Our Boys at Naco.

The editor has a card from on e
of the boys in camp with the 1st
Arizona at Naco as follows:
This is a sorry day in camp.
Uncle Sam has decided that we
need more medicine to prevent
fever and other diseases, so we
have to take several more needle
thrusts. We are all sick to-day
as a result from yesterdays shot
in the arm. Gates tainted twice,
Brayman and Johnson tainted
once each, and Faulkner hangs his
head out of the tent thinking he
is on board ship. Focht, Fischer,
Fenton and Adair are trying to
drown i'll feelings by reading love
letters from the ladies far away.
All will be we'll soon, and we all
send good wishes.

Miners Strike at Bisbee.

The miners in the Warren dis

thousand went out on a strike
Wednesday at the call of the
Metal Mining branch of the |. w.

several mining companies to treat
with the organization or consider
any of their demands.
The manager of the Phelps

any question of merit in the de-

never negotiate with an organi-

Red Cross War Fund.

The campaign for the Red
Cross war fund closed Wednes-
day evening and the total sub
scription amounts to $461. Five
teams were out for two days in
the campaign, Mrs. Cumming,
Mrs. Jackson, VIM. Daze and F.
M. Dunham, Revs. Gordon and
White, Mrs. Dadey and Mrs.
Shipley with a bevy of young Ia
dies. While the amount raised
falls far short of what Winslow
was expected to do, the cam
paigners are entitled to praise
for the hard work put in during
the two days, with no hope of
reward other than the satisfac-
ton of knowing they did their
full duty.
Two of the young ladies in
Mrs. Dadey's team tell of a man
and boy who hunted them up
in order to make contribution,
and young lady in the super
intendent's office told Mrs. Cum
ming she had been carrying S.
with her for a week waiting for
some committee to call for it,
and seemed glad of the opportu-
nifty to contribute her mite; but
we are sorry to say the work of
the canvaSserS was not made SO
easy and pleasant in many other
cases. Gruff refusals and even
rudeness greeted the workers,
as though they were common
mendicants soliciting money for
their personal benefit. These
people seemed to forget these
ladies were the wives and daugh-
ters of our own citizens, who
were doing their "bit" patriotic
ally at considerable personal sac
rifice. Most of the people, how
ever, received them graciously
which kept up their courage for
the work.

Lies Shady Side.

In an effort to adjust their diff
ticulties last Wednesday after
noon, D. w. Trammell took a
hasty shot at Tom Fuller, the
bullet only inficting a flesh
wound. TrammeIl, however, did
not tarry after the shooting to
ascertain the result of his mark
manship, but mounted a horse
and fled to the hills south of
town. The officers started in
pursuit, but have so far been un-
able to locate him.
Tuesday afternoon Alice WaIds
was arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Sampson on a charge
or assault with intent to do great
bodily harm. From the testl-
mony it appears the woman en-
tered Chinese restaurant along
IN the small hours Of the morn
ing. and not being satisfied with
the service she was getting pro-
ceeded to carve up the young
Chlnaman with a butcher knife,
lnfiicting a few wounds on his
arm. She drew a fine of $50.
Monday afternoon Cruz Gu
tierrez and Jose Flores were ar
rested charged with being drunk
and disorderly, the former
drawing a fine of $25 and the
latter $40. Wednesday the same
parties were re-arrested charged
with 'an assault with a deadly
weapon, and at the preliminary
hearing Gutierrez was bound
over to the superior court under
a bond of $500, and Flores was
discharged, the testimony show
ing he was not an active partici-
pant, although present at the
time.

Liberty Bond Holders.

A recent issue of the Phoenix
Gazette recites that a Phoenix
youngster, two and a half years
old, is the youngest holder of a
liberty bond in the state. We
do not want to rob the capital
city of any credit for the work
done for the bonds, but in Win
slow we have William Andrew
Coble, a capitalist six months
old, who is the owner in his own
right of $1,000 of liberty bonds,
and then there is Frank Melville
Cornelius, III, who is sixteen
months old, another fnancier,
who has invested $3.50 in the
bonds just to have a chance to
play with the scissors clipping
coupons.

Breaks an Arm.

A few weeks ago Supervisor
Cresswell lariated a new Ford,
and since then has been trying
to train it for a household pet.
He apparently was getting along
famously until Tuesday after
noon, when in attempting to
crank it the blamed thing kicked
back, breaking both bones just
above his right wrist. He is
now in splints, and meditating
on whether to turnthe Ford back
on the range or give it away.

Recruit First Arizona.

