day of events at Maple Lake. By far
the most exciting thing that ever hap

two of our most prominent lake dwell

in broad daylight and in the most
thickly settled part of the lake, in III"

now GEO. CURRY DIED.

Three times George Curry, |
now congressman from New
Mexico, has read ACCOUNTS of
his own death. He grew SO ac-
customed TO beirg regarded as
dead that if he were to pick up
the morning paper at the break
fast table now and see his own
obituary he wouldn't even at
tach enough Importance to the
item to mention it to his family. |
The first time Curry was Kill. !
ed was back in 81. He went
from New Mexico to Trinidad
to pay a game of baseball, and
while there shared a hotel room
with stranger who was about
to set out for the wilds to buy
cattle. THIS stranger got up to
make an early start, and by mis-
take put on Curry's vest, The
next day he was shot and rob
bed, out in the hills, and the on
~ thing to identify him by was
q letter in his vest pocket adj
dressed to Geo &c Curry. The
coroner at Trinidad then and
there held an inquest in which
he adjudged George Curry to be
dead, That news was sent oul
by the Associated Press, and
when Curry got off the train on
his return to New Mexico the
first people he saw were two ri
val undertakers who had come
after him
Just twenty years later, when
Curry was inaugnrated COVER
nor of New Mexico, the coroner
who adjudged him dead joIrn-
eyed from Colorado to Santa Fe
just for the satisfaction of see
ing a dead man made governor.
On another occasion Curry
was supposed to have been kill
ed in fight on the plains and
his obituary was flashed over
the country.
Then, at The battle of San
Mateo, in the Philippines, where
Gen. Lawton was killed, all of
Curry's company persisted but
him, and he was supposed to
have been included. But the
Filipinos liked Curry, and they
purposely allowed him to ESCAPE
He had to go without food fol-
two of three days, but merely
frightened his belt and kept or
his way.
Curry was at one time an out
law. When he was cowboy
he got into a row with the Ter
ritorial government over som,
land grants, and Il company o
militia was sent to arrest him
But Curry didn't pr, pose to b,
arrested, as it was mucl' pleas
anter in the mouptains at tina
season than in jail. and lie an,
his cowboy friends chased I'll
militia away. When he got a
round to it Curry went an,
allowed himself to he arrested
and received his mail at tn
county bastile for a while. Blu
such was his popularity that il

HON. H. A. DAVIS ON
 WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE

Senator H. A. Davis of Phoenix addressed the people of Williams at the opera house on Wednesday evening on some of the issues that are to come before the people on the 5th day of November for their ratification or rejection, and he de- tended some of the corporation measures that are referred to the people. He stated that the corpor- ations were charging that members of the legislature were doing things that were unbecoming an honest man, and he felt it his duty to go out and defend them, as he was a member of the higher branch of the state legislature at the last session.
 The principal part of MT. Davis address was in defense of woman's suffrage. He stated all the reasons why a man should be allowed to vote, and then said that if anyone could tell why that women should not be allowed the same privilege he would be glad to hear it. He said that he had studied the matter very carefully before arriving at the conclusion that women should vote, and that he could see no valid reason why they should not be al- lowed the same rights that are en- ioyed by men.
 The Senator proved himself to be one of the finest speakers the peo- pie of this town have had the pleas ure of listening to in some time. He is a gentleman and a scholar and a man of rare oratorical abil- ity, and one for whom higher hon. ors await in the new state of Ari- zona. The people of Williams were very fortunate in securing the ser vices of the senator in explaining the measures that are to be voted upon at the election. Senator Davis has demonstrated his friendship for this section, and we all welcome him to our town. The meeting was presided over by Judge Harben, who introduced the speaker in a few we'll chosen and appropriate remarks.

ROOSEVELT HOME
 IMPROVING FINELY

New York, Oct. 22.- Roosevelt arrived at the Pennsylvania station shortly after 8 o'clock this morn ing. He rested we'll throughout the night and his physicians stated that he is little worse for the trip from Chicago. The colonel's spe- cial car and car conveying the physicians and newspaper men pro- ceeded at once to Oyster Bay. On the advice of his physicians a dem- onstration which was planned was not held.
 Unless a serious setback occurs in the expected improvement of Colonel Roosevelt's condition, he will make his scheduled speech at the progressive mass meeting at Madison Square Garden on October 30, according to an announcement made by Progressive State Chair man Hotchkiss. This is expected to be the ex-president's only ap- pearance in this state during the campaign, Hotchkiss said. His other speaking dates will be filled by Gov. Johnson, Oscar Strauss, progressive candidate for governor; Senator Clapp, Bourke Cockran, and others. Johnson, Strauss and other candidates will speak at the Madison Square Garden meeting.

