SHOULD ORGANIZE
 A FIRE COMPANY

The frame building on the corner of Second street and Sherman ave. nue, caught fire from some unknown cause on Friday afternoon of last week, and before the fire was dis. covered, the building with it's con- tents was almost totally destroyed. The house was owned by the Gap. Smith estate and occupied by John Casad. The greater part of MT. Casad's wardrobe went up in smoke, only few trifling articles of wear ing apparel being saved. The total loss was about $500.
 The work of the citizens in saving adjacent property is commendable. With the strong force of water at command, they succeeded in confin- ing the fire to the one building. In fact, after the stream was turned on it was but few minutes until the flames. which had gained great headway, were extinguished.
 A volunteer fire company should be immediately organized in Will jams. There is good material here for the formation of a fire-fighting brigade, and concerted action in the matter should be taken at once. Many citizens have expressed them- selves as heartily favoring such an organization, and a movement should be started without delay in furtherance of the project. This is a move that should, and unques- tionably would, meet with the assistance and earnest cooperation of all of our citizens.

BADLY WOUNDED IN
 ATTEMPTED ROBBERY

I That some of the thugs and | hold-ups that have been terrorizing
 Los Angeles in the past have drift
 ed to Williams, is evident from the
 number of crimes recently com
 mitted in this vicinity.
 Early last Sunday morning. while
 Marshal Patterson was making the
 rounds of the railroad yards, he
 heard four shots fired in rapid succession. Unable to locate the particular place from whence the shots came, the marshal hurried toward the depot. Arriving there he found Mexican. who said that he had been wounded in an at tempted llold-up. The Mexican. whose name is Pedro Ladesna, was taken to Dr. Townsville for sur gical aid. The doctor. on examina- tion. found that bullet had entered the mans upper lip, tearing it's way through the head and lodging near the back of the neck. Dr. Rouns- vile extracted the bullet. and also the steel jacket in which it was en- cased, from the wound, besides one of the mans teeth.
 Marshal Patterson, with but a slight clue to work upon, as the description Ladesna could give of his assailants was very meager, started out in search of the guilty parties. He went to the place of the hold-up as soon as it was light enough to see, and following tracks from the place, came upon a Mexi- can lying underneath a tree near the old smelter. The Mexican gave the name of Donicio Granada, said he had just been shipped out from Los Angeles and denied all knowl- edge of the crime. He was turned loose.
 In the meantime the marshal got tip that Jose Reyes, another Mexican, was implicated in the attempted robbery and he was taken into custody. Reyes, it will be remembered. is the same party who. short time since, robbed the Grand Canyon drug store and took a shot at Dr. Jeffries when the lat ter attempted to effect his capture. Subsequent investigations con- vinced Marshal Patterson that Granada knew more of the Sunday morning affair than he cared to divulge and he was rearrested. A mild application of the third de- gree" refreshed his memory greatly. He confessed that he was with Reyes and two other Mexicans at the time of the hold-up; that Reyes did the shooting; that companion of Ladesna's, the man shot, had cut one of the assailants with a knife or razor, and that Reyes had used pistol of the Lugar pattern. The weapon was afterward found at Quaiada's saloon, where it had been pawned. Granada, however, denied any direct complicity in the affair.
 Ladesna had nearly $40 on his person, but he managed to escape with his roll intact. Reyes was taken to the county jail to await the result of the injuries of the wounded man, who ia now in the hospital.
 Constable Postle and Deputy Sheriff Pulliam have been securing the country the past week in an effort to round up the balance of the gang of criminals, but up to the present writing have been un- successful in experimenting them, nor have they been able to locate the man who was with Ledesna at the time that he was shot.

NOTES OF BASEBALL
 GAME LAST SUNDAY

Manager Ben Sweetwood of the Williams baseball team, with his corps of able assistants. was out bright and early Sunday morning to put "dear old Williams" on the map of the Northern Arizona base ball league. By 2 o'clock the grand stand and bleachers had assumed metropolitan appearance.
 Our team of youngsters-few of whom have yet reached their ma- jority-arrived at the grounds early in the afternoon. Captain Cline, having had a real good old Arizona dinner, came out primed to do his best with the material he has.
 The preliminary workout of the kids" was real good, with flashes here and there of big league per formance. Mccormick, the speedy backstop. did valiant work. His eye was triffe dim, but he picked off few good ones at the bat and finished in the 400 class. The De Arce. boys displayed considerable pepper, Del pitching an unusually good game. Ted De Arce covered acres of territory and scooped them up'like veteran. Captain Cline pitched good game and at times showed old Ed Walsh's speed.
 That speedy ball player, Tom Maddock, covered third in splendid style. and barring a few errors, none of which affected the result of the game, resembled Captain Lord of the White Sox. He was there with the willow and laced them out to the far corners of the lot. Dolly Gray displayed flashes of Johnny Evers at second. He picked them off his shoe laces, far up in the sky, and at times mounted the grand stand for the high ones.
 The outfeld was some pumpkins. The fleet footed young "Scotty,"l Sunny Snow and others of lesser note performed we'll. Sweeney showed good form. One of the boys raised right here in Willia ms, "Hoolie," as he is nicknamed, made a favorable impression back of the bat. A little more practice, good breast protector and pair of shin guards will fit him for the grueling contest of the coming season. Pierce is another player who is not shy of baseball knowledge. Ellis, in the field, gathered in everything coming his way. He appears to know the game. "Hap" Hogan was at home on first. He scooped them up out of the dirt, gathered them in a bushel basket. and was seen carrying one to the umpire on silver platter.
 The work of the Williams boys, considered as a whole, was very good for the initial appearance. They seem to have the proper spirit aud work we'll together. If they'll only practice constantly, there is no reason why they should not begin the season right at the top and finish it in the same position.
 BASEBALL NOTES
 The Williams team will go to Winslow to play tomorrow. Let's get up an excursion and root our boys to victory.
 Agent Nordyke has arranged for a special rate of $4.95 for the round trip from Williams to Winslow to- morrow.
 Earl Nordyke, the baseball treas urer, is going to make another col lection in short time. Get your money ready.
 Flagstaff is going to run an ex- cursion to Prescott for their opening games, April 29 and 30.
 The dance for the benefit of the Williams baseball team will take place Friday, May 7. Buy ticket and attend. There will be a quad rille for those who cannot two-step or waltz.
