C.P. SILVERNAIL
 DIES SUDDENLY

c. P. Silvernail, for many years a resident of Williams, passed away suddenly Saturday afternoon at his home here. He had'laid down on his bed to take a nap and probably never woke from his sleep. His sis ter, Miss Lillian, who lived with him, heard slight noise in his room and when she reached the door she saw that her brother had quietly slipped in- to the world beyond. Dr. JefrieS was summoned at once. When he arrived he gave it as his opinion that death had re- suited fom apoplexy.
 Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church and inter ment was made in the local cemetery.
 Commodore Perry Silvernail was born in Massachusetts and there he spent the early part of his boyhood. Later he moved to Missouri where he attended school and was admitted to the Bar at the age of 21. He came to Arizona in 1890 and since that time has been a resi- dent of Williams almost con- tinually. He was joined by his sister, Miss Lillian. a few years after his arrival here. Broth CT and sister made their home together here until the time of MT. SilvernaiPs death.
 MT. Silvernail was formerly a prominent and active citizen of Williams. During the last few years he has confined his efforts to his own private busi- ness as a lawyer and real estate agent. He made many friends here by whom the word of his sudden demise was received with deep regret.
 Two sisters surviv Mir. Silver nail. One, Miss Lillian, is well known by all residents of Will Hams. The other sister lives in Indiana but was on her way back home from a visit to Cal ifornia at the time of her brothers death and could not be reached by telegram to tell her of her brothers death.

HEALTHY INTEREST
 SHOWN IN ELECTION

A very healthy interest in the towns affairs was shown by the voters of Williams at the polls Monday. A total oi three hundred votes was cast and the lowest man on the los ing ticket lacked but a few of high man on the winning ticket two years ago. Dr. Melick, high man of all those voted for received over twice as many votes as were cast at the cleo tion two years ago. A lively election of this sort shows a keen interest in municipal af- fairs on the part of the citizens of the town and that is always a very healthful sign.
 Two full tickets were placed in the field: The Citizens Ticket and the Taxpayers Tick ct. The Citizens ticket won but the Taxpayers ticket was in the race and showed strong support. The majorities of the winning candidates gave in diSputable evidence that they are the choice of the citizens of the town and they will go into office with the assurance that strong majority of the citizens of the town want them there. This is much more encouraging to public official than the small vote which was cast two years ago. The Candidates and their respective votes ap-

WILLIAMS LOSES TO
 WINSLOW 3 TO 1

Shaul's terrors journeyed to Winslow last Sunday, only to fall before the Winslow Slug gers, in one of the hottest con- tested games of the season, the kind which only the old timers can remember. Score Winslow 3 Williams 1. Shill worked the entire route for Shaul allowing his opponents only 6 measley hits, three of which were of the scratch variety. tSlim" the Oakland wonder, twirled for Winslow and had the Williams heavy men eating from his hand all the way, that underhand de- livery baffled our bunch com pletely.
 Bobby Burns, Winslow's lead off man cracked Shill's second offering for the circuit, this should have been an easy out however had not Shaul lost the ball in the sun and ran in too far, then in the 3rd inning with a man on first and third, Clarke stepped to the plate with his usual amount of confidence, and when the man on first start ed for second Humphrey start ed to cover, but Clarke grasped the opportunity and slipped a single thru the space left un- protected by Hump. They got the breaks all the way, but that is part of the game and we lost, that's all.
 Winslow will play a return game here on June 4th, and look out for we are after you next time, everybody get out and yell.

Kills 1900 Pound Bear.

Joe Lucas, one of the famous hunters about Williams. bagged a big grizzly bear down in the e'vcanonre Convon last week. Report has it that the monster plantigrade weighed 1900 pounds. While the News has not been able to verify this report, yet from some kodak films which Lucas sent in to MT. Bothe for developing, it is plain ly apparent that the bear was an unusually large one even for grizzly. This is perhaps the bear which was hunted last fall and winter by number of different trappers and hunting parties.

