Henry Hall, the popular and eff
cient sheriff of Pinal county, paid Ray
visit few days ago. Mr. Hall is en-
route to Rochester, Mimi, where he is
going to consult the Mayo specialists
in the hope of finding some permanent
relief from his ailment. Mr.. Hall is the
most efficient sheriff the county has
ever known, and it seems a pity that
such a situation should arise, yet in
all his troubles Mr.. Hall has never
swerved from his path of duty and in
going to seek relief he takes with him
the sincere wishes of the whole county
that he may be vastly benefited by the
wonderworking Mayo Brothers.
E. H. Kunselman, camera man from
Phoenix, while in Ray the other day
took some pictures of the two crack
First Aid teams in Ray; also a couple

teams in the state championship con-
test at Bisbee last September-Labor
day. These cups were donated by the
Phoenix Fair Association. While here
Mr.. Kunselmann also took a number
of interior views of the club house.
These photographs, when properly
mounted and framed, will occupy a
prominent place in the club house and
stand as an ever reminder of the con-
stant application of these boys to the
study of first aid; they started long
after several teams in the state and
now rank first place in the state of
Arizona as well as fourth place in the
United States.

GETTING USED TO SHELLS
Narrow Escapes Do Not Even Pro,
woke a Comment In the
Present War.

AS we bowled down the road toward
a group Of brick houses on the left, a
shell passed not more than SO yards in
front of us and through the side of one
Of these houses as easily as circus
rider pops through tissue paper
hoop. Almost at the same instant an
other explOded-where I haven't the
least idea, except that the dust from
it hit us in the face. The motor rolled
smoothly along meanwhile, and the
Belgian soldier driving it stared as
imperturbably ahead of him as If he
were back at Antwerp on the seat Of
his taxicab.
You get used to shells in time, it
seems, and, deciding that you either
are or are not going to be hit, dismiss
responsibility and leave it all to fate.
I must admit that in my brief expert
ence I was not able to arrive at this
restful state. We reached at last the
city gate through which we had left
Antwerp, and the motor came to stop
just at the inner edge of the passage
under the fort, and 1 said goodby to
the young Englishman ere he started
back for the trenches again.
"Well," he called after me as start
ed across the open space between the
gate and the house, stones throw
away, you've had an experience, any
way"
l was just about to answer that I'M
doubtedly had when-"Tzee-ee-ee-
ee-r"-a shell just cleared the ram
parts over our heads and disappeared
in the side of house directly in front
of us with q roar and q geyser of
dust. Neither the motor nor guests
duty now detained me, and, waving
him goodby, turned at right angles
and made with true civilian speed for
the shelter of a side street.
The progress of the motor seemed
slow and disappointing. Not that the
spot quarter of mile off was at all
less likely to be hit, yet one felt con-
scious of a growing desire to be some
where else. And though took off my
hat to keep it from blowing off,
found that every time shell went
over I promptly put 1t on again, indi-
eating, one suspected, a decline In

ed to file out Of the g1ardhouse. Hard.
waved them back, and seated himself
on the chair that Redbear had brought
from the Office. With calm, direct
gaze, Hardy studied the appearance of
the triple row Of Indians To an in
experienced eye they could not have
appeared more peaceably disposed. But
Hardy's keen eyes noted that the
blankets Of some of the men in the
rear were hunched out over wellfilled
quivers Of arrows. Here and there on
the ground beside the subchiefs who
formed the front row muzzle Of
rifle thrust from under the 0utspread
blanket ends.
Hardy at last fixed his gaze on Thun-
derbolt, who sat in the center Of the
row Of subchiefs, and after delibera-
tive silence that accorded with the In.
dian idea of etiquette, spoke to Red
bear: 'Tell them that I am pleased
to meet in council with the head chief
and subchiefs and headmen Of the
tribe. am here to find out what has
troubled the tribe and to see whatever
Is wrong shall be made right"
Redbear glanced at Vandervyn, who
stood behind Hardy. The eyes of the
chief clerk narrowed, and his small.
red mouth Strengthened. Redbear drew
in quick breath. faced about. and ad-
dressed the assembly. What he said
took several moments to deliver.
The hush that followed seemed to
culver with suppressed hostility,
though the faces of the Indians re-
manned stolid. At last old Ti-owa-
konza ventured response. His tone
and bearing were mild. He first spoke
sOothingly to his fellow councillors, and
then addressed Hardy in dignified re-
mOnstrance. When he sat down again,
Redbear stood silent, uneasy and vacil-
lating.
Interpret" ordered Hardy.
"I-I-it isn't easy. You mightn't
like IT." mumbled the halfbreed.
"Never mind that. Proceed"
swell, it's not easy to get it just the
same" hesitated Redbear. He glanced
at Vandervyn, licked his lips, and be-
gan:
"He says all this land belongs to the
tribe; that the white man has no bust
ness here. He says that he is not
sorry Mr.. Nogen was killed, but he is
sorry that you have come here. He
says his people do not like the Long
knives, who used to kill them, and
they do not want you for agent, be-
cause you are chief of the Long
knives. He says they like Mr.. Van,
! and they want him to be their agent"
