day morning. Death had resulted from
a pistol shot. the weapon having beer
fired while the muzzle was held In tht
mans mouth,
An investigation conducted by thu
police and Coroner Harry S. Harper
resulted in a conclusion that 1t was
a case of suicide Bloody footprint:
leading from the room, however, told
of the presence Of some person after
the fatal shot had been fired The
police formed the theory that the
tracks had been made by some one who
went into tho room, and, finding the
body, departed, fearful Of being ac-
cused of murder.
A note found in the dead man Is
desk addressed to Attorney s. P. Arm
strong was regarded as an evidence
of suicidal intent.
1t bore the date, January IA, 1913,
and read:
Mr.. S. P. Armstrong-lf any
thing happens to me, you will act
as my administrator. lSlgned)
J. W. SKINNER
The letter included tho address Of a
brother, Isaac Skinner, living at
Bloomington, H., and his own address,
81 East Fifth South street.
The position Of the body on tho door
with the feet toward a mirror on which
was splotch Of blood, gave rise to the
belief that he had stood looking at his
reflection in the glass as he fired the
shot.
morning by w. W. Evans, engineer OF
the building. He Immediately notified
the police. Inspector Carlson, Captain
Johnson and other members Of the de-
partment went to the room to investi~
gate. DR., s. G.. Paul was called. 1t

'clock of the night before. The bull
let had penetrated the roof of the
mouth and passed out Of the upper
part Of the back OF the head, 6lowi
ing in the ceiling. The revolver, an
old army model Of AS caliber, was
found on the floor between the dead
mans legs.
According to Attorney s. P. Arm

ner had frequently suffered from severe
pains in the left chest The sufferer
seemed convinced that his heart was af-
fected
''If I had had gun I would have
blown my head off, ~ he one time said
in recounting his distress during a bad
attack. It is thought by his friends
that the man was rendered temporarily
insane from pain at moment when
his suffering became unedurable. At
torney Armstrong received a telegram
last night from Isaac Skinner, the
brother, saying that he would start
from Bloomington for Salt Lake i'm

Some More Public Be

Col. Harris. Adjutant General for Arizona, arrived in Holbrook Thursday evening, and desiring to reach Phoenix at the earliest possible moment, presented to the Santa Fe agent at Holbrook an order for transportation on train No. 8. This order was re- fused and, on request, the agent wired for instructions and his re- fusal was confirmed by higher authority. Uuder the statutes of Arizona, this constitutes seri- ous offense. carrying a maximum fine of one thousand dollars and six m o n t h imprisonment for each offense. Col. Harris left for Winslow Thursday morning on train No. l, but as the Phoenix car does not leave that place un- til evening, he will no doubt be obliged to repeat his d eman d there, and perhaps again at Flag staff on the day following. Col. Harris asserts that it is his in- tention to present the case to At torney General Bullock for pros ecution, and as similar cases are brewing in other quarters it looks as if the handwriting was on the wall that all trains will stop at Holbrook in the near future.

SCHOOL NOTES
 OF INTEREST

Lottie was a little and she often got into truble. One day she came into the citchen where her mother was working, but what did she see?
 There on the table was a big white paper. When she saw it she asked her mother what it was. Her mother said it was something sweet and sticky and what do you think it was. That horidd fly paper. Her mother went out of the room to get some thing and left her little girl to count the flies on the paper. she watched the flies for awhile and got tired of it so she put her hand on the paper and started to take it off the paper but the paper came too. So she put the other hand on it and tried to take them off. But she couldent get them off so she put her face on the pa- per to get her hands off but they stuck and just then her father came in, Feeling sorry for the little girl he called her mother. She came running in to see What was the matter and coming in the door what should she see but the little girl all covered with flypa- per, and her father said that she would be a bettor girl.
 The end
 The above is a story reproduc- tion, exactly as it was written; this was done by Louis Divelbess of the third grade. Language in the primary grades is very large ly reproduction. It extends the pupils vocabulary; it teaches him to think connectedly and in logi- cal order; it gives him facility of expression in correct grammati- cal forms; and it leads him to ap- preciate literature. Some very good work in this has been done by the 3rd grade.

THE CHEVELON
 BRIDGE

It is doubtful if there is anyone in northern Arizona more pleased with the commencement of the construction of the Che velon Bridge than w. H. Clark, of this town. Over a year and a half ago NavaJo county made a dona- tion to the state of close to $6,- 900. co in the nature of a 25 cent levy for state highway purposes, out of this fund the county ex- pected to get at least, a bridge across Chevelon creek. Surveys were made, site selected and bids called for under advertisement of the State Board, but the contract was not let. About that time the Board of Supervisors put Mr. Clark on the job to see that the bridge was forthcoming.
 A party of the state officials came up and looked the situation over and came very near promis- ing two bridges for the amount turned in. After returning to PhoenlX they quietly put the CheveIon bridge project to sleep for lack of funds to bury it. Later on during the sesslon of the leg islature a bill was introduced in the lower house authorizing the construction of the bridge and was passed, but when it reached the senate if was taken mn and after much argument, was killed off during the last days of the session. When the extra session of the legislature convened the corpse of the Chevelon brid ge was there to haunt" the men who had killed it, consequently the bill was dug up, given new lease of life, and passed by both branches of the legislature, and construction of the bridge is now going on.

Better Pay Is Urged
 For School Teachers

Teachers are interested in the inspection of the system and management of public schools made here by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of public schools of Chicago.
 Schools are run too much like factories, as a rule," said Mrs. Young. land salaries are much too low. As result men and women leave the profession of teaching and go into other lines of work that give better returns and present more opportunities for advancement. When teach CTS have to worry about making ends meet they cannot do their best work.'
