THATCHER NEWS
s~NN~~N~~>~~,~>N~%~e

| John Mcclure, of Benson, is in town
at present selling lots for a real estate
company in California. He is we'll
known and has many friends and rela-
tives here. He spoke in church Sunday,
giving very interesting talk on pro-
! hibitIon and recUunting some OF his eX-
periences during his travels.
Mr.. and Mrs. Callison, former resi-
dents of this place, returned home last
week. They have been attending the
0steopathic College in Los Angeles for
some time past, having graduated this
spring. They are now prepared to do
that work in our valley. At present
they are residing in the Willard Pace
house just north of the depot.
Miss Jeanette Ison left recently for
Bryce, where she will spend some time
visiting with friends and relatives there.
Mrs. Minnie Nicholson left here for
Miami July 9th. She expects to spend
several weeks with her two married
daughters who reside there.
Little Paul Robinson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Robinson, has been suffer
ing for some time past with typhoid
fever. He is still very weak and frail,
but is slowly recovering.
The recent showers which have been
falling SO regularly in the Gila valley
have done their full justice at Thatcher
as elsewhere. A great deal of hay is
down and it is feared that the farmers
will suffer considerable loss if the rains
continue. The Union ditch is already
overflowing its banks and its muddy
waters are surging so heavily against
its bridges, that 1t looks as If they
might be swept away any time.
Miss Dorothy Alfred and Paul Tenny
were married Saturday, July 1lth.
President Andrew Kimball performed
the ceremony. Their friends give them
every good wish for their future hap
piness.
David Haywood, son o. Mrs. 5. F.
who is deputy horticultural
Inspector for this district, met with an
accident last Monday which might have
proved very serious. While on his way
to Central to inspect fruit, the motor
cycle which he was riding, owing to
the muddy roads, turned with him and
lell upon MS ankle, spralning ana DrulS- |
ing it severely. He is still attending |
TO work, but is obliged to go in buggy |
Or automobile until he has recovered |
from his lameness.
Professor Clothier, of the University |
Of Arizona, is now in Thatcher. His |
many students and friends are more
than delighted to see him. He reports |
that he will ha hare nnu n,lite frannapt |
ly. He has splendid tenor voice and !
has consented to sing in Mutual next
Sunday night. !
Evans Coleman has just returned |
from trip to Clifton.
June and Henry Matthews, who were
so very i'll with typhoid fever, are now
making very rapid recovery.

A NOVEL CORPORATION

Santa Fe, Dec. 24,-The New Mex
leo Incorporators' Trust company,
with capitalization of $250,0O0 and
headquarters in Santa Fe was incor-
porated today by E. C. Wade, Jr., gen
eral counsel Of the company, seven
shares; w. A. Fleming Jones of Las
Cruces, president, seven shares; Ed
ward G. Wade, Sr., Las Cruces, six
shares, and Lytton R. Taylor, Las
Cruces, one share, the shares being
$500 at par. The company will under
take the incorporation Of all sorts of
enterprises under the New Mexico
law which is the old New Jersey
statute which found such favor with
capital but which since the passage
of the Seven Sisters statute" no
longer appeals to enterprise. Della
ware now draws most of the corpora
ton business because it too has the
old New Jersey statute but the New
Mexico statute has the exclusive ad-
vantage Of non-liability provision,
exempting companies and stockhold-
ers for liability for non-issued stock.
Incorporation under the statute of a
state different from that in which the
company operates, enables it to throw
it's litigation into the federal courts,
which are often preferred to state
courts, by corporate interests. The
vew company will advertise exten-
sively and will draw to New Mexico
many corporations and much capital.

borrow $4,000 with the $1,000 sewer
bond issue as collateral, to enable it

to its outlet, in the meanwhile nego-
tiating for the sale of the bonds. They
had been sold to a Denver firm but
when the European war broke out the
firm backed out of its contract. For
mer Mayor Arthur Seligman was call
ed into consultation by Mayor w. G..
Sargent and the council because Of
the dilemma in which the city found it.
self and Mr.. Seligman offered to place
the bonds without cost to the city.
This forenoon it was proposed to sus-
pend work on the last 1900 feet Of
the sewer until the frost is out of the
ground, as construction at this time is
more costly than it will be in spring.
The state has done It's part Of the
work on the sewer construction, ex-
pending $1,000 for that purpose.

