WINSL0W AND FLAG
STAFF CROSS BATS

Winslow and Faffstaff played
the second game of ball to be
played on the Winslow diamond
last Sunday. We were in hopes
of being able to report winner
for the home team from the in
ferences made before the game,
but alas, our hopes were shat
tered. Shattered worse this
time than the other. On account
of some minor differences among
the players, the staff of lite OF
the Winslow team, Baca, who
had been pitching, refused to en-
ter the game, and the result was
there was no twirler to do the
twisting job for Winslow, and
Flagg put the everlasting crimp
to every ball that came any
where near the plate. Sad to
relate, these things, but never
theles we have nerve enough to
to try it again.
So Sunday, May 14th, we are
going to Williams and il we
don't skin that team to a finish
for revenge there will be another
good reason for it. We are good
at finding reasons, even if we
can't find the ball as it whizzes
over the plate.
Owing to pressing business,
MIR. Campbell has resigned the
the management OF. the team,
and has been succeeded by Mr..
Barclay, who will be the tall
guy hereafter, and be held re-
sponsible tor the weak points
of the team, and all of their bad
plays, which we hope in the
future will be few.
The lineup for next Sundays
game is here given: Barclay, c.;
Baca or McCauley, p.;Lowman,
1b.; Duggar, 2b; Payne, 3b.;
Arce, SIS; Jones, IT,; Reno, .cf.;
Dickerson, IF.
The case of Joe Thomas, d
player who has been Juggling
things to get a little more coin
out of the league by switching
from one team to another as he
tancied he saw a better chance,
will be taken before the manag-
ers at Flagstaff Sunday, when
they will decide the best thing
to do with him, as the feeling he
has created among the players
is anything but desirable.
Prescott and Williams did as
we'll on the Prescott dia amond
last Sunday as the teams did
here When the teams left the
field the score stood % to 0 in
favor of Prescott

Irregularity in Advertising

XV1HAT would you think of a salesman who re-
w ported for duty one day, laid off for two only
worked half day. went off for week and so on
without any regularity? Surely you would not expect
good service from such And yet some merch-
ants hold advertising which is simply Salesman
up to great results when it is allowed work" very
regulary. The fact that advertising costs money is
proof of its value. Things without are usually
worth only their price.

The following was adopted as
a declaration Of the purposes Of
the Order:
"The objects and purposes Of
the Society are and shall be his
torical and social, that is to say:
to collect collate and compile
data events and incidents relat-
ing to the early history of
Northern Arizona, and to chron-
icle and record some of the ad-
ventures, experiences and remi-
n1scences of the members of the
society, and to publish such ad
ventures and incidents when the
society shall SO order, under
such rules as the society may
prescribe. Further, to collect,
gather, keep and safely preserve
any and all valuable papers, rel
les of the pioneer days Of North
ern Arizona, and to exhibit the
same to the general public at
such times and under such rules
and regulations as the society
shall direct and prescribe. Fur
ther, to strengthen the bonds of
friendship and esteem that now
happily exist among the mem
bers of the Society"
Throughout the evening it
was observed that Theodore
Shuhin appeared eager to make
the first contribution to the his
torical archives of the Order, by
narrating and having duly
chronicled some reminiscence
dealing with his early relations
with the Navajoes and Apaches
but it was deemed best to post
pone the recital of adventurous
experiences until a competent
stenographer could be secured
and thus preserve to posterity
the thrilling experiences which
will be related by members as
soon as the organization is un-
der full head way.
Tom Hesser, who regretted
his inability to be present Wed
nesday evening. promises to be
present at the next meeting and
exhibit a scar showing that he
was shot in the heel with an ar
row by an Apache brave in
1871.
Dad French is also expected
to occupy an evening with
tale of a lost mine, and Doc
Demarest will make contribu
tions of photographs of Wins
low, taken when there was only
a hitching post in town.
Altogether, a good time is
looked for by members and spec
tators and the Society desires it
to be understood that ladies
who can conform to the eligibil
ity qualification as to residence
will be welcomed to member
ship.
The next meeting will be held
at the city hall, Monday even
ing, May Is, and a large attend
ance is desired.

