Mail Train Bandits.

The press dispatches early this
week bear the information that
Jim Medsker, formerly a switch
man in the Winslow yards under
j. P. TulIey, had been arrested
in St. Louis and confessed that
he was connected with the band
of train robbers who held up a
train on the Michigan Central
two weeks ago at point near
Detroit. In his confession he
implicated another switchman
named Nall, alias O'Connell, who
was formerly sWitchman at
Seligman, and another railroad
man who worked on California
division. A revolver dropped in
the engine during the hold-up
furnished the clue that led to the
arrest of Medsker. About ten
days ago Medsker dropped off a
train here on his way east from
Los Angeles, and at the time off
GERS were on his trail.

Phoenix Winslow Foot Ball.

The big event in the football
life OF Winslow is staged for
next Monday afternoon at the To-

clusions with our lads. Phoenix
has held the championship of
Arizona for several years, and
are touted to be even superior in
strength and training this year,
the game gives promise of being
fast and hotly contested. Our
boyn are gamey bunch to even
attempt to tackle the Phoenix
champions, but the editor has
made an agreement with himself
to act as mascot for our boys on
this occasion, and if they can
clean up on this Phoenix bunch

Winslow Sees Roosevelt.

Sunday afternoon word was
received here that the private
car of Mr.. Roosevelt and his party
was attached to No. 10, which ar
rives here about 10 p. m., enroute
to the east. The word rapidly
spread about the city, and on the
arrival of the train a couple of
hundred people were assembled
at the station with the Santa Fe
band. AS soon as the train stop
ped Mr.. Roosevelt appeared on
the rear platform, and was greet
ed with cheers and applause,
which apparently was pleasing
to that gentleman, judging by
his expansive smile. With sew
eral trains in the yards at the
time there was considerable
noise, and Mr.. Roosevelt made
no attempt at political speech,
but talked Informally of Arizona
and her rapid developement in
the past few years, reminding
his hearers that he was parti.
cularly interested in the people
of this state and New Mexico be-
cause his rough rider" boys of
the Spanish war came from these
states. His only allusion to poll
tics was his opening remark that
he had made this trip to Arizona
for the purpose of doing his part
to once more interest the people
in American patriotism, and re-
storing the government once
more to its proper place in the
congress of nations.

Winslow VS.. Prescott.

Last Friday morning our high
school foot ball team, accompan-
led by Coach Porter and Prof.
Grover, went to Prescott to play
a return game with the high
school team of that city. The
Prescott team and the school met
our boys at the train, and escort
ed them to the hotel, where later
in the evening Coach Porter gave
the lads their final instructions.
The game was called Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. Prescott
won the toss and WinsloW kicked
to them. 1t was a fake kick
which failed, and Prescott had
the ball on Winslow's 45-yard
line. Several line bucks were
tried, but Prescott lost the ball on
downs to Winslow. Line bucks
and a forward pass carried the
ball to the 5-yard line, and Suth-
erland went over for a touch
down. Grayson failed to kick
goal. The quarter ended with
the ball in Prescott's possession.
Score: Winslow 6, Prescott 0.
During the second and third
quarters the ball was carried,
kicked and punted forward and
back across the field, but neither
side succeed in scoring.
The last quarter started with
Prescott in possession of the ball,
but they were forced to kick,
and it was Winslow's ball on the
10-yard line. Winslow kicked
and recovered the ball near the
center Of the field. A forward
pass was caught by Sutton, ano
with good interference by Hub
bard, Grayson and Rubi, it was
carried over for a touchdown.
The game ended with the ball in
possession of Winslow. Final
score: Winslow IL; Prescott 0.
In the evening the Prescott
school gave a dance in honor of
their visitors, and the next morn
ing escorted them to their train.
It was a pleasant trip, and one
thoroughly enjoyed by our boys.
