with the souls of men. In that
sacred intimacy he was father, friend,

The people of our community
were again saddened when it became
known that George Gopher had lost
in his gallant battle with the Grim
Reaper. The end came Wednesday
morning, October Q, 1918, after an
illness lasting many months. George
never gave mp in despair. he was
always hopeful that sunshine would
follow the darkest hours. As the
days wore on, and the realization
dawned that he soon would have to
cross the River, he begged his loved
ones not to worry about him, as he
would be safe on the other Shore.
George Gopher was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John R. Gopher, and was
born in Bath County, KY, twenty
four years ago. George was pos
sessed with a sunny disposition.
being one of the most popular boys
ever reared in this vicinity when
illness forced him to give up the ac-
tivities of life, he was sadly missed
by his associates. Many years ago
he became a member of the old
Springfield Church, and as the Death
Angel lowered nearer, the firmer was
his belief in Christ.

More Than Her Share.

Mrs. R. H. Tuttle has been
given more than her fair share
of attention from burglars during
the past two months. About six
weeks ago she was called to her
old home in Michigan by news
that the old family home, that
has been closed for some time,
had been sacked by burglars.
She put in a couple of weeks
there, and by aid of the officers
finally located the parties who
were Systematically robbing the
place of all the furnishings to fit
up their own home. Most of the
stolen property was recovered.
Mrs. Tuttle had just returned
from Michigan when the home
here was robbed last Saturday
evening.

The War Savings Stamps.

The people of Navajo county
are sadly falling down on the
purchase of war savings stamps
which is not at all creditable to
the patriotism of our citizenship.
On the basis of populatio n
NaVajo's share of stamps that
should be bought is $267, $50, and
up to date less than $4,000 worth
have been taken. These war GER
tificates are just as good an in
vestment as the Liberty Bonds,
and the purpose of the govern
ment in putting the stamps on
the market was to interest the
little investor to put his money
into these baby bonds to help the
nation finance the war. Other
counties in the state have taken
hold of the matter with zeal, and
are pushing the sales to have
every inhabitant on the roll of
honor as a holder of one or more
of these war certificates.

A Persistent Burglar.

The hobo, giving the name of
Smith, who was arrested about
ten days ago charged with burg
larizing the home of Mr.. Rich
ardson in this city, broke Jail at
Holbrook last Friday night,
reached Winslow and burglar
lied the home of Supt. Tuttle
Saturday evening while the
family were out in their car.
When the Tuttles returned to
their home the house gave abund-
ant evidence of having been
thoroughly ransacked. the arti-
cles missing being some jew
elry and a watch belonging to
Mrs. Tuttle, and the wardrobe
of Mr.. Tuttle was sadly depleted
of such articles of wearing ap-
parel that fitted out the burglar
from shoes to hat. The officers
were Immediately called in and a
few hours later the offender was
caught on freight train a fe "
miles west of town. He was
wearing the clothes and had the
jeWelry and watch in his possess
sion. He is again in the Hol-
brook Jail, and this time he will
probably stay until he goes to
prison.

Night Riders at Clarksdale.

A few nights ago dozen
masked men entered the+room of
George II. Burkhardt, of Clarks-
dale, dragged him from his bed
and took him outside the city
limits, where he was hogged
with wet ropes. After the chas-
tizement he was notified that he
had better leave the city never
to return. Burkhardt was in
formed that the punishment was
inflicted because he had uttered
statements that were considered
seditious. Instead of leaving,
the man returned to his room
where he is now confined because
Of his injuries, and has given out
a statement that he is an Ameri-
can born citizen, loyal to this
country. and has never made Sc
ditious remarks. A few days
prior to the above incident the
United States marshal visited
Burkhardt to investigate reports
about him, and at the time
warned him to be more temper
ate in his statements when dis
cussing the war. The marshal
branded him simply a wild So
cialist.

To Be Given a Hearing.

At the urgent request of the
friends of DR.. Blome, of the
Flagstaff normal, the normal
board have granted a request for
a hearing, but just what is ex-
pected to be accomplished it is
hard to understand. 1t has not
been charged by the board that
DR.. Blome was removed for dis
loyalty nor incompetency. be-
cause if that bad been the reason
the gentleman would probably
nave been removed instanter as
soon as the matter had been in
CURED into; but the board wanted
a change in the head of the
school for next year, believing.
no doubt, that the injection of
new blood into the institution
would prove beneficial. DR..
Blome has been at the head of
the school for nine years and
neither he, nor his friends, have
any just cause for complaint if
he is succeeded next year by a
new man. The presidency of
the normal school is not a civil
service appointment, nor a life
job, but he holds his office only
during the pleasure of the direct
ing body.
AS we said last week, DR..
Blome may be most excellent
officer of that institution, and
may have made a brilliant sue
cess of the school during his ad-
mlnistration, but if he is not in
harmony with the sentiments and
policies of the board it is natural
to expect he would be removed
at the end of his year, and even
though he is given the hearing
he demands the board will not
revoke the action taken in the
selection of a new man for the
presidency of the school. No
institution of learning is depend
ent on any one man for it's
growth and success, and the
Flagstaff normal will prosper
just as we'll in the future under
a new administration as it has in
the past with DR.. Blome, and
it may even show wonderful
Improvement.

Hl-gotten Wealth.

The Florence-B Blade Tribune, of
last week, relates that G. j.
Fades, the Wells Fargo agent at
the mining town Of Sasco, in the
southwest part of Pinal county,
disappeared early last week
shortly after receipting for the
shipment of $11, 900, the payroll
of the American Smelling and
Refining Company, which had
been turned over to him by spe-
cial messenger O. S. Hicks who
was in charge of the money from
Tucson to Sasco. $4,000 was in
paper money and $1,000 was in
silver.
Fades, who is a young man,
disappeared from Sasco about 6
O'Clock Monday evening, but no
report of the payroll theft was
made until Tuesday afternoon.
Fades receipted for the money
and it was supposed to be in the
safe of the express company
until his disappearance caused an
investigation to be made. 1t was
then found that not only the pay
roll for the smelter, but all the
other money in the safe had
been taken. The exact amount
has not yet been ascertained.

The attorney general has hand
ed down his opinion that the
compulsory vaccination law in
this state is constitutional and
can be enforced by the local
boards of health. The enforce
ment of the law will at least in
crease the incomes Of practicing
physicians, even il it accomplish
es nothing else. The state medi-
cal board ought to organize the
next legislature and have a bill
passed to shoot all the different
serums into civilians the same as
the army surgeons are shooting
into the soldiers. 1t would help
business amazingly, and it might
also add to the incomes of the
undertakers.
