Fined for Speeding.

Officer Gardner arrested two
young men last Monday after
noon for racing their automo-
biles on Second avenue. When
taken before Judge Sampson
they pleaded guilty to the Of
fense and each paid a fine of S..
Speeding autos in the streets
has been a popular diversion for
some time, especially on Second
avenue, and now that the first
arrest has been made let us hope
the good work will continue un-
til the practice is stopped. The
ordinance as it now stands makes
it a misdemeanor to run car
faster than ten miles an hour on
the streets of Winslow, and it is
being violated every day.

Vicious Buns.

Last Friday night Conductor
r. B. Eastman in charge of No.
Fl discovered two hobos on the
train when nearing Carrizo, a
small station a few miles east of
Holbrook. He stopped and put
them off, and as the train start
ed they fired several shots at Mr..
Eastman, who was standing in
the vestibule, but fortunately
their aim was bad. A few
minutes later when No. 10 came
along they found the switch set,
and the switch light in the mid
die of the track. While fixing
the switch the crew were fired
upon from the darkness, the
bullet passing through the win
dow of one of the coaches. Of
fcers are in that section now
trying to locate the criminals,
but up to this time both men are
still at large. We believe in law
and order, but if these two men
are Iynched when found we will
always think they got their just
deserts

Rabbits Invest Their Money.

The well-known firm of Bah
bitt Bros. who have made their
money in Arizona, are manifest
ing their faith in the state by
investing their money in real
estate and building improve
ments at different points. 1t has
just leaked out that the myterious
syndicate who recently purchas-
ed the block of school land in
Phoenix for c sum exceeding
5000, 600 is none other than the
Rabbits. So far they have not
divulged to what purpose they
intend to use the property, but
with that amount of money tied
up in real estate they no doubt
have plans to improve it for in
come purposes.
Recently the government en-
tered into a ten-year contract
with this same firm for a
new postoffice building, IN their
home town of Flagstaff, and the
original plans for the building
have now been changed to en-
brace a four-story structure that
will house the post-ofice, a new
theatre, and hotel of sixty-fve
rooms, suites of private offices,
and a couple of store rooms.
Such a building will be valuable
asset to Flagstaff as it will have
the effect of stimulating other
property owners to make sub
stantial Improvements on their
holdings.

Found the Wrong Place.

Last week a boot-legger came
to town with a suit case full of
whiskey, and engaged a room at
the Palace Hotel, evidently in
tending to use the place as his
headquarters. H e asked per-
mission to put his suit case in
the linen closet, which was grant
ed, and it proved his undoing.
A few minutes later Miss Foster,
the landlady, had occasion to go
to the linen closet, and in at
tempting to move the suit case
found it was too heavy, which
excited her suspicion. Calling
her sister they opened the case
and found it filled with bottles.
About that time the owner re-
turned to claim his property,
but they refused to surrender it,
which gave him his cue to skip
out Of town. Judge Sapp was
appealed to and he issued an
order to destroy the stuff, which
was most effectually done Sat-
urday afternoon.
