APACHE INDIAN KILLS RIVAL
 AS PREPARATION FOR WAR

GLOBE. June lI-Believing that his military registration meant that he, was to be called immediately to fight for the country, Joseph Cooley, an Apache Indian. as all good citidens should, decided to clear up all debts before departing. Before he had con- cluded another Indian had passed to the Great Beyond and sun another
 was carrying around a perforated right arm.
 The shooting occurred at Ft. Apache last week, following hard on the announcement by the agent of the registration that was to be made of all eligibles. Cooley became con vinced that he was to be immediate ly drafted into the army and decided 10 test his markmans1 F-3. a member of the redskin colony and a rival of Cooiey's. was used as a tar get. Three bullets from a Winches- ter rife. effectually wiped out the
 rivalry. A second enemy of Coo |, ley's left the country slightly in ad-
 vance of several ounces of lead. The Indian was given a prelimin-
 ary hearing before the United States
 commissioner at Fort Apache. and
 held on a charge of murder to await
 the action of the federal court. The United States court is to

RAILROADS As& PERMISSION
 TO INCREASE RATE

PHOENIX. June l1-Permission to increase their freight rates within the state of Arizona 15 per cent was Sat urday asked in formal application made to the state corporation com mission by the Arizona Eastern rail road, the Arizona ana New Mexico railroad, the Fl Paso and Southwest ern railroad. the Southern Pacific railroad and the Tucson. Cornelia and Gila Bend railroad.
 Notice was given by the corpora ton commission that the hearing on the application will be held al the offices of the commission in the state house at Phoenix on Wednesday morning. June e7. 1917, at II o'clock.
 The application of the Arizona railroads for raise of l5 per cent in freight rates is similar to applica- tions filed by roads in every state in the union and to the application be- fore the interstate commerce com mission al Washington for q like raise in rates fer interstate con.- mere. ard which now is being arg". ed before the commission at Wash. ing,0h
 No surprise has been expressed in any quarter at the call for relief from the railroads. It comes as d natural sequence of the uphoiding Of the AdaH.con law by the United States supreme court, which addec many millions 10 their annual oper- ating expenses.
 According to the Arizona corpora tion commission. this state is not ready to consent to the raise cs i5 per cent n iTe:ght rates by the rail roads of Arizona or Of any other state until after Arizona has been af- forded relief by an equitable adjust. ment of railroad rates in this state which the commission declares are far toe high

GREAT CHIEF CALLS WIFE
 OF OLD CHIEF IEvY.LEvY

KiNGMAN, Ariz.. June II. l91T- Levy-Levy. the aged peace chieftain
 of the Wallapai Indians. is mourning
 the loss Of his faithful squaw. who
 died on Wednesday last at the age of nearly one hundred years. For long time, in fact as far back as
 the mind of the Pale Face can re-
 member. the old lady and her old
 buck have been familiar characters
 in and about Kingman and in various other parts of Mohave county.
 According to Indian reasoning the aged wife of the chieftian is entitled
 to an especially favored seat about
 the lodge fires in the Happy Hunting Grounds on account of the fact that in 1876 she saved the white settlers at Beale Springs. just north of King man. from annihiliation at the hand of the savage Wallapai Charlie and his band of blood-thirsty redskins. The fact that she was instrumental lin saving the lives of more than thir- Ny people during this particular In- dian uprising had endeared her to the old settlers of Mohave county and now that the erstwhile savage people called Wallapais have come to believe that murdering white men is not exactly the proper thing. the latter tribesmen were of the belief that the Great Spirit would richly re- ward the old squaw for her good deeds. performed away back in those troublesome times when murdering and scalpIng the pale faces was the Indians idea of a good time
 It seems that Levy-Levy was al ways a friend Of the white man. and bitterly opposed the warfare which Chief Scherum and Wallapai Charlie waged on the newcomers from the east. IL is stated that one night during the temporary absence of | Levy-Levy from this locality, Walla. 1 pal Charlie and his warriors planned | an attack on the little post which l was at that time locatad at Beale | Springs, three iles frcm the present location of Kingman. Mrs. Levy-Levy received the news of the proposed at 1 tack and succeeded at considerable . risk to herself in warning the set { tiers, so that when the Indians show | ed up the white men were ready for , them. tnd although greatly outnum- bered, stood of the Indians, until Levy-Levy arrived and called of the . war-mad savages. [
 The old woman was totally blind i during the last few years of her life, and she is said to have been much in the need pf medical attention and other forms of help, which. alas. the | somewhat thankless white race fail. | ed to supply in her declining days.
 Ina funeral services were con duCted according to the Indian GUS toms on Thursday and q great gather ing of the Wallapai and Mohayes was present 10 Day their last respects to l the old squaw whose memory went
