Mr.. James Hanks Pearl, of San
Francisco, was in the city last
Saturday to get one Harry Pres
ton, who had been arrested by
local officers on information from
the California city, where he was
wanted for disposing of mort
gagged property. Mr.. Pearl, as
his name indicates, is member

He has been member of the

twenty-four years, and he ex-
poets soon to be retired to the

Moore for dinner, and in the af-

for an auto ride about the city

elaborate dinner was served in
the banquet room of the Macca-
bee hall, and Immediately follow
ing the local degree team put on
an initiation for the edification
of their guests. Then a tempt

Editor Needs Stronger Glasses.

Mrs. James Griswold Wentz,
president of the Decent Dress
Committee of New York City,
says "the French gowns which
are coming in are to be worse
than any we have had yet" She
says some of the them have no
sleeves, and some only a little
band of silk or velvet over the
shoulders, and some have moth
ing at all; that it does not make
much difference about the sleeves,
if there is a modest bodice, but
some of the gowns have none at
all, only a bank of satin. The
editor is bit inquisitive, and he
would like to be informed how
the waist will be held in place if
there are not even straps over
the shoulders? What would hap
pen if the lady should sneeze?
We urge DR.. Brown to hurry up
our new glasses. and make them
a little bit stronger.

Forger Captured.


A fellow by the name of O. O.
Lyons was arrested by local Of
ficers last Monday on the charge
of forgery. 1t appears that last
January he was employed by the
Santa Fe as a night baggage man,
and in some manner came into
possession of a paw check made
out to another employe, which he
endorsed with the other mans s
name and secured the money.
Before the error was discovered
Lyons had left the country, but
he drifted back to the scene of
his crime last week and was
picked up. He is now in jail at
Holbrook aweiting the action of
the superior court.

Funds for Fair Associations.

In the legislature this week the
bill making the usual appropria-
tion for the state fair met with
considerable opposition and at
one time looked as though it
would be cut out entirely. 1t was
finally passed after reducing the
amount from $75, 900 to $50, 600.
A few weeks ago this same Iegis-
lature passed a $4,000 appropri-
alton to aid the iPrescott fair.
but up to date we have heard of
no bilk being introduced to aid
the Navajo County Fair that
holds it's meetings at Snowflake.
1t the state is going to parcel out
it's funds for fairs why not treat
them all alike. If Yavapai coun-
ty is entitled to $4,000 for its
fair, Navajo county is certainly
entitled to SIS, 900 to aid it's coun-
ty fair. At any rate Senator
Parr and Representative Rich
ards should introduce a bill for
that purpose, and let the legisla-
ture go on record with a vote.

A ppointed Consulting Surgeon

1t will be pleasing information
to the people of this community
to learn that DIR. G.. L. Hatha-
way has been appointed consult
ing surgeon for the Albuquerque
division of the Santa Fe, by the
Santa Fe Hospital Association.
While the doctor was in the army
a lot of people wanted to be sick,
but put it off until he returned,
and it was the same with the
Hospital Association. They have
had this job open for several
months, but they were waiting
for DR.. Hathaway to get out of
the army.

Jealous Woman and a Gun.

Last Monday afternoon at Viii
liams, Mrs. Nichols, wife of a
telegraph operator in that city.
entered the Babbitt store and
without any ceremony opened
fire ION Mrs. Wolfe, saleslady,
and continued the fusilade until
she emptied the gun, and never
made hit. After the first shot
Mrs. Wolfe ducked under coun-
ter, and made a hasty exit thru
passage way. 1t is said the
motive for the shooting was .jeal-
ousy, it being alleged by Mrs.
Nichols that Mrs. Wolfe was at
tempting to ALLEVIATE the affec-
tions of her husband. Mrs. Mich
OILS was disarmed and placed un-
der arrest.
With such an abundant supply
of men in the country it seems
almost unnecessary for one wom-.
an to go cunning after some 9TH
er woman whom she thinks is
trying to steal her husband, when
it is so easy to go into a divorce
court to shed the present incum-
brance, and in sixty days might
pick out another one. The over
stock of men makes them a drug
on the market, and the woman
can pick and choose, but after all
she will find they are about all
alike.

The Last Estate.

News was received in WinsloW
last Sunday that Mr.. George M.
Braxton, publisher and editor OF
the Holbrook News, had passed
away early that morning at his
nome after an illness of two days
from pneumonia. Mr.. Braxton
had been about the office all week
until Friday morning, when he
decided to remain in bed, evil
IDENTIFY not realizing his danger
Gus condition. He continued to
rapidly grow worse until the end.
The body was taken to Los An
geles Sunday evening for inter-
ment. Deceased leaves a wife,
a sister living in Indiana, and an
aged mother living in Los Ange-
les.
In the passing away of Mr..
BraXton, the little town of Hol-
brook loses a loyal and faithful
citizen who gave freely of his
time and ability to develop and
promote the growth of the town
where he had cast his fortune,
and his newspaper, always we'll
edited, was a beacon light to
others to follow his lead. Mr..
5raxton was never very rug
ged, and the pains that wrack-
ed his body never left an i'm
press on his geniality, his cordial
smile, and the welcome hand
clasp. He loved all mankind.
and his greatest pleasures were
derived in being of assistance to
those less fortunate, or lending
his aid to help them over the
rough places in the road. The
editor of the Winslow Mail will
always retain lively recollections
of his kindness and assistance
rendered us during the first three
weeks of our residence in Wins
low, when at great sacrifice to
himself, and at considerable in
convience to his office, he run the
editions of this paper on his press,
to accept decent compen-
sation for his services. He loved
his home and was devoted to his
wife, who now 5ereft of the
strong protecting arm that made
her life so pleasant, is now CROP
ing through the dark pail of grief
that is her burden all alone to
bear. Mrs. Braxton may find
some consolation in the knowl-
edge that all the good people of
Holbrook are depressed at the
visitation of Divine Providence
that has robbed them of good
citizen, and he passed away be-
loved by all who knew him.
