OBITUARY.
MRS. ABBIE S. ROBINSON

Mho. ABblE d. ROBINSON.
Ellsworth lost one of it's most es-
teemed elderly women in the death
last Friday morning of Mrs. Abbie
s. Robinson, widow of Edward F..
Robinson, ST. The end came quiet
ly, after months of gradually fail
ing health.
Mrs. Robinson was born in
Brooksville December %, 1843, a
daughter of the late Erastus Red
man, but Ellsworth had been her
home since childhood, when her
father was elected sheriff of the
county, and the family moved to
Ellsworth.
In early womanhood she was mar
ried to Mr.. Robinson, and this es-
timable couple enjoyed a compan-
ionship of more than fifty years.
Mr.. Robinson's sudden death on
June "a, 1917, was a severe shock
to Mrs. Robinson.
Mrs. Robinson was a member of
the Congregations church, ani for
years was one of the most active
workers of the society. She was a
woman of noble character, devoted
to her home and family.
She leaves three children-Mrs
Charles S. Bragdon and Mrs. Thomas
P. Innes ofBrockton, Mass, and Ed
ward F. Robinson of Ellsworth. OF
her fathers family, two sisters and
brother survive-Mrs. Margaret
r. cole of Pawtucket, r. l., Mrs.
Frances r. Keene of Providence, X.
l., and Erastus F. Redman of Dor
chester, Mass. The two daughters
came to attend the funeral.
The funeral was held at The home
Sunday afternoon, Rev. r. b.
Mathews officiating. The bearers
were j. A. Cunningham, H. w.
Haynes, W. A. Alexander and E. c.
Osgood.

position to the ratification of the
suffrage amendment has developed
in New Mexico. according to Alice
Paul, chairman of the national
woman's party. and is threatening
the enfranchisement of women in
time for the fall election.
"Our poll of the New Mexico leg
islature," Miss Paul stated. shows
a majority in both houses and
month ago the state seemed very
hopeful. In the last two weeks,
however, the opponents of the
measure haVebeen very active. The
democratic state chairman of New
Mexico, when in Washington, stat
ed that the democrats are prepared
to give all but three of their votes,
This means that if the measure is
defeated it will be due to lack of
support from the republicans"
The sudden growth of opposition
in New Mexico has given rise to
charges from the suffragists in that
state that the republican party plans
to make New Mexico the joker of
the ratification campaign, and hav-
ing called a session to let the meas
ure be defeated. thus imperiling
women's enfranchisement.
With the three victories, New
Jersey, Idaho and Arizona, thirty
one states have been secured to
suffrage and five are still to be
won. The states in which suffra-
gists believe their best chance lies
are Washington and Oklahoma, full
suffrage states, West Virginia, Del
aware, Vermont and Connecticut,
where the legislatures are known to
be friendly, but the governors so
far have refused to call special ses-
sions.
Miss Paul further discussing the
present situation. stated
Neither party is meeting its re-
sponsibility as energetically as the
situation demands. Four republi-
can governors are refusing to call
into session legislatures which are
known to be in favor of ratification.
Two democratic governors, whose
legislatures would vote for the
amendment, have refused to call
special sessions and one democratic
state is now in session in which

3 MOUNTAIN LIONS
KILLED By NAVAJO
INDIANS A. RAMAH

Especial Correspondence 10 H., JBaWaAl
hannah, y, NJ, Fel DIS Navajo
Indians have recently kIlled three
mountain lions in th4s neighbor-
hood. One was killed on the
Crockett range south of Ramah,
another north of Ramah on the
Carr range and another near Pts
cado on the Zuni Indian reserva-
ton. One skin measured twelve
feet from tip TO tip and was re-
ported to be the largest lion ever
killed in these woods. 1t took
three grown Navajos to lift the
carcass into a wagon and was al
most the size of a circus lion from
Africa.
They have been killing colts
mostly, but a few calves are also
reported to be their victims.
The Indians coming in to the
trading posts here say there are
five more in the country, which
conclusion they come to from the
tracks in the snow. =..
The annual election of the
Ramah Land and Irrigation COM
pany, which owns and operates the
community reservoir, resulted IN
the election of Athlin Bond, prest-
dent; Paris Ashcroft, secretary,
and c. w, Davis, manager, They
have chosen John Tenny as water
boss for the coming season.
There is more water in the reser-
voir than ever before. The melting
SHOWS in the Zuni mountains have
filled it to capacity The reservoir
is 500 yards wide, over a mile long
and some thirty feet deep and is
by far the largest body of water n
Mckinley county, and waters this
valley, which is the most intensive
ly farmed valley in the western
part of the state.
Another effort is being made to
have Judge Neblett appoint a
United States land commissioner
at this place, which is forty miles
removed from the nearest land
commissioner and it is almost i'm
possible in winter weather to get
witnesses over the roads to trans
act business before a land commits
sioner.
There Is some desirable land here
for homestead yet, but it certainly
is inconVenient to travel forty
miles to a land commissioner, who
is located at Gallup.
Dry farmers are expecting an
other bumper year, owing to the
extremely good winter and spring
Some have been blowing for a
