OF POLICY is
PROTESTED BY COMPANY

/, The body of the late w c. Il. Pruitt
who died August 16 following the am.
putation of his left foot which was
shattered by an accidental gunshot
wound, was exhumed yesterday and a
post mortem held at the request OF
the United States Fidelity & Guaranty
Co, with whom Mr.. Pruitt held a
$500 accident policy. DR.. II. J. Kav-
anaugh. city physician, who conducted
the post mortem, made confidential
report to the company.
Whether Mr.. Pruitt died of embol-
ism, or blood clot, as the result of the
accident, or whether his death was
due to apoplexy or some other cause.
is the point raised by the insurance
company, according to J. H. Raley. at
torney for Mrs. Pruitt, to whom the
policy is payable.
The cause of the death was given as
a gun shot wound, with embolism as
the contributory cause. In the opin-
ion of the physicians, such embolism
was induced by the gun shot wound.
and in this case the accident would
be the direct cause of the death, it is
alleged.
1t was announced this afternoon
that life insurance policy for $25,-
600 carried by Mr.. Pruitt lrad been
paid.

LOCAL FOLK ASKED TO
SEE FIRST NIGHT SHOW

Local patrons of Happy Canyon are
being urged to purchase tickets and
attend the opening show on Wednes-
day night in order to leave for out
siders the seats available for the three
nights of Roundup proper. The ad
vance requests from out of town for
Happy Canyon seats, especially for
Friday and Saturday nights, have been
SO heavy that the directors are work
irg every way possible to induce local
people to see the show early
With slightly more than $500 re-
served seats in the grandstand it was
a problem except on the first night
last year to handle all who wanted to
see Happy Canyon. This year, with
new scenery and improvements in
the program, it is expected that a rec
ord demand for seats will be had. Ad-
vance indications point that way, di-
rcctors say.

"A Man Who Will, if Elected, Be Governor of ALL the
 People"

That is what the friends of Mulford Wnisor have to say a. bout him, and that is precisely the sort of a man that is needed for governor of Arizona. All too frequently, the men elected to public office represent but part of the people. They are there for some certain class or clique of special interests and the balance of the public suffer as a consequence. Usually the men to suffer are the small bus mess men, stockmen, farmers, and laborers. They are too busy to play the game of poli- tics, and all too frequently they poll their votes for men, who, when elected, will work directly against their interests. However, they need not always vote thus blindly. A man like Winsor who has held public office before, must leave re- cord behind him, and by this record, he may be judged.
 Mulford Winsor's strongest recommendation is the record he has made as State Senator and formerly as Land Commis- sloner. He has shown himself a capable executive, fair in his dealings, deliberate in his act ions and firm in his decisions. He has stood consistently for whatever he has considered to be to the best interest of the people in general, and he has often found opportunity to pro- tect the interests of the general public as against the special interests.
 A vote for Mulford Winsor is vote for a real democrat "who believes with the faith of religion, in the principle Of equal rights of all and who ab- hors special privilege in all it's

MEMENTO OF OLDEN DAYS
 FOUND IN MEXICAN SHACK

A few weeks ago, MT. H. M. Stark, while looking thru an old Mexican shack in the west part of town, ran onto silver whiskey flask. On one side of the flask he noted the engraved initials, X. N. S. The very un- usual initial ".X" led him to take the flask to X. N. Sleeves, who recognized it as one that had passed out of his possession eighteen years ago. By what strange route this flask found its way back to Williams will probably never be known.
 The flask in question had an interesting history while form erly in the possession of MT. Sleeves. It accompanied him to the top of Mt. Hood and of Mt. Helena and also went with him to Manila, New Zealand and India. Many were the oc- casions when it supplied liquid stimulants for the weary and added cheer to a circle of mer- ry-makers.
 It was the year 1902 while the Judge was in Phoenix that the flask disappeared from his room, never again to be seen by him until found by MT. Stark. In the room. along with the flask was a Bible. Both were taken. The Judge sus- pected negro porter, of the theft. and, meeting the porter the following day, the judge asked him if he ever read the Bible where it says. "Thou Shalt not Steal" The porter beat retreat that left no time l for an answer.
 Restored again to it's rightful owner, the flask again rests in his home, a mute reminder of the cheer of the days that will never return.

roo MUCH DIFFENBAUGH

I'll heading Ol IulS dEt.ClC On- nlains one of two contributing causes that cost I ,arry Williams All-Star base ball team the game with Battery A team at Flagstaff last Sunday by a score of 2 to 1. The other "fea- ture" was Ruby Sullivant's fail ure to hold third base aftei hav- ing singled, and stolen second and third.
 The game was undoubtedly the best from an artistic stand point played in Arizona this year, but was marred by the action of the Flagstaff manage ment in changing umpires in the 9th inning, replacing Nc Milan, of Kingman, the field umpire, with Diffenbaugh. who never should be allowed on the field when Williams is ore of tEe competing teams At least three of the decisions made by htm were absolutely wrong, ard were sufficient to prevent the Williams team from win nirg.
 The score stood l to 0 in fa- or of Williams fror: the second inning to the seventh. In this inning, Flagstaff tied the score on three successful singles off Dean one Cf the.e being a gift rom Differbaugh May with a quick 1,.tturn atte,nr:ed to slip a strike over on Sullivant, and he pickled t for a single to ce?- .nr. After Rector had been re- tired for the secon', out, Sulli- watt stole second, and in going to third had the throw from Browning beaten. but instead of hitting the dirt and sliding into the base, he went into it standing up, and as a result ov- er-ran the base and was tagged out. In the last half of the eighth, Flagstaff was able to score one more run. and this was sufficient to cop the game, as Williams was unable to score in the ninth.
 The work of both teams in the field was remarkably fast, and time after time Dean, the Williams pitcher was saved from disaster by the lightning fast work of Sellman, Sorey, Rector and Anderson. who made what seemed impossible stabs and catches.
 May, the Flagstaff pitcher who has heretofore been the easiest kind of a proposition for the Williams team, pitched a good game, keeping the seven hits we'll scattered, and was in serious difficulty but once in the game. and then was saved by Diffenbaugh.
