Resolutions of Respect

Caleb G. Brokaw, a faithful and
consistant member of the Rock Pres
byterian Church, beloved by the whole
congregation, an active member Of
the Board of Trustees and for many
years one of the Elders of the Church,
entered into rest at his residence near
Rock Church, Wednesday, June 21st,
1922, aged 49 years.
Whereas, In his Home Going, the
Church is conscious of the great loss
she has sustained yet rejoices in the
life he lived-and in testimony, she
greatly desires to record the appre-
citation of his faithful service and ex-
press thanksgiving to God for the
splendid example which he has set be-
fore us and the helpfulness of his life.
This church has been the richer in
many ways for the ministry of his
life. In every department of Church
life his was an earnest, active and
faithful spirit The Sabbath School
will miss his constant inspiration. The
Board of Trustees in whose labors
and responsibilities he bore such a
constant and efficient part, doing as a
| labor of love so much for the financial
betterment of the Church, will often
wish he were again among them.
The Session will miss from their
members one whose wise counsel and
constant presence was source OF
strength in all matters of moment.
Be 1t Resolved, That not only in
the midst of our grief we desire to
record our sense of great indebted
ness for his life and labors, as de-
voted member of the Church, but,
also to extend to his bereaved
family; his loving wife, dear children,
Mary, Sara and Kirk, and the devoted
and aged mother, the devoted brothers
and sister, the sincere and most heart
felt sympathy of the Congregation
Theirs is the peculiar and special
burden of personal sorrow, and in
their loss, which we will find to be
irreparable, we can only point them
to the source of strength and COM
fort which we know they will, anc
upon which he leaned. 1t was oul
hope as theirs that he might be spared
to many years of increasing useful
ness, but we turn our hearts to the
will of Him who has promised, 81
will never leave thee nor forsakt
thee" and so, endeavor with new reso
luton and courage to take up the
burden which he has laid down.
Be It Further Resolved:

 Story Of Local Activities

informed that the check was false. Just about that time NiCEols entered the Douglas Y. M. c. A. and asked Secretary Arveson for the eight dol lars Nichols said was coming to him from the Bisbee "Y'' Arveson was doubtful, so Nichols put in a long dis tance call to the Bisbee "Y" (coI- lecD and asked Rushforth to explain the transaction to Arveson.
 Rushforth quickly explained, but, in- stead of asking Arveson to give Nich- ols eight dollars, advised him that Nichols was wanted for passing an alleged worthless check. Nichols was not pleased with the way Arveson looked at him, and staged a fadeout.
 Douglas officers were given his de- scription and soon located him in a drug store where, they say, Nichols was opening negotiations involving the cashing of another check to which the name of M. w. Henry was signed.
Bisbee daily review., 1922-09-29

Photographic dispatches yesterday from Florence brought the word of the escape of three prisoners from the Arizona State penitentiary among who was Morris w. Nichols of Cochise county Nichols with two other pris- oners were furnishing the music at reception at Capt. Rynnings house on Wednesday evening and when the party broke up they asked permission to go to the lavatory, which was granted and they disappeared.
 Nichols was arrested in Bisbee in March of this year on charge Of passing bogus check. He was bound over by Judge Craig to the Superior Court and was sentenced by Judge Lockwood on March 1s to serve from two to fourteen years
 Nichols arrest was the result of the combined activities of the Douglas and Bisbee Y. NJ. c. A. secretarial forces, police forces and county officers for ces.
 Nichols appeared at tne local Y. M. c. A. and said he was an ex-service man seeking employment, and stayed at the "Y" for several uays. Then he was offered employment at the Tuck Potter ranch in the Sulphur Spring valley and accepted. The simple life didn't agree with Nichols, however.
 Later he again visited the local "Y" wearing a suit of Potter's clothing and carrying a check for IS, with the name of Mrs. Potter signed to it. Secretary E. F. Rushforth, of the "Y," inquired how Nichols had made SIS working on a ranch in such a short time. Nichols explained that $10 was far wages and the other eight dollars represented a loan from Potter.
 Rushforth became suspicious and got in touch with the Potters. He was
