Each Has Won One

The wind ragged high, long, in
definitely and chilly yesterday
afternoon, but it didn't succeed
in stopping the scheduled base
ball game between the town
team and the Academy boys.
1t was a rip-roaring good game,
considering weather conditions,
and but for one bad session the
wind up of the nine innings
would probably have shown a
2-1 score. AS it was, the S. S.
A. got away with about six
seventh of the run getting-or,
in other words, had Z black tai
lies, while their opponents were
able to only show up one lonely,
bare l.
This makes a game each for
the teams and the rubber one
is to be played in the near flu
ture, when more favorable day
will be selected, and at which
time no doubt a big crowd will
be present to witness the contest.

The CliftOn-MOrenCi
Strike Is Called Off

The Clifton-Morenci strike,
which has tied up one of Ari-
zona's richest mining districts
and thrown more than 5000
men out of employment since
September II, 1915, is at an
end. At meetings held early
this week in Clifton, Morenci
and Metcalf, the strikers voted
unanimously to return to work
under the terms offered by the
mine managers Jany. 8. This
means that the sliding wage
scale will be extended to cover
24-cent copper and that the mar
ayers will meet grievance com
mittees once every thirty days.
No union is recognized and the
refugees at Duncan are to go
back to their Old positions on
the same terms. The char
ters held by the strikers in the
Western Federation of Miners
were surrendered three weeks
ago.
When informed that the stri-
kers had decided to go back to
work, Norman Carmichael, gen.
eral manager of the Arizona
Copper company, said:
"We were determined that the
Western Federation of Miners
and it's influences should be elm
mated from the district. We
shall now treat with the men in
a broad spirit. :"

News Items From Our Correspondents

to Holbrook to move a considera-
BILE amount of hay for Mr.. Per-
kins, some of which was dam
aged by the high water.
Last Saturday evening a play
was given. 1t was put on the
boards by home talent and
rendered in a very able manner.
All those who took a part in it
acquitted themselves with great
credit.
The high water that recently
visited our section did not pass
without doing some little dam
age. Our pump was damaged
and some of the parts taken
away. 1t also cut around the
end Of the bridge below town,
but this was repaired the next
day.
There has been some moving,
if it has been muddy weather.
Lazell Fish moved Friday into
his new house that he had been
fitting up, Albert Hatch moved
into the Eliza Fish house, and
@. R. Gardner, Jr., and family,
who recently came down from
St. Johns, moved into the Jack
son house.
Our irrigation project is about
to take a boom. Things have
been arranged with the Board
of Control so that work will
commence in a very short time.
But another thing is blocking
the work-the recent high water
has cut away the banks of the
river, so that surveys, etc., may
have to be changed.

Drowned in the ella

Miss Flara Johnson received
word Monday of the death by
drowning of her brother, Joseph
H. Johnson, which occurred on
the 20th inst. Not much of the
particulars so far have been re-
ceived, only that he met his fate
while endeavoring to save the
lives of three others "a lady and
two gentleman-who were at
tempting to ford the swollen
Gila at Winkelman, and all four
were drowned. Mr.. Johnson
was twenty-five years old, mar
ried, and had three children.
Besides the family of the de-
ceased, he leaves behind two
sisters, Mrs. Arch Jensen of
Taylor and Miss Flara Johnson
of this place, and a number of
other relatives in this section to
mourn his untimely death.

the bench. He swears to uphold
the constitution of the United
States that guarantees religious
liberty, and uses his usurped
autocratic power to injure the
Snowflake Herald, because it is
representative of our Mormon
citizenry: he violates the laws
of Arizona by denying to clients
their rights to contract for the
printing for which they have to
pay; he has been unfaithful to
his trust in encouraging by his
silence the illegal appropriation
of $1,000 to buy his law library;
and he has shown by numerous
acts that he is grossly partial in
the discharge of his duties, by
allowing his personal friendships
and animosities to govern his
conduct.
With such a man on the bench,
trampling on the rights of the
people he has sworn to serve
faithfully, usurping autocratic
power to intimidate those who
incur his personal displeasure,
and prodigal in his favors to his
friends, there is but two rene
dies left for the people to purify
the court and place the judiciary
where it will command respect
and confidence. One is a recall
election, and the other is to go
before the legislature next Jan
uary. The recall is the remedy
for quick action, and it is up to
the people to decide if we have
the kind of judge we want.

