Mere "talk" about bargain oppor-

not impress a woman. The talk
must be definite, giving details on
which she may base conclusions.
To fail to fully "make good" on
every advertised offering would
mean DESTRUCTIVE advertising

DISTRESSING FATAL ACCIDENT

The saddest fatal accident ever re- corded in the history of Winslow oc- cured last Saturday at noon, when Virginia Shindel, the ten-year-old daughter of E. F. Shindels manager of the Navajo Ice & Cold Storage Co.,, fell into the settling basin at the plant and was drowned, no one witnessing the accident, as the employees were all inside the building at lunch. Mrs. Shindel went out to call her little daughter to lunch, and not seeing her in sight had motherly premonition of some accident and hastened to call the men and apprise them of her fears. Mir. Shindel was in the city, and reached home just as the men commenced to drag the pond, and a few minutes after the body was re- covered. Medical aid was summoned at once and for two hours the doc tors exerted all their skill in an ef- fort to resusticate life but without avail. The body was taken to Tue son for burial Sunday evening, that place being the former home of Mrs. Shindcl.--Winslow Mail.

RANGE AND MARKET NEWS.
WITH HALF MILLION CHAS.
 HOOKER HAS QUIT BUSINESS

Charles Hooker, of Prescott, for many years a prominent. cattleman of Yavapai county, was in Phoenix Sun day on a brief visit for the transac- tion of business and to call upon his many friends.
 Mir. Hooker recently sold his home ranch, together with the cattle on Ash creek, thirty miles east of Prescott, to William Wingfield, of Verde Val ley, for S135,000. About eight months ago Mir. Hoooker also disposed of his mining interests in the vicinity of Je- rome for $225,000. Associated with him in these claims was Charles Ew- ing, of Jerome.
 Charles Hooker is now practically out of business. His friends say that he is seriously considering the invest ment of about a quarter of million dollars in Liberty bonds as an evil dence of his patriotism.
 Charles Hooker is now worth half million, made in the cattle and mining business. A few years ago he was worth comparatively little. He was the owner of saloon at Jerome, and in order to get away from the liquor business he traded his Jerome prop erty for small bunch of cattle. His many friends predicted that he would go broke in that business. Instead of going into bankruptcy, however, he kept buying cattle and enlarging his outfit, until he "double-shot the turn" and came out with half million. At one time Hooker owned 5000 head of cattle.--Arizona Republican.

THE WINSLOW BRIDGE.

Supervisors Owens and Freeman, of Snowflake, were in the city last Mon day, and with Supervisor Creswell, held conference with MT. L. J. Mesmer, a member of the firm of Mesmer & Rice, who hold the con- tract for constructing the Winslow bridge across the Little Colorado river. They have been dragging the work along for nearly year, and all there is to show for bridge is a couple of concrete piers in the river, and now they have held up the work in an effort to force the supervisors to pay them about $17,000 for extra work.
 The contract price for the complet- ed bridge is $23,SO0, and just how the contractors figure they are entitled to such an amount as claimed for extra work at this time is hard to decipher. It is doubtful if the contractors have expended all told the amount they claim is due them for extra work, un- less they hold that putting in piers for the superstructure comes under that head. In most bridges We have seen and. examined, piers seem to be one of the essential features, but this firm probably takes the view that the piers are extras.-Winslow Mail.

CONVICT CAPTURED

When Sylvester Peralta returned to the penitentiary at Florence last Mon day he took with him Ricardo Cobo, a convict who escaped from the peniten- tiary in 1915. He had been sentenced to term of from 6 to 12 years on the double charge of burglary and shoot ing policeman, and he escaped by knocking guard over the head with pick handle. Under an assumed name he had for the past two years been herding sheep in Coconino coun- ty and doing some bootlegging on the side. It was while engaged in the latter nefarious undertaking that he and couple of companions, one his brother and the other a Mexican by the name of Antonio Gomez, were ar rested by Deputy Sheriff F. V. Bar Der few weeks ago. His two com panions pleaded guilty and were sen fenced, but he was released, having proven to the satisfactioirvf the judge that he was an innocent fellow-trav- eler and not guilty of anything so wicked as bootlegging. After being set at liberty he continued to hang around St. Johns and one day the sheriff's office, through a friendly tip from Coconino county, got wise to the fact that Senor Cobo was none other than the escaped convict for whom officers had been on the look out the past two years.-St. Johns Observer.
