Home for Christmas.

Winslow had the pleasure of a
s hort visit with several of her
soldier boys who are in the train
ing camp at Linda Vista. The
boys who were here were Marine
Drumm, Walter Brayman, Leon
ard Fenton. Carl Behu, jr., Jess
Smith, and Jot Stiles, the latter
being accompanied by his wife,
formerly Miss Margery Boles.
The boys all look fine and husky,
and they seem to think they will
soon be in France.
In addition to the soldier boys,
we have with us for the holidays
E. A. Henderson and Bud Fri
day, who are enlisted in the navy,
and at present are stationed at
Mare Island.

Go to Nogales.

Rev. and Mrs. w. ]. Gordon
leave here Monday for their new
home at Nogales, this state,
where Mr.. Gordon will assume
the pastorate of the Baptist
church in that city. The citizens
of Winslow regret exceedingly
to see these most estimable peo-
pie leave our city. During their
brief residence of a little more
than a year they have both en-
tered actively into every move
ment having for it's purpose the
betterment of the community in
terests, and have won hosts of
friends both in and out of the
church.

Gov. Hunts Appointees.

Gov. Hunt announced imme-
diately after the decision of the
supreme court was handed down,
that he would reinstate all the
former appointees under his
administration so far as possible,
which was a sad blow to a lot of
democrats who thought they saw
a chance to get a plum in the
event that Gov. Hunt was given
the office. Already the governor
has named a number of men for
the more important positions of
the state, and by the first of the
year he hopes to have all the
appointments completed, and
start the year with a full working
force. The republican officials
all rendered their designations to
Gov. Campbell Immediately after
the court decision was rendered.

Pinal County Murder.

Ed. Shipp, deputy sheriff of
Pinal county and town marshal
in Superior, shot and killed Ern-
est Lancaster, also deputy
sheriff and the night marshal of
the city, the crime being COM
mitted on Christmas eve. No one
seems to know what prompted
the shooting, further than that
bad blood had existed between
the two men for some time.
Both were present at a dance
that evening, and about mid
night they were seen to leave
the building together, and they
walked about a hundred yards
when they stopped and appeared
to be engaged in an argument.
In a few moments Shipp pulled a
gun and emptied six shots into
the body of Lancaster, killing
him instantly.

Not a Stingy Christmas.

Notwithstanding all the agita-
tion of a conservative Christmas
there was no evidence in Winslow
that any one needed the advice,
in fact judging by the business
done by our local merchants,
and a glance observation at the
receipt of packages, parcels and
letters handled in. the postoffice,
it is altogether probable that
Christmas buying was greater
than ever this year. The large
increase in postal work is prob
ably due to the fact that every
body was remembering some one
or more of the soldier boys who
have gone away, and the differ
ent societies and organizations
were also sending out packages
for the boys. 1t was a great
Christmas, and the people were
happy in doing their good work
Of distributing remembrances.

Manganese Mine.

According to the Northern Ar
lzona Leader a manganese bed
has been located in Long Valley
and the development of the prop
erty has already been started
under the direction of ]. L. Nc
lver and w. K. Ridenour, prom
lnent mining men of Mohave
county. These gentlemen claim
that the ore deposit is of high
grade and will assay so per cent.
According to present arrange
ments the ore from the mine is
to be freighted to Winslow for
shipment, as this is the nearest
available railroad point. Per-
haps if the hopes of these gen.
tlemen in the richness of their
find are fully realized, in a few
years Winslow will become a fac
tor in the mining world.
There are even greater posi-
bilities to brighten the dream of
the years. There are large fields
of iron ore in this section of the
state, and coal deposits of un-
told wealth, and now with man.
ganese, an important element in
the production of steel. being so
conviently available, perhaps the
day will come when Winslow
will be the Pittsburg of the west
and the steel trust will be d.
recting our destinies. 1t is just
as easy, and far more pleasant,
to dream of a rosy future for our
fair little city as it is to nurse a
crouch and be pessimistic.

An convict from the New
Mexico penitentiary named Cor
bin was apprehended at Williams
and. put in Jail at Flagstaff,
when he attempted to work a
confidence game on one of the
merchants in that town. He had
telephoned the store that he was
Mr.. R. A. Nickerson, at the saw
mill, and that he was sending a
man over to the store for some
clothing, and in a few minutes
he appeared and wanted to get
the stuff. He would have made
a safe haul had he been satisfied
with the clothing, but when he
asked the proprietor to advance
him some money there came a
suspicion that all was not right,
and the proprietor called up Mr..
Nickerson for confirmation. The
man did not wait for results nor
stay on the order of his going,
but went. The officers picked
him up few hours later when
he was hitting the trail for Ash
fork. He is now in Jail medi-
tating.
