JAMES FERGUS MAHONEY

| JdIleS FERGUS MsnOHcy, LOT CulfCy-
seven years a resident of Winslow
and one Of the most prominent men
at his residence in Winslow His
sudden demise came as distinct
| shock to the community, as it was
| not thought that his short illness
was of such serious nature
Mr.. Mahoney was born in Delaware
Ohio, in 1855, one of seven children
AT an early age he left home, and
following the practice OF those days
| came west and came into Winslow in
1886 when the Atlantic Pacific built
west from Albuquerque During the
early days of railroading he helped
to establish the first B. of r. B.
Lodge, which is now the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, and afterwards
was one of the charter members of
the Order of Railway Conductors of
which he was member as we'll as
secretary at the time of his death; he
was also charter member of the
B. P. 0. Elks, and for many years was
an active member of the Masonic
Lodge No. 13, F. A. and A. M.
In June, 1888, he was married to
Julia Helbert of Copper Hill, Missou-
ri, and Of that union were three chill
dren, Desmond, Willmae and Bessie,
who died several years ago. He is
also survived by sister, Miss Julia
FL. Mahoney, who is resident of
Winslow
After leaving the services of the
Santa Fe he was appointed superinten-
dent of the Arizona Industrial School
then at Benson, Arizona, by Governor
Joseph H. Kibbey, which position he
held for eight years, resigning to re-
turn to Winslow where he opened an
Insurance and General Brokerage
office; prior to this, however, he had
held many positions of trust in the
territory before Arizona became
State.
For the past two years Mr. Mahoney
had been Justice of the Peace in VIM
slow, and at the time of his death
was entering upon his second term,
having just been reelected for the
next two years. He was legislative
representative to the ARIZONA State
Legislature in 1915 and 1917 for the
Brotherhood of Railway Conductors
from Winslow, and to his efforts were
the Full Crew Law, Electric Head
light, as we'll as the minimum wage
for women, are due. He was also
chairman of the Republican County,
Committee, and during the World
War was United States Food Admins
traitor for Navajo county.
Mr.. Mahoney will be greatly missed
by not only the people of Winslow but
by prominent men and women
throughout the entire State of AFi-
zona. He was friend to all during
his lifetime, was light to which all
people might go to in time of trouble
knowing always that they would be
sure of finding succor from him.

The Germans say they will not
agree to the article in the peace treaty
relating to their former colonies. One
can imagine what lind of treaty the
United States would make with the
Huns, were the separate peace" idea
to be adhered to by the next president
and congress, and it either will have
to be separate one unless the League
of Nations is ratified by the senate.

WlNSLOW HIGH SCHOOL TAKES
UP CHALLENGE BY PRESCOTT

Statement Both Sides of Controversy
The Prescott high school has been
barred from the State Athletic Asso-
clatton because of breach of contract
with the Winslow school, The people
of Winslow will remember that Pres
colt Cancelled the football game she
was to have played here on Nov. 6.
The local school had made all ar
rangements for the game, but the
game was called off by Prescott on
less than two days notice. This was
done in violation of the rules of the
Association. Now that Prescott has
been thrown out she tries to prove
an alibi.
Prescott's side of the case is stated
IN the following article from the
Journal Miner:
The Winslow mail., 1920-12-10

The following was written in reply
to the article in the Journal Mine1
