White Champion Nov

The big prize fight for the
heavyweight championship of
the world, between Jess Willard
and Jack johnson, took place in
Havana, Cuba, last Monday.
Johnson was knocked out in the
26th round of a scheduled As
round bout. 1t is reported the
seat sale amounted to $110, 600.
By pre-arrrangement Johnson
was to get $4,000 win, lose or
draw, Willard to get what was
left after all expenses were paid.
Each of the participants will get
a third of the revenue from the
moving pictures. Johnson was
the first colored man to hold the
heavyweight championship and
will be the last one, as far as
Willard is concerned, as he says
he will never fight another negro
while he holds the belt.

LEGISLATIVE SPECIAL
SESSION APRIL q

Including only the general ap-
preparations, the governor has
issued a call for a special session
OF the legislature beginning Fri
day, April %. When asked why
ne did not, at least, include the
amendment for the semi-annual
payment of taxes, Gov. Hunt re-
piled he might give the gang
trying to run this state an oppor-
tunity to introduce a mine tax
BILL"
In the general appropriation
bill the legislature may include
an appropriation for the land
commission. The governor has
threatened if this is not done to
call another session for the con-
sideration o f land legislation
alone.
A statement issued by Treas
urer Mitt Sims shows funds on
hand at the close of business on
March 81. 1t shows the state
has only $48, 197.03 to last till
December l. At the present
rate of expenditure this fund
will be exhausted before June l.
Last year the general fund was
not exhausted till October. 1t
now appears the tax commission
made too low levy.
The insane asylum, the indus
trial school and the militia funds
are slightly overdrawn already.
The total amount in the treasury
is SITS, 1919 Most of this is
interest and school funds and
cannot be drawn upon to make

St. Johns Mexican
Shot and Killed

While on his way to his ranch,
which is located about a mile
and a half from town, Rafael
Canderlaria was brutally muir
dered. The murder was COM
mitted between II and IL o'clock
at night. AS yet no one has
been fixed definitely upon as the
perpetrator.
Sunday night Mr.. Candelaria
was in town, attended the picture
show and was seen around the
Armijo and Peralta pool hall.
According to the story of the
woman with whom he was liv-
ing, he reached home about
11:30 o'clock and was just an
tering the house when five shots
were fired. She grabbed up her
baby and ran to the Pena home,
S m e forty rods distant.
When she had entered and told
her story to two men and a
woman who was there, the doors
were shut and barred. No one
ventured out until daylight
came, when a small boy was
sent to Judge Reamer Ling's
ranch, which is situated about a
mile and a half away. After
hearing the boys story, Mr..
Ling sent the boy after the doc
tor and to notify the sheriff.
Then Ling hurried across to the
scene of the murder. He found
Candelaria lying in a pool of
blood near an old corral. The
man was still alive but uncon-
scious. DR.. Bouldin arrived and
did everything possible to revive
him but to no avail. Dep. Sher-
iff Tyler and Constable B. L..
Gibbons soon arrived and made
a thorough investigation but
ve-e unable to learn anything
that might lead to the appre-
hension of the murderer. st.

Does 1t Mean War?

That the war department Off
cials apprehend trouble along
the Mexican frontier seems evi-
denced by the fact that many
supplies and additional equip
ment have been sent to the local
companies ofthe National Guard.
Among the supplies recently
received are twenty-five wagons
and forty-four complete sets of
harness, new tents, new over
coats, and other new equipment.
These are stored at the Polk
street armory and were sent to
Phoenix without any acquisitions
from the officers Of the local
regiment of the guarl.
A plan is on foot for the or
ganization of a third company

Spring Time and the Fly

Spring is here. Already in
our midst the house fly, the
dirty fly, the typhoid and chol-
era infantum fly, will soon
swarm in thousands and mil
lions, unless precautions e
taken. The house fly, whom we
are taught in our childhood to
treat with kindness, has been
exposed. Its habits are filthy.
1t breeds in stables and garbage
pals and carries the filth it rev.
els in and tracks it across the
sugar, the butter and the beef
steak. 1t paddles it's horrid feet,
gummed with the vilest rotting
matter, in the baby's milk. The
doctors have declared war on
the house fly. 1t probably dis
seminates every disease. 1t is
a nuisance. 1t must be exter-
minated. 1t can be driven out
of every city. In an age OF
knowledge, screens and cheap
disinfectants there is no excuse
for flies in any household. NoW
is the time to clean up. Get ria
of breeding places of flies and
YOU will get rid of flies. State

|. D. S. CHURCH'S
FINANCIAL STATUS

The first financial statement
ever issued by the Mormon
church was made public in the
tabernacle today before the an
nual conference, says a dispatch
dated the 4th from Salt Lake
City. The report shows that the
church collected 1887. 920 in
tithes in 1914, of which $730, $50
was expended on church build
ings, $3.50, 984 to maintain the
church schools, $64.50 to main
tain the Mormon temples, 1927, :
900 for missionary work, 500, >
293 to maintain church Offices,
$136, 727 to complete and main
tain the Latter Day Saints Hos
pital at Salt Lake City and $116,-
238 to the poor.
The report also shows that the
European war relief fund of the
church amounted to $33. 900.
The expenses of the general
officers of the church are not
paid from tithing, the report
says. but from revenues derived
from the investments of the
church.
The report shows a net in
crease in the membership of the
church of 129, 493 for the period
from 1901 to 1914, a birth rate
of 1915 a thousand, a death rate
of 8.3 per thousand and a mar

co. F., N. C. A., INFOR-
MALLY DISBANDED

Company T, N. G. A, is nc
more. This is true, at least in re.
gard to it's being stationed al
Snowflake. The sorrowful news
came Tuesday when Capt. Tenn.
pie of Phoenix, the Regimental
Quartermaster Sergeant, arrived
in town and suddenly demanded
the equipment. This informal
mastering out of the local militia
was due to the fact that the War
Department will not lend it's
support to less than a full COM
pany. 1t was likewise because
the inspection given by Capt.
Fuqua proved unsatisfactory on
account of so small attendance.
Co. F has been stationed in
Snowflake only about two years.
1t was mustered in on March 21,
1913, by 1t. R. D. LaGarde. 1t
has had but two commanders,
Capt. Jesse M. Smith and Lieut..
Marion Rogers.
The benefit it has given the
boys themselves and the COM
munity at large is extremely
great, both in a financial way and
otherwise. By it's means the
members received several hun
dred dollars in cold cash as we'll
as some valuable practical ex-
perience at their two encamp-
ments. Beside the financial re-
muneration, the discipline receiv-
ed, etc. must also be remembered.
The community also has re-
ceived untold benefit. In a fnan-
cial way may be mentioned the
company allowance which is
largely for armory rent but which
is all spent within the town, and
the remuneration received by
freighters, carpenters and 9TH
ers. Indeed it may be safely
said that since its organization
Co. F has contributed to it's mem
bers and Snowflake fully three
or four thousand dollars.
The organization has also ben

ularly SO in in the presentation of
dramatical performances and so
on.
The boys are now entered on

only in case of absolute necessity
were actual service to be re-
quired. The probability is, how
ever, that the organization will
be re-instated t some future
date. provided. of course, a suf-
ficient number will enlist. There
is also some little talk of organ
izing a cavalry troop instead.
Capt. Temple has from the
very first claimed this as his"
company and every member in
it likes the good natured quar-
termaster. He therefore mourns
with us the loss of the organi-
zation, but in Uncle Sans mill
tary service always DUTY comes
first. pi
