PRIVATE IRVING
UNVEILS HAyDEN'S
FLAG Of HONOR

HAYDEN, Oct. 4-On Wednesday
a large audience gathered at the Ten
mis- court to greet the Liberty Loan
speakers who were TO address the peo-
pie of Hayden. The band was again
organized and rendered several selec-
tions, after which Mr.. w. T. Mac
Donald introduced Leonard Irvine of
the A. e. F., invalided home and now
making a tour of the state in the in
terest of the Liberty loan. He told
of his experiences in the army and
showed how the boys "over there"
were supported by our loyal and lib
eral subscription to .his loan.
Corporal Ernest Van De Word, an
American boy who has served with
the Canadian forces for the past four
years, was the next speaker. He spoke
of the vast difference in the army now
and when the war began, laying en-
phasis on the fact that guns and am
munition were had only as we buy
them and send to the boys at the
front. He also spoke of the differ
ence between fighting the Hun bare
handed and properly equipped.
Following Corporal Van De Words
address, Thomas E. Campbell was in
troduced and made a splendid address
on the Liberty Loan from the stand

nature of a celebration than an appeal.

the top. The Honor Flag was pre-
sented and unfurled by Mr. Irvine. At
present the flag is adorned with a
single star, but the people expect to
add another before October 10.

LINEN SHOWER FOR
MISS GRACE EBERLY

In anticipation of the coming mar
riage of Miss Grace Eberly, number
of friends gathered at the home of
Mrs. Paul Whitehead on the American
townsite, to make merry at linen
shower which proved complete sur
prise to the bride-to-be. At an ap-
pointed time all proceeded to the din
ing room, where the honor guest
opened her many packages, the con-
tents of which We're admired by all.
The evening was spent in cards and
knitting, after which dainty refresh
rnents were served. Mrs. O'Malley
and Miss Dougherty assisted with re-
freshments. At the wee sma' hours"
we bade our charming hostess good
night and to Miss Eberly the following
sentiment:
Here's health to you and wealth to
you,
May fortune still be kind to you,
And happiness be true to you,
And life be long and good to you"

SIX X-YEAR-OLD GIRL
FALLS FROM STAGE:
INSTANTLY KILLED

HAYDEN, Oct. 4.-The Mexican
stage operating between Tucson and
Hayden figured in a tragedy on Sat
urday afternoon while running be-
tween Winkelman and Hayden on the
concrete road. In some manner the
door OF the car came open and Elicia
Rabago, six years of age, fell from the
car onto the pavement, killing her in
stantly. The driver did not know he
had lost his passenger until he had
driven some distance. Another car
approaching found the body 1t was
taken to the hospital in Hayden. but
nothing could be done since the child
was already dead.
The driver of the stage, Apolino
Rosas, was placed under arrest pend
ing the verdict of the coroner's iury.
which was given out after the inouest
on Monday Rosas was entirely exon
Grated by the jury when he appeared
before them on Monday. In fact. even
the father of the child expressed the
opinion that the driver was in no way
to blame for the unfortunate accident.
A. P. Guest, M. W. Clark, Y. F. Dent.
P. H. Mcintyre, G W. Pierce and C. c..
Green acted as jurymen.

RAY RAISES QUOTA FOR ALL PINA[
COUNTY; SPLENDID TEAM WORK PUTS
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN OVER TOP HERE

after the beginning of the drive.
Especial mention should be made
of the work of the Womens Liberty
Loan committee of Ray and Sonora,
also of the work of our future citi-
,zens-the Boy Scouts.
Although the Hercules mill in Bel
gravia is not in any way connected
with the loan subscriptions in Ray,
word has just been received that
within a few hours after the drive
started they went over the top" and
are still going strong. Captain Bret
Thomas is so busy writing subscrip-
tions at the Ray Hercules mine that
he has not found time to report any
thing yet, and we all know Captain
Thomas. Nuff sed!
1--WE have only one objective" said
Mr. More in an Interview. "Pinal
countys quota must be raised right
here in Ray. 1t goes without saying
that unless Secretary McAdoo raises
the ante, this objectife is all but ac-
complished.'
The honor rolls sent out by the gov
ernment, showing minimum of Is
per cent subscribed of all men in any
department, were practically useless.
Before time could be found to stick
them up, due to the fact that many
departments and organizations were
100 per cent subscribed within few
hours after the drive started.
Especial mention should be made of
l. D. Rickersons telephone depart
ment. iWthin two hours after the
opening of the drive, 100 per cent
honor roll, was earned. This depart
ment was the first to gain the COW
eted honor place.