that something like eighty-four

WOOL GROWER MURDERED
BY DRUNKEN MEXICAN

with Deyardo while attempting
to escape that he would have
been summarlly dealt with.
Deyaldo has been in the en-
ploy of Mr., Hutchinson for a
good many months. His late
visit to Humboldt was the first
time that he had visited a town
IN the last six months. He had
become violently drunk and had
caused considerable trouble at
the sheep camp before the mur-
der. Although he boasted of his
proves with the rifle, he was
apparently not feared by Mr..
Yeager, with whom he had been
on the best of terms.
Mr.. Yeager was thirty-four
years OF age. A wife and three
daughters of tender years sur
vive him. The news of the muir
der was Immediately telephoned
to his father at Phoenix. He
was prominent in Masonic fra.
ternities, holding em'~crship in
the Flagstaff Blue Lodge Wins
low Chapter and Prescott Com
mandery, Knight Templar.
A pathetic feature of the muir
der of Mr.. Yeager is that Ben
Yeager, one of his four brothers,
with whom he was associated
III business, is seriously i'll in
the Mercy Hospital in Phoenix,
recently submitting to an opera
ton following a fall from his
horse at Morristown. Ben Nea-
gers life was despalred of until
after the operation He is re-
ported sloN4s.ree 9%assReg, and IL
is believed will survive in the
event that he is not informed OF
the tragic death of his brother.
No murder of recent years has
so aroused the people of North
ern Arizona to such high pitch
of excitement as that of MIR.
Yeager. He was one of the most
popular men in the entire West,
enjoying the highest standing in
business and social circles. The
sympathy of all who knew hin
goes to the grief stricken rel l.
tives i'll their deep bereavement.

KNOWN throughout the west, ,
was shot and instantly killed
Tuesday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
at Bowle's watering place on
the Aqua Fria, a half mile south
OF Humboldt, by Alexander De-
yardo, a mexican sheepherder
The firit rifle bullet entered his
left cheek coming out through
the lobe of the right ear and the
second entered the right breast
two inches above the nipple pas
sing through the body and out
under the right shoulder blade.
Deyardo fled Immediately after
the shooting and was captured
an hour and a half later by Joe
Cenci, Ben Mowdy, Deputy
Sheriff Campbell and two others
in the vicinity of the bridge over
the Aqua Fria river at Dewey.
The murder OF Mr.. Wager was
cold hlooded and unprovoked
.ur. Wager left Prescott Tuesday
morning, taking the early train
to Humboldt.
He went from there to Bowle's S
watering place where he found a
band of his sheep mixed with a
band belonging to c. {. Hutc h.
inson He noticed Deyardo, one
of the herders of Hutchinson a. $
flock 1ntoxicat ted and armed
with rife.
He took the rifle from Devardo
and unloaded it. Later he re-
turned i TO nevardo and start
ed with others to seperate the
mixed Aocks.
Deyardo objected to the work
and later without warning shot
and killed Mr.. Yeager. The fore
man of the Hutchinson inte rests
was present and a witness to
the murder.
The news of the shooting was
carried to Humboldt at once and
Deputy Sheriff Campbell was
soon in the saddle. Telephone
messages were sent to Dewey
and almost every m IN owning a
rifle started in pursuit of the
murderer.
Joe 4Ceneil, saloonkeeper at
Humboldt mounted his horse
and rode rapidly to Dewey and
secured a rifle. He was soon in
sight of Deyardo, who was MAX
ing his way north along the
Aqua Fria, armed with his rifle.
He hailed Ben Mowday of Hum
boldt, who was also in the man
hunt and they were soon within
shooting distance OF the murder
er and were joined by Deputy
Sheriff Campbell and two others
when they called to BIN to halt,
looking along the barrels of their
cooked rifles.
At first the mexican refused to
surrender, but when called upon
to lay down his weapon for the
third and last time, he obeyed
and was taken in custody.
While being taken to Hum
boldt he talked in a wild and in
cOheraut manner and in one OF
his lucid moments said, 81 don't
know why | killed Mr.. Yeager, he
was my best friend | shot a
man in Texas once and stood oft

FORM ORGANIZATION

stitution and Bylaws.

