Four ex-service men, ,aH over seas soldiers were shot and kill ed when members of the 1. w. w. fired into an Armistice Day parade in Centralia, Washing ton last Tuesday. Several others were wounded but all are ex- pected to live.
 The shooting began when the parade drew abreast of the Industrial Workers of the World hall, the bullets going over the heads of the crowds in. to the massed veterans.
 The crowd started to chase the reds and began picking up persons suspected of belonging to radical orders, which were lodged in jail. Others raided the I.W.W. headquarters and seized quantities of radical lit erature and burned the furni- ture and tearing dowu the walls andwrecking the building.
 Meanwhile a crowd was col lecting about the jail. Former, service men, some of them arm ed with seized weapons, patroll- ed the ground nearby to pre- vent further violence.

 The Rev. MT. Moore's mess age to Williams is aSfolIows--
 'It is a great pleasure to be able to announce that the attendance at the Mission has been steadily increasing for over a month. This is splendid encouragement to the minister and to all interested in the church. Many are finding that regular presence at the House If God supplies something which cannot be found any where else. The increase in the attendance is due chiefly to the genuine spirit of Christian fellowship shown bv the men. bers in their interesting their friends in the church service e and bringing them to the House of God.
 "Let this splendid work con tmue. Whenever the members of the congregation, themselves thus show the spirit of real bro- therhood and fellowship, the church is bound to take on new life and the pews are bound to fill up.
 Whether you are a Christ ian or not, unless you are form ally allied with some other con- gregation, feel warmly well comed to join the worshipers at St. Johns Mission every Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. You will be made to feel that your presence is appreciated".

PHOENIX BROTHERS
 TOBE PROSECUTED

Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has declared his intention of cooperating closely with the federal authorities in any pro- secutions under charges of alleged profiteering. He said immediate action was contem- plated, room rents and prices of foodstuffs being among the first to be considered.
 The announcement followed the receipt of a message from United States Attorney General Palmer expressing the view that one or two convictions may curtail the excessive charges now being made. He also sug- gested that violations of the act be reported to United States Marshall and the district attor- ney in this state.
 The act referred to by the Attorney General makes it an offense ''to exact excessive prices for any necessaries" and provides that the offender shall be fined not more than S5,OOG or be imprisoned for not more than two years or both.

Un accompanied, being met only by the minister and his wife. it was a happy couple that took leave little later, followed by the good wishes of the rest of the tiny gathering.
 The newly married couple will eventually make their home at the Grand Canyon, where MT Swart is employed by the Santa Fe.

CLOWN OUNCE PLAYS

Some practical joke artist placed the whole town in jer- ardy on Monday afternoon by turning off the main gate be- tween the reservoir and the dis tributing system, rendering the town powerless in case of fire, and lnconveniencing many peo- pie who wished to use the wat CT between the hours of noon
 The cowardly cur who would do such a thing should be made an example of in order to pre- vent recurrence.
 It was quite ordinary thing for the Germans to do before they were reduced to their pro- per place in the animal king dom so it brings up the question as to who is the Fritzie here?

M [ KEE,f LOST 1910,
 FOUND TODAY

The remains of c. R. Mckee, were locatd by Jim Smith this morning. Mckee passed thru Williams on a west bound pas senger about nine years ago and got off the train at Ash Fork, according to the NEWS of Dec. 3, 1910. Jimmy Me Clane, then riding for Ben Sweetwood, came in town a day or two later and reported to Marshal Patterson that he had come into contact with a crazy man in the neighborhood of Sweetwood's ranch. He re- ported that evidently the man had imbibed too freely of rat tlesnake whiskey and was out of his mind. The identity of the man was established thru letters in hs coat which Me ] Clane brot in with him.
 At that time two posses were formed and equipped for a long search and started out with McClane for a guide. John Mckee, brother to the. lost man came to Williams from Los Angeles and joined the party. Tom Pulliam, w. H. Covert and Bill Donnelly head ed one party while R. D. Postle Bert Ragan and deputy-sheriff E. M. Tackett headed the oth- CT.
 The News of December 10. 1910, states that the posses were using dogs and that H. w. Covert had posted a reward of $2O0 for information leading to the location of the man and Ray Wolfe had reported that Mckee had been seen on Nov. 2Oth near Apache Springs, hat less, coatless and on run away from some riders
 From that day until this morulng, no peson has seen Me kee. At one time a detective from Los Angeles spent several months here trying to get clues, and the dead mans life insur- ance caused several lawsuits.
 Judge Button was interview ed and stated that he was un- able to state whether a coron- CTS jury would be made up on the case until he had received advices from the county attor- ney.
 Jim Smith found the body within one hundred yards from the trail which the possess fol- lowed in searching for the man.
