|. [. RILEY CANDIDATE
 FOR COUNTY RECORDER

MT. l.. C. Riley visited Will Hams the first of this week, for the purpose of meeting the To- cal voters and starting his cam paign for nomination to the of flee of County recorder on the republican ticket at the coming primaries. While MT. Riley is not we'll known in Williams, he no doubt deserves the careful consideration of the voters, as the following article from the Coconino Sun proves:
 "Mr. Riley says he is neither a prO-German or Sinn-F einer his name proves one conten- ton and he is willing to person ally prove the other. It used to be a trite saying: "Let George do it," but it was not long after Riley came to Flagstaff that the Elks, the War Savings Stamps committees, Loyalty League, Home Guards and other such concluded that Riley only put in twelve hours a day on the telephone job and that he should be kept busy the other twelve on things that interested the general public-so it was Riley, whom the boys thought of so highly put in the other twelve hours for the good of the cause.-the balance ot the day he could do as he pleased.
 In a confidential mood, Riley reluctantly stated his case: Il don't know anything about pol itics and never have been much of a mixer, except as folks mlX- ed it with me over the line, be- cause I wasn't able to hold up a couple of telephone poles in a storm and fix the wires at the same time. I have been to school some and previous ex- perience in keeping records will be of service if am elected recorder. I don't expect any one to do things for me that I wouldn't do for them and I hope to always play fair, what ever happens"
 MT. Riley has been a most ac- comodating manager of the telephone company for a num- Der of years and has at all times been ready and willing to help any movement in the interests of the county. He is serving now as president of the Flag staff Chamber of Commerce, an honor given him for his past good work. He had no inten- tion of making the race for re- corder when he resigned, but many of his friends insisted that he would make an ideal man for the place and that he will make good to the complete satisfaction of the whole peo- ple."

A RAILROAD MAN
 ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

George Stewart, foreman of a Santa Fe wrecking crew with headquarters at Winslow- was instantly killed last Friday evening when crushed by a falling freight car.
 MT. Stewart with his crew had been called from Winslow to clear the tracks of wreckage- of freight train, several cars of which had left the tracks about IA miles west of Williams between the tunnel and Fair view. MT. Stewart and MT. E. J. Nordyke were standing near the train watching the work of the crew. A freight car had been blocked up at one end and the other end was being raised by the derrick. When it was about 2 or 3 feet off the ground MT. Stewart went in around the end of the car, probably to ex- anime the tackle, when, accord ing to witnesses, the car sud- denly turned on it's side, crush ing him down upon the rock bank. Death followed instant ly. The cause of the accident could not be determined. as it might be attributed to shifting of the load in the car, or pos sibly the cribbing gave way.
 The remains were brought to Williams at once, and a coro- ners jury Investigated. and pave a verdict of accidental death.
 There was little to be learn ed here about MT. Stewart, ex- cept that he was very popular with the men who knew him. He is survived by a brother in Pueblo, Colorado, to which place the remains have been shipped.

FINE LETTER FROM
 WALTER F|NNEY
U. s. S. New Mexico,
 July 28, 1918

July 28, 1918 MT. F. E. Wells,
 Williams. Arizona,
 Dear Friend,
 We'll here is the long pro- missed letter altho it may be a short one.
 Mother sends me the News about once a month. 1 cannot tell you how good a home pa per looks to me. I usually sit in a corner and read every line in them, including the ads. That alone ought to explain how I greet them.
 I am certainly proud that l come from Williams, Arizona, and I take pride in advertising the fact for these reasons:
 The peope at home are the most hospitable and congenial people I have ever met and since I have left home have met many people. Their patri- otism cannot be surpassed be- cause it is good old western pa triotism that comes only from the very bottom of their hearts. If the whole United States was as patriotic as the people of Williams, 1 don't think there would be room enough on the equator to put a German pin, because the world would be too small to stick the pin in it.
 The Red Cross ladies, I am sure, are doing their bit mak- ing bandages. If I ever get shot I wish the bandage could stenciled or marked made in Williams, Arizona for I know l would be sure to get well. You have no idea what a good bandage means to one of our lives. It may interest you to know that, in time of battle, l am one of those who admInis- ters the first aid bandages to the wounded.
 The Williams people sure did their bit when it came to buying Liberty Bonds. 1 did not think so many dollars worth could be sold in so small a town
 1 started a conversation with a west coast boy the other dal and we got to talking of the routes we were sent over to this coast. I learned he came over the Santa Fe. I told him l lived in Williams and he said, Bud dy, you can certainly be proud of your home town. When we came thru, the ladies gave us candy, tobacco, and magazines and treated us the best in the world. We sure did appreciate it because we were all broke as it was just between paydays."
 I'll say that you sure do know how to touch the heart of a soldier or sailor and I am sorry the train 1 was on took the southern route. This fellow was not the only one who told me the same story for I have met many who say the same thing.
 People of Williams, we are certainly proud of you and the way we are going to show you is by knocking the H. out of the Kaiser and all his tribe.
 I have just been rated First class musician and I do not in- tend to stop at that. I have an appointment to attend an ensign school which starts to- morrow, and after four months course in navigation, seaman ship and gunnery, I will get a commission. This is about all l am allowed to tell about my self and surroundings, as the naval censor board is very strict.
 1 think this is about enough for this time so I will close.
 l remain,
 Walter D. Finney,
 from Williams, Ariz

AUTOMOBILES USED IN
 WHISKEY SMUGGLING ARE
 TO BE SEIZED IN UTAH

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Nov" l. Automobiles used in the Smugg'- .ng of liuuor into Utah are liable tc confiscation, in the opinion of Attor- ney General Dan B. SheildS of Utah, and the attorney general is also of the ,ninion that when this becomes known that this illegal practice will b. cu'- tailed greatly, for it will be much harder to lose a costly automobile than to submit to a fine by the sheriff of thi, county.
 Two automobiles have been seized Ivy the sheriff of this county together with their cargo of liquor and the sheriff intends to make every attempt to retain possession of the machines.
 Attorney General Sheilds says: "i believe we are justified in holding all ,ars found carrying contraband liq uor into the state. The prohibition law expressly states that not only the ljq- uor but the receptacles thereof, are subject to confiscation. At any rate l have instructed the sheriff to hold all. cars smuggling liquor into the state nd we will continue to hold them ur- til the owner takes the matter bofor" the courts. My office is prepared to fight any case and feel that the courts decision will uphold my inter pretation of the law.
