TWO WINS. STORES
 BURGLAR|zED, WED.

On Wednesday night, the Racket Store and James. Ken nedy's Grocery were both burg Iarized, apparently by the same parties. Entrance was made thru the back door in both cas- es and the goods taken were similar.
 At Kennedy's Grocery, the thieves entered thru the back door by forcing it open, and then proceeded to help them selves to a number of articles including knives, toilet sets. watches and few pieces, of jewelry. The cash register was opened but no money except a. large number of pennies were in the register, and these seem . ed to have been left unmoIest-- ed. The safe did not appear to be tempered with.
 At the Racket Store, one suit case, four gold watches and chains and small quantity of canned goods and fruit were taken. Here too the cash regis ter was opened but only pen nies were to be found in it and but few of these were taken Entrance here was made thru the back door by means of tak.s ing the. putty away from the glass in the door and removing the glass.
 As yet no clue as to the iden- tity of the burglars has been found.

Rebekah Picnic


 The picnic held at Spitz Springs, near Maine, last Sun day, by the Daughters of Re bekah, of Flagstaff and Will Hams was most enjoyable affair. Some 150 members and their friends made. the trip by auto, the larger delegation be- ing from Flagstaff. A splen- did and bountiful luncheon was provided, which was served a. la cafeteria. A game of base ball was played between mala members of the society which was very well contested, altho the score would indicate that some of the players were old time cricketers. It resulted. g. to 12 in favor ofFlagstaff. All were amateurs, it goes without saying, but some of them had not played ball for a number of years Swings were provided for the children. The picnicera returned early to Flagstaff and Williams because of a threat ening thunder storm. The Flagstaff Rebekahs are espec- ially to be congratulated on the perfection of their plans, to give a day of pleasure to all their guests.

WINS. FANS DELIGHTED
 WITH BEST GAME YET

The baseball fans of Will Hams were treated to another exciting baseball game on Sun day when the home team enter tained Seligman, and incident ally trimmed them by score of 8 to7. Ed Conway, old war horse of by-gone days, twirled for Williams, and after the first inning when a hit, couple of
 nisjudged flies, and fielding error, produced four runs for the visitors, he was never in ser. : ious difficulty. In fact, he seemed to get better as the game progressed, and in the first half of the ninth inning struck out the three batters who faced him on eleven pitch ed balls. Going into the eighth inning with the score 7 to 1 in favor of the visitors, the Will Hams boys put on a rally that produced four runs before the side was retired. In this inning. Proctor the first man up, lean ed against one of Kuchenback- er's shoots, and when the left fielder got through chasing the ball and returning it to the diamond, Proctor was enscons- ed on third base. After Carl son had struck out, Palmer pro- duced a double to center, SCOT ring Proctor, himself scoring a few minutes later on a ball hit by Levi Montgomery through Ramsey, the Seligman manag- CT, who after vainly trying to connect with Conway's offer ings in the first half of the eighth, was essaying to play short. Dooner, pinch-hitter ex- traordinary, lined out a beauty over third, scoring Montgom- cry, and scored himself a few minutes later on Conway's hit over first. In the ninth. Jay Montgomery produced his sec. ond hit of the game, and scored on Proctor's two-bagger. Carl son after having whiffed at three was given life at first by an error of the Seligman catcher; Palmer hit one to the shortstop, who retired Proctor at third, and Harry McDougal was there with a hit which scored Carlson and Palmer. with the necessary rHns to win the game. The fielding fea- lures of the game were provid- ed by Jav and Levi Montgom- cry for Williams, Proctor and Palmer contributed largely to the winning of the game. Proc tor led both teams at bat. get ting a three bagger, two-bag- ger, and two singles out of five times at bat.
 Flagstaff is expected to come here for trimming on Sunday; and on Monday. Labor dav. Ash Fork and Williams will play here. Give the boys a good turnout on these two days and show that Williams appre- ciates the efforts they are mak- ing to give Williams winning team.

YORK ON COMMITTEES.

York county has Jared unusually
we'll on the committees Of the house
this year, having several important
chairmanships, including those Of ways
and means, commerce and manufac-
lures, accounts and engrossed bills.
The committee assignments Of the diff
ferent members Is as follows:
Representative Bradford-Chairman
Ways and Means.
Representative Hart-Member Of Ju-
dietary, Rules.
Representative Nunn-Chairman Of
Accounts, chairman Of Commerce and
Manufactures chairman Of Engrossed
Bills.
Representative Pursley-Member Of
Agriculture, Legislative Library, OFF,
ces and Officers.
Mr.. Bradford has only one assign
ment for the reason that the Ways and
Means is generally considered the most
important committee Of the house and
the chairman thereof Is seldom ap-
pointed to any other committee.
All three Of Mr.. Nunn's chairman
ships are of especial importance.
Mr.. Pursley is second on the very
important committee on agriculture.
Mr.. Hart does not fare quite so well
because Of being a new member; but
his assignment to the Judiciary and
Rules committees indicates knowledge
and appreciation Of his fine qualif1ca-
tions. These are easily two Of the most
important committees of the house.

On account of the illness of Rev.

On account Of the illness Of Rev. j.
l. Oates, the craftsmanship Of the Near
East Relief dri"s for western York,
has devolved upon Mr.. w. T. Beam
guard of Clover. Mr.. Oates had not
been advised Of his appointment until
after he had been attacked by infiuen-
"a, and was unable to do anything In
the way Of promoting the work. Mr..
Beamguard has taken hold after the
drive should have been commemorate
should have been under way since the
12th-and Is at serious disadvantage
as to organization. etc. He has been
writing letters to the pastors OF the
county, to the teachers Of the Sunday
schools and to the teachers Of the pub
lie schools for assistance, and he Is
publishing a notice today that tells ev-
erybody who desires to help how they
may get their contributions to the
right place. Readers Of the newspa-
pers as we'll as readers of The Enqui-
rer alone, have had opportunity to be
informed as to conditions in the Near
East, the need for relief and the steps
that are being taken to afford that re-
lief We will say that while there may
be those who think that the sufferings
of the Near East are no concern OF
ours, IL there are any such they are
mistaken. 1t is the call Of Christianity
to humanity-the call Of God almighty
on some Of his children who are more
fortunate. to help others Of his chill
dren who are less fortunate, and there
is no question Of the duty OF any one
to give in such a cause.
