Registers a Complaint.

/ We have a letter from one of
the boys who recently left Win
slow for Camp Funston COM
planning that the citizens and
the Red Cross did not do any,
thing for the boys who went out
with his contingent, when other
towns, especially Flagstaff, gave
their boys comfy" kits, feasted
them and gave a farewell dance.
While the complaint seems we'll
registered these young men
should remember there is diff
ference in conditions between
Flagstaff and Winslow. Flag
staff is the county seat, and
under the order of the local
boards all drafted men must as
semble at the county seat to en-
train for camp. The Winslow
boys have to report to Holbrook,
and they go there at any time
that suits their pleasure prior to
the day set for leaving. A county
seat town can thus prepare to
entertain the boys in a bunch.
Winslow is not lacking in appre-
citation of her boys who go into
the service, as has been frequent
ly demonstrated, but with five or
six boys leaving at a time, and
some of them not here when
called, but have to report from
other places, it would be almost
impossible to make any success
full effort at entertainment.

Killed by Train.

Rosalio Gonzalez, a Mexican
employed by the Santa Fe at the
shops, was killed near the stock
yards Tuesday evening, when he
attempted to cross the tracks in
front of No. z. He had quit work
for the day, and boarded the
switch engine to ride into town.
jumping off near the stock yards,
and without looking started to
cross the main line track, and
stepped in front of the passenger
train. His head was crushed,
and several bones were broken,
and death was instantaneous.
Judge Sampson held an inquest,
and the enginemen on No. 7 were
held blameless in the matter.

Annual High School Play.

The annual high school play,
"A Pair of Sixes,' given at the
Opera House last Saturday eve.
ming, drew out a standing room
only crowd. The play was well
staged, and the young perform
ers took their parts with all the
ease and grace of professionals.
The high school play is one of
the features Of graduation week,
and in years past excellent pro-
ductions have been given, but
none Of them were equal to the
performance of last Saturday
evening. This is largely due to
the fact that many of the actors
this year have been appearing in
the previous plays for four years,
and with the experience have
developed a high standard of
histrionic ability. The ingenue
of the cast was Miss Louise
Chase, in the double role of an
office stenographer and a house
maid, and her clever work justly
deserved the applause she. re-

Missed His Date.

Corp. Homer Whited, one of
Pershing's soldiers, who came
back from the front with fifty
others to campaign for the third
Liberty loan, and was billed to
make an address here last Tues
day evening, was taken sick in
Phoenix and had to cancel his
date. Word has been received
from him that he will be here
to-day (Friday) and will speak
in the M. E. church tonight.
Corp. Whited is an Alabama
boy, and previous to going to
France was with the national
guard on the Mexican border in
Arizona for two years. He has
had several months actual ex-
perlence in the trenches IN
France, and what he tells of the
war will be frst-hand informa-
tion that has come under his OBJ
servation while on duty. He was
one of a small party of Alabama
boys who had a hand-to-hand
conflict with a squad of German
soldiers, and after a brief dis
with hand grenades and
a shooting party, nine German
soldiers had gone to meet the
kaiser's god, and two prisoners
were led back to camp.

Harvest of Bootleggers.

Friday of last week was Sheriff
Newman's busy day taking in
bootleggers. Early that morning
he picked up man at HoIbrook
who dropped off a freight train
with suit case filled with liquor.
The man objected seriously to be-
ing arrested, and when he caught
the sheriff off his guard, struck
him a vicious blow in the face.
He is sorry now that he tried it,
as he is slowly recovering from
the trimming he got at the hands
of Newman.
A few hours later the sheriff
picked up another violator who
had just arrived in Holbrook
from Springerville with a stock
of goods. He is resting in Jail,
awaiting sentence.
In the afternoon Newman got
on the trail of an automobile that
was supposed to be loaded with
contraband. He overlook the
car with the two men occupants
near Chevelon. A search of the
car disclosed 18 cases of liquor.
They were anxious to plead guilty
at once, and Judge Sapp handed
them the new prescription of six
months in Jail and a fine of $500
each.

stripes for a term of years.

he will realize fully his expectations

taken over well equipped and
stocked drug store that has enjoyed
very thriving business under the
direction of the late proprietor.