formally organized andi it is now
up to the younger generation
and tenderfeet generally to sho W
proper respect to the old timers
who can tell them right off the
reel-if the young will only stop
long enough 70 listen-just how
things started IN Northern Ari-
zona.
At we'll attended meeting Of
the ancient and honorable old
guard at the city hall Wednes-
day evening, an organization
was perfected and the enthusi-
asm of those present IN launch
ing the society will be sufficient
momentum to carry it a long
way on the road to success.
Theodore Shuhin, who p1on-
eered before most of the other
pioneers got started, announced
that he visited Flagstaff recent
ly, where the ancients of that
section have a hourishing or
ganization, and brought back
with him copy of their consti-
tuition and bylaws, which he
laid before the meeting for con-
sideration.
After some discussion it was
decided to adopt the Flagstaff
constitution with the exception
of the provision applying to
membership qualification which
prescribes continuous residence
since 1886. Twenty years was
deemed sufficient length of
time to pioneer in this section of
the Territory in order to merit
the name OF "oldtimer," and ac-
cordingly 1890 was fixed upon
as the most recent date accept
ed as starting point for Wins
lowites, or in fact any resident
of Navajo or Apache counties.
Some of the most prominent
graybeards who are looked upon
as the cornerstones of primeval
times we're conspicuous by their
absence, such, for instance, as
Doc Demarest and Dad" French
but Theodore Shufin promised
to round them up with about
hundred more for the next meet
ing.
There was some disposition to
question the eligibility of certain
ones present, particularly c. ].
Spellmire, who claimed twenty
years and three months contin-
uOus residence in Northern Ari-
zona without acquiring the req
uisite gray hair or furrowed
cheek so necessary to acceptance
of claim to being an Indian
fighter. Upon his representation
that he had personal acquint-
ance with Geronimo and Rain
in the Face before Winslow had
acquired the dignity OF flag
station, he was informed that
he would be required to present
proper credentials at the next
meeting.
Pop Seeger favored making
sixty years the period for eligi-
bility for membership, but the
proposition was voted down as
likely to result in too exclusive
a membership.
The following officers were
then elected:
w. ]. Burke, President; c. ].
Spellmire, Vice President; Chas.
Calm, Secretary; w. T. Williams,
Treasurer; Theodore H. Shuhin,
Sentinel.
Trustees. Fred Seeger, Frank
Ketchum, Magnus Rosenberg.
Membership fees were fixed at
$500, with $500 annual dues.
There was a sentiment IN favor
of having initiation exercises,
but after some discussion 1T was
decided that the modern prac-
tice of riding goats would be

A Good Show Coming

On Monday, May 18th at the
Opera House there will appear
the New York Comedy Success,
The Poor Mr.. Rich. This side
splitting comedy has been an in
slant hit wherever it has ap-
peared. In this high class com
pany there are some of the fun
n1est comedians before the public
this funniest of all funny com
edies which is built for laughing
purposes only, is scream from
the rise to the fall of the curtain,
and it is comedy gem without
a flaw. First you smile, then
you laugh and then you roar,
and it is a sure cure for the blues.
Eddy Holly as the poor Mr.. Rich
is known the world over as the
emperor of mirth and in that
role is good for a laugh minute.
Melville Drink water as Mr..
Ketchup who is under a shadow
of a dark cloud, is character
comedian of rare ability and he
never fails to keep his audience
fn=ctne round Of laughter, Louis
Healthy, the we'll known Irish
comedian, as Mr.. Ring of the
Echo Cafe, lives up to his repu-
tation as laugh producer. Ben
Bernard, as Mr.. Hogg, an honest
lawyer, is a scream, the more he
talks the more you laugh,
Francis Ellen Holman, who
plays the leading female role, is
an actress of great ability and
as a character actress has few
equals and as Miss Ketchup,
who is rich in name, but poor in
prospects. Ia this part she has
been praised by the press and
public wherever she has APP
peared as the funniest Of all
funny character women. Evelyn
Clarkson, the charming little
soubrette, as Miss Cellaneous is
as clever as there is on the stage
today and one of the youngest,
Lillian Rose as Mrs. Stone, who
has a heart harder than her
name indicates, is laugh from
start to finale and as an old
woman character is in Il class
by herself. This high class az
gregation will show i'll Winslow
one night only and that is Mon
