WEST SENTENCED TO HANG ON
NOVEMBER 4

Theodore West the man who con-
fessed to killing Lem Smith on July
20 received the death sentence at
his trial Just completed at Kingman.
An appeal was asked but was denied
November 4 is the day set for his
hanging and he is now in the state
prison at Florence
It will be recalled that Smith and
West were travelling overland to
California from Brownwood, Texas.
Smith was wealthy oil man. Aft
er committing the murder West fed
to California. He was closely fol-
lowed by Sheriff Mahoney of King
man and only a few days later was
lodged in the jail at Kingman.
Many see in the quick justice met
ed out to West an indication of the
growing determination of the law
abiding public to put an end tosuch
deeds by means of prompt and sure
justice. It is quite generally felt
that too many criminals have been
escaping punishment and that more
rigid law enforcement is needed to
combat the crime wave.

WINSL0W BOY BROWNS IN RIP
TIDE AT SAN DIEGO

Los Angeles, Aug 25-George F.
Stockton, aged 25 years and resi-
dent of San Diego, California, was
drowned at Oceanside Beach last
Sunday afternoon For almost an
rip tide while three frenzied efforts
were made to rescue him. When
the attempt to reach him with life
preservers failed, boat was launch
ed but shipped 50 much water that
no headway could be made. In a
last effort to get to the helpless man
the boat was ballested with sand
and it was thought that he would
be saved; but before the boat was
near enough to aid him, Stockton,
weakened by his efforts sank while
his horror stricken mother Mrs. F.
M Stockton and daughter, Mrs. J.
D. La Chance looked on helplessly.
Searching parties watched the shore
line all night long but up to last
night the body had not been recov-
cred.
Young Stockton had narrow es-
cape from death during the world
var when the cruiser San Diego was
sunk off Fire Island in New York
harbor. At that time he was in the
water two hours and a half before
he found piece of drift wood to
which heclung nine hours longer
before being picked up by steam
er. When pulled aboard he found
his hair had turned almost white as
result of the ordeal. He rose
from second class seaman to a
Lieutenant Ensign, commissioner
officer and man who was loved by
all his shipmates
He served his apprenticeship as
a machinist with the Santa Fe rail-
way company of which part of the
time was spent in the Topeka, Kan
sas shops and the rest at Winslow,
Arizona
He leaves to mourn the loss his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. F..
M. Stockton who reside at San Die
go, California; also his sister, Mrs.
J. D. La Chance of Winslow, Ari-
zona
Stockton was employed as a ma
chinist in San Diego, and has a host
of friends who regret his untimely
death.
