Adaltoni Bigue No. 1, the Navajo Indian. who, according to his own con- fession, murdered Charles Hubbell in cold blood at the latter's trading post near Oraibi on the night of March A, got off with a life" sentence, the jury bringing in their vedict of mur- der in the first degree, with that pen alty assessed, at Il o'clock Saturday morning, after IT hours deliberation.
 The younger brother, Adaltoni Bigue No. 2, whose trial was to have begun on Monday, entered plea of guilty of murder in the second de- gree. Because of his youthfulness-
 being only 17-and the fact that the older brother swore that he alone committed the crime, although the two were together, the plea was ac- cepted, and on Monday afternoon Judge Jones sentenced Adaltoni Bigqe No. 2 to serve from 15 to 20 years in the state penitentiary at Florence.
 Thus ends trial that, considering the prominence and popularity of the murdered man and his relatives, and the fiendish aspects of the crime it. self, attracted more attention throughout the state than any other local murder case in many years.
 That the verdict was not severe enough to please most of those who were better informed as to the condi- tions and details was quite evident to the observer. It was generally felt that the extreme penalty was justified and that nothing short of it would serve as a restraint upon the aborigi- mes against future crimes of the very same nature. In fact, there are many who openly say that they believe fail ure to assess the extreme penalty in such cases operates virtually as an encouragement of these semi-savages in showing more openly their con- tempt of the law and it's penalties.
 Judge J. E. Jones presided with his usual strict impartiality and prompt wisdom. Prosecutors Gold and Har- ben conducted their end of it in a way that won general commehdation. And that the defense was handled with

HAD A MANIA FOR SHIPS BELLS

A British merchant marine officer who spent some time as prisoner on board a German U-boat until the U-boat was surprised and captured by a British destroyer, tells the story of German officer, one of those on the submarine, who had strange mania for making a collection of ships bells. The Britisher told his story to Lieut.. Lewis R. Freeman, R. N. V. R., who repeats it in the Saturday Evening Post. The tale, according to Lieuten- ant Freeman, was "highly illumina- tive of the character of the German submarine commander"
 The officer with the strange mania came aboard the Briton's. ship, the Hilda Bronson, in the North Sea, ac- companied by men armed with ex- plosives, which were to be attached to the Hilda's hull.
 "He came provided with a screw driver and cold chisel of his own, and while his men were busy setting the bombs and rifling our stores," the captain relates, "he was engaged in taking down bells. He had finished with the two large bells for striking time upon and was just turning to go on the gongs of the engine room and stokehold when he was recalled to his U-boat.
 Anything that rang or tinkled seemed to be in his line; and he told us--in English, for never let on, of course, that I knew German-in the boat on the way back to the subma- rine that the biggest bell from the Hilda was to go to the town hall of the city of Mecklenburg, where he lived, and that a bronze tablet with his name as donor upon it would be set under it.
 "The last bell he got from an Eng fish ship had been given personally to the mayor, he said, and when the mayor gave a dance in his honor the bell had been set up in the orchestra and banged along with the drums and the cymbals. He told us quite freely that that had been the proudest mo- ment of his life. It never seemed to occur to him that we might have diff ficulty in seeing what there was to be proud of in footing the bell from an unarmed merchant steamer"

