Congratulations

Williams is to be congratulated upon her late acquisition of a live Mems Club under the name of the Gate-Way Club, and the men of Williams are to be con gartulated upon the earnest, en- erjetic and harmonious way in which they have gone about the organization of this club. There is great field of work open to this organization. In addition to filling a great gap in the social life of the men of the town, it should prove a great force for progress. It may do much to establish and maintain the good name of the town, particularly, and above all else by making the character of the town what it ought to be.

Time for Immediate action

One establishment in town purporting to be a hotel has of late appeared to incline more to- ward a house of ill-fame. Two girls at least, whose residence should properly be in the East End, have resided there and boldly paraded the main streets. Such conduct both on the part of the girls and on the part of the landlord, constitute an insult to every respectable man and wo- man in town and a menace to the youth of Williams. Action should be taken at once. The girls should be severely dealt with and the proprietor deserves to have his lisence revoked.

 "Sure! You bet your life you arel Any fool who would run around clad in a suit of B. V. D's on a day like this certainly is crack ed. Vamoose! Get some clothes on, or Pll call the police''
 Chapo puffed at another cigarette and MT. Souder at another log.
 In the meantime one of Chapo's s compadres happened to pass, to whom he related the condition of the dam and accounted for his strange appearance, which, when translated, caused Mir. Souder to drop his cant-hook, hastily gather together few men and run up to the dam, whereupon Chapo's story was verified. Immediately the great valves in the dam were open ed and the water in the reservoir permitted to recede to point be- low the crack, thus relieving the pressure on the injured or faultily constructed part of the great struc- ture.
 An examination was then made and the crack was found to be of comparatively recent origin. In fact it is believed to have occurred that day, and had 0hapo not dis covered it and stopped the erosion with his garments, within twenty four hours the aperture would have undoubtedly widened and deepened to such an extent that the dam could not have failed to go out.
 There are at least 25O employees of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company, together with their fami- lies and other citizens who live in the little valley below the dam. One shudders to think of the awful fate that would have befallen these people had not Chapo not taken his stroll last Saturday afternoon.
 All honor to Chapo! All honor to Chapo's coat, shirt, trousers and socks!
 But upon reflection, Chapo's 8 SOC We can't say it! That con- sideration due to a hero, which should resist all temptation to en- gage in undue levity, asserts itself. WILLIAMS, ARIZONA,

MURDERS WIFE, W
SONS and HIMSELF
Farmer Uses Corn Knife to Stay
His Victims.

Under cover of darkness Carl En-
strom, thirty-four years old, procured
a corn knife and killed his wife, Ella,
and two little children, Helmer, eleven
years old, and Albert, nine.
Then he walked back into the farm
house, sat down at a table, drew his
six-year-old daughter, Anna, and three
year-old son, Carl, to his side and
penned a brief note to the authorities
confessing the crime and asking that
his property be sold to rear and edu-
cate the two children he had spared.
After sealing the note, addressing it
and placing it in a conspicuous place
he seized a rifle, walked out to where
his wife and two children lay dead
and ended his life by shooting himself
I'VE the heart.
The Enstroms lived on a farm fif-
teen miles from Bowman. Domestic
trouble is said to have caused the
crime.
The note left by Enstrom read as
follows:
"This ends the miserable existence
of one who has tried to do right and
failed. Sell off everything on the
place and give my babies who are left
a good education. Notify relatives liv-
ing at Centervi1Ie."

Washington Officials Looking
Into Explosives Plot.
GERMAN MAKES CONFESSION
Alleged Lieutenant in kaiser's Army
Declares He Was Sent Here to
Use Explosives.

Washington, Oct. 26.-If the state
department determines that Robert
Fay is telling the truth in his story to
the New York police of how he, a lieu
tenant in the German army, was sent
to this country by the German secret
service to disable by explosives steam
ships leaving American ports for Eu-
rope, the matter probably will be made
the subject of vigorous representa-
tions to the German government.
State department officials are much
interested in press accounts of the
confession said to have been made to
Police Commissioner Woods and it is
said that a report of the case is eX-
pected from agents of the secret serv-
ice who assisted in arresting Fay and
his alleged accomplices.
The American government, the Off
Gals said, will regard such an action
as Fay attributes to the German Sc
cret service as an offense of grave
character against the United States.
1t is explained, however, that not
enough was known of the matter Off
cially to hazard a presumption re-
garding the form any representations
which might be made would take.
AS to Captain Boy-Ed and Captain
0 Papen Of the German embassy it
is said that ii Fay told the truth in
his so called confession no blame
could be attached to them. Fay is
quoted as having said that Captains
Boyd and Won Papen, when ap-
preached by him, refused to have any
thing to do with his scheme and adj
yised against it.