MRS. MERRITT RESTS
 BENEATH THE PINES

Mrs. E. H. Merritt died sud- denly from heart trouble at her home here last Thursday. She was apparently in very good health the day before her death and had felt only slightly i'll during Thursday morning.
 She had been suffering somewhat from heart trouble eral years ago.
 Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Tues day morning after which inter ment was made in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. The Masons and the Eastern Star assisted in the services. Mrs. Merritt had stated some time previously that she would like to be laid at rest in the pretty Williams Cemetery when her call came, and accordingly she now rests beneath two beauti- full pines on a lot there.
 Her death came as a great shock to her husband and to her many friends here, none of whom had thought of her as being in critical health.
 Mrs. Alice z. Merritt was born in Kylertown, Pa., in 1870. She spent her girlhood at her home there and was married at the age of 23 to MT. E. H. Merritt. After her mar riage, she and her husband spent seven years in Winburne, Pa, where a son, Gilbert, was born to them. They later moved to Dryad, Wash. They lived near that place until a little over four years ago when they came to Williams for the benefit of Mr., Merritt's health. MT. Merritt was troubled with asthma. The change proved a greater help than they had dared hope for and made MT. Merritt a sound man again. Here Mrs. Merritt lived a quiet and peaceful life with her hus- band until the time of her death.
 Mrs. Merritt was a devout Christian altho her close at tention to her husbands health kept her quite closely at home. She never had anything but oood to say of anyone and won the warm affection of all who came to know her.
 Mrs. Merritt is survived by her husband, MT. E. H. Merritt, by an only child, Gilbert of Washington, and by three brothers and two sisters. All of her brothers and sisters save one, s. R. Hoover of Washing ton, still reside in PennsyI- vania.
 The funeral which was held on Tuesday, was delayed in the hope that Gilbert might come but he was prevented from doing so because of sick ness.

PAVING BIG QUESTION
 BEFORE COM. CLUE

Shall the property owners, along the Old Trails Highway pave? That was the main topic considered at the Will Hams Commercial Club :s the meeting May 18th. C ptain Wright, surveyor and CT ~--ineer; was closely connected with the work of paving at Flagstaff, and is undoubtedly in a position to know. more about the prob lems confronting us than any other man available. When Flagstaff paved the Govern ment furnished only fifty per cent of the cost, up to the cost of forty thousand dollars per mile. Now under a new act we are entitled to sixty one percent of the cost of paving up to forty thousand per mile- The thirty nine per cent and any costs over and above the maximum figure stated above would have to be born entirely by the property owners abut- ting the improvement. Cap tain Wright was unable to give us exact figures but the esti- mated cost would varv accord ing to the width of the pave ment, from three to six dollars an abutting foot. Definite fig ures will be read at the meeting June 1st and if you area prop erty owner, it behooves you to be present and voice your opin- ion in order that the recom- mendation of the Commercial Club to the Council may be the opinion of the property holders on the Old Trails Highway.
 M. B. Startzman, for seven years closely connected with the Yuma Commercial Club gave a brief talk and promises real speech for the meeting June 1st. He was unable to get all the data at the last meet ing, but the summary of the material he will cover at the next meeting promises a real live wire, full of facts and pep, speech. Do not fail to be there and hear what a Com mercial Club did for a town as unfortunately situated and re- puted as Yuma. He stated in his summary, if a Commercial Club can do for Yuma, what all who are acquainted with the facts must admit 1t has done, what cannot a real Commercial Club do for a town with the natural possibilities of Will Hams.
 Larry Williams, M. B. Startz- man and Dr. E. A. Miller were appointed on a committee to get out simple bulletin as to what we have in the way of pleasures. scenery and also what are the possibilities of making a home and a living. Other people appreciate the fact that we live in a country that they have to pay quite a sum to see, and there are thou sands of people, who would be a blessing to any community, that would gladly come here if they were only aware of the opportunities that awaited any ambitious hard working per son. As we grow we prosper and our property increases in value. Help us grow.
 As was stated in a previous issue. every citizen or resident of Williams is member in good standing, but you cannot vote or talk unless you come to the meeting. Exercise your right, the same as you exercise your right as a voter, come out and help us shape the destinies of your and my city, Williams Women are respectfully in vited.