For six years the Baltimore boy
held the championship Of his class,
and for a long time before he gained
his honors he was battling in the
ring. He captured the title from
Frank Erne, the Buffalo boy, in a
one-round mill Of the knockout order
Cans held his honors until 1908, when
Battling Nelson scored knockout
victory. 1t can be said for Cans that
he was through" when he lost the
crown, for consumption had taken a
grip on him, and it wasn't long after
that that he passed.
Some writer on boxing in the vast
has termed Joe Walcott the eighth
wonder Of the boxing world" and the
phrase describes the black demon per-
fectly. Only five feet IL inches in
height and Weighing in the neighbor-
hood Of 145 pounds, he barred no one
of any weight, meeting heavyweights
just as readily as welters.
The big fellows in particular SEEM
ed made" for Walcott. and the rec
ords show that the Demon scored
a knockout over Joe Choynski in
seeyn rounds as one of his big per
formances. But there was one man
who had Walcott's number and that
was "Kid" Lavigne, the Saginaw,
Mich, welter. Twice Walcott tackled
Lavigne, losing the first time in Is
rounds and the second time in H.
Among those Walcott scored victories
over were Tommy West, Billy Ed
ward, Dan Creedon, Mysterious
Billy" Smith, Jack Bonner, kid" Car
ter and George Gardner, which is am
pie evidence Of his caliber.
The present black dynasty in pugil-
ism also is slowly passing. Johnson
is feeling the wasting effects Of ad-
yancing years and riotous living and
it is probable that his reign as cham
pion will not continue much longer.
Langford, too. is slowing up. He is
getting fat and paunchy and is no
longer the formidable fighter Of three
years ago. So far as jeanette and
Macvea are concerned they have new
er been in the same class as either
Johnson or Langford and as soon as
these two latter negroes pass from
the ranks the blacks will be practical
ly eliminated as factors in the boxing
game. New men may arise to take
the places Of the present contenders

HuNr VANISHED MllLloNs

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. "a
Search has been begun by the probate
court for the vanished millions Of
Captain w. A. Neville of "Jimtown"
mining fame, who was at one time be
fore his death worth six millions.
When Neville died some nine years
ago, his estate was supposed to have
dwindled to million. The last will
of the good pioneer, recently filed, was
found only after nine years search.
1t was at Jamestown, in the Hawhide
mine, that the Neville stake was made.
The captain took 100000 out Of three
buckets of ore. A vast fortune ac-
cumulated, but it evaporated in the
same ratio. In the will just filed, Cap
tain Neville cuts off his son with a
$40 bequest, explaining that the son
threatened his life and had secured
many thousands from him.

they seek the removal of the pastor
on the grounds that he has not filed
answer to a petition charging him
with conduct incompatible with his
position.
The case was set for hearing 10 days
ago, but was postponed by the court
ia order to allow the minister to pre-
pare his case. The particular charge
against the Rev. DIR. Payne is that he
permitted representatives of other
creeds to use his pulpit for public ad-
dresses, demonstrations and sermons.
Among those who have availed them
selves of DR.. Payne's liberality, to
which the conference takes exception,
are the local spiritualists, who have
held seances in the chcurch; Rabbi
Mortimer Bloom, who in memorable
address attacked the Bible. for which
he was removed from his pastorate
of the Methodist temple by Seventh
Dad Adventists and other sects.
DR.. Payne has been in the public
eye since his advent here about ten
years ago He has taken a formost
part in civic movements of a radical
character, and his sermons ordinarily
were in topics of a secular character.
Within the last month he gained wide
spread attention as foreman Of a jury
which stood out nine days against the
conviction Of colored man who was
charged with the murder of girl -
years ago. A second degree verdict
was finally rendered, and a light SEN
tence imposed. DR.. Payne preached
on the subject of his experiences in
the jury room.
