Writing from New York recently, Harry McComber, who has mining interests in the Copper Creek field, east of Mayer, imparts tine surprising information that he was married on December 4, at Syracuse, to Mrs. Belle Clinton Evans, and that after the first of the year they would return to Prescott Also did the groom state that his mission home to secure funds for his copper interests had been sue cessful, the father of the bride also becoming quite heavily interested, as well as the father of the groom.
 Mir McComber served for nearly one year overseas with an engineering regiment, and since leaving the serv- ice visited this section during last September, when he secured an option on a majority of the stock of a de- funct company. He made favorable report on the Binghamton over five years ago when a student of mine en- gineering at Golden, as we'll was his prophetic ability eXemplifed that the belt which is now under successful operation by the United Verde EX- tension would some day startle the mining world.

EARLY SETTLER GOES
 OVER TRAIL

At Camp Verde, December 5, James D. Sellers, a native of the South, passed away, aged about 76 or v years.
 MT. Sellers has been a resident of Arizona about 5 to 40 years. He formerly followed freighting, but about six or seven years since located a homestead of l60 acres of land near Camp Verde and leased a school sec ton and fenced it in connection with his homestead. He has resided upon it since that time.
 About two months ago he was talk en with some sort of slow fever, and was confined to his bed over a month and then got so he could take care of himself. During the recent storm he took a relapse and caught cold, ana was moved to good, comfortable rooms in the old Camp Verde hospital building.
 Upon the recommendation of the justice of the peace, Geo. w. Hance, the board of supervisors made an al lowance for MT. Sellers. He will in all probability be buried at Middle Verde cemetery.
 MT. Sellers served in the Confeder- ate army during the Civil war, and at the close of the war came west and was buffalo hunter at and near the Adobe Walls in Southern Kansas un- til he came to Arizona.
 The immediate cause of his death was paralizing of the brain caused by general breaking down of the sys- tenn.

BEAUTY BEAST WITH THE MIND

King George" the beauty beast with a human intellect, now 'ieatur- ing" with the Fox Film Co.,, can be seen at the, stables of J. E. Martin, north of Brinkmeyer's hotel, any day he is not working for the canvas. He is owned by Mike Brahm. who is with him here. and as yesterday was a cloudy day, King" was at home in his stall to give a few stunts to pass away the time and to entertain a few visitors He is of Arabian blood, of the stallion class, black and white in color, and as docile as a kitten, 15H hands high and weighs about 1900 pounds
 Mr Brahm stated yesterday that King" will do very clever act while in this section, taking a message in a letter to home and will crawl up a flight of stairs, knocking at the door to inform the tenant that he has something to deliver to him, while the missivc will be seen in the clenched teeth of this dutiful beast, when he will willingly release his hold, wait ing for an answer.
 Said Mir. Brahm yesterday: T have been offered time and again 5000 in gold for the horse, and had to turn it down cold. If I took the money this is what would follow: Mrs. Brahm would immediately file an action for divorce, so 1 would lose her and the horse, too, so where would I be at in the motion picture business; guess I'll stick to King" and you can guess at the rest.

those who attempt or suggested
them to instant ostracism.
History, broadly speaking,
repeats herself, but she always
does so with certain artistic vari.
ations, and the characteristic, as
we see it, of the present period of
dance degradation is that it
attacks most virulently the very
young. 1t Is striking our boys and
girls, our young women and
young men, and thus at the very
roots Of our future society.
The Infection seems to be a
kind of social Bolshevism which
appeals to the natural lawless-
ness of young adventurers in life
who thoughtlessly will dare any
peril for the sake Of immediate
excitement.
What share of blame for this
disgrace should be assessed to
parents and how much to social
conditions at large we will not
attempt to suggest, but there
seems little doubt that much of
it must fall upon the decay of
family life. The loosend bond Of
the firesido has sent the young
together with the old-to public
amusement resorts where the
sanctity of the domicile does not
protect them.
In discussing this distressing
theme The Times Picayune
speaks with deep regret out with
correspondingly profound earn
estness, for beneath the many
things that have been made pub
lie there are many more that have
not been told, that cannot proper
ly- be told, in the public print.
These are not merely isolated
instances but refer to whole
groups of facts showing the extent
to which the disease has gnawed.
The social harm must be excised,
painful as may be the cutting
