DOUBLE HEADER AT
 PRESCOTT LAST WEEK
Lost to Badger and Badgerette but when they come here revenge we'll get!

If one changes an ol,; saying to read "It is better o have l played and lost than l yer to
 have played alp, one cypress
 es the feeling exactly that the l Williams High School girls
 have about the game at Pres colt last Saturday night for this is the first time that the girls teams from the two towns have ever met. The "Badgerettes" have good team as they should because of the schools large enrolment. They have a
 large group of players to choose from, but even with this decided advantage the local girls expect tostake the badge" from "bagerette" when they visit Williams on or about March third.
 The boys game proved 8 sur prise for the Badgers for their prey was not as easy to swallow as they had supposed and even though the Williams five didn't succeed in ''tying the animals tail" they gave it quite severe twist and expect to put on few finishing twists when the game is returned February IT.
 Prescott proved themselves good winners by entertaining both teams with a properly chaperoned Paul Jones" at the "Owl". after the games where the sorrow of defeat was soon forgot.
 Those making the trip were: Miss Pauline Jones, Miss Lillian Edna Edwards, Olive Margaret Duffeld, Anona Sellman, Eloise and Ern estine Sullivant, Elizabeth, M Margaret and Denman Griffith, Mona and Ora Conway, Ray mond Rupe, Richard and Ross Cole, Arnulfo Luna. Walter Jesus Quijada, Mr. Britt and MT. Cureton.
 This week end the Winslow five will be here to get revenge for the game the local boys took from them on their court, and next Friday, Feb. 10, the Emerson High boys of Flagstaff will show. the local fans their speed.

WOMAN KILLS LYNX
 CAT WITH P PISTOL

Mrs. V. H. Merritt while riding among the foot hills of Bill Williams, one day last week killed a large lynx She was armed only with a "22" calibre pistol but her aim was so good that she quickly dispatched the big cat.
 Mrs Merritt is an excellent shot with most any kind of gun. Few men have better success than she at shooting quail and doves on wing: With a rifle she makes a good score at long range. Only recently has she taken to using a pistol The pistol which she uses is an auto matic recently presented to her by her husband. While it is only twenty-five calibre, it is far more deadly than the ordi- nary twenty-two for it uses a special cartridge and has long range.
 The lynx killed by Mrs. Mer- ritt was the first member of the wildcat family that she has killed, but it is not her first big game. She killed a deer last deer season.

4O BELOW AT BELLEMONT

The mercury dropped to forty below. at BeHemont, Thursday night. At Challen- der 34 below was the minimum temperature. At Williams the comparatively high temper ature was IS below. Now if the temperature dropped off 36 degrees between Williams and Bellemont, how much cold CT do you suppose it was at Flagstaff, ,. twelve miles farteher east than Bellemont? The elevation of Flagstaff and Belle mont is about the same. Fifty below is probably a close esti- mate. Reports from Flagstaff naturally minimize the mini mum so that they admit only 20 below.

Not an Irnposter.

ANot 0A1 IPOStSks
 A heavily bearded man ap- Deared on the streets of Will Hams the first of the week and declared himself to be MT. Will liam Hochgraef. For a time it looked like a. case for detec- tives. Could this be some inn poster who had made away with Bill and was now. en- deavering to impersonate him Further questioning proved be- yond doubt, however, that the new man is MT. Hochgraef. It will be remembered that Bill left several, months ago for Martins dam, to spend few months in the open in order to better his health. He declares that his health has improved a hundredfold and anyone who takes a look at him will be forced to agree with him. The beard unknown before. gives the, finishing touch of huskiness Mrs. Hochgraef and the child ren arrived Thursday to join their husband and father here.

Did the Ground Hog See His Shadow?

If he did we are in for six weeks more. of winter. But did he? The sun was out clear and bright. all right, buy did the little four-legged weath- CT prophet get out? If he happened ID be under one of the four or five foot snow drifts. we'll wager that he did not get out and consequently could not see his shadow. On the other hand if he happened to have his den in one of the spots blown clear of snow by Tues- days "ale. he sauntered forth to brilliant sunshine. There is lust one,wav to find out. That IS watchful waiting. If win ter stops we will know his home wasunder a big snowdrift. If winter continues we will know that the wise little rodent fore told the big storm and made his home in spot which the wind blew bare.

THE WEATHER
ruary

l It's a lovely snow storm that .ve have been having the last .. few days. Three feet have fallen and it seems like it is just getting started. The present indications are that our orange crop is damaged about fifty per cent and that we will
 have shortage of cherry
 blossoms next month. The
 gentleman that came here to
 open the B. V. D. factory is
 Ia1ready on the road to ruin
 and we believe that the muni-
 cipa1 swimming pool will have to close for want of patronage. Lyle Button has been acting as
 traffic cop at the corner of Bill
 Williams and First Streets and
 it is hard to see him, even though the City Council have had constructed for him, ten foot high platform from which to direct the traffic. On the way to the postoffice Tuesday morning Shorty Ladd got lost in a snow drift. A force of men have been mining for him for the past three days and haven't located him yet.
 There was quite a sight this morning when the Eskimos came in with cargo of seal skins and fish to trade off for ear muffs and hard coal They were in a hurry to get back home as they are not accustom- ed to so much snow.
 If the same storm had hap pened last year of course the NATIONS would have been the cause. But of course the League of Nations is dead so the BIG FOUR, Dis armament Conference must be he real cause. Anyhow the only living animal that will be ble to see over the snow will be a giraffe by next Monday, if ] continues.

