Miss Fairfield Entertains.

Miss Margaret Fairfield, who is
fast attaining the age of spin
sterhood, celebrated her seventh
birthday last Monday, when she
entertained score of her young
friends at an afternoon affair,
ably assisted by her mother. 1t
was highly enjoyable afternoon
for the little hostess and her
guests, and not the least of the
pleasures was the refreshments
that always appeal to the hearts
and stomachs of the young, as
we'll as the old.

Additional Locals.

A train load of sailor lads
passed through Winslow from
California to the Atlantic coast.
Mrs. Frank Goldsworthy and
children are spending a week at
the Grand Canyon.
Mrs. Bundy and children of
Holbrook are in the city, guests
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
B. Drumm.
The Red Cross canteen service
had a most strenuous initiation
last week, when $500 soldiers
passed through in two days and
had to be fed. The ladies met
the onslaught with courage and
handled the crowd successfully.
Last Friday Sheriff Newman
picked up two bootleggers and
big super-six Hudson car loaded
with 400 pints of whiskey. He
had been watching for the car
for some time, and got word it
was heading west out of Gallup.
He started out to meet it, and
located them about 45 miles east
of Holbrook.
Judge j. F. Mahoney, our local
food administrator, is having
more grief than an Orangeman
at a st. Patrick's celebration.
Just about the time he thinks
everything has been adjusted he
gets instructions to do something
else, and the shoe leather he is
wearing out ought to be a legiti-
mate charge against the war
funds.
News has been received of the
death Of Mrs. Harry Webb, a
former resident of this city,
which occurred a few days ago
in Los Angeles. Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb were Well-known in Win
slow where they made their
home until a few months ago,
when they removed to Flagstaff.
1t was known the deceased had
gone to the hospital for treat
ment, but no thought was en-
tertained that her illness would
prove fatal.

Cutting Deliveries.

AS will be seen by the joint
advertisement of the several
merchants of Winslow in this
issue of the paper, the matter of
making deliveries is now one Of
additional expense to those who
demand that service. A charge
of ten cents will be made on all
deliveries to cover the cost of
maintaining a delivery system.
The delivery system of the re-
taller everywhere has grown to
be a real abuse of business &C
commodation, and it is time those
who demand this service should
pay for it. 1t is no uncommon
thing for a customer to make a
fifteen cent purchase and ask
that it be delivered, and delivery
wagons make two and three trips
in one day to the same home.
The expense of maintaining
delivery system figures out ap-
proXimately one cent a minute
for every hour the store is open,
and if ten minutes is occupied
making a fifteen cent delivery
the profits on the transaction are
gone. The customer who carries
home his purchases has to bear
his portion of the burden for
maintaining a delivery service
for his neighbor in the increased
cost of commodities, which is
neither fair nor right. Let every
tub stand on it's own bottom. If
you are too lazy to carry home
your purchases pay the delivery
fee of 10c and have the work
done at your own expense.

More County Boarders.

Last Saturday Judge Sampson
tried a Mexican charged with
shoplifting, and was so sure of
his guilt that he committed him
to the county Jail for a term of
three months and added a fine of
$lOO. A woman arrested with
the Mexican was released.
Officer Gardner picked up a
couple of Mexicans Sunday night
and placed charge against them
OF carrying concealed weapons.
Judgs Sampson treated them to
a months board with the sheriff
at Holbrook, and tackled on a
fine of $50 each to reimburse the
county for the provisions con-
sumed.
Gardner picked up another
Mexican Sunday evening who
was loaded up with a couple of
pints of whiskey to make a de-
livery to a thirsty customer.
Judge Sampson put him away in
cold storage at Holbrook to await
the pleasure of Judge Sapp.
If this storing away of Winslow
citizens does not let up there will
have to be an addition built on
the county Jail especially for our
people. At present the Jail is
housing an exclusive Winslow
colony, and the sleeping capacity
has about been reached. Winslow
has never in the past been given
her just proportion of the county
funds, and the only way we can
get even is to have some of our
citizens board it out with Sheriff
Newman.