If the state of Arizona expects
to have a regiment identified as
a state unit in the war it will be
necessary to recruit the First Ar
iona to full war strength by the
9Th day of August. The young
men of the state who are SUBJ
ject to the selective draft should
volunteer promptly for service
in the state regiment, instead of
waiting for the draft and then
be assigned to duty in any regi-
ment of the regular army the
authorities may designate. The
people left at home will always
have a vital interest in the First
Arizona, wherever it may be call
ed for service, and there will be
a satisfaction in knowing our
boys are all in one regiment.
To have them enlist and be scat
tered all through the regular
army makes it almost impossible
to keep in touch with them, and
they lose the watchful care of
the state and her citizens who
have a vital interest in their well
fare and comfort. Navajo coun-
ty should furnish at least 100
men for this regiment during the
next two weeks.
The Winslow mail., 1917-06-29
Last Chance.

We have a telegram from Capt.
LeBaron from Prescott stating
that state recruiting for the First
Arizona Regiment closes Satur-
day, June Both, and after that
date the conscription under the
federal law begins. Any young
man subject to the draft who
expects to join the First Arizona
will have to be signed up before
that date. Enlistment blanks
can be secured at this office.

Winslow-Long Valley Road.

The Forest Service is evident
ly preparing to begin active work
on the WinsIoW-Long Valley road
at an early date, with the idea of
getting it completed during the
summer. Bids have been asked
from our transfer men by the
department for freighting during
the next three months from July
1st. The completion of this road
means much to Winslow, as it
will open all the south country

Mexican Hoodlums.

Within the last few months
there has been an influx of a
gang of Mexicans to Winslow,
who think in this country they
have the privilege of practicing
the outlawry of Mexico on the
families of our decent law-abid-
ing Mexican families whenever
they get few drinks of rot-gut
whiskey in their systems. Three
of these outlaws of Mexico, Cruz
Gutierrez and Jose Flores, and
one other unknown, filled with
whiskey, disturbed the peace and
quiet of the home of Mr.. Victor
Flores one night last week, break
ing in the door and threatening
physical violence. While they
have been arrested and fined for
violating the law, that is not all
sufficient. We have enough
thugs and outlaws in the United
States who are natives, but there
is no excuse for society to tolerate
the presence of these Mexican
outlaws who have left their own
country from fear of just retri-
button, and allow them to disturb
the peace and quiet of our good
Mexican families. Men of that
kind should be ordered to leave
town on short notice, or turned
over to the federal authorities to
be sent back to Mexico where
they properly belong. They are
of no benefit to any community,
and certainly in Winslow we
have no place for that class of
cattle.

Cheap Politics.

The rankest display of cheap
demagoglc politics that has come
to our notice for many a day was
the refusal of the attorney gener-
al, Wiley E. Jones, to appear in
court as the legal representative
of the state in behalf of Secre-
tary of State Osborn, who had
been enjoined from making an
order to put the woman's mini
mum wage bill on the referen-
dunn ballot. The injunction was
filed by representatives of or
ganized labor, and it was fear of
mourning the displeasure of the
labor organization that prompted
Jones refusal to discharge his
sworn duty. Such a trucking
coWardly spirit on the part of a
public official only incites the
contempt of the labor organiza-
ton, with whom he thinks he is
currying great favor by violating
his plain oath of Office.
The WinslOW Mail has always
been a staunch advocate of min
imum wage for women, and only
a few weeks ago expressed it's
opinion on the character of the
men who have been circulating
referendum petitions against the
present law, and we would be
pleased exceedingly to know that
the efforts of those men were
unavailing, but in this country
where we have courts to settle
mooted questions all good citi-
zens are willing to abide by their
decisions. The law plainly states
that the duty of the attorney
general is to defend state officials
in all matters pertaining to the
official acts of their offices, and
Mr.. Jones coWardly act marks
him as a cheap politician instead
of a faithful public servant, who
is willing to sacrifice the interest
Of the state any time his official
duties interfere with his political
ambitions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Patrick, of
Stroud, Oklahoma, spent the day
in WinsloW Monday as guests at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Harvey White. Mrs. Patrick is
a sister of Mrs. White. Mr..

banker in his home town, has
acquired interests in the south
ern part of Arizona, and expects
ultimately to make this state his
future home.

Back to the Woodpile.

The government forest service
is urging on people the necessity
of using wood from the forest
reserve as a precautionary meas
ure against coal shortage this
winter. Facilities will be fur
nished to those who desire to re-
move timber from the forest re-
serves for use as fuel. This is a
good move, but will the govern
ment furnish man to saw and
split the wood. We served our
time with the buck saw and axe
back in Indiana many years ago,
and still retain lively recollections
of our grief and troubles.

woe against the officers. He was
arrested charged with being
drunk, but was discharged, as
Sudge Sampson said he was
hardly drunk, but had been drink

the odor. Brown thinks the gov
ernment will take up his troubles
and make it lively for our local
officers, but the chances are if
the government does any investi-