W AANA oOSoO OINllOJ OoPP WC@O
elected to the Superior bench in
this county he subscribed to the
following oath:
State of Arizona, &C
County of Navajo, o.
|, Sidney Sapp, do solemnly
swear that | will support the
constitution of the United States
and the constitution and laws of
the State of Arizona; that l will
true faith and allegiance bear to
the same, and defend h m
against all enemies whatsoever,
and that | will faithfully and
impartially discharge the duties
of the office of Superior Judge
according to the best of my
ability, so help me God.
AS a judge he is supposed to
have an unbiased mind, free of
malice, petty politics, religious
prejudice, or arrogant assump-
tion of power. About one of
his first official acts was to make
an order that no legal notice
should be published in the Snow
flake Herald, and in open court
reprimanded Attorney Jones of
Flagstaff, because h e h a d
published an alias summons un-
Willingly in the forbidden news
paper. And for what reason?
The Snowflake Herald is one of
the best newspapers in Arizona,
and has just as large a circula-
tion of bona fide subscribers as
any paper in Navajo county.
Was it because its editor, Bob
Smith, affiliates with the Nor
mon church, and the Snowflake
country, where the paper circu-
lates largely, is populated by
people of the Mormon faith ?
Why this religious test for judi
cial favor? Are they not just as
good citizens as any of our gen
tile population; pay their taxes,
and mind their own business?
Prior to our residence, we un-
derstand Judge Sapp rode into
office on a religious war stirred
up by his political managers, but
he should have forgotten it after
the election, and went on the
bench with his mind freed from
religious prejudice. Can a Nor
mon receive justice in such
court? Do the decent, law
abiding people of this county
want such a Judge to precide
over their courts?
And now where does he get
his legal authority for his edict
against the Snowflake Herald,
or is it a brazen assumption of
power and official intimidation
of attorneys? The law covering
the publication of legal notices
reads as follows:
| Sec. 1860. All county a n d
other officers required by law to
give notice by publication of any
matter pertaining to or pending
| in their respective Offices, shall
| publish all such notices in some
newspaper published in their re-
spective counties, WHEN THE
COST OF SUCH PUBLICATION is
NOT TO BE A COUNTY CHARGE,
the party at whose cost the said
publication is made may desig
nate the newspaper in which
such publication shall be made
and may contract With the paper
so designated for the payment
of such publication.
Does this read like comforting
the power of a czar on the su-
pelior Judge? Only recently,
client contracted with the Wins
low Mail through his attorney,
for the publication of an alias
summons, and so notified Judge
Sapp in a written order, but he
denied the clients right of con-
tract arbitrarily, and ordered the
notice published in the Holbrook
News. But he could hardly be
blamed for that.
This is just another phase of
the judicial record of Judge Sapp

Crops are looking better and a
weeks sunshine will greatly improve
conditions in the county said County
Agent F. G. Warner Of the New Lon
don County Improvement league on
Sunday night. For the past month
or six weeks, crops about the county
in general have had a. hard time and
in some Instances whole fields OF corn
and potatoes have been drowned out.
It has been good year for hay but
the heavy rains have laid the crop low
and it is impossible TO harvest it. AL
falfa has suffered the same way. Sat
urdayss warm sunshine did a world Of
good, but Sundays downpour undid it
again and put the crops right back.
Potatoes are doing better than might
be supposed, but beans are in bad
shape and corn is at stand still. The
effect of the rain is quite noticeable
on alfalfa as the lower parts have al
ready started to rot. Apples IN
some orchards are doing quite well,
and the reach crop may survive the
struggle for existence.
The calling of the state militia to
the coIors for service in Mexico has
added to the already big farm help
problem. Farmers far and wide are
finding It more and more difficult to
keep their help and there Is "a posi-
bility of there not being men enough
to harvest the crops in the fall even II
they do survive the rains and cold

diplomas. A drama, Dottie's Dream,
was delightfully."- given by the members
of the graduating class. Following the
drama, Rev. u. o. Bellerose made an

done by the pupils during the past
year and how the teachers had tried
to model the young lives under their
