldrich and Cannon simply dote or the people now-to take. their word for it. Only a few weeks ago these organs were planning to choke down the threats of the same people Of Arizona a canned constitution, pre-. pared in Washington and entrusted to the keeping of the federal office holders. It was then that the dear people cut very little ice with the or gans. The latter in their monumental conceit took it for granted that the people would follow them like flock of sheep. ask no questions and allow the self-appointed guardians to deliv- CT them over to the Hitchcock ma chine. So complacently confident were they of this result that they re- fused even to state what the canned constitution would contain. Their at- titude seemed to say that it was none of the peoples business. All the voters had to do was to cast their ballots as dictated, and Hitch cock, assisted by a few postnasters and other federal appointees, would do the rest.
 . Then came the awful shock of Sep tember F. The first impulse of the organs was one of childish anger. FoolishIy, they began to assert that congress would not accept any con stituton framed by the delegates elected by the people, and that state hood was doomed. Later, as their anger cooled, they began to fear that perhaps a constitution would be fram- ed that congress would accept Such a thing would never do-for the or gans. Hence this sudden esteem for the people and their alleged wishes These champions of the downtrodder are now giving advice to the constitu tionaI convention, and actually doing it in the name of the people. It il assumed, apparently, that the dele gates selected do not know what thu people want, but that organs ar' alone perfectly familiar with the pop ular demand And this demand is according to the new-found protect ors, for constitution so radical am encumbered that it would be rejecte' by the people themselves when sut mitted to them.
