Brutal Assault.

A brutal, coWardly assault was
made on Conductor James Claffey
last Tuesday night, by two men
named Hayes and Morgan when
they got off No. Fl at Holbrook.
The two men boarded the train
at Gallup, under the influence Of
liquor, and created more or less
of disturbance all the way to
Holbrook, and finally insisting on
entering the chair car. This Mr..
Clafey refused to permit them
to do, and made them remain in
their seats in the smoker. When
the train reached Holbrook, and
Conductor Clafey started to
step down on the platform one
of the men struck him. He
clinched with his assailant, and
while thus occupied the second
ruffian struck Claffey on the back
of the head with a gun, and as
Claffey turned he struck him a
second blow with the gun across
the forehead, cutting a two-inch
CASH. The two men then disap-
pared in the dark, but the next
morning were arrested by Sheriff
Newman, and taken before the
justice court, where they were
fined $50 and $100 respectively.

Aviator Will Fly.

Manager Bazell informs us he
has closed a contract with an
aviator at Dayton, Ohio, to be in
Winslow the week of the big Elk
show and make three flights on
three different days. This will
be the first appearance of an
aeroplane in northern Arizona,
and will be very attractive feat
ure.
Another attractive feature will
be a pair of handsome diving
girls, and fancy dancing maid
who could give the dancing cho-
rus in the harem of the Sultan
of Turkey instruction in the art
of graceful movements.
The mounted elk, that is to be
raff1ed off among the members
of the fraternity was received
yesterday, and is now on exhibi-
ton in Elks' hall. 1t is a beauti-
full piece of the taxedermist's
art.
Letters being daily received at
headquarters from all over north
ern Arizona, and from points in
New Mexico, give indication that
the Elks' week of Aug. 7-13 will
be the big event of the year.
Efforts are being made to get the
Santa Fe to make a half fare
rate for the week between Albu-
querque and Needles, and the
move will probably be successful.

Whist Party.

Mrs. Ross G. Bazell was the
charming hostess at an elaborate
function Tuesday afternoon,
when she entertained at whist
nearly half a hundred of her
lady friends, and later served a
dainty appetizing two-course
luncheon, ably assisted by
Mesdames Powell, Kaufman and
Irwin. The table appointments
were perfect and the decorations
of potted plants and trailing
greenery added to the beauty and
spirit of the occasion. Three
handsome prizes were awarded
at the close of the whist session,
the first going to Mrs. 0. w.
Schleutter, the second to Mrs.
Amy C. Jones, and the third to
Mrs. Sam Folsom.

Auburn Has Prospects
 of Developing Winner
Large Number of Old Men Again in Fold-Well Fortified in Every Departmental and Milligan Two Good Hurlers, to be Used as Nucleus With HairstOn-Auburn Out For Championship

Auburn, February 12.-(Special.) ) Though it's a long time before the sound of the bat and the ball ring in the arrival of spring it ght not be out of place to take stock and talk of the prospects for Auburn for the coming season. With the nucleus of last years team, large number of which returned, Auburn should be able to present a winning team in base ball.
 The battery positions play an impor- tant part in the success of any nine, but still more important part in the success of a college baseball team. With Hairston behind the bat there is no cause for worry for he displayed all- southern form last year, despite the fact that he was hitting considerably below his normal stride. This season he should clearly outclass all south ern catchers With Price and Milligan returned Auburn has her two most sue cessful hurlers of 1915 to start with. Price should be one of the leading pitchers of the south and Milligan showed excellent early season form. If we are fortunate enough to have any new material for the pitching staff we should be well fortified and the team should be of championship calibre.
 First base will probably fall to Ivey Griffin, late of the Marion institute, and he should be the class of the south at the initial corner Jenkins from Birmingham High school, is good hit ter, who has formerly cavorted around the first sack, but with Griffin there, he will probably be tried at short stop.

Travelling With q Cello

k. II. Sehauffler, in Atlantic Monthly.
 Travelling with a cello is almost as Good--and almost as bad-as travelling with child. It helps you, for example, in cultivating friendly relations with fellow passengers. Suppose there is a broken wheel. or the engineer is wait ing for No. 26 to pass, or you are stalled for three days in a blizzard what more jolly than to undress your cello and play each of those present the tune he would most like to hear and lead the congregational singing of Dixie 'Tipperary," and Home, Sweet Home?''
 tiddle may even render tenable one of those railway functions which Ste venson cursed as the nadir of intrinsic uninterestinSness, and which MT. Clay ton Hamilton has recently glorified with such brio in the Unpopular Re- view.
 But this is only the bright side. In some ways travelling with cello is az uncomfortable as travelling. not only With baby, but with donkey. Un- less. indeed. you have an instrument with convenient hinged door in the back so that you may pack it full of forth, thus dispensing with a bag; or, unless You can calk up its r holes and u1e the instrument as canoe on oc- casions, a cello is about as inconven- lent travelling companion as the corpse in Stevenson's tale, which would insist on getting into the wrong box.

A Just Judge

From the Outn COnlpanlOn.
 There is an old New England squire whose knowledge of the statute law is limited, but who has decided views on common justice. Not long ago a certain Zed Smith was brought before him. charged with larceny. It appeared from the evidence that Zed had rented horse from farmer to do some hauling, and that, during the period the animal had remained in his possession, he had fed it from the owners stock of grain, the agreement being that Zed himself was to supply the feed. He was charged by the farmer, therefore. with the theft of two bushels of oats and corn
 ''The statutes made and provided" the old squire announced ponderously "says that theft is to convert to your own use the property of another. The horse is; the servant of the owner. not Zed. and Zed converted them oats to the horse $ use. not his-so l acquit Zed of stealth them oats. He ain't guilty oflarceny"
 Zed rose. thanked the squire. and was about to leave the room when the old nan called him back.
 "As sald. Zed.'' he remarked, with a gleam of humor in his eye. you ain { guilty of larceny, but you shore air gull ty of something. and I'm goin to send you to jail for a month for it."
