Mir. Reed who owns a b i g ranch near Dry Lakes vas in our city this week. He YVES acting as a reception committee for a couple of thoroughbred two year old Hereford bulls that had been shipped to him from Missouri. These Herefords have W jnderfully good points and Iook as if they had just stepped out of the illustrated pages of some Stockmen's Journal.
 Mr. Reed informs us that he has some two hundred head of cattle of about the same grade already on the ranch. The Here. lords excited a great deal Of interest when they were exhi- blted on RiiIroad Abe. last Tues d ny.

WATER TANK LEAKS

Leaks having developed in the cement storage tank on the hill, pumping had to be stopped for the time being. MT. Orman, the Denver con- tractor, IS expected in Fri day morning. It is to be hoped that he will be able to remedy matters satisfact- orily.
 The water mains have all been tested and only one large leak, so we are told, near the Hi School, has de- veioped. When the water was first turned into the pipes and the hydrants open ed it was amusing to see the compressed air rush out that is, we didn't see the air, but we did see all the dust and iron rustit brought with it. Then later the pipes were washed out with water.

WILD, WILD WINDS MAKE WILD BALLS
 AND BOY 5

Old man Boreas sent all the winds of heaven shriek- ing down on Arizona last Saturday and thereby sadly disarranged a perfectly good baseball game. Winslow Hi team met the Holbrook Hi team on the Railroad City diamond for the first game of the season, and it was SOS. for ours.
 The Holbrook Battery composed of Louis Divlebess and Arnold Lee as pitchers with Joe Koury behind the catchers mitt, are some husky lads but in spite of their good work and t h e support of the team, t h e adverse conditions were too much for them and the final tally was Winslow 20--- -Hol- brook 10.
 But the team put up a good scrap. and there are other times cominp How the boys managed to play at all in the dust is a mat ter for wonder. Perfectly good strikes got so much curve on them from t h e wind that they were turned into balls and might have been called balloons. Any way they blew up! The game had a surplus of wild, wild women, wild balls, and wilder boys.
 Next time we play in such a wind storm we'll hoist the sos. signal right at the start. It can't be did.

NINE LIVES SNUFFED OUT FRIDAY NOT ONE
 SURVIVES

Last Friday afternoon while engaged in a rather prosaic search after the un- offending "bunny" a party of Holbrookites made an un- expected bag of larger game.
 Mrs. w. w. Franklin and children, accompanied. by Mrs. Toeile and her son, drove out near the Buck place on the La RiouX Wash Friday afternoon on rabbit shooting bent. In search of the timid game Mir. Toelle was skirting the base of the rock cliffs along the hill when a sound attracted his atten- tion, and looking up he saw a 1.-the figure outlined again. st the brown of the stone. A shot directly to the heart and the snarling, splitting mass of teeth and fur and claws, lay limp at his feet.
 Closer examinations prov ed that it was a good sized wild cat, with a beautiful pelt. At least this is the story of the killing as told to the editor, but truth com pels us to state that when we saw the big cat it was lying dead at Mrs. Toelle's feet in the car and Mrs. ToelIe was holding in her hands the gun, a 22 Reming- ton that had done the deed. Anyway, we are sure of this, even if the cat did have nine lives, they were all gone then.

THAT'S ALL 1 KNOW
 ABOUT IT

We are entirely willing to admit our benighted ignor- ance when it comes to a matter of law. But this last week we received a lit tie free tutelage in that line when we accepted an invit- ation from our friend Judge Sapp to be present at a case tried in the Justice Court late last week. The plain tiff in the case was Mrs. Lunsford and the defendant was Mrs. Rowena Woods.
 It was our first appearance in the Justice Court and we were all eyes, but aside from the fact that werecog- nized presiding Judge Easley and are rather familiarly acquainted with the defend ants attorney, c. H. Jordan, we are rather vague in our minds as to just what trans pired. We don't believe on the whole though that either one of the attornies would have the temerity to argue with their respective wives as they did with each other.
 But at last we heard the Judge say that the case was dismissed and in the words of a dusky damsel who was a witness; "That's all 1 know about it.

MARVELLOUS MARY GARDEN SINGS ON
 EASTER SUNDAY
The Famous Prima Donna Delights Large Winslow
 Audience

It is rarely indeed that a celebrity, especially a musi- cal one, is also what is gen. erally referred to as human. But charming Mary Garden proved an exception to the rule when she graciously sang a selection for the en- joyment of the crowd gath cred in Winslow to greether train on it's arrival from the Coast. Miss Garden and company were en route to Denver where they were scheduled to appear in Grand Opera.
 Standing on the observa- tion platform of her car, Mary Garden herself, sang Coming Through The Rye"
 Two of her company, Miss Maxwell, and Miss Pavloska sang"The Last Rose of Sum- mer' and Mighty Lax a Rose". The great singer further showed her thought fulness when she bestowed an Easter egg on Walter Belding who was in Winslow with his parents. The fin est are often the most con- siderate. Many have heard Mary Garden of the incom- parably golden voice through the medium of the phono- graph but few in this west ern country have had the privilege of hearing and see- her in person.
 Wm. J. Plant told us that Miss Garden seemed to en- joy the experience as much as did the crowd. Her eye was particularly taken by the picturesque cowboy on the outskirts of the crowd who offered to sing, "Oh, What a Pal was Mary"