HAYDEN GOES OVER
THE TOP FIRST DAY
Of DRIVE FOR LOAN
Concentrator City Now Has
Total Of $160,O0O to It's
Credit with More Coming
in; Company Subscrip-
tions Not Included in the
Report.

On the first day of the Liberty
Loan campaign, Hayden went over
the top to the tune of $4,000, the
subscriptions on that day amounting
to $122,000. Since then one $4,000
subscription has been secured, and
enough enough smaller subscriptions
to bring the total up to 100000. The
teams are still at work, hoping to
bring the total for the entire period
up to 100000. This is exclusive of
any subscription the companies may
make, being all individual pledges.
The drive opened with a flourish
when B. l.. Jones started things by
calling at a certain home ito isell
the lady Liberty bond before day
light. She kindly sk'ose from her
slumbers and in due time had signed
up for 500 bond.
Freda Kiser, Elva o. Studley,
George Wilkerson, F. l.. Fay, P.
Thompson, Miss Minnie Brown and
Mrs. G. w. True are the captains of
the teams now competing for the $10O
prize to the team selling the most
Liberty bonds.

BRUTAL MURDER
Of TWO BOYS IS
ADDED TO LIST

Added weight-if any additional
weight is needed, is being piled on
top of the already tremendous heap
of evidence in favor of an overwhelm-
ing vote for the restoration of capital
punishment at the November election.
Coming directly on top of the brutal
killing of Horace Harrison, a mine
watchman at Jerome, and the wound
ing of three officers, came the word
this week of one of the most revolving
crimes in the history of Arizona, the
murder of two boys, both under 1S
years of age, at Black River crossing
on the Fort Apache Indian reserva-
tion in northeastern Gila county The
bodies of the boys were found on
October 2 by Tom Corrigan. They
were lying at the waters edge, where
they had been dragged from the point
where they were killed, some thirty
feet away. There was hole in the
head of one of the boys large enough
to admit mans fist. The head of
the other boy was beaten to a pulp.
The boys had been stripped of their
shoes, leggings, coats and hats. Their
guns and any money they may have
had were also taken.
The two victims were last seen trav.
cling with man of 45 to so years
of age-a heavy set, burly fellow with
dark beard. He and the boys were
first observed travelling toward Globe.
They camped about forty rods from
an Indian construction camp at Black
river. About o'clock in the morning
those at the camp heard a disturb
ance; it seemed to have been the
man driving away in the buggy in
which the three were travelling. Auto
tourists have since reported passing
the man near Pinetop, and word has
been sent to the sheriff of Navajo
county at Holbrook to look out for
him.
The party had stopped at White
River, and one of the boys told the
woman who keeps the store that he
was from Deming, N NJ His father,
he said, had recently been engaged
in government work and had bid on
new job. If his father succeeded
in landing the contract, he hoped to
return to Deming and again secure
employment.
The man with whom the boys were
travelling is said to be named King.
One of the boys apparently went by
the first name of Albert.
AS the murder was committed on
the Indian reservation, the murderer,
if convicted, will probably face the
death penalty, as crimes committed
on Indian reservations are under the
jurisdiction of the government Of the
United States, and not subject to the
fads and fancies that brought about
the abolition of capital punishment in
Arizona.
Is it not fine commentary on the
fair state of Arizona that human life
is only protected by the death penalty
on Indian reservations? In this case

WORK STARTED ON
COMPRESSOR, PLANT

HAYDEN, Oct. Al. A. Carter of
Los Angeles has begun work on the
Compressor plant and reservoir to be
constructed near the old pumping
plant. The building is to be of con-
crete, as is also the reservoir. Other
minor constructions are called for in
the contract awarded him by the Ray
Consolidated.
Clampitt & Moss Of Los Angeles
have already finished one of the ten
wells to be sunk and have begun
on the second. When that work is
completed the old surface wells for
merly used for the industrial water
will be abandoned. The heavy cost
of maintenance on these surface wells
is responsible for the work now in
progress.