ARIZONA'S LONE WOLF
 HAS 100000 VOTES

Now that our 'steemed contempo- rary has boastingly claimed to itself the sole credit for the Associated Press dispatch that broadcasted throughout the country the falsehood about party of tourists recently be- ing attacked on the desert west of Springerville by band of wolves, the fact that our business men generally regard such yarns with disgust, knowing that they are distinctly harmful to this state, will doubtless increase the perpetrators pride in his own exclusive and distinctive type of humor.
 At the luncheon of the Boosters club, on Friday, at the special request of some of our business men, w. k. Musgrave, of Phoenix, predatory ami maj inspector of the United States Biological Survey, voiced, regret that such unfounded yarns should be pub lished, to Arizona's detriment. Later, to representative of The Sun, he expressed his appreciation of The Suns editorial rebuke of the false hood. He said that he had been asked both by business men here and by MT. Nelson, his chief, to express disap- proval of the story and to show it's unreliability.
 ] Both MT. Musgrave and MT. Nelson are thoroughly acquainted with Ari- zona animal life, the former having lived for years in the section in which the fictitious attack by wolves" took place. They declare that there are nnf ,,.l, which to muster a "band," and that there are none at all where the "at- tack" took place.
 As a matter of fact, there are so | few wolves in the state, Mfr. Mus 1 grave says, that good hunter, hunt ing for months. probably never would 1 find one. To illustrate this point, the department has had a man hunting 1 for two months for one lone wolf that has killed lot of stock, and when they do get him, they plan to mount i his body and display him. He is be- lieved to be part dog, and is so old that his teeth will not meet through the hide of calf, leaving marks like those made by clawing fingers.
 That false dispatch. MT. Musgrave says, and others of like nature, will do great deal of harm, deterring people from touring the state, and soaring away altogether many people of more timid nature. This is the most wonderful scenic state in the Union, he says, and its beauties will bring in an ever-increasing flood of tourists and settlers once the fact that is it safe and civilized permeates the minds of the people.
 There is no harm in publishing such a yarn locally, he said, because every one who might read it would take it at its true worth and know it was a hoax. But people in other states will believe it.
 We nominate Arizona's "lone wolf in the contest for the automobile. If the hunter following him will wad his gun with copy of The Leader, the lone wolf, when shot, will probably be found to possess enough votes to win the automobile. The sad part is that then it will be too late for the poor wolf to use his new car in escap- ing his pursuer.

LIFE E JIJRY'S VERDICT IN HUBBELL MURDER
 CASE: GENERAL DISAPPOINTMENT AT VERDICT

ability by c. H. Jordan and Mrs. Julia Braam, of Winslow, must be ad- mitted.
 The latter did not permit the de- fendant to take the stand in his own behalf, in fact presented no witnesses at all.
 Superintendents J. F. Anderson, of the Hotevilla school, and E. A. Marks, of the Oraibi school, both of whom had opportunities of knowing condi- tions and facts surrounding the crime, were both absolutely convinced of the defendants extreme guilt.
 Both of the gentlemen were states witnesses Friday--the story of the i trial up to Thursday night was print ed in last weeks Sun--and told of picking up Hubbell's body from the ruins of the store, finding his false teeth beside him.
 Wallace Bailey, of the Bailey Bros. trading post at Cedar Springs, with whom the Indians had left the sev- egal hundred dollars worth of loot they had stolen from the Hubbell store before setting fire to it in theii attempt to destroy the evidence of theil crime, presented an itemized list of the stuff, which was shown to the jury and comprised beads and other ornaments, saddle, various brides | quirts, etc.
 Mir. Bailey was suffering from pto- maine poisoning and was excused from the stand as soon as possible. County Attorney F. M. Gold ad- dressed the jury when the testimony was concluded, concisely and clearly reviewing the case and the mass of evidence introduced.
 Assistant County Attorney Harben in his plea to the jury riddiculed the theory that the crime had been com mitted in self-defense. The Indians had gone there after dark and while Mr. Hubbel was waiting on them, the elder-the defendant-had picked ur Smith & Wesson lying on the coun- ter and asked Mir. Hubbell what right he had to keep a loaded gun in the store. Hubbell had asked for the gun and reached for it, the Indian drawing it back and refusing to give it up
 There was no evidence to support the Indian in his story, MT. Harben | said, that Hubbell had then rushed into his bedroom, got another gun and fired twice at the defendant. In fact he pointed out, Hubbell's gun was found outside the store, where the In- dian had dropped it, with five loaded cartridges in it. one empty chamber and no exploded shells. The time, the threatening attitude of the Indians the loneliness of the place, all would have justified Mir. Hubbell in shooting in his own defense. MT. Harben said but he had not shot. Besides, he was frail man weighing only 103 pounds, and he was 63 years old, opposed to men with the drop on him, who. under such circumstances were in a position of advantage that required no defense of their own lives.
 The prosecution asked for the death penalty. The jury retired at about o'clock Friday night, were locked in debate all night, came in for addi- tional instructions from the court at in the morning, and finally brought in their vedict at 11:00 a. m., looking as though the next important busi- ness they had in hand was that of get ting some sleep.
