Charged With Statutory Rape.

A Mexican named Gonzales,
about twenty-five years of age,
was arraigned before j d g e
Sampson last Monday afternoon
charged with statutory rape, and
pleading sguilty was bound over
to the superior court. About
three weeks ago Gonzales in
duced a Mexican girl, twelve
years old, who was small for her
age, to run away from her home
in Winslow, and live with him as
his wife. The local officers Wireo
to all the towns along the Santa
Fe to keep a lookout for the
couple, but they succeeded in
evading arrest until last Satur-
day, when they were taken into
custody by Sheriff Dickinson at
Flagstaff. Both the girl and the
man admitted their illicit rela-
tions when placed under arrest.

Real Sister Can Go to France.

Because the government is ex-
periencing difficulty in getting a
sufficient number of women to
enlist in the war work in France,
it has modified it's earlier order
and will now accept young wo-
men who have brothers in the
army over sea. The order pro-
vides that the young lady must
be the duly accredited represent
ative of the Red Cross or some
other recognized allied body,
and they must go to France as
workers, and not as relative,
and must make no effort to visit
relatives in France whether they
are sick or well, and must be
returned to this country if they
violate the order. The worst re-
striction, however, is the one
that forces them to return to this
country if they marry any officer
or soldier during their residence
oversee during the continuance
of the war. This restriction will
no doubt cool the enthusiasm of
the young women who are "rar-
ing to go" across.

Maricopa County Mystery.

According to the Arizona Re-
publican a death cave has been
discovered in Maricopa county,
and it is estimated there are at
least Is or possibly 80 skeletons
therein of adults and children.
The cave is on the Indian reserva-
tion about twenty-five miles south
Of Phoenix, and was discovered
by one Joe Yberri. Eight of the
skeletons were intact and fully
clothed, and one skeleton was
evidently a little girl as 1t was
clad in a dress and white under
skirt trimmed with embroidery.
Parts of other.skeletons are ly-
ing all around the cave. 1t is the
opinion of the authorities that
the skeletons have been there
eight or ten years, and one solu-
tion of the mystery is that it was
a smuggling gang, and probably
were killed by Indians. A cor
oner's inquest will be held to in
quire into the mystery and try to
find some reasonable conclusion.

Bad Hombres.

The boldest attempt at auto
mobile thievery that has yet been
recorded in this state was per-
petrated last Friday evening,
when two men appeared in Flag
staff and opened negotiations
with Mr.. A. w. Bikker for the
purchase of his automobile. Ne
gotiations progressed to the point
where they asked the owner to
take them out for a demonstra-
tion of the machine, and when
about twenty miles out from
Flagstaff they covered the owner
with a gun, compelled him to
make out and sign a bill of sale,
and then started off with the
car, leaving the owner to get
back the best way he could.
Friday evening when a few miles
west of Winslow the auto thieves
run out of gasoline, and early the
next morning they held up an
auto tourist with their guns,
took all his gas, and robbed the
occupants of their money and
two rifles. The sheriff of Coco
.nino county was on their trail in
a few hours, and wired to all the
officers along the route to be on
the lookout. Saturday morning
City Marshal LaPrade, who was
stationed near the Santa Fe
shops, captured the thieves in
the car coming into town. They
were lodged in Jail and that eve-
ming the Coconino county officers
took them back to the scene of
their crime. They admitted they
made auto stealing their business,
and claimed to have been ope-
rating in California for some
time. The mistake they made
was trying the game in Arizona.

Baby Welfare Clinic.

