A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp of marching armies.
No banners flaming far;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky a Star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria in Exeelsis
To earth the angels taught;
Il =
When in the lowly manger
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender adorationI y
Her Babe of heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness.
And none as poor as he, ~
The little children IF the peer -
rs
No rush of hostile armies then,
But just the budding sheep.
The angels singingiof the Christ
And all the world asleep
No fame Of conQuefing banners,
No ltSions sent AFR:
A lamp within st4ble
And in the sky Star!

Thrown from a Wagon.


An aged Mexican named Miguel
Apodaco met with a rather severe
accident last Saturday. Apodaco had
brought load of hay to town from
Gonzales Wells, between Quartzsite
and Ehrenterg, driving a team Of
four horses, and after delivering his
hay, started for home. In the west
ern part of town he came to the tek-
phone wire, which was hanging SO
low that it caught on to the hayrack
While the driver was trying to raise
the wire, the horses became fright
ened and ran away. The old man fell
from the rack to the wagon tongue
which he held on to for a while but
soon lost his hold and fell to the
ground, the wheels passing over his
body. He was picked up in badly
lacerated condition and taken to the
home of Dan Welch where DR.. Israel
was called to attend him. His head,
back and limbs were badly bruised
and torn, and while the shock was a
very severe one for so aged a person,
it is not believed that his injuries
will prove fatal.

CHISHOLM
DISCHARGED
NOT BE SECURED COUNTY At
TORNEY ASKS THAT CHISHOLM
CASE BE DISMISSED.

After putting in 30 hours deilbera-
ting on the Chisholm case, the jury
reported to Judge Baxter at o'clock
last Saturday night that it was unable
to reach verdict and was discharg
ed, according to the account given
by the Yuma Sun.
Shortly before adjournment of the
superior court at five o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, County Attorney C. H.
Colman, filed a motion with Judge
Baxter, asking that the case against
d, F. (James) Chisholm, charged
with manslaughter, in the killing of
Peter Silk, on March 3, 1915, in
dispute over property rights, be dis
missed
County Attorney Colman stated
that it was his belief that a cOnyic
ton could not be secured in any
event and that it would be useless to
put the county to the enormous ex-
pense of another trial in view of the
insufficiency of the evidence.
Judge Baxter allowed the motion for
dismissal and the case was expunged
from the docket Chisholm, the de-
fendant, was therefore discharged.
The case had been set for trial
Monday, May 10, and the defend
ants attorney submitted list
of % witnesses to the sheriff for sub
poena. Arrangements had been made
to serve the subpoenas and Deputy
Sheriff w. C. Despair was about to
be on the way to summon the pOpula-
ton in the vicinity of Alamo and
Bouse when the new turn of affairs
was taken.
The consensus of opinion heard
about the court house and on the
streets was to the effect, the county
attorney had done the wise thing in
dismissing the case. The taxpayers
are happy and the remaining popula-
ton of northern Yuma county were
cheated out of an opportunity to Wis
it the county seat.

Bridge Dedication.


The new interstate highway bridge
across the Colorado river at Yuma,
the latest link in the southern trans
continental routes, will be dedicated
with imposing ceremonies May % and
% Hundreds of invitations from the
Yuma County Commercial club to at
tend the dedicatory celebration have
been sent out to all parts Of the state
and to other parts of the country,
and it is expected that there will be
many automobile parties to Yuma on
account of the formal opening of the
bridge to traffic.
Yuma boosters have raised over
$1,000 toward the celebration, and are
planning a monster celebration over
the opening of this important link
in the transcontinental highways. An
enormous electric sign, 200 feet long,
bearing the words, Yuma, Ocean to
Ocean Highway" in letters six feet
high will be mounted on the bridge.
GOverner Hunt and a number of state
officials are planning to attend the

After BootIeqqers.

According to the Prescott Journal
Miner, the first steps in crusade to
stamp out in Prescott the alleged
illegal sale of liquor, were taken
last Monday evening, when warrants
were issued for the arrest of a
number of men formerly engaged in
the saloon business. Nine were take
into custody, six of whom secured
their release on bonds, the otheer two
being forced for lack of bail to spend

Apodaco Loses $3.50.

Miguel Apodacc, the Mexican who
V as injured in runaway, as stated
IN another item i'll this issue, seems
% have had more than his share OF
hard luck, for besides being badly
used, up. he is reported to have lost
blickskin purse containing $3.50.
Now whe a. the purse dropped from
his pocket and was buried in the
sand. when he fell from the wagon,
CT whether some Amiscreant robbed
him as he lay on the ground in an
unconscious condition is not known,
but many are inclined to believe in
the latter theory as the purse could
nowhere be found.
Coincident to this is the fact that
the luckless man had been advised
t., friend just before he left town
to deposit his money in the local
bark and draw on it by check when
carry so much money on his person.
The old man thought well of the ad-
vice and was about to deposit his
cash when he suddenly changed his
mind with the remark that he would
10 SO next time as he had some pay
mentsl to make on the way home.
This should serve as a timely ad-
n4onition to others who may be in
the habit of carrying more money
on their person than they have i'm
mediate use for. Deposit it and let
the banker do the worrying-he has
nothing else to do.

The Empire-Stake Making "Stake."
J. H. Watson, superintendent of the
Empire mine, came to town We'd
nesday last. Everything at the mine
is running satisfactorily and a small
force of men is at work doing some
tunneling by way of development.
He says that Bill Stake of Parker,
who has lease on one of the com
pany's properties, is as busy as a
beaver getting out shipping ore, work
ing single handed He has about six
tens of SIS ore on the dump and
since his associates left, he has Sc
cured a transfer of his lease to an
ether of the companys properties
where no hosting is required and he
can handle the ore alone. While the
ore IN this property goes only $50,
the difference is more than made up
by the fact that he needs no assist
ance in getting out the ore. If Bill
keeps up his lick till fall, he will
surely have an elegant "stake" or a
fat roll OF bills" that will be true to
the name, Bill Stake.

Word was received here last Mon
day that Claud T. Daniels, former
resident of this town, died on the 7th
inst, in Shreveport, Louisiana, of
tuberculosis, after a lingering Illness.
The deceased came to Parker for the
benefit of his health and remained
here about a year, living at the
Raney place. He was too far along
in the malady, however, to obtain
any permanent relief from climatic
conditions, so he returned few
months ago to spend his last days at
home. The deceased made many
friends while here who will be pain
