MRS. AMY G. ADAMS

The grim angel of death served its
summons upon the family of Byron P.
Adams Friday last, December 81, and
TOOK away from it the loving wife and
mother, Mrs. Amy G. Adams. Amy
Gertrude Hill was born thirty-seven
years ago at Laramie, Wyoming. At
the age of three years she was taken
10 illinois and there placed in a
Quaker family which raised her. She
later attended Carlisle and was a
graduate of the class of 1903. August
l3, 1908, she was married to Byron
p. Adams at Pender, Nebraska. To
the union three children have come
to bless the home; two girls aged ten
and three. and boy aged seven. The
deceased came to Winslow at Christ
mas time, a year ago to join her hus-
band who had located here. Since
then she has by her quiet demeanor
and her evident love of home en-
deared herself to the people with
whom she became acquainted The
funeral services were held Monday at
two o'clock at the Episcopal church
Rev. Gray, pastor of the church, Of
fciated, assisted by Rev. Martin of the
Christian church. The deceased was
member of the Episcopal church
having joined at Carlisle, and was
devout Christian throughout her life
Mrs. Adams was a talented musi-
clan and with her husband had on nu-
merous occasions furnished musical
programs of excellent merit for en-
tertainments in the city. In her death
she will be missed by many people,
but particularly by the sorrowing
husband and the bereaved children
for the place of wife and mother is
vacant. The welcome smile is gone
the sound of mothers voice is
stilled, and council of trusted wife
has been taken away, and yet it is the
Interchangeable law of events. God
knows the best, and safe in his be-
lief We must wait the time when all
earthly things shall be put aside and
the curtains of the future lifted.
To the bereaved husband, who is
all employee OF the Mail office, the
sincerest sympathy is extended and
the many acquaintances of the family
join in these expression of con-
dolences for both husband and chill
dren in their hour of greatest sorrow

INAUGURAL BALL AT PHOENIX

In order that there may be no mis-
understanding among the people who
desire to attend he inaugural ball at
Phoenix. January 14th, the local re-
ceptlon committee want it to be under.
stood that it is not a party affair in
any degree. 1t is the desire of the
inaugural committee which is COM
posed OF 400 citizens of the state. to
extend to the Chief Executive the
courtesy which is customarily shown
one in his position by the other citi.
zens of the state. There is no parti-
san politics injected into the affair in
any manner whatever, and it Is the de-
sire of the promoters to have as big a
representation from out of town
points as possible The inaugural
ball is not Phoenix or Maricopa
county affair. They have nothing
more to do with this ball than any
other section of the State.
These matters have been called to
the attention of the local committee
which consists of Ross G. Bazell, M.
D., c. j. Spellmire, E. A. Sawyer, John
N. Gruhl, w. A. Parr, VIM. H. Dagg,
Robert Powell, C. D. Richardson and
A. l.. Doolittle. 7. NJ Quebedeaux is
county chairman. Holbrook and
Snowflake have their own local com
mitttees.
The committees throughout the
state are being called upon to CO.
operate in the disposal of tickets for
this state affair. Proper delegations
are wanted from every section of the
state. No donations have been asked
from any companies or private citi-
zens and the expenses of the ball will
be met entirely through the sale of
tickets. There can then be no criticism
of the affair and those who purchase
tickets will receive their value through
attendance of the ball If there be
any surplus left over after paying the
expenses of the ball, it will be turned
over to the state charities. The sue
cess of Arizona's first inaugural ball
depends upon the activities of the
various committees in the sale of
tickets. Local people who are contem-
plating attending should interview
member of the committee which has
been named above and arrange for the
purchase of tickets.

FOUR JUSTICES IN ONE MONTH

The official office of justice of the
peace for Winslow has been much
juggled in the last few weeks. The
death of Judge Mahoney, who had
the expiration of the term of office
acquired through prior election, left
the board of supervisors open to ap-
point justice to succeed to the office
for the unexpired term. w. A. Paul
was first appointed by the board but
he could not qualify because he was
then state senator and there seems to
be a law which prevents a state SEN
ator from resigning and he could not
hold the two official positions. The
board then appointed John L. Sweeney
who has since presided over the local
of supervisors got into action Monday
last, petitions were presented to the
board for the appointment of justice
Of the peace for Winslow to fill the
elected term of Judge Mahoney, de-
ceased. This term began with the be-
ginning of the new year and the new
board named R. B. Walton for the
job. Judge Sweeney refused, how
ever, to turn over the office, main
tanning undoubtedly that the appoint
ment by the former board of supervi-
sors to fill the unexp1red term of
Judge Mahoney applied likewise to
the term to which he had just been
elected. A writ of mandamus was
issued on the 3rd instant, also an al
ternate writ, and we are informed
that service had been made. Judge
Sweeney has ten days in which to
answer when the matter will be de-
cided by the courts.

