THE CLUBS NEED
 MORE PRACTICE

The ball game Sunday at the park was not as well attended as it should have been, but itwas a much better exhibition of real baseball than was the one of the Sunday previous. Several times during the game real baseball was on tap.
 Young's glass arm was working in fair shape, most of the time, and he struck out nine of the Swastikas. Had he been given proper support the Swastikas would not have been in it.
 The Swastikas have good club and they, are especially strong in having such a pitcher as Chavez. He is only a young chap, but the way he can sling them ever the plate is a puzzler to many of the old timers. He struck out six oi the Williams clubs best batters. Tho coore follows.

FIRE DESTROYS COT
 FACE AND CONTENTS

Fire Monday evening destroyed the cottage of Jas. A. Johnson on Williams avenue. The cottage was occupied by Mrs. Adelfson and her daughter, Mrs. Ellen Gregson. It is somewhat of mystery how the fire started. Mrs. Adelfson is visit ing in Los Angeles and Mrs. Gregson states there had been no fire in the house since early in the morning. She had spent the afternoon visiting with her friend, Miss Poison, and when she returned and opened the door the entire inside of the house seemed to be ablaze. The flames had gathered such headway that 1t was impossible to save scarcely any thing in the house.
 The loss will be very heavy for Mrs. Adelfson and Mrs. Gregson, as neither of them carried any insur- ance.
 It is understood MT. Johnson car ried considerable insurance on the building, but the amount is no1 | known

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
 CORNER STONE LAID

Short but appropriate exercises attended the laying of the corner stone of Williams public school building Thursday. The scholars gathered at the opera house at 11:30 and marched in a body to the new school building. The procession was headed by the Boys band.
 Arriving at the school building the band played "America,'' after which the pupils and citizens sang the song in a beautiful manner.
 Hon. c. B! Wilson, of Flagstaff, was then introduced and made a short but very appropriate address.
 In addition to articles taken from the corner stone of the building de stroyed by fire, which were all in good condition when taken out, there was placed in the corner stone Thursday copy of The Will jams New containing picture ot the old building and write-up oi the fire; names of all the pupils al the present time, names of tht teachers, names of the board o. school trustees, names of the archi tect and contractor and a number of personal cards.
 After the ceremonies were com pleted the band played a selection and the large crowd present dis persed.

WE'LL MAKE IT ONE
 THEY'LL NOT FORGET

Fred c. Shaw, manager of Hotel Fray Marcos, informs The News that there will be in the neighber- hood of two hundred people here on the night of June g, and that he will be able to accommodate about one hundred for rooms. The rest will have to be housed in the town, and anyone having rooms they want to let for that night will submit their lists to MT. Shaw and he will direct people to them.
 There are already 65 cars listed to take this trip, and as each car is restricted to exactly four people, no more, no less, this will make 26o people; but there is a chance of some backing out at the last min ute, so a fair estimate will be POO. The trip will be from Phoenix to Ashfork and then to the Canyon and return by way of Williams; but this has not been definitely settled as yet, as some want to go by way of Williams and then to the Canyon, thence to Flagstaff. This will be settled the coming week and The News will have it in it's next issue. The expedition is under the auspices of the Stude- baker company, and is limited to the use of Studebaker cars.
 Let's all get ready and show these people what Williams can do in the way of hospitality; every body get out and hustle and leave a lasting impression on these auto- mobilists from Los Angeles and Phoenix

RIFLE CLUB HOLDS
 ITS REGULAR SHOOT

Last Sunday the Rifle club held its regular shoot and had there not been several ''ifs" pop up at unex- pected moments, the seasons high score for the days shoot might have been close to the perfect mark.
 The strong, variable wind that prevailed during the contest was the direct cause of many poor shots. Bullseyes were more in evidence at this shoot than at any previous meet.
 Several of the members have been absent from several official meets and will be allowed to make up their score at later date. Bulls eyes were made by the following members: Kirkpatrick 3, Wade 3, Kinney ?, Thompson ?, Evans 1, Ellis 1. Following is the score.

