Too Light For Navy.

According to the Albuquerque
Journal Glenn Milton Harper, a
Winslow young man made appli-
cation to join the navy, but was
rejected by the recruiting officer
at Albuquerque because he only
weighed 1874 pounds. and was six
feet six inches tall. He was all
right perpendicularly speaking,
but he lacked circumference. He
should make application to join
the signal corps, and they could
use him for a telephone pole.

Brakeman Killed.

Matt Reisch, a brakeman work
ing out of Winslow, was instant
ly killed early Wednesday morn
ing between Hardy and Manila,
when in some manner he fell
from the top of the cars, and had
one leg cut off, the other badly
mangled, and was crushed and
bruised about the head and shoul-
ders. There was a car afire
on the train and Conductor Lane
and Reisch were carrying water
from the engine to pour on the
car so they could hold it until
they reached the water crane at
Manila. On the last trip Mr..
Lane missed Reisch, but thought
he was in the engine cab until
he went forward. They backed
the train a short distance and
came upon the body of the un-
fortunate body. The remains
were brought to the city and
placed in PARIS undertaking
room. where an inquest was
held by Justice Boyer of Hol-
brook. Mr.. Reisch was not
married. but he leaves a father
and mother, whose home is at
Blue Island. Illinois, and the
body was shipped to that place
for interment yesterday.

superior court. This is the
second time Grigsby has been
arrested for having liquor in his

Fireman Injured.

M. C. Phillyaw, a popular
young fireman. running on the
local between here and Gallup,
was seriously injured Tuesday
evening just as the train was
coming into the town. There had
been trouble with 4 loose tire on
the engine all day, and when the
train was approaching the bridge
east of town, Mr.. Phillyaw lean
ed out the cab window to look at
the wheel. After the bridge had
been crossed the brakeman, rid
ing in the cab, noticed the fire.
man slipping from the seat. and
then for the first time 1t was
seen there was an ugly cash
aslant his forehead and he was
unconscious. He was hurried
into town and medical did given,
but it was at once apparent that
an operation would be necessary,
and he was put on the first train
for Albuquerque. 1t is supposed
that when Mr.. Phillyaw looked
out the window he forgot for the
moment he was nearing the
bridge and struck his head on
one of the iron girders. Mr..
Phillyaw is a son-in-law of Mr..
S. F. Allen, of this city.

Mexican Circus.

Escalante Bros. original and
only Mexican circus, is billed to
appear in Winslow tomorrow
night. They carry with them a
band of solo artists of national
reputation, and the musical num-
bers alone is worth the regular
price of admission. They carry
a herd of trained ponies to enter
tain the children, and the circus
throughout is a high grade, clean
performance.
During the performance of the
Escalante circus at Gallup last
Monday evening a small whirl-
wind hit the tent, snapped the
center pole, and whipped the
canvas about the people. For
tunately no one was hurt, and in
few hours everything was restor-
ed in perfect condition.
A very faint echo of the Hunt
Campbell contest appeal comes
from Phoenix in the report that
the attorneys for Mr.. Campbell
have filed their objections to the
transcript as filled by the attor-
neys for Mr.. Hunt. The objec-
tions are numerous and varied,
and it will probably take the court
and the attorneys several months
to get Strengthened away to a
final hearing. About all the at
torneys hope for in the appeal is
a possibility of getting the costs
retaxed to their liking, as under
the ruling in the lower court the
costs were practically all taxed
to Mr.. Hunt. But why worry.
There will come along a legisla-
ture in few years and they will
pass an enabling act-one that
will enable the state to pay all
the costs and relieve the numer-
Gus democratic officials who have
been called upon to finance the
contest, in an effort to hold their
jobs as state employees.

Mobilizing Begins Tuesday.

Inc SelectlVe draft army will
begin mobilizing next Tuesday,
Sept. 4th, according to the latest
information from the war de-
partment officials. Under the
new arrangement the local boards
will notify 5 per cent of the
drafted men to present them
selves at the county seat on or
before that date ready to en-
train for Fort Sam Houston at
San Antonio, Texas. Under this
ruling only five men from this
county will go on the first call.
Prior to departure the men
will be given railroad and meal
tickets, and the only baggage
allowed each recruit will be ex-
ira underwear, tooth brush, tooth
paste, comb and brush, and extra
nandkerchlefS.
When a man gets on the train
to go to the mobilization camp.
he enters another life. His
civilian associations, his entire
other world, is left behind.
Nothing is now left to his judg-
ment. Everything that he is to
do has been worked out in ad-
vance; he is under orders every
minute.
reports at the camp. There
he is assigned to a tent and told
to take bath and where to take
it. He goes to the showers,
takes his bath, is given some
thing to eat and goes to bed.
That is the end of the first day.
The next morning the real
military life starts. After roll
call and breakfast the man is
brought before army surgeons
for physical examination. If
they confirm the decision of the;
civilian physicians that he is
physically qualified for military
service-as it is expected will be
done in 80 per cent of the cases
he will be given uniform, a rifle
and other equipment and assign
ed to a company.
The men rejected in the army
test will be given tickets and
sent home. Instructions will be
wired to the local boards from
which they were drawn to call
up other men to take their places.
The men chosen will sgo to the
baths that morning in mufty.
They well emerge in khaki. Inl
cases of slight physical deformi-
ty or acknowledgment, which
however, would not bar them
from the army, special exercises
will be prescribed to remedy the
defect. The men will be put
through these exercises under
drill masters and skeleton COM
panies will be formed and put
through light military drill.
"The men will be "broken in"
to the camp life, cleaning up, and
the hundreds of little daily labors
for the soldiers, so that they will
be able to train the new men in
these details when the second
quota arrives.
The next movement will be on
September 19, when 40 per cent
Of each districts quota is called
out.
The third quota of 40 per cent
comes on October 3. The fourth
of Is per cent, completing the
mobilization, will be called for at
a later date.

Arizona Blue Book.

This office acknowledges receipt
of the Blue Book for the state of
Arizona for 1917, compiled by
Sid. Osborn, secretary of state.
1t has lot of information in it
that is valuable and interesting,
and then again it has some in
formation that is not so reliable.
For instance, he has the Snow
flake Herald and the Winslow
Mail listed as democratic papers
and the Holbrook News as a re-
publican paper. Personally we
can freely forgive Sid. the error,
but we can see a CLINT in Bob
Smiths eye, as he sharpens his
snickersee looking for secretary
of state. If the Holbrook News
is a republican paper, then John
Dunbar's Weekly is owned by the
copper mines, and we dodge as
we saw it.
