 OVERTAKES GOOD MAN
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

Mike Sikos. member of the railroad contracting firm of Sikos & Steph- ems, of Los Angeles. passed away al
 Mercy hospital on Thursday night at about II o'clock from injuries re- ceived in being kicked by q mule at his camp on the A. & C. railroad on Wednesday forenoon. The blow struck in the back over the kidneys. which were penetrated by several ribs. He survived, less than two days.
 The deceased was well known and favorably known in Prescott and m years gone had followed his line of business on the s. F. P. X F., the Verde Valley road. and on the main line of the Santa Fe. His firm was given the contract some months ago filling in bridges and ballasting the road bed of the local line, and he was personally supervising the work when the sad misfortune overlook him.
 Mir. Sikos was aged A years, and q native or NlUtDS, GlNONN. AIN N"i'AN to the United States when mere boy and at maturity was naturalized as a citizen. His loyalty was strong ly asserted only short time ago when he visited this city. by his stat inc that le would enter the American army at the first opportunity. In other ways his exemplary citizenship was open and pronounced. A sad feat tire of his untimely death is that he had perfected arrangements after several months of negotiations with his native country by which his sweetheart of boyhood days was to be permitted to leave for the United States. and he was looking anxiously and joyously ahead for the day to come when the marriage would take place. No known relatives survive in this country. He will be buried in Mountain View cemetery.

Mrs. Sarah L. Rrammer, visitor during the summer from Maricopa county. who had been burdened for the past three months with deep sor- TOW, believing her son. Harvey \. Wilston. was killed in France, was happy mortal Thursday morning when she received letter from her boy stating he was "now able for the first time in over two months to write her.
 He had been under treatment at a base hospital, both eyes having been badly affected from German gas. as well were his bronchial or sans rendered useless. Mrs. Branl- mer states she read the list of casual ties among Americans and noticed the name of T. A. Wilston as among the sergeants missing from Michi- gan command. Her son enlisted with the regulars from Wisconsin, however. and the confusion in names and localities made her believe her son was killed. She now understands why the states got mixed up, the young man enlisting in Wisconsin, but Michigan being his native state.
 Sergeant Wilston says he will be invalided home as soon as he IS able to travel. and proposes to take the lecture stump 'to tell people some horrors of Hun cruelty in their damnable acts of war" He had beer student of the Michigan University at Ann Arbor for two years. and was studying mine engineering. He was at Madison, Wis, in June oi 1917. when he enlisted while on vacation, visiting with a cousin. He worked at different camps in South ern Yavapai in minor capacity to gain an insight into practical min ing, when he concluded to get an education to prepare for future in his chosen field.
 Mrs. Brammer returns home this week. and her demeanor is now one of joy instead ,of gloom. She cons cluded by saying: Harvey IS the only one left of my blood, so do you blame me for being so happy today. when I know he is alive and win soon come home to me?"

All the families in town. il is pre-

istrator Jean J. Nanderveer. and some
interesting facts are shown by the rec

by the grocers 1t became apparent be-

abused by some residents. and the ad

the matter Of issuing cards when new
regulations went into effect Since then
the number of cards issued has been over
200 less than were issued by the grocers,
and yet nobody las been refused sugar
who has been entitled to it.
One OF the interesting sidelights is the
showing which the cards make as to pop