 FAVORABLE REPORTS

Following are the reports o1 the committees appointed to investigate the various county offices and coun- ty institutions:
 We, the undersigned committee, duly appointed by MT. T. E. Pol lock, foreman of the grand jury, of the superior court of Coconino county, state of Arizona, which is now in session, and in pursuance to instructions given by said fore man of the grand jury, Se hereby report that we have visited the offices of the county recorder, board of supervisors and county treasurer for the purpose of looking over their offices as to the general con dition of each, and find that such records kept and maintained in each of the above mentioned offices and the general appearances were very satisfactory, and also the cler- ical work pertaining to each would indicate that it was performed in careful and efficient manner. (Signed) w. F. Griffin, F. l.. Dickinson and Elmer G. Carroll.
 The committee of the grand jury appointed to examine the county jail, court house and hospital, find the hospital in a clean and efficient state and the inmates we'll cared 1 for.
 I We earnestly recommend that steps be taken by the present board of supervisors to at once make plans to enlarge the county prison for the reason that the present jail is not large enough, the sanitary conditions are very poor, nor If
 there any place or privacy for fe
 male prisoners or witnesses hele
 
 for court. A heating plant for the court house and jail would be al
 economy and comfort. We further recommend that step
 be built going down from corrido to cages in the north apartmen
 and that the jail be calsomined il g all apartments; and, finally, W g recommend that term prisoners b 5 employed on public roads ant : streets of the county. 8 (Signed) Jl'ius Herman, D. Il 9 9 Ritter, J. c. Blake and James 1 s Byrnes.

WILLIAMS GETS A NEW
 DEAL ALL AROUND

The election for town officers last Monday was very quiet affair, but nevertheless the candidates for the various offices, aided by their friends, worked hard from the open- ing of the polls until time was called at 6 pin.
 The total vote did not reach 200 and this was a big disappointment to the office seekers. It was ex- pected that at least 250 or 300 votes would be cast.
 All the candidates for the town council on the good government Ii .ket were elected by good majori- tics. E. w. Carlson heads the ticket, having twelve votes more lan his nearest competitor, and by the rules of the game he will be our next mayor, if he so desires. c. E. Boyce comes next on the list and it is probable that if MT. Carlson does not care to be chosen mayor of the town Boyce will be the man.
 The other councilmen, A. G. Chis- holm, Geo. w. Mathews and l. P. McConkey, are all good and pro gressive business men and can safely be relied upon to work faithfully for the advancement of every inter- est of the town. Never since the town was incorporated has there b.cn greater need of a progressive to VII council than at the present time. We must have the streets an sidewalks put in frst-class con dition and it will be up to the coun- cilmen to make the first move, in the way of providing the money to do the work as it should be done. Go to it, gentlemen; you have the backing of every citizen of Will jams who has the welfare of the town at heart.
 The election for town clerk was not as close as many predicted, Nels Fousha winning by 8 large majority.
 T. F. Holden was elected towr marshal by vote of 103, Buoy 6 and Curtis 33. MT. Holden is to' well known to need any introduc tion, having been police officer il the county for many years. Ther is no doubt of his ability to fill tn position and The News wishes h may retire at the end of his officia career with as high regard of ou citizens as does his predecessor, C s. Patterson
 John Kraft will be our new stree supervisor, having beaten Jas. Rs gan by six votes. Patrick Johr ston made good race for the place receiving 54 votes. MT.

Jones shouted that there were only
two who then cheered for Blease,
but votes talked louder than cheers
and when the vote is counted it
will be seen that those that cheer
most vote least.
Judge Jones outlined his belief as
to the use of the pardon power, and
favored scientific agriculture. Lets
down with the demagogue," cried
Judge Jones in warm tones and a
few cheers rang out for Blease.
Judge Jones told several jokes
which were thrusts at those who were
cheering for Blease and he said the
cheering would be getting weaker
and weaker, and on the 9th of Au-
gust you will hardly hear it," He
was cheered. AS to second term for
Blease, Judge Jones said it was trait
orous to give man office for se,:-

Office. Judge Jones denied that he
was backed by corporations, and said
he knew the head of the Atlantic

to produce evidence if Evans did not
stop his attacks on the members of

would prove him to have had crooked
dealings with the State.
Mr.. Evans was allowed a short re-
ply to deny a statement made by At
torney general Lyon. Mr.. Evans said
that if Lyon had any records to show
he had dealt crookedly he would chal-
lenge him to produce them. Lyon re-
piled he would produce them at Bish-
