MIR. J. |. FARRELL
 KILLED BY WIFE

J. C. F arroll, a rdncner OH Garland Prairie who recently came with his family, from West Virginia, was shot and killed by his wife at their ranch on Wednesday afternoon. At the time of the shooting there were present on the ranch be- sides MT. Farrell, his wife and two children and hired man named Dyer.
 Dr. Melick received a phone call from Maine Wednesday af- ternoon asking him to come at once to the Farrell ranch as a man had been shot. On arriv- ing at the ranch he found that Farrell had been dead for sev-- eralhours.
 Local officers Hamilton, Cur tis and Burns went at once to the scene of the murder and found that Farrell had been kill led by a gunshot wound in the back. MT. Dyer made a state ment to the officers, that he had been at work in a corn fieldat the time of the shooting. MT. and Mrs. Farrell had quarreled at noon, he said, and when he reached the house after hear ing the shot, he lifted the body of Farrell from off a trunk ov- CT which the body was lying, where, MT. Dyer asserts, Far rell had gone to reach over and get a rife to shoot Mrs. Farrell, and that she killed him in self defense. Mrs. Farrell had gone to Parks and later came to Will Hams.
 The coroner's jury, called on | Thursday, returned a verdict that J. c. Farrell met his death by gunshot wound inflicted by Mrs. Farrell.
 Mrs. Farrell admitted shoot ing her husband, but claimed it was done in self-defense. The evidence showed quarrel and that Farrell had decided to leav his wife. He is a carpenter by trade and had gone into the house to pack some belongings into his tool box. He had given over the ranch and one hundred dollars to Mrs. Farrell. It was testified that while preparing to go he had remarked that he would "get all of them" The shooting took place as related above, according to testimong of both Mrs. Farrell and DyeY Dyer and Mrs. Farrell admit a friendliness toward each oth- CT but nothing more.
 Sheriff Harrington took Mrs. Farrell to Flagstaff Thursday night where she will be kept in custody for the present at least. Dyer is at liberty.

MISS FLORENCE NELLIS
 TO BE. MRS. J. E. KUHN

MISS F1Ofence NellIS Will leave next week for the home of her aunt, Mrs. A. J. Nellis, of New York City, and will be married at the home of her aunt a few days later. The for tunate groom in the case is J. E. Kuhn, manager of the Euro- pean department of Mendelson & Co.,, who are engaged in the import and export business. After their marriage, MT. and Mrs. J. E. Kuhn will make their home in an apartment in New York city, to be near Mr. Kuhn's office.
 MT. J. E. Kuhn has spent number of years in the foreign trade and import business. At the time the war broke out, he was located at Kobe, Japan. where he had a store of his own and was engaged in collecting oriental goods for shipment to the United States. At the mo- ment that war was declared, he had a large shipment of goods aboard a German ship on the ocean. Upon hearing that war was declared, the ship threw all it's cargo overheard and in this way MT. Kuhn lost his stock of goods. The goods were insured and MT. Kuhn hopes to be able to collect his insurance soon. He next came to San Francisco where he ac- cepted a position with the firm with which Miss NeIlis was en- ployed, and here developed the romance. MT. Kuhn has since been transferred to New York where he is employed as above related. He is an excellent young man, capable and indus trious and will make a good husband for his worthy bride.
 Miss Nellis needs no intro duction to the readers of the News, since she spent her early girlhood and the major portion of her life-so-far in this town. She was formerly in the employ of the Williams News for two years, from 1914, to 1917, and during that time became an ab- le compositor and a good re- porter. She afterward made a marked success as store de- tective and as demonstrator for firm in San Francisco. Last spring she returned to Williams and while spending the summer here worked at the News office mastering the linotype. Miss Florence now goes to New York to accept life position presid- ing over a home of her own. and this is sure to prove the greatest success of her life. The entire community unites in con, graduating both Florence and her husband-to-be, and in wish ing them long and happy life together.

MIR. FARMER, ATTENTION!

You could not send anything to the State Fair Last year be- cause there was no State Fair on account of the Influenza. We want to make up for lost time this fall and show the peo- pie of Arizona and the South west that Coconino county has the goods when it comes to pro- duction.
 Do not forget when selecting exhibits for the Fair that it is the best and not always the big gest that counts. In potatoes select a peck which are true type or the shape they should be for that particular variety. A peck of threshed grain or beans should be hand picked. Have them ready when I call, which will be about spud dig ging time. This hand picking of grain is an important matter and it will be we'll worth your while.
 LOOK the premium list over carefully and you will know the quantity required for any ex- hibit. Make as many entries as you can.
 I want to get a premium list into the hands of every farmer and any one else interested in Coconino county. Copies may be obtained by applying to MT. Jerry Lee, Town Clerk, Will Hams.

CASE DISMISSED
 BY JUDGE KIDD

Has UOOI ctCCuSCOI10os CO ICUlONO concealed weapons from those not entitled to carry such on the streets and in public gather ings. The police judge usually fines the offenders ten or twen- ty, after which there remains the question of what to do with, the gun. No provision is made in he town ordinances for the confscation of weapons thus collected, and yet it would be unwise to return them to the former owners. In the past 1t has been the custom of the Marshal either to retain the guns himself, for safe keeping, or to turn them over to the town clerk. Upon inquiry we find this to be the practice in most other towns of the state.
 One man whom the marshal recently relieved of gun, brot suit before Judge Button. who is both police judge and Justice of the peace, against Marshal Burns on a charge of wrongful ly retaining possession of his property.
 The case was given a hearing before Judge Kidd of Flagstaff on Saturday. It developed that a complaint had been drawn, sworn to and filed and change of venue taken before the coun- ty attorneys office was inform ed of the procedure. When called upon last Saturday, to prosecute the case, county at torney Gold made a statement to. the court which was substan- tially as follows:
 "The county attorneys office is always ready to prosecute any legitimate case which is submitted to it. In the present case the action was instituted by another attorney without any information being furnish ed the county attorneys office, and the office knew nothing of the merits of the case. It was no further to the county attor- ney's office han it was to the office of the attorney consulted, for those interested in the pros ecution. A nd, further, the prosecuting witness a night or two ago, in my presence, re quested the sheriff to sell the gun and give him the proceeds. Forthese reasons the attorneys office refuses to prosecute this case"
 The news has it on reliable information that the gun has been disposed of as requested. It is also interesting to note that the prosecuting witness was not present at the hearing Satur- day.
 MT. Gold further made it clear that the county attorney office could not be used to air person al grievances.
 Judge Kidd dismissed the case.