Travesty on Justice.

A fine exemplifcation of the
kind of justice administered in
Navajo county was the trial and
acquittal recently of a woman
charged with murder. The jury
was duly empanelled and sworn,
and for two days testimony was
taken. Then the legal staff of
the defendant was increased by
the addition of an attorney named
I. S. Greer, recently admitted to
practice in this state from Apache
county. The taking on of this
attorney was not for his superior
knowledge of criminal practice,
but because two of the jurymen
who had been sworn to try the
case free from bias and prejudice
were relatives of Greer. 1t is
not surprising that the jury,
which stood eight to four for
conviction when they first re-
tired, later brought in a verdict
of not guilty.
The case was tried before
Judge Lyman, of Phoenix, a
stranger to our citizens, which
relieves the Court of any conniv-
ance to thwart the administra-
tion of justice, but this young
sprig of the law had a guilty
knowledge that he was brought
into the case at the eleventh hour
simply for the reason that his
two relatives were members of
that jury, and they would be
biased in favor of the defendant.
The state has no redress, as the
defendant has been released; but
if the state had used the same
tactics and employed Greer be-
cause two relatives were on the
jury, and they had brought in a
verdict of guilty, a motion for
new trial or an appeal to the
supreme court would have set
aside the verdict. Mr.. Greer
prostituted the noble profession
of the law, and imposed on the
court when he accepted employ
ment in the case under these cir
cumstances, and to an unpreju-
diced mind it would seem that he
has laid himself liable to disbar-
ment proceedings, or should be
cited for contempt.
This man Greer was admitted
to practice in May, and located
in Holbrook for the express pur-
pose of being a candidate for
County Attorney against the
present incumbent, Mr.. Larson,
but if we are to judge the caliber
of the man by his first entrance
into the legal arena it will be
some time before he ever gets
any political office in Navajo
county.

Wedding Bells.

A@' AhOA l 10 w uloO DCI IIIld
Klelnwachter. This announce
ment will be interesting to
friends here of Mr.. Morris, who
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.
Houghton. and has hosts of
friends in the city among our
young people, and is admired by
all for his many sterling qualities.
Miss Kleinwachter was formerly
of Atlanta, Georgia, but for the
past five years has made her
home in Eugene, Oregon, where
she is prominent in educational
circles, being member of the
senior class of the Oregon State
Normal School. The marriage
will take place at Eugene, Ore,
June 22d, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Houghton left Friday morning
to be present at the wedding.
The bride and groom will make
their future home at San Bern
ardino, Calf. where Mr.. Morris
now holds a responsible position
with the Santa Fe.
From the Coconino Sun we get
the following concerning the
brother of N. S. Bly,, who has
many friends in this community:
Fletcher BLY,, the we'll known
sheepman, was married in Flag
staff Tuesday to Miss Georgia
Alcorn, one of Williams popular
school teachers. The ceremony
was performed by DR.. O. S.
Baum, at the Federated parson-
age Tuesday afternoon. The
former mayor of Bellemont came
to Flagstaff Tuesday and there
was much mystery in his actions
and he was not near as communi-
cative as usual; while his friends
felt that there was something
serious on his mind, none of
them could tell whether it was
wool or war, but the superior
court clerks record told the tale. |
Fletch is one of the best all
round stockmen and one of the
best liked young business men in
Northern Arizona. He has made
a splendid success of the sheep
business during the past years,
when it took energy and ability |
to come through the bad years,
but there was hardly ever time
when he could not produce a |
broad smile. The bride has
taught school in Williams for a |
couple of years or more and is |
one of the popular young ladies
of that place.
From the Phoenix Republican
we learn that Miss Elizabeth At
wood, daughter of Bishop At
wood of Arizona, was married
June 18th, at Admission, Ala, to
Lieut.. Edw. L. Duer, of the
111th Field Artillery. Miss At
wood was guest in the home of
Rev. H. S. Brewster a couple of
months ago on her trip east, but
there was no intimation at that
time the young lady would soon
be a bride.
