promptly to vote for the bonds.
If you are opposed to the bond
proposition make it your business
to get to the polls and register
your protest. Sitting around
home growing about the bond
election gets you nowhere, but
do your protesting with the bal
lot. The polls will be open from
6 a. m. to 6 p. M, and the poll
ing places will be at the city hal
on Front street, the fire engine
house on Kinsley, and the North

Home Guards Organize.

1t is possible the war will end
before the United States get any
of her soldiers into the field, but
the spirit of patriotism that
prompted a hundred of WinsloW's S
citizens to organize drill corps
is none the less commendable.
While other towns in the state
were holding loyalty meetings
our young men, and a number of
the older ones, were organizing
for military instruction. Fortu-
nately we have in our midst
several men who have had mill
tary training in both the regular
army and the national guard and
they have volunteered their ser
vices as instructors.
A squad of about twenty, who
have had previous training, meet
every evening at Cne CITY nall as
school of officers to brighten
up on their duties. The drill
corps is divided up into two COM
panies of fifty each, Walter V.
Belding having charge of one,
and 7. T. ]. Kennedy taking the
other. Both of these gentlemen
have seen service with the reg
ular army, and make efficient in
structors. Each company meets
twice a week for drill in the op-
era house, but as soon as the
weather gets warmer they will
all drill together in the open.

Whisky and Gambling.

The sheriff and city officers
made wholesale raid in Winslow
early Tuesday morning, and at
the conclusion of the roundup
five men were under arrest for
selling liquor, or having it lille
gally in their possession, and
three others were charged with
operating a gambling resort.
County Attorney Larson was
on hand, and it was a busy day
for Judge Sampson. One plead
ed guilty, and the others were
bound over after a preliminary
hearing, all of them being re-
leased on bonds.' The men charg-
ed with violating the prohibition
law are Byron Yount, j. R. Phil
lips, John Williams, VIM. Adkins
and David Frampton.
The three men charged with
operating gambling resort are
]. ]. Rubi, Chas. Rubi and Joe
Chavis. Their trial will be held
some day next week.
Only small quantity of liquor
was captured in the raid, about
twenty pints. The end is not yet
and some of the higher-ups will
be given a chance to explain what
interest they had in the sale of
liquor, as soon as the present
cases are disposed of in the su-
perior court.

German Conspirator Captured

A fellow giving his name as
Joe Bailey Marcum was taken
into custody by the officers at
Gallup, who confesses that he
with two other men had entered
into an agreement with parties
in Mexico that for a consideration
of $40, 600 they would dynamite
the coal mines at Gallup, and the
Santa Fe bridges at Winslow and
Canyon Diablo. According to his
story he and his partner left Ell
Paso two weeks ago for Los
Angeles, and then started for
Gallup, stopping enroute at
Needles, Williams, Flagstaff and
Winslow. He had in his posses
sion when arrested a grip sack
containing twenty sticks Of
dynamite, md whether there is
anything to his story or not lie
will probably be prosecuted for
transporting dynamite on a pas
senger train. The register of a
japanese rooming house here
shows that Marcum was register
ed here at the time he said he
was in the city.

Wedding and Announcement

A very pretty wedding was
solemnized Easter Monday after
noon in the Christian church at
Topeka, Kansas, that was of
more than passing interest to
the younger set of Winslow,
when Miss Ruby Gray of Tope-
ka, became the bride of Mr.. Ben
jaman F. Doolittle of this city.
The wedding was a very quiet
affair, only the immediate rela-
tives and close intimate friends
being present, and Immediately
following the ceremony the young
couple left for Kansas City for a
brief honeymoon. The bride is
not a stranger to WinsloW, as
she spent several months here
last year visiting at the home Of
her brother Orbra Gray, and was
a social favorite. The groom is
one of Winslow's popular boys.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doolittle arrived
here Saturday evening and i'm
mediately started housekeeping
in the home already prepared for
the reception of its new mistress
at 410 west Fourth street.
Notable among the many an
nouncements of the Easter sea-
son is the engagement of Miss
Marjorie Boles, the popular kin
dergarten teacher in our schools,
to Mr.. Jot Stiles. The date for
the wedding has been set for
October. The engagement was
very prettily announced Thurs
day evering of last week when
Miss Ruby Cassin entertained in
her honor at her spacious home
on west Fourth street. The ev-
ening was passed pleasantly at
five hundred, and at an appro-
pirate hour the guests were ush-
cred into the dining room, where
beautifully arranged tables were
I"resplendant with roses and red
hearts. Place cards were pic
lures of two gosSiping women,
and in the pocket of one was a
folded note bearing the news.
The table where the popular
bride-elect was seated, was clev-
erly decorated with a miniature
log cabin surrounded by green
cry. In front of the door was a
kewpie wearing a large sombre-
ro and carrying rake. The
guests were Mesdames Cornelius,
Grover, Roach, Savage, Penrod
and M'dell Welch, and Misses
McMillin, ludlow, White, Han
ley, Cresswell, Doolittle, Fouts,
Gibson, Melick, Manuel, Butner,
Oakley, Brown, Grace and May
Anderson, Hackley, Stephens,
Conner, Monroe, Daze, Waite
and Drumm.
The engagement of Miss Es-
telle Polcyn to Mr.. Darden has
been announced, and the date
has been set for April twenty
eighth. Mr.. Darden was former
ly cashier at the Harvey and left
a short time ago for Bisbee,
where he has entered the auto
mobile business.
