He was about to lift the mask of

Later in the day, Elaine had both
Marie and Bertholdi carrying armfuls

Hay bailing is in full blast on Pat

Mr.. Phillips, Of Chandler, Arizona,
talked at the school house hall a few
nights ago on Christian Science.
Both the Oak Creek stores seem to
be doing a very nice little business.
The stores are both small but they are
young yet.
On August 26 our community was
visited with another fine rain and the
stockmen are carrying another big
broad smile. -'.'' .'."'.
Mrs. Finnie and daughter Miss
Gene have returned to Oak Creek
after an extended visit in the Upper
Verde country.
Owing to the recent heavy rains on
Upper Oak Creek and Dry Creek the
water in Oak Creek this week is as
red as red paint.
Our vicinity has a 20 acre dry land
milo maze field that is looking very
promising. This is the first dry land
experiment for this community.
Our school will commence Sept. 6.
This district is off for a nine months
term, the extra month is to make
good the month lost last year on ac-
count of the measles epidemic.
Mr.. Barnett and family who have
been camping in the Topping grove
for the last two months have pulled
stakes and drifted away for the Salt
River Valley via the Roosevelt dam.
On September the LIST Mr.. J. O..
Hurst, our principal fruit grower, will
start crew picking apples. There
viii be several teams employed haul
ing the fruit to Clarkdale where it
vii be loaded for shipments.
Mr.. Morse, our village blacksmith,
has concluded to combine ranching
with blacksmithing SO he has hung a
homestead to the corner of his shop.
This means another farm for our
neighborhood, also another family of
four bright little girls for our school.
Some of our farmers were on the
Jerome market last week with a large
cargo of poultry. They found the
market stripped and not even a chick
en- in the way, of course they got
good prices. Our Oak Creek stores
are paying 40c per dozen for eggs.
Paul Tissaw, of Cottonwood, went
through our neighborhood few days
ago in search of pack horse belong
ing to Art Nichols. The horse had
been in the hills for several days with
Arts bed on his back. We suppose
that Art will take nap if he finds his
bed in time.
The entertainment at the school
house hall last week was well attend
ed, the house being filled to it's full
capacity. Visitors came from Beaver
Creek, Cottonwood, Jerome and Clark
dale. The music on the violin by J.
o. Hurst and Dee Johnson, the piano
by Mrs. o. Hurst and Mrs. Dee
Johnson furnished the music for the
occasion. Our young people would
almost break their necks, in order to
show their visitors a good time.

Hippodron,e Box
Office Never Closes

First all-night theater ticket office
in New York made necessary by
enormous demand. All seats reserved.
New York has had its all-night
license for restaurants, it's day and
night bank, it's all-night barber shops
and eating places, and now comes
the twenty-four hour box Office at the
Hippodrome. This dramatic neces-
sity was caused by the demand for
seats at Charles Dillingham's vast
playhouse, where the seats are now
on sale for the balance of 1915, in
GLIDING Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
New Years Eve and New Years
night.
The treasurers at the big play
house have begun their endless grind
in the box Office that will never close
until the big record sale is over.
Since "Hip Hip Hooray" opened so
brilliantly, patrons have been inquir-
ing when holiday seats would be OBJ
tainable, and the management de-
cided to open the advance sale earlier
than customary. Also every seat in
the house has been couponed and
those at twenty-five and fifty cents
may now be procured in advance.
Over 100000 coupon seats were
racked this week.
Four box offices remain open until
eleven o'clock at night and after that
hour the special all-night office at
the extreme left of the lobby will be
utilized. Here also the mail orders
will be filled after the arduous day
in the other box offices is over.

Appreciates The Joy
Of Living In Paisade
By Orrin A. Briefly

1t is almost inconceivable that but
a narrow stream of water separates
civilization in it's highest manifesto
ton from nature in its grandest form
The hum of New York City's busy
noises are but family audible when
crossing the Hudson river ferry and
forgotten the moment we land on
the Jersey shore. Forgotten, in the
comforts of our homes, nestled among
magnificent trees. Forgotten in the
quietness that reigns and the invigo-
rating air, which only untouched ma
ture can give.
Magnificent is the city. An
achievement of man, beyond the be-
lief of our most learned, but few
years back. Diversions of innum-
cradle variations. The theater,
sports, dancing museums. Every
thing and anything to appease ones
appetite for fun or knowledge. And
congestion, hurry, worry and misery,
all of this too, in extraordinary pro-
portions. The poor, the sick. And
try as they will, the White Lights
cannot overshadow the terrible
suffering, the want of fresh air.
Misery, misery! And yet.
But a narrow stream to cross and
we are in Gods own land-The Pail
sades. Birds singing their welcome,
flowers giving their honey. Lessons
in every inch of ground. Lessons
of contentment, happiness and health.
All at our feet. Can the contrast
be greater? Can man desire more I?
There are great battles for existence
going on in the city and an equal
amount in the tall grass around US.
1t is for the strong and wealthy of
US to assuage as much as possible,
the pain and misery of the poor in
the city.
It is for the poor or ill to find COM
fort and knowledge in the beauties
and mystery of nature.
With joy, with knowledge, with
wealth, have we been paid.
By living in dear Palisade.

of his home
For more than two years the muir
der remained a Mystery that was the
talk of the little community. Then
a few weeks ago Mrs. McElheney, in
fear of her own life and desperate,
she says, went to the county prose-
cutor, told him of her relations, OBJ
tanned at first by physical force, she
SAYS, with Roscoe Hornbaker and &C
cused him of the murder of her hus-
band. Hornbaker was rural mail
carrier.
After hearing Hornbaker is now
held prisoner on a charge of murder
in the first degree awaiting trial at
the next term of the district court,
which will be held in June.
Hornbaker admits his relations
with Mrs. McElheney but denies he
murdered her husband. He declares
that she made the first advances by
showing him a picture postcard
showing a mailman kissing a pretty
country lass.
Mrs. McElheney in testifying at the
murder hearing said that her ac-
quaintance with Hornbaker began
when her husband was appointed
postmaster at Louisburg, some four
or five years ago.
Mrs. McElheney says her regard
for Hornbaker never was more than
neighborly, but his glance and speech
betrayed more than friendship for
her.

ing, land after a meeting in Mrs.
Hornbaker's house in 1911 l stayed

Mrs. Hornbaker said Roscoe, her hus-
band, wanted to talk to me. Then
Roscoe made love to me and told me
of the. wealth he would have when
Belle, his wife, died.
