LARGE NUMBER
JURyMEN SUMMONED
Alex. VanhoOser to Be Tried for
Murder of p. S. Harris.

Five hundred jurymen are sum-
moned from which to select a
jury at Jasper today, for the
trial of Alex Vanhooser, of Whit
we'll, charged with the murder of
P. S. Harris, of Whitwell. Sept.
18, 1918. 1t is believed that it
will be extremely difficult to Sc
lect a jury for trial of the case,
as the case has been widely dis
cussed and opinions formed.
Vanhooser shot Harris five
times with a .38 Smith & Wesson
pistol about acknowledgements
18, 1918, Harris dying instantly.
The cause of the trouble was an
old feud of the men, SO it was
claimed, Harris having stabbed
Vanhooser in the side with a
knife several years ago in an en-
counter between the two men.
Harris, when found was dead,
but had pistol tightly clinched
in his hand which had refused to
fire. Both pistols which the
men had were exactly alike.
The only witness to the killing
was J. c. VanHooser, a brother
of Alex VanHooser, who. how
ever, was not directly with the
men at the time. Harris was a
deputy sheriff and had been ap-
pointed by Sheriff G. w. Coppin-
ger following his election. ]. G.
Vanhooser is constable for the
town of Whitwell and imme-
diately put his brother under ar
rest. He has been out under
bond.
The trial is attracting great in
terest in this county, Harris. hav-
ing a wide circle of relatives,
among them being M. L. Harris,
of Cleveland, Tenn, who is lead
ing the prosecution. Harris was
seen to have large sum of mon
ey on his person the night Of the
murder. and the fact that it was
not found on him after the kill
ing and has disappeared, has also
caused considerable speculation. 1

Fades Away.

W. G. Williams, proprietor of
the City Bakery, quietly faded
away last Saturday evening, leav-
ing numerous creditors to mourn
his departure. Williams came
here last fall and took over the
bakery, and at once commenced
building up a fine business. but
a few months ago there was some
family troubles and his wife left
him, going to Albuquerque. From
that date he commenced neglect
ing his business for other outside
interests, and for the past month
it was apparent to any observer
that his days in business were
numbered, but the end was not
expected so suddenly.

after the loan was put on the
market by voluntary subscrip-
tlons, but the drive is on for the
purpose of doubling the amount.

Public Health Nurse.

Surgeon-GeneraI Blue, writing
to the Red Cross Magazine in a
recent issue on public health
nurses says he hopes the time is
not far distant when every com
munity will enjoy the benefits of
a system of public health nurs-
ing, because he can hardly con-
ceive of any other single meas
ure of health protection whose
general application will bring
greater lasting benefits to the
community. Unfortunately a very
large number of communities are
still without public health nurses,
Notwithstanding progressive G
health administrators who have
had experience with public health
nursing are unanimous in praise
Of results obtained.
Winslow is one of the pioneers
in the public nursing in Arizona,
having had one in the employ of
the city during the past year,
n d practically demonstrating
their usefulness.

Minerology Lecture.

George R. Fansett, mining en-
glneer of the Arizona Bureau of
Mines Of the state university,
will give a free lecture at the
high school auditorium tonight
(Friday) on practical Minerolo-
gy for the Prospector." !" This
lecture and demonstration has
met with unusual favor in the
towns and mining camps of
southern Arizona. This is prob
ably due to the fact that Mr..
Fancett handles the demonstra-
tion in such way that one could
be able to make tests himself of
his samples and detect any val
liable metals they contain.
The testing of minerals is some
thing which everybody in this
highly mineralized section sur
rounding Winslow should know
how to do for himself, and this
lecture is just>what many pros
pectors, stockmen and ranchers
have been looking for, and it is
hoped that as many as possible
will avail themselves of the op-
portunity to hear the lecture.

Timely Suggestion.

Thos. Maddox, state engineer,
has written to our representa-
tlVes In Congress calling their
attention to the matter of feder-
al aid for state highways which
is to be distributed according to
population. and reminding them
that when the government pre-
pared its estimate of Arizona's
population for the application of
the selective draft, it placed the
population of the state at more
than 400. 900. M. Maddox now
suggests to the senators and con-
gressmen that it is up to them to
see that in the matter of distri-
button of funds the same esti-
mated population be used in
awarding to Arizona her proper
ton.
1t will be remembered that in
the early stages of the war when
assignments were being made to
officers training camps the 1910
census was used as the basis, CIV
ing Arizona about fifty men for
these places, and New Mexico
nearly 100. Then when soldiers
were needed under the draft, the
war department made an esti-
mate of the population increas-
ing Arizona about 100 per cent,
and decreasing New Mexico about
fifty per cent, making it necessa-
ry for Arizona to furnish nearly
10, 600 soldiers and New Mexico
less than 5000 This represents
the difference between having
live ones" in Congress who are
always on the job looking after
the interests of the state, or
having a bunch of politicians
who are only interested in hold
ing their jobs. Senators Fall
and Jones, of New Mexico, are
always on their toes getting
things for their state, and not
worrying about winning national
regulations; our Senators Smith
and Ashurst are simply job hold
ers because they like Washing
ton life. Smith never does any
thing, and Ashurst is always
making speeches about the beau
ties of the San Francisco peaks,
and other pleasing generalities,
because he likes to hear his voice
echoing in the senate chamber,
and the plaudits from the gale
ries confirm him in the belief he
is a national character. He may
be, but Arizona needs men who
have no other interests that will
interfere with their usefulness to
the state.
