WILLIAMS K. P'S CELEBRATE
 9TH ANNIVERSARY

Monday was great day for the Knights of Pythias of Williams, as well as for the K. P's throughout the nation. In honor of the 57th ami versary of the organization of the or der, banquet and dance had been planned and the function proved one of great credit to the committees in charge.
 A hundred Knights from Williams and nearby points, assembled at the castle hall, where fitting ceremony in commemoration of the organization of the Knights of Pythias, was car ried out. A telegram from Grand Chancellor J. A. Gilbert, of the dis trict of Arizona, was read, in which he conferred his blessing upon the Grand Canyon lodge, admonished them to remember the significance of the day and to renew their determination to keep the faith and vows of the or der A very impressive address was delivered by Frank H. Davis, who proved himself no mean orator.
 AdjouIning from the Castle the knights assembled on the dancing floor below where near a hundred la dies and friends were already gather ed, and there spent a number of hours in pleasant social intercourse around the card tables and on the floor. Delicious punch served to en- liven the spirits of all.
 But, beyond question, the most de- lightful feature of the occasion was the lunch-worthy to be called ban quet--served by the ladies, in the rooms above.
 The revived Grand Canyon Lodge No. IA, of the K P. continues to grow in membership as do the members in enthusiasm. and gives promise of far excelling in strength and good works the record formerly made by thi. lodge.

Petions signed by several hundred residents of Jerome asking the board of supervisors of Yavapai county to take cognizance of the alleged ,fric- tion between deputy sheriffs and the city police in Jerome, were presented to the supervisors.
 The filing of the petitions with the supervisors is the result of alleged friction between two deputy sheriffS and Jerome police officers which re- gently caused delegation of Jerome men to ask that the deputy sheriffs be taken off duty. This Sheriff War ren G. Davis refused to do, calling attention to the last campaign in which one of the points used in the fight against him was his alleged re- fusal to appoint score or more of deputies.

LESSER EVIL

Pilson, the village grocer, and his better half were on a visit to their son and heir, who was captain of the school cricket club. The occasion was an important match, and as play did not cease until late, Pilson prevailed upon his parents to stay till Monday.
 The worthy son the next morning Sunday accompanied his parents to church, where Pilson senior, thorough ly disgusted the congregation by join ing in the singing and chants with a voice which almost drowned the organ.
 Young Pilson was furious. After church he said to his father:
 Dad, do hope when you come again you'll sing bit lower. Every body was grinning at you"
 "lt's all right, my son, it couldn't be 'elped," said Pilson senior, quite seriously. "You see, if l hadn't ighered my voice they 'eard your mothers"

BORDER AVIATORS EAGER
 TO TRY CANYON FLIGHT

Border aviators are waiting with eageness for the order from the war department, which will assign one of their number to special service at Grand Canyon. The nature of the service is out of the ordinary, even for aviators, who are constantly doing the out of the ordinary, and each is hop ing to get the opportunity to be first to fly over the mightieSt of gorges and test out the air currents which have caused the skeptical to doubt that flights across the canyon can be made in the manner that the war depart ment has undertaken to show.

He did so and I am enclosing to you with the request that you point The Sun toward w. A.

Maxwell intimated that he would like The Sun a little better if you would manufacture it on back slant machine similar to this one of mine.
 l forgot to mention that me an a couple other democrats more or less got politically licked at the polls last November. This explains why l am not addressing you from Phoenix. The cows and calves smiled when they heard the news. They like to have me with them.
 Sincerely yours,
 ALEX. J. MCKAY.
 P. S.-Looks to me as if your Co., conino county sheriff deserves high compliments for his good work in the Schwab case. It seems as if he is filling the position plum full without any shortcomings. Also, The Sun man Whoever he may bel deserves unlim- tied credit for extracting that con fession. It might not have been forth coming if Nash had had time to re- fleet and consult his attorneys.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 LIVE STOCK LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards, Eeh'N 21. 1921

 Beef Cattle.
 Fat cattle today sold at practically the same prices as late last week or 90 to 75 cents higher than a week ago.

(. B. WILSON WILL
 DEFEND HARRY NASH
Continued from page 1.)

get here for the preliminary hearing this week, County Attorney F. M. Gold has postponed it to next Friday, March 4th. It probably will be held at 10 o'clock.
 The following letter from Harry Nash to his home folks was printed in last weeks Hillsdale Review: Flagstaff, Ariz., Feb. 2, 1921. My Dear Sisters and Brother: received all of your most loving and cheering letters, but will now try and write you a few lines to let you know l am still alive, as l suppose you know anyway by the letters from the folks.
 Yes, this is an awful thing to be in, but we all make mistakes, and 1 guess this is the one God involved on me, to make me have a different view of the world.
 He has made me realize there are other things beside worldly pleasures to seek, which l have now had my eyes opened to.
 l will now tell you just how ] came to confess. Tuesday night after l ar rived at Flagstaff l was getting ready for bed and decided to have a prayer before l got in bed. l prayed as l never prayed before and then l broke down and cried l didn't know what for at the time, but did that night. l had one of the queerest dreams, it didn't seem like dream, but real talk with somebody, and here is what he told me.
 "A man can sin in this world and be forgiven in the eyes of God if not in the eyes of the people," He said: Harry, confess this and thou shalt be forgiven of thy sins"
 So ] woke up and nobody was in sight. Then it was as a dream, but l knew it was more than a dream. believe it was God answering my prayer of that evening, and l am still praying every night.
 So the next day couldn't get it off from my mind. l was going to call them in, but l didn't have to. Pretty soon after noon they came in, the sheriff and two other men, but it was the hardest thing in the world for me to confess, but l did, and told them the truth, but they don't believe me, but sisters and brothers, there is One who knows l told the truth, and hope you all believe me. If you do that is all that matters to me.
 They can do whatever they please with me, but no matter what they do they will not be able to change my mind as it is now set, for believe God will do what he sees best now.
 Dad left here last Saturday morn ing for Santa Barbara to- see mother and Herbert, but will be back next Fri day. Peggy is here with me; she's a big comfort to me, she is certainly standing it like brave little woman. It shows what a woman will Io for her husband. So please write to her all of you, as she can't stand through it all by herself.
 Your loving brother and sister,
 HARRY AND PEGGY.
 This is for all of you so please ans ver, all of you.
 Tell MT. Newport I received his let ter and will answer pretty quick. but tell him to write again even if he loesnt receive mine first, as they all help me to brace up and face it as should. HARRY.