Thirteen PERISH
IN FACTORY FIRE

Pittsburg. Oct. 26.-Inadequate fire
escapes, according to Francis Feehan,
supervising inspector OF the state de-
partment Of labor and industry, who
made an investigation, resulted in the
death of thirteen persons and injuries
to eight others in the fire that de-
stroyed a our-story building partly
occupied by a box company.
or the dead all were young women
employed by the company, except one.
Many of the bodies were so badly
burned Identification was difficult.
The flames started in a pile of straw
in the rear OF the feed store of James
Brown < Co, on the first floor Of the
building. William c. kimbel, general
manager of the box factory, at once
vent to the third and fourth floors
and warned the girls employed there
to leave quietly. The flames gained
Roadway so rapidly, however, hat es-
cape by means of stairways and fire
escapes was soon cut Off.
Some of the girls attempted to go
to the dressing for their hats
and there, huddled on the floor, fire
men found a majority Of the bodies.

AMERICAN TROOPS
KILLED ON BORDER

Brownsville, Tex, Oct. 22.-About
seventy-five Mexicans attacked fifteen
American soldiers at Ojo Del Aqua, q
small Mexican settlement on the
American side of the river about six
miles up the Rio Grande T&m here.
Three soldiers were killed and eight
wounded and at least five Mexicans
killed in the forty-minute battle which
followed. Some Of the Mexicans fed
across the Rio Grande into Mexican
territory when American cavalry re.
Inducements came up.
Ojo Del Aqua is near the river.
Dense brush, which even in daylight
limits the range Of vision to a few
feet, afforded the Mexicans perfect
cover as they scattered into small
groups and made toward the Mexican
boundary.

TeutoniC and Bulgarian Attacks
Progressing,
lombard BULGARIAN COAST
Entente Powers Are Believed TO Sc
cent en- Landing Troops Near
Dedeaghatch.

London, Oct. 25.-A continuation of
the progress OF the 'TeutoniC allies
ard %Bulgarians against Serbia and
fresh advances by the Germans in
Northwest Russia are the outstani-
ing features in the world war, as re-
ported in the official communications.
Another crossing of the Danube has
been made by the Germans-at Or
sova. in Northwestern Serbia, near the
iron gates of the Danube, wher" the
river leaves Austrian soil. The Bull
sarians to the south of this region
have crossed the Timok river, be-
tween Kniazevac and Zajecar, and a
battle is in progress for the posses
sion of the former place.
The French in the vicinity Of the
Greek border have captured with
small losses and are holding the viii
lage of MARROW, nine miles south OF
Strumitza. The understanding at Sa-
loniki, according to a news agency
dispatch from Athens, is that the
Commandment of the Bulgarian coast
IN the Aegean sea is in connection
with a plan of the allies to make a
landing at Porto Lagos. to the west OF
Dedeaghatch.
That heavy fighting is almost con
tinuous along the Divinsk front is at
tested by both German and Russian
official communications. By a violent
concentrated artillery fire the Ger,
mans prepared for the storming of
nlouket. The infantry attacks lasted
throughout an entire day, at the close
Of which the Germans occupied the
town. The losses on both sides were
heavy, as the battle was carried right
into the streets with the bayonet.
Austria and Italy are both fighting
with the utmost determination along
the Austro-Italian frontier. The Ital-
ian war office reports that "a new and
brilliant success" has marked the Ital-
ran offensive in the Ledro valley. In
the Carso district the deadly effects of
the Austrian artillery are admitted by
the Italian staff, which says that, not
withstanding this, the Italian infantry
advanced impetuOusly and captured
ground on the left wing, east of Pc
teano. and in the center of the front.

Execution Of Woman Nurse by Ger
mans c~rystaIIizes Sentiment,
London, Oct. 23.-British rage at the
execution by Germans at Brussels of
the English nurse, Miss Edith Cavell,
fully reported in a communication
published in detail by the London
press from Brand Whitlock, American
minister in Belgium, promises to af-
feet war sentiment in England.
I Enlistments were brisk and in off
'cial circles this was generally attribut-
ed to feeling aroused by the Caye!I
$ Ease.
What little talk there has beer in
a few quarters lately of the POSSIBLE
ity of restored peace also has been
effectually silenced.
The Cavell incident appears to have
done more than any previous event to
crystalline sentiment in favor of wag-
ing war to the bitter end.
