Weeping Widow Quickly Weeds Consoler

c WAINSBORO, Outstanding beside D the open grave into which the body of her husband was about to be lowered, Mrs. J. J. Jewell was hyster- ical with grief, and friends had to re- strain her from throwing herself into the grave upon the casket of the man with whom she had lived happily for 15 years and who was the father of her six children.
 Women tried in vain to comfort her and the scene was an unusually pain full one until Robert s. Mcdaniel, young man who recently came here from Joplin, Mo, and who had become very friendly with Jewell, stepped close to the widow and whispered a few words through her heavy veil of black
 give the widow courage to bear up during the soul-trying "ashes-to-ashes, dust-to-dust" period of the ceremony and she waited through those painful moments with surprising fortitude, considering her pitiful condition be- fore the whispered consolation given to her by McDaniel.
 Turning from the grave when it was all over, she leaned on the, arm of Mo Daniel as she walked to the gate, where she and her children were helped into a carriage by kind-hearted neighbors and were driven to the fa- therless home, a little farm for which

Childish But Crafty

Mir. Hunts statement in an inter- view in the Arizona Gazette, Septem- Der 25, 1911, reading, "Oue of those Globe papers (referring to the Silver Belt and Globe Democrat) published the fact that I used to be waiter when l first came to Globe", is an unqualified lie. When MT. Hunt was at Phoenix presiding as president of the constitutional convention, the writer was editor of the Daily Globe here, whose plant was owned by Mir. Hunt and associates. The Daily Globe was supporting MT. Hunt heartily. October Is, 1910, the writer received the following communica- tion from MT. Hunt: "Mr. Joe Chis- holm:- You may wish to publish the enclosed clipping from a Phoenix newspaper. The clipping, which the writer published, as per Nr. Hunts request, the following day, October 17, 1910, read as follows:
 "An interesting scrap o- nforma- tion from the backward and abysm of time concerning the president of the
 
 ed by R. A. Windes, tor years Bap- tist minister at various points ip the territory. who believes the delegates chose wisely when they selected Hunt
 His interest in Hunt dates back twenty-siX years, when he was en- gagged in establishing the first Bap- tist church built in Globe.
 Dropping into J. H. PascOe's res taura Ut one day for dinner, a hand some youth of about eighteen years of age took his order, calling off the bill ot fare with all the alertness of an expert. Taking an interest in the lad, Windes learned that the man was George W. P Hunt He has kept track of him ever since as he 1 gradually forged to the front. Win des says that one thing that tende d to give him d favorable impression of the present constitution builder was that soon after their first meeting Hunt contributed five dollars toward the building of the new building, thus showing that he was willing to do his part toward the advancement of any good cause.'
 Hunts sneaking attempt to gain sympathy may seem childish, but it it crafty.

Randolph Surprised.

Upon the occasion of the visit of Senator to Clifton few days ago, MT. Ives told his audience how he assisted in the orga nizing of a Miners Union at the King of Arizona Mine several years ago against the wishes of Epes Randolph, President of the King of Arizona Company. At this juncture of his speech MT. Ives made the statement: "Epes Randolph is bitter-bitterly opposed to organized labor.''
 It occurred to the Editor of the Public Forum column that this was rather rubbing it in" on Epes Randolph. There arc few men of in telligence and good sense in this age who are opposed to the prin ciples of organized labor which organizations have been the means of increasing the wages and shortening the hours of men who labor for days wage. During the past week the following letter over the signature of Epes Randolph was received in Clifton:
 Tucson, Ariz., Sept. 23. My dear Sir:
 I am surprised at what you tell me regarding the public utterances of MT. Eugene s. Ives regarding myself, and am inclined to think there is some mistake about his having made such a statement. I am not running for any office nor am I running any body for office, nor taking any hand in this campaign except that Il shall exercise my privilege as a taxpayer and citizen to vote for the candidates whom I may believe to be best ftteu for the offices they seek, and I do not see why I should be drawn into this campaign in anyway. I will say how ever, for your information, that am not opposed to organized labor, nor to organized religion or | Catholic-nor to organized Free Masonry, nor to organized news papers nor to any other lawful orga- niza tion, not even organized politics. ,
 Remember in this campaign there are two sides to every story.

The Lie Is Passed

 That was deliberate lie on the part of Mir. Hunt. The two news papers referred to, the Arizona Daily Silver Belt and the Globe Democrat, the newspa pers here that do not sup port MT. Hunt, said nothing of that nature. Their files are complete and their managers invite inspection of their files for any statement of the kind. Moreover, no person connect ed with either newspa per has com municated with MT. Hunt in any manner whatsoever. MT. Hunt has said nothing to the editor of either
 newspaper. Neither the editor nor anyone connected with the Silver Belt has had any conversation with
 MT. Hunt since adjournment of the l constitutional convention. No one connected with the Globe Democrat has spoken to MT. Hunt since the ] newspaper has been esta blished. We hereby brand MT. Hunts statement
 that either newspaper has ever made such an assertion as an unqualified | lie. We also declare that MT. Hunts statement that he said anything | directly, through a second person, or
 by written communication, as de- | liberatc lie

RIO
Occurs On A Street Car In
St. Joseph, Mo.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 6.-The entire
last night to quell riot at Fifth and
Edmond streets, which arose over an
order to street car conductors not to
accept tickets detached from books.
For two hours the corner was
iammed by people who were trying 70
ride on street cars and pay their fares
with detached tickets. The conduct
ors, aided by extra help, were eject
ing the patrons whenever they refused
to get off.
The police did not interfere until
concerned, both the citizens and the
street Ger employees. More than
dozen arrests were made.
c. L. McPhail of Leavenworth, Kan,
was seriously injured when conduct
or threw him from car. His head
struck the pavement.
Chief of Police C. H. Haskell finally
ordered the street cleared. He per-
sonally took charge of the situation
and the crowd was dispersed. The
street car company then rescinded its
order and there were no more dis
turbances.
The trouble arose over the fact that
newsboys were selling the street car
tickets with papers The company,
in order TO break up this speculation,
issued an order that tickets would on
ly be accepted when not detached
from the books. The public seemed to
sympathize with the newsboys, for the
sale of tickets continued and the
trouble arose when the people tried to
tender the detached tickets for their
fare.
