Charged With Forgery.

Word has been received here
that H. A. Cheverton, who last
year was the manager of the
Navajo jo-Apache banks, was con-
fined in the Jail at Prescott on a
charge of forgery. One check
was forged against Ed. Sawyer,
of this city, who was one of the
stockholders in the bank at the
time Cheverton was manager.
When the Navajo Apache banks
went into voluntary liquidation
last year Cheverton left Winslow
for Los Angeles. where his busi-
ness ventures all proved failures,
and it was rumored he had gone
to Mexico. Cheverton for a
number of years was cashier of
the Prescott National Bank, and
later was one of the state bank
examiners, but liquor and the
gay life of the big white way re-
quired too much money, and he
has come to the usual end of such
a road.

was in the city early in the week
with his contractor, making plans
and estimates for putting a new

cost Of living we are reminded
OF a banquet given a few years

the financial arrangements, and
it called for $65 for liquors and
$14 for eatables. The financial
agent protested the bill vigor-
ously, and the caterer started in
to assure him the several items
on the liquor bill were correct.

declaration that he knew they
had that much liquor, but he
could not understand why it was
necessary to spend so much mon
ey for grub. Mankind is pecu-
liar. He never protests the high
price of luXuries he buys, but
kicks all the time on the cost of
the necessaries.

The California people have intro
duced more Innovations into their
governmental system than have the
people of any other state. Some Of
these in time will become more or
less distasteful. Governor Johnson
was the big spirit in bringing about
these innovations and he is yet very
popular. In that state the legislat-
ors meet, introduce their bills, then
adjourn for a time, during which
time the Legislators thru their COM
mittees prepare and study along
these lines. Then the Legislature
meets again and takes up only those
measures that were introduced at
the first session. This system would
seem to have merit and yet it may
be that too much time for the COM
mittees may result in much doctor
ed legislation.

Is making the fight of his life before

he will go back to his farm near La

reason why he is being opposed is
that he is a conservative Democrat