WATER COMPANY HAS
 COMMISSIONS O. K.

The corporation commission af- ter consideration on the applica- tion of the Williams Water and Electric company, has decided to allow the new concern to take over the assets of the Grand Canyon Electric Light & Power Co.,, and will issue an order to that effect in a few days. The hearings in the matter, however, are not vet quite completed. The Water and Electric company has also an ap- plication for permission to place $250,000 bonds on the market for the purpose of conducting improve ments to the present plant.
 However, the new company Is going right ahead with its many improvements in the way of new machinery in the power house, ex- tending the water mains and get ting things in shape to greatly in crease the storage capacity of the city dam.
 Ic is not expected that any com plications will arise to cause fur ther delay, and Manager Slower, stated that he expects to have the Improvements completed within a year.
 With an adequate supply of good water for domestic and fire pur- poses there will be nothing what ever to hold back the town of Will jams, and in few years it will be the leading town of northern Ari- sona. The lack of fire protection has been the main cause of the town not forging ahead. With the organization of a paid fire depart ment, which is an assured fact, the town will grow and prosper as no other town in northern Arizona.

CIRCUS DAY WILL
 SOON BE HERE

Read what the Winnipeg Free Press has to say of the Al C.. Barnes circus:
 The Barnes shows have come and gone, and every person of the many thousand who were in attendance pronounce 1t to be the very best show that has ever been seen in Canada. It is strictly an animal performance, the performance being animals assisted by their trainers. The Al G. Barnes show is distinc- tive credit to owner, managers and trainers. It is one show upon the road that depends upon trained ami mals of every description as its per formers. Barnes show is a big three ring show, the center ring be- ing a cage forty feet in diameter, made of heavy iron bars, affording absolute protection to the audience. Inside of the cage Martha Florine introduces her speciality. which in cludes six Persian spotted leopards and two South American partners. This lady is one of the foremost fe- male animal trainers of the world.
 Among the special features are Emery's Siamese elephants; Mime. Ricardo's Bengal tigers; Thornton's S Russian bears; Clarke's Arabian stall lions; monster lions, riding horse back; Piro's dogs, goats and mon keys; Florine's Persian leopards; Ricardo's 22 African lions; Marsel- liars performing pumas; Clarke's high school horses. To our mind the star attraction of the Barnes show is the performing sea lions; they ride horseback, play ball, climb stairs and other interesting stunts.
 In conclusion we will say that the Al G. Barnes show is the cleanest and most interesting which has vis- tied Canada and a return visit is wished for in the near future.
 Come to town early and see the street parade.

Hamilton Sent Up

Charles L. Hamilton entered a plea of guilty to the charge of big amy in the United States court to- day and was given a sentence of eleven months in the Prescott jail. Hamilton married a Flagstaff girl while he had another wife in Oak land.-Gazette, Oct. 22.
 Hamilton is we'll known here and at Grand Canyon. For some time he had charge of an independent guide outfit at the Canyon, and it was while engaged in that business that he met a young lady tourist from St. Louis, and in short time they were married and left for the east on honeymoon trip. In a few weeks Hamilton returned alone, giving out to his friends that his wife was with friends in St. Louis. But Mrs. Hamilton did not return, having made the discovery that Hamilton had a former wife from whom he had not been divorced. Hamilton soon after disappeared from this section and could not be located for several months, when he was arrested on bigamy charge with the result that he will get eleven months free board in the county jail at Prescott.
 The way of the transgressor is hard-even if he is a smooth guy.

Good Conversation.

I heard someone planning lunch
con lately, and she said she'd selected
her topics-what the people would
talk about. She said she intended to
keep the ball rolling" Not dull
minute. Everything spicy and spar
king and bubbling. Talk about one
thing and then about another. Ring
the bell and change the course. Press
the button beneath the table and
bring on your spicy story, as the maid
brings on the salad. Lord! Lord!
what luncheon that must have been!
Who, alas, can be spicy to order? Or
bubble or sparkle or be brilliant or
even bright? These gifts are of the
gods. Sometimes we are and some.
times we are not, but it's cinch that
none of us are brilliant when we try
to be. Good conversation consists in
talk spontaneous. 1t has its source in
q full mind and full heart. Do
hear some one saying, "And in full
glass;" All, but even the full glass
brings out in talk only the native
wealth or poverty of the talker. I'm
sure that must have been an awful