LET'S BE Up AND DOING

Reports from the oil fields are COM
that the present development work in
the field is intimately to accrue to
the great benefit of this entire sec
tion of the country. WinslOw is des-
tined with the bringing in of a pro-
ducing field to be one of the big cities
of Northern Arizona. This is not only
true because of the promising oil
fields, but also because of the greattr
certainties Of the reclaiming of the
lands of the Little Colorado River
valley that lie adjacent to this
city. This reclamation is but a
matter of time and the earnest and
active cooperation of the people OF
this city will do much to hasten the
day when these stretches of land will
become productive and of greatly in
things are not accomplished in mo-
ment, neither are they accomplished
by a lassitude on the part of the citi-
zens who are to receive the greatest
benefit. To hasten the day when the
benefits of this landed area will accrue
to the community, every citizen should
put his shoulder to the wheel and
urge upon the powers that be the
needed progress that should be made
at their hands A willingness on the
part of local people to accept their
share of burdens and obligations of
the preliminary work will do much
toward obtaining the government aid
that is needed in bringing into pro-
ductivity this area of the Little Colo
rado. There is no time to start a
thing better than the present. The
quicker force is placed behind the
movement the quicker will be the re-
turns to all concerned. Let us get
ready to go. Hold up your hand as a
signal of willingness to get into the
harness and pull your share of the
load.

UNFORTUNATE KILLING OF A
PROMINENT CITIZEN

| Fred Croxton, forest ranger, sho
and killed Charels Quayle at tb
Quayle ranch about thirty-five mile
southwest of here Wednesday after
room. The body of the deceased va
brought to Winslow by brother
Arthur Quayle, who owns on adjoin
ing ranch. The circumstances sur
rounding the killing as nearly as cal
be CLEANED at the present writing are
that Croxton called at the ranci
house of Charles Quayle and aske6
him about some wood which he ha(
been hauling and where he had cut 1t
IT is stated that Mr.. Quayle pointed
out the lines of his ranch and thai
Croxton then continued on to the
ranch of Arthur Quayle. Later he re-
turned to the Charles Quayle ranch
anc with Quayle went out to the barn
yard and hog pens. A. l.. Swanson Of
this city, who was visiting at The
1dnch, heard the shots and saw Crox-
ton riding away. He then went out
and found Quayle in the yard. The
brother, Arthur, was notified and thl
Dody brought to Winslow, where il
arrived about seven o'clock Wednes.
Gay evening. Croxton after the shoot
ing teIephoned the sheriff of CoconinC
county at Flagstaff that he had killed
Quayle and that he was coming in to
give himself up.
Judge r. j. Kidd, with jury OF
Flagstaff men, arrived Wednesday and
viewed the body Thursday morning
leaving Immediately afterward for the
scene of the shooting, where the case
will be submitted to the jury for a
verdict. The jury was accompanied
by G. B. Wilson, attorney for Croxton
and also by Assistant Solicitor Bro
theirs of Forest Service from Albu-
querQue, N. M.
The Quayle brothers have been re-
sidents engaged in the stock business
in this section of the country for a
number of years. The deceased leaves
widow and two children, resident
of this city.
Croxton, who did the shooting, has
been in the ranger service, we under
stand for sometime, and is also well
known in this section. Both men have
good regulations and as it is apparent
there were no close witnesses to the
shooting, it will necessarily take the
evidence that will be introduced at
the trial before judgment can be
passed. Croxton is not making any
statements. The affair occurred in
Coconino county and the preliminary
examination will be held undoubtedly
at Flagstaff. 1t is an unfortunate af-
fair and there are many expression OF
sympathy for the parties concerned.
