When man first saw the camel, he was so frightened at his vast size that he fled away After a time, perceiv- ing the meekness and gentleness of his temper, he summoned courage enough to approach him. Soon after, wards, observing that he was an an imal altogether deficient in spirit, he assumed such boldness as to put a bridle in his mouth, and to set child to drive him.

Sheebherder Surrenders Himself

Sheepherder SurTenderS Himself
 Last Saturday, Max Cantaro, a sheepherder who shot and ser, iously injured Antonio Martinez, a companion herder, June 4 at the camp of Frank Galsary 6 Co.,. near Dry Lake in, thls coun- ty, came into Holbrook and sur rendered himself to Undersheriff Clemons. ,a ;..,4 4rai5 al:4
 The day after the shooting oc- cured ,Undersherif Clemens visited the scene3 Cantaro had disappeared and MT. Clemens decided that the best way to eff feet his arrest was to create. the impression that the sheriff s office would not make. much eff fort to find him. as he probably shot Martinez in self defense. This the ,undersheriff sdid. and the result of this diplomacy was that eCantaro gave himself up to the sheriff s office Saturday.
 Cantaro Willabe given a pre- examination before Judge Boyer some time today, Martinez has fully recovered from his wounds and has left the county In the absence of the prosecuting witness Contaro may be discharged from custody.

MAN KILLS WIFE AND SELF
James Johnson, Proprietor of the White Help Restaurant in Hol- brook, Murders His Wife and Commits Suicide


 A telephone message received
 by the sheriff's office Wednesday morning about Il o'clock stated that a double tragedy had been enacted that morning on the Taylor and Pinedale road, about one mile southwest of Taylor. Undersherlff Clemons secured an automobile and, accompanied by Dr. J. w. Bazell. made a fast drive to Taylor. Here he found that James Johnson had killed his wife by shooting her in the left breast and had afterwards shot himself in the head and then taken an ounce of carbolic acid.
 Johnson and his wife left Hol- brook Tuesday morning for Pine dale. where they remained over night. They were accompanied by their ten year old daughter. According to the story told by the child at the coroner's inquest held by E. T. Hatch. justice of the peace, at Taylor, where the bodies were taken as soon as the child gave the alarm, her parents had been quarrelling from the time they left Pinedale until they reached the crossroads near Fay Tor. At this point Johnson told his wife, who was driving, to stop the car and they would set tie their trouble. When the car was stopped Johnson drew a small 38 caliber revolver and said he would shoot himself. How ever he changed his mind and started shooting at his wife who had jumped from the car, Two shots went wild and then Johnson leaped from the car, caught his wife with his left hand and with his right fired a bullet into her left breast. Her death was probably instantaneous as the bullet evidently pierced the heart.
 After shooting his wife John son carried her body into the shadow of the car, gave his money and some letters to his little daughter and told her to go to Taylor to a relatives home. He then attempted to kill himself by firing the last shot in the gun into the right side of his head near the temple. The bullet glanced and made only slight wound. Johnson then walked to a cedar stump about 40 yards from the car, hid the gun and returned to his wite's body. He then drank about an ounce of carbolic acid and laid down to die. Here he was found by people who had been notified of the tragedy by the little girl. He was not dead when found but died shortly after being taken to Taylor.
 The unfortunate victims of this double tragedy came to Holbrook about two weeks ago from Globe and purchased the White Help Restaurant from c. H. Wisdom, who had purchased the establish ment from them a year previous ly. That Johnson had for some time meditated upon the course he took Wednesday morning is evident from the fact that early last week he purchased the re- volver and the carbolic acid. Also the letters he had written to his little daughter bore the date of June 28, and told her partly of his plans.
 That the man had gone insane from breeding over business and family matters is the only chari- table construction that can be placed upon his rash acts. Funeral and burial occurred Thursday at Pinedale.

Independence Day in Holbrook
 Independence day was a quiet one in HoIbrook. The town was deserted by everybody who had the price, or the inclination. to leave. Some went to Prescott, others to Flagstaff and a fair size crowd went to Springerville, at all of which places big cele- brations occurred. Snowflake and St. Juseph. where small cele- brations were held, also drew a number of people from this vicinity. and in the afternoon, practically all persons who had not gone some place else went to the tamarack grove, east of town, and spent the afternoon and evening in a picnic.
 No serious accidents were re- ported from any of the celebra+ tion, excepting from the picnic in the tamarack grove. At thls place Judge D. J. Thomas suffer- ed a badly sprained ankle, the result of an attempt to make a home-run in a base ball game which had been matched by bim- self and Attorney c. H. Jordan. It seems that in Judge Thomas club women players predomina- ted over those Tn Attorney Jor- dams club, and in order to re- move the handicap of his club in running bases, Judge Thomas very gaIlantly volunteered to run the bases for all the ladies who hit the ball. It was in pursuance of this laudable undertaking that he sprained his left ankle anC since then has been walking with the aid of cane His ac
 cldent, according to Judge Thomas version, made the vic tory of Jordan's club possible.