WORK PROGRESSING
ON RAY CON OFFICE

Work on the Ray Con- Copper Co.'s
general office building, now being
convict ted into a two-story modern
office building, is rapidly progressing.
The building is to be of brick We
neer, and will be classed as one Of
the handsomest buildings in Ray. The
basement is to be occupied by the
general office, enlarged to take care
of it's growth, the telephone depart
ment and the Western Union Tele-
graph department. The upper floor
will provide accommodations for the
first aid and safety department, the
claims department and executive Of
fices.
1t is planned to make an auditorium
of the First Aid Hall, to be used for
assemblies, meetings, etc.

The new Florence-Casa Grande con-
tract, which amalgamates the entire
valley in one to contract with the
government with reference to the
diversion dam north of Florence, is
now being signed. Eleven thousand
acres have already signed in the Casa
Grande unit. 1t is very important
that every one who expects to sign
send in their contract before October
Is. w. P. Clements of Casa Grande
has charge of the Casa Grande Unit.
1t only costs one cent per acre to join
and it will evidently hasten the time
for the diversion dam for the Casa

The entire quota assigned to Pinal
county for the Fourth Liberty Loan
has been raised by Ray alone. This
important announcement was made
this week. Ray went over the top
the first day, but did not stop there,
and has now filled out Pinal county's
quota.
This should not surprise anyone
familiar with Rays past record. Ray
has always passed the mark assigned
to her. In the Third Liberty Loan
her sales were twenty-three times her
quota.
J. T. Moore, secretary of the Liberty
Loan committee authorized the publi-
cation of the following figures, which
represent Rays sales to the close of
business Tuesday night:

GERMANS LOSE
On EVERY FRONT
BULGARIA OUT

The Germans are losing on every
front and events are moving rapidly
toward Victory.
The great German. defensive system
on the western front, known as the
Hindenbure line, has been shattered
in several places, and it is now be-
lieved that the Germans will be forced
to evacuate Belgium within the next
few months. indications that they
are preparing for this move are not
lacking.
Lens and Armentieres have fallen
to the British and ST. Quentin has
been taken by the French. The Bel
sians, led by their king, are preparing
to occupy RouIers, and all along the
line the allies are smashing the Huns
back.
Bulgaria. Quits
Bulgaria seems now definitely out
of the war, an armistice having been
signed early this week, agreeing un-
conditionally to the allied terms
While it is reported from Berlin that
Germany is sending 250,00o men into
Bulgaria in order to get that country
back into the war, it now appears that
the Bulgarians are determined to have
peace and that they are definitely
out of the struggle.
BuIgaria's detection means that
communication between Germany and
Turkey will be stopped, and that Tur-
key, isolated from Germany, must
soon seek peace. In fact, rumors that
the Turks are making overtures to the
allies have been in circulation all week
but have not been definitely con-
firmed.
The withdrawal of Bulgaria has
caused the Austrians to Withdraw
their troops from Albania, and the
Serbians, Italians, British, French and
Greeks are advancing everywhere on
the Macedonian front. Berat, in SOUTH
ern Albania, and Uskub, in Macedonia,
have been taken.
Austrian Base Destroyed
Durazzo, which with Pola consti-
tuted the Austrian naval bases on the
Adriatic sea, has been destroyed by
suadron of allied Warships, amono
which were a number of American
submarines. All the Austrian ships
in Durazzo were blown up.
War Not Over Yet
The German army, however, has not
yet been destroyed. People who are
holding back from buying Liberty
Bonds with the idea that the war is
nearly over, should remember this
fact and that every possible ounce of
energy that can be exerted must be
placed in the field against the Huns.
There was never more auspcious
or logical time to buy bonds, for an
overwhelming subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will enable the
American army and the allies to take
advantage of the present favorable
situation and end the war before Ger
many is able to add to her forces by
drawing on the great man power of
Russia.