NEW LAW ON ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK
 ON MINING CLAIMS.
Attorney General Calls Atten-
 ticz7 To Changes n Law.

Much discussion has been go ing around the mining camps with regard to the interpre- ta ation of the new federal law regarding the time in which the annual labor work must be done on mining claims. The matter was brought to the attention of w. j. Gal braith, Attorney General, and in the discussion he called at tention to the law, which in substance and effect reads as follows:
 ''The period within which
 the work required to be done
 annually on all unpatented
 mineral claims located since
 May 10, 1872, shall com
 mence at 12 o'clock noon on
 the first day of July after
 the date of location of such
 claim, provided that on all
 such valid existing claims
 the annual period ending
 December 31, 1921. shall
 continue to 12 o'clock noon,
 July l, 1922"
 MT. Galbraith said that in his opinion this law should be interpreted in the following manner:
 That on all claims where. under the old law, the annual work should have been done on or before December 31, 1921. the owner of the claims shall have up to noon. July 1, l 922. in which to do his work. Tn other words, all claims To- cated in 1920, or before. the have until July 1, 1922, in which to do their an- 1ual work. All claims locat-, ed on and after January 1, and l before noon, July 1. 1921, the 1 claimants have until noon. Ju- y 1. 1922, in which to do their work. All claims located on md after noon, July l, 1921, | he claimants have until July 1, 923, in which to do their an lual work.
 Claim owners are warned to 1 ,e very careful in complying with the terms of this law, otherwise they may inadver- ently expose their claims to laim jumpers, and thus lose heir valuable property rights.
 MT. Galbraith asks that this natter be be given the widest publicity possible for the pro- ection of claim owners in Ari- ona.

CALVIN M. WOLFE

1 l Old-time residents of Williams learned of the death of Calvin i M. Wolfe in Phoenix, Arizona, on January 2Oth. While he l had not been seen on our streets
 for the past four years, still all ! of them recalled the last time not many years since when his
 manly, athletic figure was one of the leading ones in the wei fare and development of the community.
 As former member of the school board and also later as a member of the town council, no one took a livelier interest
 in the civic affairs of the town
 than he did. When he enjoy
 ed good health, which was up - to within the past four or five
 years, his good, sound, common
 sense was often sought and
 could be relied upon by those
 associated with him in the man.
 agement of our public affairs.
 Never of an ostentatious nature,
 but rather of retiring dispo-
 sition, he was a man who made
 and retained many friends, and
 it was these who sorrowfully
 followed his remains to their
 last resting place last Wednes-
 day.
 Calvin M. Wolfe as born June 2Oth., 1859, at Grinnell. Iowa, where his parents, Eli Wolfe and Harriet Pere Wolfe lived all of their lives. In 1882. when 23 years of age, he enigrated from Iowa to Ness county, Kansas, where he met l and later, in 1885, married Matte Caufman, daughter of the late Jacob Caufman. As a result of this union and dur | ing their residence in Kansts, | five children were born to them , Fred, Corbett, Lloyd and l Frances Harriet who is now Mrs. Ross z. Towery. In 1896 the family came to Arizona. arriving in Williams on July 5th the day after the great fire, when the business portion of the town was completely wiped put. When the family step- ped from the train nothing but he smouldering embers of the business houses of the town hat was to be their future nome greeted them. Here hey have lived ever since, and 1ere to MT. and Mrs. Wolfe were later born four more ;hildren: Fay, Campbell, Percy md Leona.
 Immediately upon his ar ival here, MT. Wolfe entered nto the railroad contracting ] business under the late R. B. ] Burns, chief engineer of the { santa Fe coast line division. { Ie continued in this business ntil about 1900, when he pur- hased the "Bow B" cattle out it from the Bennett Cattle i Company. He ran this outfit successfully until 1905, when
 e sold the same to Melick 6 and later purchased he "J. D." cattle, which he :, lso sold to the Johnston Cattle , Company and then purchased ', he Sid Putnam. outfit in Putnam } alley, which latter outfit Mrs. Volfe now owns.
 In March 1918. after MT. Wolfe had been physically in- apa citated from attending to is business for some time: he yent to the state hospital at Il hoenix, where he made little I for the better. <, nd where he finally died on :, le 2Oth instant. Mrs. Wolfe i, 'as attending a local lodge T. leeting when'the sad news of z Ir. Wolfe's death was com ie lunicated to her, and she and o oc CT son. Corbett, left immed- = tely the next day to bring the si emains to Williams whoro. s, fter services at the Methodist 7, they were inferred in Y, dd Fellows Cemetary. h
