ONLY ONE OF ORIGINAL
 GLOBE PIONEERS LEFT

Uncle Billy Ransom, of Globe, is the only living member of party of seven hardy pioneers who made their way into Globe just 46 years ago. Uncle Billy Ransom, Doc Hammond, William Reed, Monument Buck, man by the name of Rambeau, Doc o. Dougherty, and Hunk-a-dora Holmes were the seven trail blazers who camped on the present site of Globe, January 15, 1874. Monument Buck, Doc O'Dougherty and Hunk-a-dora Holmes came over from Florence and Uncle Billy and his three partners came in from New Mexico. Both parties arrived here the same day and as Uncle Billy puts it, There was nothing here but the country"
 Uncle Billy and his fellow travel CTS settled here and the little settle ment gradually increased in numbers until in 1876 the population had grown to about 100 people, The settlers held a meeting then and decided to name their little town after the orig inal "Globe Mine"-hence Globe was christened.
 Gradually the little settlement in creased in size and population until the seven sturdy pioneers of 1874 were lost among the tumult and rusl that followed the silver rush of '7s and '79.
 Six of the pioneers who blazed thu trail into Globe in 1874 have passed into the great beyond-Uncle Billy Ransom is the sole survivor.
 Besides being the oldest resident il this district, Uncle Billy is the oldes living member of the B. P. o. Elks On July Fourth he will celebrate hi. 90th birthday.-Arizona Record.

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE LN THE STATE
MISS MICKELSON IS
 MARRIED IN PRESCOTT

City Engineer Tom Macleod, of Jerome, has borne the reputation for, To, these many years, of being a man hard as adamant and as insusceptible to the softer joys of life as was ever an anchorite who fled to the deserts to escape the wiles of the opposite sex. He began to lose that reputation about year ago when he was ob- served to have spruced up, learned to one-step and fox-trot and generally to have launched himself on a career of social dissipation. The climax, not unexpected, came Monday when he and Miss Minnie Mickelson, one of the accomplished and highly popular teachers of the public schools, just quietly disappeared in the general di- rection of Prescott where, it is re- ported, they were joined in the bonds of holy matrimony and are now spending their honeymoon at Los Angeles. Everybody in Jerome is anxious to extend felicitations to the popular couple and their real joy will begin when their friends get hold ot them on their return, the date ot which is not made public.-Verde Daily Copper News.
 Miss Mickleson is also very popular in Flagstaff. She was graduated from the Normal school here in tht class of 1918.

A STORMY COURTSHIP
 AND A QUICK DIVORCE

Alleging that her second husband,
 Fred s. Ellis, married her in order to get his hands on the property left by Clayton Wilson, her first spouse, Mrs. Irene Ellis, of Jerome, has filed suit for divorce.

FRESH BRANDED ORPHAN
 CALVES GO TO STATE

Freshly branded calves found moth. erless on the ranges of the state are subject to seizure by the state author ities, there being statute to that eff feet for the protection of the stock men from the depredations of cattle rustlers, according to Secretary Edw. w. Stevens of the livestock sanitary board. A case of this sort was heard at Congress Junction this week, he said.
 According to the secretary, there are cattle rustlers who make point of locating unbranded calves on the range, cutting them out from their mothers, driving them. far away and branding the calves for themselves. This being the case, he says, there is usually occasion for suspicion when motherless calf is found freshly branded. The rightful owners are al lowed to recover such calves by prov ing ownership.
 Various means for proving own. ership are available, according to the secretary, one method being to give the calf chance to recognize the al legged mother. It is claimed that a calf will run to its mother even afte, four months of separation.

MARICOPA SHERIFF
 TRAILING A CANARY

From trailing suspected murderer through the night hours to chasing a festive canary bird from bough to bough might require stretch of the ordinary imagination, but such versa tility of talent has been attributed to the Maricopa sheriff's office by one Alhambra spinster.
 She called up Sheriff Montgomery and with tears in her voice entreated that he send deputy to find her lit- tie Billy" The sheriff's office became duly exercised at the recital of her woes, for dear little Billy, the com panion of her heart, had suddenly dis appeared without leaving a single clue behind.
 Murder, abduction, ransom, all ran through the minds of the deputies who had been sitting around the stove waiting for something to hap pen. When it became known that the missing Billy was canary bird, there was a sheepish silence. Then Deputy Dewitt, of sleuthing fame was detailed to take up the trail. But little Billy has not been located.
