Rancher's Throat Cut

Word reached here last Friday
 that C.. R. Chafin, rancher of
 Linden, had his throat cut by w. L. Thornton, another rancher of
 that district, and that the wound
 ed man could not recover. All
 kinds of reports were going the
 rounds as to the cause of the diff ficulty and it was not until Sun
 day that anything like the partic- ulars of the affair could be ascer- tained.
 It seems that the trouble arose over a money settlement, the par ticipants becoming so enraged that a fight ensued. From reports Thornton went after Chafin with a knife. the latter trying to keep him off by tapping him on various spots of his anatomy with a six shooter, until a much harder tap than any previous ones caused Thornton to let up. About this time Lewis Hunt, who was near by blowing, arrived on the scene; and Chaff1n exclaimed that his throat was cut and to get him to a doctor. An automobile shortly afterwards came along and the wounded man was loaded into it and taken to Cooley. Chafin' s throat was cut from his left ear lobe around quite a distance on the right side of his neck, and it is said it necessitated sixteen stitches to close up the wound. The wounded man is getting along nicely and was able to re- turn to his ranch Wednesday.
 Sheriff Newman and deputy Will Cross came up from Hol- brook and placed MT. Thornton under arrest and he was taken to the county seat. Thornton had his preliminary Tuesday and was released on account of the com plaining witness not appearing against him. Thornton was, however, placed under a peace bond, we are informed.

Kills Big Bear Near
 Zuni Oil Well

One of the big bear stories of the season comes from out near the Zuni oil we'll. Carl A. Griggs, driller for the Zuni. went on a hunt last week, and that he was successful is demonstrated by the fact that he killed a mammoth brown bear, weighing about 385 pounds. Mir. Griggs got in one shot at MT. Bruin, which wound ed the animal, who in turn gave battle, but a second shot quickly dispatched him. The skin of the bear greatly adds to the Griggs collection, which includes a cou- gar. several coyote and another bear hide. The bear was tracked in the snow by Mir. Griggs about a mile north of the Zuni drilling rig, in the heart of the Painted Desert. .-Holbrook Tribune.

The Need of an Education

To know the need of an educa- tion, one must first know what it is. There are SO many people who think they are educated, and yet cannot define it. The modern World Dictionary tells us that it is properly educating, leading out, or drawing out the latent powers of an individual. From the phil osophic point of view everyone is educated. His powers being de- veloped for good or evil by all he sees, hears. feels or does. Edu- cation Tn this sense begins when one enters the world. and con- tinues all the time he is in it. In more specific sense. it is used of a premeditated effort on the part of parents. teachers and profes- sors to draw out ones intellectual and moral endowments, encour- aging what is good to oneself and society, and discouraging what is hurtful. With this is combined an effort to give more or less of technical training to fit the schol- ar or student for the occupation by which he desires, or is likely, l to support himself in life.
 To gain an education then it is necessary to go to a systematic day school, a secondary school and a university. There are few who do this. Those who do, are instructed, trained and taught. They become refined and cultured. |
 Common school education has greatly developed in the last half of the past century, particularly in the United States. Art and industrial education have been added, with very gratifying re- suits. This is day and age of education. No one can compete | with the battles of life if he has no education. The world is ad- vancing and one must keep up with the times if he is able to hold his own and get his just dues.
 The person who is educated can be distinguished from the one who is not and will always be in the lead. He will get the posi- tion because he can do the work the best. If anything is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well, and it is the one who can do it we'll that will succeed. The one who can not do things well will be left in the dust. So it is time for every individual to be- come educated, he needs it, and can not get along in the world without it.

THE OZARK.

MT. Ru1uS nulSey OI OprlnReEVllle, who has been subscriber to the HERALD flor many years, was in the city this week on business. He was pleasant ecaller at the Herald office and again re- newed his subscription. He is one of Springerville' enterprising stockmen.
 The following may be of interest to some of the farmers in Apache County: The Federal Loan Act which has been pending a decision in the courts has been declared constitutional, and those who desire to improve their farms can now borrow money to do so.
 The Relief Bill, which, we are inform ed was introduced by W. A. Saunders, Apache County's Senator, has passed both houses. The bill provides that the farmers under the Lyman project shall be released from paying interest on the money borrowed from the state, up to and including 1925 This will certainly lift a load from the shoulders of the farmers under this project.
 Harvey Platt, son of Mir. and Mrs, Henry J PIatt, of this city, was very seriously hurt last Mon- day afternoon while enroute to Edgar to help out with the music for the opera which was played there Monday night. Harvey's hat blew off his head when near the Becker Lake and he jumped eff the truck on which the party were being conveyed to Edgar, to get it and the driver, Albert Farr, started to back the truck, so that Harvey would not have so far to walk, but in making the jump he fell backwards the wheel of the truck struck him on the right side of the head cutting and bruis- ing his head very severely and severed one ear. He was taken to Springerville as quickly as pos sible and Dr. Kaufman was call ed and did all that he could to re- lieve the suffering of the unfortu- nate boy. At this writing we are informed that he is getting along nicely.
 "The Fire Prince" opera which enjoyed a splendid run here in St. Johns last Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, where the house was filled to overfowing and some went home because they were unable to get seats, was the biggest event ever pulled off in St. Johns. The opera was under direction of Prof. J. Alfred An .derson, assisted by his wife and other able assistants. Many in St. Johns attended the perform ance every night that it was play ed here and said they enjoyed it better each time Monday night it was staged in Edgar, where it was again enjoyed by a big audi ence. Much credit is due MT. Anderson and those who have worked so hard to give us this excellent entertainment, and those who took part are to be compli- mented on the excellent ability shown in the respective parts.
 w. B. Farr, the well known stenographer, who left with his family for Denver some time ago, has returned to Holbrook and will remain. The family will occupy the residence of Walter Fergu- son in the Clark addition. The people generally will be glad to hear of the famiIy's return and of the fact that they will remain here. .-Holbrook News.
