Ada Gray. a most charming
dauhhter Of the Lone Star state.

uIar young men in the Santa Fe

Another Fatal Accident.

Last Friday morning another
fatal accident on the Santa Fe
cost the lives of two men. A
light engine left here that morn
ing in charge of Engineer ].
Davis, Fireman 7. H. Dickson
and Brakeman G. L. McCray to
go to Seligman for No. 22, and
when passing over the horseshoe
bend between Ashfork and Selig-
man the engine jumped the track,
rolling down the embankment.
Dickson and McCray were in
stantly killed, but Engineer Davis
miraculously escaped.
Mr.. McCray was a new en-
ploye, having been in the service
here only a few months. His
body was sent to his sister at St.
Joe, Mo-, for interment.
The fireman, Mr.. Dickson, has
been a resident of WinsloW and
a company employe for several
years, and he leaves a wife and
a two year-old baby to mourn his
loss. Mrs. Dickson left here
Sunday morning with the body
for her old home at Brookfield,
Mo-, where it will be buried in
the family lot.

More Whisky Confiscated.

Last Saturday evening Deputy
Gardner was notified by Sheriff
Newman to proceed to CheveDon
bridge and hold up a Ford car for
investigation. When near the
place suggested they saw car
approaching, and blocking the
road with their car they stopped
the travellers, and a search re-
vealed about twenty cases of
whisky. A few minutes later
Sheriff Newman drove up in his
car, in which he had been pur-
suing the bootleggers, and took
them back to Holbrook. The
two men arrested have been
bringing whisky into this state
from Gallup for some time, and
suspicion was first attracted to
them one day last week when
they were returning from Pres
colt, and breaking down had to
lay up for day for repairs at
Holbrook. The Sheriff had the
license number, and Saturday af-
ternoon it was reported to him
they had passed through the
town heading for Winslow. The
bootleggers will be turned over
to the federal court for prosecu-
ton, and if they draw a fine of
$1,000 and year in prison for
introducing liquor into the state,
they may conclude to reform.

a blaze that had started in the

pie of hundred dollars.
Mrs. Noble, who has been in
poor health all summer, was so
badly frightened that she faint
ed away, and still is under the
care of her physician.

Sad and Weary Tale.

Somewhere in America" Geo.
Keyes bought a secondhand rae
ing car with six speeds and as
many cylinders, and to add to it's
beauty of lines had it painted a
brilliant red. Last Saturday he
decided on a trip to the noun
tains, and he inveigled his friend
Mr.. Dagg to risk his life and
happiness on a swift cruise as
ballast and mechanician. About
five miles out on the record run
of eight miles an hour several
of the cylinders refused to per-
form their proper functions, and
at uncertain intervals another
cylinder joined the strike. When
about forty miles out the one
faithful cylinder that had been
wheeling automatically gave a
final gasp and died. The shades
of night were drawing fast, and
two weary souls sought surcease
from trouble in sweet repose on
the ground wrapped mostly in
thoughts. Rubbing his eyes ear
ly the next morning Keyes was
righteously indignant to find that
some profane hand had placed a
"for sale" sign on the radiator
of his beloved racer, and receiv-
ed cold comfort from his COM
panion in grief. The morning
hours were spent in futile eff
forts to instill a sign of life into
the motor, and in the afternoon
an IS o S" was waited to Mrs.
Keyes to send out her real auto
mobile, and would she mind
stocking it with some provision
to supply the starving Belgians.
About midnight Keyes and Dagg
slipped into town on a back
street, the former still deter
mined to continue his racing ca
reer, and the latter equally de.
termined to lead a prosaic life
with a Ford.
