Why We Refused

THE NEWS is in receipt of an un- signed letter from Flagstaff regard ing the condition of the streets, alleys and back lots at the county seat. and claiming such conditions have tendency to drive away rather than induce tourists to re main and enjoy the fine climate during the summer months. The correspondent lays especial empha- sis upon the bad condition of the sidewalks, and seems to think the town council is to blame for the whole matter. Everything may be as alleged in the letter, but THE NEWS does not publish communion tions unless signed by the writer's name as a guarantee of good faith. And, then, some inquisitive indi- vidual from Flagstaff might come to Williams and attempt prone made over the sidewalks here. What excuse could we make? The pot should not make faces at the kettle for being black.

Mexican Ball Ends With Row

Saturday evening at the Opera House, the dance given by the Spanish-American club was broken up by one of the worst fights that has taken place in Williams for a long time. The club has given series of dances that have been very successful and also on the quiet order, this being the first out break.
 The trouble is said to have started over a charming senorita by two love-sick hombres. The knife was the favorite weapon in the conflict, and judging from the number of handaged heads and the appear ance of the hall, it was used very freely. Several of the participants were arrested Monday and paid fines.

Arrested for Stealing Saddle

Jack Farnsworth, who has re gently been in the employ of Ritter & Wade, was arrested this week for the theft of a saddle and arraigned in the justice's court. Farnsworth had the saddle in his possession when discharged by his employers and had not returned it. Some proof was in evidence that he had offered it for sale or trade, but it is generally known that Farnsworth has chronic ailment of wanting to trade everything he comes in con tact with, but so far he has not been known to have consumated any big deals.
 Many times. in his good natured way, he has offered to trade horses he was riding that did not belong to him.
 After taking these things into consideration, the court dismissed the case and the saddle was return ed to the owners.
