Prominent Arizonian Killed.

John Mcbride, of Phoenix, one
of the best known labor leaders
in the country, and only recently
appointed a special labor con-
cilliator by President Wilson, was
killed at Globe early Tuesday
morning when a runaway horse
knocked him through plate
glass window, and shis injuries
resulted in his death in a few
hours thereafter. He had gone
to Globe the day previous with
the Secretary of Labor and the
special committee to investigate
the labor troubles. Mr.. Mcbride
was at one time president of the
American Federation of Labor,
but of late years, on account of
his health; has made his home in
Phoenix.
The fire department was called
out to the residence of H. H.
Wingfeld Tuesday afternoon.
Children playing with fire in the
yard let the flames reach the coal
house and fence, which rapidly
spread to the house. The de-
partment extinguished the fire
before any material damage was
done to the house.
The government has posted
notices for bids for the con-
struction of two steel bridges
at the Leupp. The construction
of these bridges is of more than
passing interest to Winslow, as
it will open that section of coun-
try to do their trading here.

Show House Nearly Completed.

The work of rebuilding the in
terror of the Front Street opera
house is nearly completed, and
it will probably be ready to tn row
open to the public about the
18th. There has certainly been
a remarkable transformation in
it's appearance. Mr.. Willis, the
scenic artist, has just about
finished with the new drop cur
tain and other pieces of scenery
that will be part of the regular
stage equipment, the carpenters
will have the new opera seats all
in place this week, and the cleo
trical connections will be finish
ed ready for a try-out tonight.
The house will be beautifully
lighted with six basket lights
from the ceiling and six basket
lights on the side walls. Two of
the latest improved projecting
machines are already installed,
each being driven with electric
motors. Mr.. Barncord is spend
ing his money literally to make
it the most up-to-date play house
in, northern Arizona.

Dairy Changes Hands.

]. K. LaPrade has disposed of
his interest in the Sunset dairy
to his brother, C. J. LaPrade,
who has been associated with
him for several years. Jim de-
nies the soft impeachment that
he sold out because the water
supply was getting low in the
Little Colorado, but reluctantly
admits he was getting tired of
work and wanted to rest awhile.

Columbus Day Celebration.

Under the auspices of the
Knights Of Columbus and the
Winslow Chapter of the Red
Cross. Columbus Day will be Gel
ebrated to-day (Friday) at the
ball park with a barbacue and an
elaborate program of speeches
and sports.
The people are requested to as
semble at the corner of Klnsley
and Second streets as 1890 p. m.
where the parade will form to
go to the grounds. Automobile
owners are urged to decorate
their machines with American
flags. A brass band will head
the parade and the grounds will
be reached at one o'clock, when
the barbecue will be ready to
served Immediately.
The afternoon program will
start at 2 q. m. with an address
by Hon. Geo. J. Stoneman, of
Phoenix, state chairman of the
four-rninute men. Following will
be brief addresses by local speak
ers, a solo by Miss Conner, as
sisted by a chorus of forty boys,
a patriotic drill by the scholars
under Misses Hanley and Penrod,
a reading by Miss Chase, and a
flag drill by the scholars under
the direction of Miss Hackley.
The sports of the afternoon
will be an automobile race, a foot
ball game, and host of small
sports for the children. 1t will
be an interest and instructive af-
ternoon, and everybody should
turn out. The stores will close
for the afternoon.
The Red Cross will make it a
tag day to raise funds for the
society work, and a tag will be
a badge of loyalty to the cause.
A bevy of girls will have charge
of the tagging, and it is hoped
there will be enough enthusiasm
manifested that dollars will be
more humorous than nickles when
you are asked to take a tag. Get
into the militant spirit of the day
and let loose of your money with
a smile instead of a crouch. You
will feel better, and it will make
lighter the task of the young la
dies. Be real sport for once in
your life.

Whiskey and Gun Fight.

