Thirty-Five Years Ago.

From Fearld File. Nov. IS. 1886
 In this issue the Herald speaks of the tumult of political broils being hushed, the wrangling and feverish excitement, incident to an election in which the resources of prudence, tact and political finesse have been exhausted, have subscided, and in the calm reflect ion which follows the intense activity of the past few weeks, 1t might be a source of profit to direct our attention from a retro spect of the past to the plans and purposes of the future.
 Ike Ellinger, whom we report ed in our last issue. as having been shot by Lee Renfro, died from the effects of his wound on Monday, November 8 at Spring erYille. Ellinger is spoken of as one of the most harmless and in- offensive men in the country.

Shocking Crime at
 Fort Apache

One of the most revolting cases of it's kind occurred last week at Ft. Apache. Private Jackson, who was a prisoner in the guard house, was ordered to the gar bage dump on fatigue duty. Pri- vate Washington. his guard, on seeing an Indian woman ap- prOach, handed Jackson his revoI- yer, ordering him to hold the gun at the womans head while he ravished her. Washington then took the gun and intimidated the helpless woman while Jackson committed a rape.
 The charge is denied by the prisoners. but the government in- vestigator who was called into the case says that unimpeachable evidence pointing to their guilt is now in his hands. The case will be taken before the grand jury at Globe early in December. r.-Hol- brook News.

BIG RACES ON
 THANKSGIVING

Final arrangements are being made for the auto races to be run on Thanksgiving Day. The first prize will S500.00.
 Last nights mail brought a let ter from Gallup guaranting that two cars will be here and assuring us that two others were coming.
 Gordon Parks and Jack Odell have charge of the list for the raising of S25O.O0 and are asking one hundred people from St. Johns to pledge $2. 50 each in case it is needed. The list is nearly com pleted.
 The track has had considerable work done on it and ought to be in fine shape for the races on Thanksgiving Day.
 Doubtless there will be some fast driving. Jack Odell is build ing a car that should be 10 or 12 miles faster than the Jennings car. But Jennings is also doing something to his car. While Cor don Parks is afraid to turn his loose. And Gallup are all at work on their cars. We hear it rumored that two cars are being quietly fixed up in the south end of the county and others from Navajo are talking.
 The races will be arranged to work harmoniously with the high school meet here and a wonder ful time is anticipated in St. Johns for Thanksgiving Day.

Party at Mormon Church

Under the auspices of the so- cial committee of the L. D. s. Church, a most successful party was held in their edifce last We'd nesday evening. Fortunate in- deed for those attending, the method of payment was two cents per inch around the waist on en- tering the hall. One can hardly condone this lack of money in- stinct on the part of the ladies in this materialistic age, for had they asked payment after the lunch was served, the grasping money-lender would never have been able to foreclose on the old homestead Old fashioned dances only, waltzes, schottische, quad- rifle and others used by the h. dians in the early days were twirIed by the enthusiasts. Songs, impersonations and recitations enlivened the evening and the grand finale was the feed. -Hol- brook News.

 HIGH SCHOOL Big Athletic Meet Here Thanks
 Giving Day

Thanksgiving Day promises to be one full of excitement for St. Johns people as there will be auto races in the after noon, and one of the best athletic meets ever held here. St. Johns High School will defend it's honors against Sno wfake Academy and our neighbors, the Round Valley High School. in Volley Ball, Tennis, and boys and girls Basket Ball. There will be at least two and possibly three volley ball games: the St. Johns boys will try their game with the Snowflake boys, and then their sisters will see what they can do to the Snow flake girls, and then the St. Johns High faculty will demonstrate their know ledge of the game against their col leagues, the Snowflake Pedagogues. These games together with special student body Program will be given at the High School auditorium at 7:3O Wednesday night, Nov. 23.
 Thanksgiving morning will open with a bang with a special Pep meeting and parade of all contestants and stud ents, led by the high school band. The parade will start from the high school at 8:3O O clock and immediately after this will come tho tennis matches, both singles and doubles, in which the St. Johns and Snowflake boys and girls will contend for supremacy.
 At Il o'clock the first of the series of basket ball games wiH be played inthe Dreamland hall. The teams which will play will be decided by lot and will be announced later.
 From 1 o'clock until 5;3O there will be nothing on the Athletic program so as to allow all to take in the races at the race track.
 At 5:3O another bashet ball game will be played, and then from7 p m, until p. m. the two final games will be played.
 Three pennants are being offered by business houses of town; one is being given by the St. Johns Drug Go. to the best boys basket ball team, one from the A. & B. Schuster Co. to the winning girls team, and one from the Anderson Mercantile Co. to the school which wins the greatest number of volley ball and tennis games. It is the intention of the St. Johns Bear Cats" to keep all of these penants here.
 The following admission fees will be charged: For the Wednesday night program and volley ball games 35c for adults and 25c to students. For the tennis games 25c. and 15e. For the Thanksgiving morning basket ball game 35c. and 25c For the afternoon game 35c. and 25c. and for the two games at night soc and 35c. However, there will be a combination ticket sold to all games and programs which the High School is putting on for which the nominal price of SI. % for adults and 75c for students is asked. It is readily seen that the combination tickets are a big saving, adults saving soc and students saving 75c on the Days Program.

on the oX-cart and horse-and-buggy

The whole trouble Of .ne railroads

comfort Of travellers. This statement
must come as a surprise, aye. as a
shock, to officers and directors of the
r., F. & p. the Pennsy. the B. & O..
c. & o., A: c. /. and other lines that
run in and out of our Union station
But the Rambler feels that their in
difference to the comfort of travellers
is one of the pressing problems Of the
time. He has often felt the hardship
of this Indifference and has spoken of
it to numbers Of his friends similarly
situated and like-mi nded. They, too.
have spoken in no uncertain terms Of
the Indifference of railroad companies
to the comfort of travellers. 1t is not
that trains do not come and go on
time: it is not that the coaches ar.
not we'll lighted. heated, cooled and
ventilated; it is not that the seats in

The whole trouble is that in laying
those ties they were improperly

There is no reason why ties should

or why instead of maintaining a free
and easy natural gait traveller
should be compelled to move along
at sort of Il hop-and-skip pace. The
best friends and the most intimate

ton. Some time | am going to in

THERE is another point of indif-
ference to travellers which the
Rambler would bring out. 1T is the
lack of sociability on the part of train
