Sure, He's Crazy.

A clerk in store at Phoenix
was arrested this week for steal
ing goods from his employer. A
search of his room disclosed sew
eral trunks filled with expensive
merchandise, valued at four or
five hundred dollars. When ar
rested the man admitted his guilt
to the police, adding that he did
not known why he did it as he
had $1,000 in the bank. That fell
low can prove in any court that
ne is crazy on the strength of his
admission that he had $1,000 in
the bank. And as little .ad-
vance information to him we will
say that when the lawyers and
courts get through with him he
will not have a cent in the bank.
The principal function of q law
yer is to separate a man from his
money. and even after man is
dead real smooth lawyer is sup
posed to get all the property so
his heirs will have no occasion to
fight over the estate.

Selective Draft.

The word comes from Wash
ington that everything will be in
readiness to commence work on
the selective draft not later than
next week, and it is possible it
may start tomorrow. The gov
ernment machinery is all ready,
but the delay is being caused by
a number of states who have not
yet completed the organization
of their exemption boards. In
Arizona, where this work is in
the hands of a newspaper man,
Col. Fred Breen, of the Coconino
Sun, everything has been in
readiness for some time. He ap-
piled the same energy and ef-
ficiency in getting his reports to
Washington and his boards or
ganized on time, that he displays
in getting his paper TO press on
time, but in some of the other
states a professional politician
was given this duty, and to him
any old time would do for the
work.

Not Agin the Law.

"Old Sleuth," better known
perhaps by the public generally
as Night Marshal Gardner, has
got to take further instructions
in the law before he can qualify
as a real efficiency sleuth. 1t is
not an infringement of the laws
Of the United States for a person
to carry axle grease in a tin can.
even if the aforesaid tin can is
wrapped and sealed with a
foreign label. About ten days ago
Gardner arrested a young Mexi-
can, who had in his possession a
sealed can marked opium, and
as the stranger had just come
from the Mexican border at Ell
Paso it looked very much as
though he had live one in the
tolls. The dope was sent to the
Federal Offices at Phoenix, where
a chemical analysis demonstrated
that it was a poor grade of axle
grease, and the sheriff's office at
Holbrook was notified to turn
Gardner's find loose. Ell. is not
discouraged, however, and every
fellow found carrying axle grease
in a sealed can is going to be ar
rested just as usual, law or no
law, and perhaps in time it will
be established common law at
least to be a criminal offense to
have axle grease on the person.

Brady O'Neill a Suicide.

Eugene Brady O'Neill, of
Phoenix, a prominent character
in the history of Arizona, and
known to nearly every section,
committed suicide in a park at
Los Angeles last Monday after
noon. He left Phoenix last Sun
day for the coast, as he had been
in failing health for some time,
and after establishing his neice
in a cottage-at Santa Monica, re-
turned to Los Angeles, repaired
to the park and ended his life.
His wife was the widow of Buck
O'Neill, and was one of the lady
members of the last legislature.

Exemption Board.

Under the law the exemption
board for the several counties is
made up of the sheriff, county
recorder and the county health
officer. The death of Miss Moss
few days ago created a vacancy,
and the place has been filled by
Gov. Campbell making a recon-
mendation to the war depart
ment of the name of w. A. Fer
guson, of Holbrook.
Personally Mr.. Ferguson may
be eminently qualified for the
place, but in view of the fact
that more than half the county
registration is in Winslow, in all
fairness to the city at least one
representative should have been
a local resident. Miss Moss was
a Winslow girl, and had her life
been spared the city would have
had a valuable representative on
the board, but with her death
the appointment to fill the vacan-
cy should have been made from
Winslow. AS the board is now
constituted the entire member
ship is composed of Holbrook citi-
zens. The action of Gov. Camp
bell in making the Ferguson re-
commentator with out giving
the citizens of WinsloW a hearing
is not meeting with very enthu-
siastic approval.

Registry List.

The complete list Of all those
who registered under the con-
scription law is now posted on the
bulletin board in the postofice.
The purpose of posting the list is
to give the public an opportunity
to see if all eligibles are included,
and round up the slackers if any
there be.

Water Hearing.

Commissioner Belts and a por-
tion of his office force were in
the city last Friday to hear testi-
mony as to the Feasibility and
desirabity of putting water
meters on all consumers. AS is
usual in such cases those who are
using more than a normal amount
of water are opposed to the in
stallation of meters, and set up a
doleful tale of the ruination that
would result to the lawns and
trees, while those who use only
a limited amount of water were
in favor of meters. According
to the figures in possession of the
commission the consumption of
water in the city averages nearly
Is, 900 gallons per tap, and when
it is undestoood that less than
one half the taps are used for
lawns and trees the reckless
waste of water is apparent. The
normal fiat rate for water is
$500 per month, and it is gross
injustice to the small user to be
compelled to pay this price for
few thousand gallons a month
for domestic use, where others
pay the same price and use ten
or twenty times as much.
There should be some equitable
method of giving the people
measured service at price that
they can afford to use it literally
in the maintenance of lawns and
trees, and at the same time be
sufficiently remunerative to the
water company to earn them a
fair return on their investment.
The testimony was taken by
the official stenographer and it
will later be considered by the
three commissioners for a fnal
decision, which will be rendered
some time in the future. In the
meantime there are water con-
sumers who will continue to let
the water run through the garden
hose day and night without any
regard for the rights of other
people or the water company.
In an effort to curb the reckless
waste of water the company does
not maintain any pressure during
a large portion of the day, and
this lack of pressure works an
injustice to the small user who
wants the water for household
purposes, and is unable to get it
on the second floor of his home
or office. If every person had
little regard for the rights of
others, present conditions might
have continued indefinitely, but
if, as it appears, the plan is for
everybody to get all he can so
long as it don't cost any more,
whether he can use it advanta-
geously or not, in all fairness
meters should be installed, and
let every one pay for the service
rendered.

Deputy Game Warden.

State Game Warden Joe Pro-
chaska has appointed T. Met
hammer deputy game warden
and license collector for this sec
tion of Navajo county. He has
also written Mr.. Niethalnmer
asking if he would act as a field
deputy. If you expect to do any
hunting and fishing in this coun-
ty it will be necessary to hold a
few moments preliminary con-
versation with Niethammer be-
fore starting on the trip if you
hope to escape the strong arm of
the law. w. H. Dagg might
just as we'll stay in San Diego be-
cause he will never get a license
to hunt in Arizona under this
new administration.

Building Railroad Again.

For the seventh or eight time
during the past two years the
new railroad from HoIbrook to
Snowflake is again to be built i'm
mediately. The men on the
ground this time are A. B. Nc
Gaffey and Henry B. Cors of
Albuquerque. 1t appears the
only thing lacking at this time is
the money. They have a per-
fectly good franchise, a trunk
full of blue prints of the survey,
and a lot of country in which to
build. but no one seems willing
to put up the coin, a very impor-
tant element in railroad building.