Next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday the mothers of VIM
slow are to have a free baby
clinic for the weighing, meas
urlng and examination of all
children under the age of six
years. This clinic is held under
the direction of the Children s
Bureau of the u. S. Department
of Labor, and is a part of the
nationwide campaign to save
100000 babies, so it is the patri-
otto duty of every mother to
bring her children so Uncle Sam
may have a record of the little
ones.
The examination will be throat.
ears, lungs, etc., and local doc
tors and nurses will assist DIR.
Tarr. A nursery will be fitted
up, and some one will be present
to entertain the children during
the hour for the lecture, and
mothers are urged to attend and
bring the babies. The clinic will
be held at the Washington School,
and the hours for the lectures
will be 10 am, and 2 pm. every
day.
Mr.. Black, the jeweler, will
give a silver cup to the baby that
scores the highest, and Mr.. F. H,
Murphy will give half a dozen
photos, and the Kelly Drug Co.
will also offer a prize. This clinic,
however, must not be mistaken
for baby show, but is held for
the purpose of educating young
mothers in the care of children.

Correction on Bread Cards.

C. C. Grover, the local food
administrator, informs us that
our comments on the bread cards
was somewhat in error as to the
signing of more than one card.
The cards are used for both
sugar, bread and all wheat pro-
ducts, and a person can sign a
card to purchase bread at the
City Bakery, and sign another
for the purchase of sugar and
wheat products at one of the
stores. The City Bakery can sell
bread and other manufactured
wheat products to all persons
who call there and sign a card.
This correction is made in justice
to our local baker, Mr.. Williams.

Mrs. Thos. Ramage is visiting
in Los Angeles and San Diego a
few weeks with friends.
Geo. Sampson leaves Saturday
to join the army, and engage in
the sport of hunting the Hun.
Mrs. W. F. Goldsworthy and
daughter Ruth are spending a
few weeks at the beach in Cali
fornia.
Miss Agnes Ward, the only
friend the editor has in the Bank
of Winslow, has gone away for a
two weeks vacation in Albu-
querque.
E. B. Hebert is taking a few
days off from his regular duties
as chief clerk in the superintend-
ent's Office, to enjoy the ocean
breezes in California.
F. H. Trimble and family have
gone to Los Angeles, where Mr..
Trlmble will enter the hospital
for a minor operation, so he can
enter the military service.
M. A. Vaughan, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Travis,
who have been visiting here for
some time, left in Mr.. Vaughan's S
car Tuesday afternoon for Cali
fornia. Mr.. Vaughan will stay
on the coast a month.
Mrs. Chapman finally decided
that too much liberty was not good
for the editor, and she returned
last Saturday from California
after an absence of five weeks.
This is notice to the gang that
all untitled dates are cancelled.
The heat of last Sunday mixed
up with liberal doses of ice water
proved too much for Mr.. w. A.
Parr, and he was confined to the
house for a few days. He is
able to be out again, but still
feels the effect of being over
come with the heat.
Billy Daze, who is now just an
ordinary private citizen, having
unloaded the cares and respon-
sibilities of reading postal cards
and licking stamps, has gone to
Los Angeles to enlist in the navy
and lend his aid hereafter to
licking the Kaiser, which Bill
says is more to his liking.
Mrs. w. A. Parr has received
word that one of her nephews,
who is with the American forces
in France, advising her that he
is in a hospital recovering from
a shell wound; and his only anx-
iety is to get well and strong
enough to get back after the
Hun. Our American boys are all
Irish when it comes to the fight
ing spirit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Cumming
returned home last week from
their trip through the east, term
mating at Atlantic City, where
Mr.. Cumming attended the grand
lodge of Elks. According to Mr..
Cumming the war spirit in the
east is bubbling over all the time,
and the appearance of a troop
train is a signal for everybody
to get out to welcome the soldier
boys.
Prof. G. E. Cornelius and fam
lily left Tuesday for their new
home at Flagstaff. where Mr..
Cornelius will soon assume his
new duties as president of the
normal school. The citizens of
Winslow regret to lose this fami-
ly, not only because we are to be
robbed of the services of Mr..
Cornelius as superintendent of
the schools, but because both Mr..
and Mrs. Cornelius were always
actively prominent in all social
and civic matters for the better

are beloved by all for their plain
