TOWN TEAM IN
 A STINGY MOOD

The Town team was in a stingy mood Sunday and gave the browns a measly score of 2 compared to 22 that they grab bed for themselves.
 There were some star plays pulled off and altogether the Town team shows considerable class, now. The boys slam the ball right and left when they get up to bat and their fielding is showing up better each Sun day. If they handle the out-of- town teams as they did the Browns last Sunday, there will be little to worry them. King man cancelled a game with San Berdoo in order to play here Sunday.

 E GASOLINE. TONIC

James Kennedy. has received large shipment. of gasoline Tonic. This will be<of interest to all auto owners>as it.is esti- mated that the use of this chemical reduces fuel cost 25 to 50 per cent. It dissolves car bon in the cylinders and valves thus cutting cost of repairs on engine, and it produces more gas than is ordinarily extracted from fuel oils and gives more power to the engine.

]. M. DENNIS CALLED

MT. J. M. Dennis died here last Sunday afternoon at about 3:30 o'clock.
 MT. Dennis had been ill for the last few years and has fail ed rapidly within the past three months. A trip to Flagstaff at the first of the month resulted in a severe attack of uremia and MT. Dennis had since been critically ill.
 Coming here when the lum- Der busiBess was in it's infancy MT. Dennis was veryaprominent in developing this section. He built a saw mill down near the Perkins ranch in 1895, thus op- ening up the way for extensive work in that valley. Later he built a second mill out in the Sit Greaves Mountains and fin- ally moved his mill to Maine where he operated it for about eighteen years, very profitably In this time he won the respect of all who became acquainted with him and gained the repu- tation of being a friend of the working, man. He gave many a poor man 3 chance to better his condition and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his passing.
 MT. Dennis leaves a daugh- ter, Mrs. c. D. Jeffries, and a niece, Mrs. E. c. Mills, of Flag staff.
 MT. Dennis was Fl years of age and spent much of his time with his daughter here, tho he had a ,horhe in Phoenix and spent several months each win ter, tbare-=@- .
 The funeral took place at the home of pr. and Mrs. c. D. Jeffries, Tuesday morning, Reverend Traggit of the Epis- ,eopal church coming down from Flagstaff to- conduct the services. Interment was made in the local cemetery.

BALL TEAM ORGANIZED

The local ball teams held a business meeting at Johnson & McConkey's store last Thurs day night. A number were present and officers were elect ed for the season. Ed. Johnson yves elected manager of the team and J. H. Peddock Cap tain and Harry Wilson Secre- tary-Treasurer.
 Plans for a series of games and ways and means for fi- nances were discussed.
 Kingman will send their crack team here for a game Sunday. This is the team that made such a good record last year, defeating every team on the Santa Fe line. The Will Hams team has put in some hardwork practising lately and hope to show up their metal and win the game. The ball grounds are in fine condition since the rains have laid the dust and barring exceptional weather before Sunday, will allow speedy play.
 Mesa will play here Sunday August 5th. Mesa holds the State blue ribbon and may show the local fans what ball is, but they can rest assured that they will not walk off with the game unless they work lard and have the goods. They will blame the altitude anyhow so give them all that's coming Williams.

JOHN BENNES KILLED
 BY TRAIN SATURDAY

John Bennes was run over and killed instantly by the en- zine of an extra freight train, at the railroad crossing at Sec ond Street, at three o'clock Sat urday afternoon.
 Bennes was a stranger in Williams having come here re- gently from his home in Mis- souri. He was known to but one person in town, Rollie Reese, who as a boy knew Rennes in Missouri. Bennes was working on a farm at that time.
 Arriving here dead broke John Bennes applied to several people for help. Finally Dr. Melick was able to get him a job at the lumber camps and it was while waiting for a train for the camps that Benues met death. He had been talking to the crossing master for a few minutes and started to cross tracks to talk to two men who were standing near the crossing masters little house. One train pulled out or the far track and Bennes may have been watch. ing it tho he appeared to be ab- stracted and probably did not notice it. Neither did he notice the engine of the freight train which was backing up on the old freight track which runs in front of the little house used by the crossing master. The fire pan was on top of the tender and saw the man about. three feet from the train and:aseEi- dently too absorbed to notice his danger, he continued-acress the track in the path of the en- zine. The fireman signalled a. once to the engineer and the en- zine was stopped as quickly as possible but not before Bennes was struck. As he was hit he turned in surprise and the next instant was thrown on his back and the wheels passed over him completely severing the. body below the shoulders.
 The train crew was arrested but was completely exonerateo at the coroners inquest.
 Bennes had been cheated out of his entire small fortune con sisting of mining property jus shortly before coming to Ariz ona and his room mate here stated that he had been quite morose lately. It is presumed that his mind became dulleC thru worry over his financia condition as he had but thirty five cents in his possession a the time of the accident.
 The funeral took place Tues day and the remains laid at res in the local cemetery.
 John Bennes was an elderl. man between sixty and sevent. years of age.-

GThat Was Quick Funeral Thns
 Corn Had With sGets-lt"

"See-all you have to do is to use your two fingers and lift the corn right off. That's the way 'Gets-lt always works. You just put on about ? drops. Then the corn not only shrivels, but loosens from the toe. without affecting the surrounding flesh in the least. Why. it's almost a pleasure to have corns and see how 'Gets-It' gets them off in hurry and without the least pain. can wear tight shoes. dance and walk as though I never had corns."
 "Gets-It" makes the use of toe-ir- ritating salves. bundling bandages, tape. plasters and other things not only foolish but unnecessary. Use this wonderful discovery, "Gets-itf for any soft or hard corn or callus. It is the new simple. easy. quick way. and it never fails. You'll never have to cut a corn again with knives or scissors, and run chances of blood poison. Try "Gets-It' tonight
 "Gets-It" is sold everywhere. 25c a bottle, or sent on receipt of price by F. Lawrence S Co. Chicago. III.
 Sold in Bisbee and recommended as the worlds best corn remedy by Phelps Dodge Mercantile company.