About 1:30.a. m. Monday Night
Officer Gardner attempted to ar
rest one Jose Alvarado for being
drunk, but instead of quietly sub
mitting he struck the officer over
the head with a heavy pocket
flask light. A companion of
Alvarado's join in the scrim-
mage, and it was a free for all
fight for several minutes, when
the man with Alvarado pulled a
gun and fired six times at the Of
ficer without hitting, and then
both men started to run.
Gardner got his artillery timber
ed up by that time and took one
shot at the fleeing thugs, infict-
ing a flesh wound on Alvarado,
whom he arrested and sent to
the Santa Fe hospital. The man
who did the shooting escaped and
has probably left the country for
good.
This town has been cursed for
some time a lot of worthless out
law Mexicans, who have no other
occupation than drinking whis-
key, boot-legging and disturbing
the homes of our quiet orderly
Mexican families, and are always
prepared to resist an officer when
ne attempts to arrest them. 1t
is to be regretted that Officer
Gardner is not a better marks
man, so he could have killed both
his asasilants,' and probably it
would have been an object lesson
to any other thug who thought
he could resist when placed under
arrest. We do not think the law
intends an officer shall permit
himself to beat up by men he is
att empting to place under arrest,
and particularly when the men
are strangers in the community,
and at the first vicious assault
the officer should cover them
with his gun, and it they did not
then peacefully submit to arrest
he should shoot, and shoot to kill.
There is too much Watery-eyed
sentimentalism wasted on lot
of thugs, who are always boast
ing they will beat up or kill any
officer who attempts to arrest
them.
Description of the gun man has
been sent out to all the towns by
the sheriff's office, and a reward
of SIS has been offered for his
arrest, and in addition to this
amount Deputy Gardner person
ally offers $25 for any informa-
ton that will enable him to meet
UP with the man again.

School Notes.

~AASS ASOSA@AA SaAAAC VI kI1S
season was a blow to all the high
school students and boosters, as
we had expected to defeat Pres
colt, and the best we got was q
6 to 6 tie. The teams were very
evenly matched lin weight. aver
aging close to 1877 pounds. 1t
was rumored the team was to
disband after 1.-THE game, due to
so many not wanting TO play
more. but we cannot say as to
the truth sof the rumor. Hertz
and Eastman were the stars of
the game, making many good
runs, and being especially good
at line bucking. Edgar and
Hubbard also played their usual
fast clean game. The Cain
brothers were the best on the
Prescott team. The game was
free from all slugging and other
disagreeable features. In the
evening a party was giving by
the high students for the visi-
tors.
The enrolment is increasing
slowly but surely to last years
high mark of seven hundred. It
passed $50 last week.9
Junior Red Cross organizations
were set on foot in the North
Grammar and high schools last
week by Prof. Cornelius. The
high school has about 80 men,
bers and the North Grammar
over 100 at this writing. Organ
izations will be organized later in
the Froebel and South Side
school.
The domestic science installa-
tion at the North Grommar
school was completed last week,
and the girls Of that school will
start at once with their years
work in cooking.;
Average attendance the first
week was 99:2 thus demonstrate
ing the efficiency of our state
system of compulsory education.
Coach A. w. Porter is work
ing hard with his cadet corps.
Uniforms have been ordered by
the boys. the same complying
with the specifications sent out
by Adjuntant General Harris.
The state authorities are going
to do all uniform buying for the
high schools of the state, so as
to get the advantage of quantity
prices. The uniforms are to cost
the boys $40 each, and they can
be worn for school clothes all the
time, which will save the wear
and tear of a suit of civilian
clothes and probably two as the
uniforms are very tough.
Supt. C. O. Case. of Phoenix,
writes that 1000 rifles were re-
Gently purchased for high school
cadets.
The high school parent-teachers
association meeting held Tuesday
evening was largely attended.
1t was the first meeting of the
year.
The Froebel school mothers
club held a meeting at that build
ing Tuesday afternoon. About
seventy were present to enjoy
the program and refreshments,
Mrs. G. K. Anderson presided.

Much Wanted Convict.

Much Wanted Convict.
During the administration of
Bob Sims as warden of the peni-
tentiary, he had convict named
Brinkley acting as assistant book
keeper, and two days before the
prison was to be turned over to
the new warden the prisoner es-
capped, and left behind a set of
mutilated records that made it
impossible to check up the fnan-
cial affairs of the institution.
A few days ago BrinkIey was
located in the camp at Douglas,
where he had enlisted as a SOL
.dier. He was taken into costody
and returned to prison. and the
authorities hope to gain some in
formation as to his miraculous
escape just prior to the change
of the prison management, and
learn if possible if there was any
connection between the mutila-
tion of the prison records and
his escape.
Word was received here Mon
day that Mr.. Joseph Dent, of
Flagstaff, a brother-in-law of
Sheriff Newman, was strickened
with apoplexy while visiting in
Holbrook with his son. He was
taken to Flagstaff the next pay.
Miss Anna Foster left Tuesday
evening for Cotton, Calf, where
she will visit with her brother
several weeks for a much needed
rest. During her absence her
sister will have charge of the
Palace Hotel.
Mrs. Clara Foster, who has
been absent at Hot Springs, Ark, 4,
for over a year, returned home
last week, very much improved
in health. We think she has lost
some of her loyalty to Winslow,
as she has an idea she would like
to live at the Springs all the
time.
The editor has a letter from
Jimmy Cunningham, now sta
toned at Vancouver, WASH, as
one of Uncle Sans boys in the
engineering corps, in which he
asks us to say something about
giving for the soldiers. So next
week we will talk for Jimmy as
he requests.
