SUICIDE OR MURDER?

Alejandro Marquex, a Mex can sheep herder died at his home here last Saturday night, as the result of knife wounds. | A coroner's jury called over the case rendered verdict of "ap- parently suicide. Many friends of Marquez insist that he must have died at the hand of an assassin.
 It was near midnight Satur- day night when deputy-sheriff Campbell reused Judge Me Dougall from his SIumbers and together they hastened to the home of Marquez in answer to an urgent summons. They found Marquez dead from six knife wounds, five inflicted on the left side and one on the right. A coroner's jury was called immediately despite the late hour. An investigation was made that night and again by daylight later. On Tues day the jury reached it's yer dict.
 Mrs. Marquez and daughter CeSC1Hed that a quarrel had taken place the evening of the suicide-or murder, and that both had left the house and come back later to find the hus- band and father dead.
 Many rumors and stories were set a1oat by friends of Marquez and in order to investigate these to find if there was any thing in them, County Attorney Gold, court interpreter Priest and Dr. Felix Manning came down again Thursday to inves- tigate. No proof of murder could be found altho the cir cumstances still leave room for doubt as to whether this was a case of suicide.
 The coroner's jury was com posed of R. M. Reese, Geo. L. Barnes, w. K. Case, H. billy, l.. J. Button, and Charles Proc tor.
 Marquez was a sheepherder employed by Fletcher By.

MEXICAN BAND MAKES
 BIG HIT IN FLAGSTAFF

Prof. Avalos' band made a big hit in Flagstaff last Satur- day night and Sunday after noon. The band went to Flag staff Saturday in a special car secured by manager Lot Con gales and returned the same way Sunday night. Nearly thirty of the boys succeeded in getting off for the occasion. Led by Manager Gonzales and Prof. Avalos, they made a very striking appearance and their music was at it's best so that withal they quite won the Flag staff public. They have been invited to return to Flagstaff for another band concert at an early date.
 Williams is justly proud of the good work being done by the new band. The concerts given locally are becoming in creasingly popular, and, hap oily, the support of the band is more liberal.

DID IT KILL THE APPLES?

The many large apple trees in Williams were loaded with bloom week ago. Tuesday several inches of snow fell, most of it melting as fast as it fell, and Tuesday night quite hard freeze resulted. The temperature fell decidedly be- low freezing both Wednesday and Thursday nights. Seem ingly this should be sufficient to freeze all the apples, but a few are maintaining that very small per cent of the apple blooms will probably survive the wintry weather. While the snow benefited the range the loss of fruit is a great dis appointment.

 Coleman Lake can be made with little work, one of the most delightful and scenic lakes, in the Sierras.

The ball of progress which has been resting rather peace fully for the past two years while the citizens of Williams took good long snooze, was given sudden jolt by the en- thusiastic session of the Boost ers' Club last week Thursday, and is now rolling along up the hill of accomplishment with two score of Williams enthus- lasts giving it the impetus that promises to keep it moving. More than twenty citizens were out and all of these showed themselves anxious to see measures for the benefit of the community forwarded at once. From the time Chairman Ham, ilton called the meeting to or der until the motion for ad- journment was passed, there live topic was kept constantly before the house and many steps were taken toward for warding the development of the community. Below are enumerated number of the subjects upon which definite action was taken.
 One of the most crying needs of Williams is sidewalks that will enable person to go about after dark without en- dangering life and limb. The city is responsible for any damages occurring on any side warlks within it's limits. We matter in hand and not only start a campaign for better sidewalks but to enable a per son to build cheaper and with less guesswork. A committee was appointed composed of F. E. Wells, James Gilson and Ed Hunter to investigate and re- port on materials and cost of putting in good sidewalks. A copy of this report will be sub mitted to the council and also read in open meeting May Is. Where can the best sand, cement and other materials be obtained and at what price? W I1dI O1lOoAo C1lC SOOI O1 sidewalks per square yard ap- proximate? And any other information that might be of value to the prospective side walk builder. Any informa- tion that you can give any of these committeeman will be appreciated and used in the final report.
 Adequate sewerage disposal is problem of no mean impart- ance, especially in view of the fact most sewers have to be blasted out of solid rock. A septic tank cannot dispose of any great amount of water when you only have to dig a matter of eighteen inches, in many parts of town, to find a i hard pan that will turn the water right back to the sur face. A committee Prof. T. H. Cureton, Robt Burns and A. M. Root was appointed to investi- gate this problem and report. Any aid given the above com mittee will be appreciated.
 One of our greatest assetts, and one to which we have paid the least attention is the tour ist. If we should provide good camp grounds, not only

ECONOMY IS SLOGAN
 OF TAXPAYERS TICKET

The Taxpayers ticket for town council at the coming cleo
 tion has adopted the slogan,
 economy" They feel that
 the greatest need of Williams
 at the present time is economy
 in all city affairs and they are confident that if elected, they
 will be able to make many
 savings of city funds. The
 five men on this ticket are:
 A. F. Poison,
 J. J. Gilson,
 R. R. Powers,
 B. F. Sweetwood,
 Otto Lebsch.
 Each of these men is a tax
 payer and a freehoIder. Each feels a personal interest in the progress and prosperity of the town. All five have served the town in the capacity of pub lie officers in former years and all feel confident that they will be able to be of real service to the town, again, if elected to the town council.
 A. F. Poison has been a resi- dent of the town since it was first incorporated. He has held office under the city before and believes that he can serve the city we'll as a member of the council if the voters favor him with election at the town election May 22.
 J. J. GilSon is another old time resident of the town. He is now proprietor of the Will Hams Garage and feels a keen interest in the progress of the town. He is an expert in mechanical and electrical prob lems and his supporters believe that his ability in these lines will prove especially valuable to the town in view of the many problems facing the light and water plants in the town.
 R. R. Powers lately proprie- tor of the Cottage House and a property owner in the town, mas won considerable fame for his reading particularly along legal channels. He has many warm supporters whoclaim that his wide knowledge of municip- al problems will make him a very valuable servant, as a of the town council.
 B. +. Sweetwood is one of the community's most successful business men. He is a large owner in the town and owns large ranch and stock holdings in the country near Williams. He feels a particu- lar interest in the business man. agement of the town and if | elected will gladly use his best business judgement in helping manage the towns affairs. lie IS keenly interested in the nun lclpal light and water plants and believes he can help put 1 both of these on a sound foot ing.
 Otto Lebsch has served on the council before and has a practical knowledge of the of a councilman. He wants to see the municipal business handled as carefully as private business would be, and believes he can offer some suggestions which if adopted oy the council will put the streets of the town in much better condition. He knows hat the life of a councilman is } troublesome one but he is to stand the grief which s handed to every councilman n the hope of helping the city.
 These five men offer their services to the public and soI1c- t the support of the voters and particularly those who believe n more rigid economy in city affairs.
