TRAGIC DEATH OF MIR. A. E. THINNING IN PINTO ON WEDNESDAY EVENING
Falls from Windmill Tower Never
 Regains Consciousness

One by one of the Old Guard of Navajo County are answering to the call of their Great Commander. Among the early residents here Mir. A. E. Henning will be we'll remembered. Despite the advancing years MT. Henning was hale and hearty. It was but a few days ago that he was in Holbrook visiting with his friends. Then came the "last clear call" for him.
 Wednesday evening the sad intelligence reached Holbrook that he met with a fatal accident. Mir. and Mrs. Lloyd Henning and Dr. Bazell drove up to Pinto immediately upon receipt of the news but were too late to see Mr. Henning's father alive.
 Late in the afternoon MT. A.E. Henning climbed the windmill tower at the ranch house in Pinto and fell re- ceiving injuries from which he never regained consci- ousness and which caused his death at seven-twenty the same evening.
 Mir. Henning leaves a wife and three children, Mir. Lloyd Henning, Clerk of the Superior Court, Mrs. Loy Turbeville and Miss Marbry Henning. T h e funeral will be held in Hol- brook, but the exact date will not be decided upon until word is received from Miss Marbry Henning who is at present teaching.
 The sympathy of the en- tire community goes out to the bereaved wife an d family.

SOME QUICK WORK

Monday just about dusk, Deputy Sheriff o. c. Will Hams picked up a couple of young fellows in a Stude- baker roadster. He had been wired from Williams to intercept them, an d promptly got on the job. Deputy Sheriff Campbell of Williams came up on No. 10 and returned with the two suspects on No. 21. A truck tire of dubious owner ship was the cause of all the trouble. The young man MT. R. Brownelly of Long Beach, Calif., insists that it IS all a mistake and due to the actions of another bunch with whom he and his pard. ner Mir. Antoine Bectel camp ed while in Kingman. He returned with the sheriff to straighten things out.
 MT. Williams also has a suspect in the case of the murder in the box car near Sellgman, under watch. The Sheriff from that place came in Wednesday to look, him over. It was a most brutal murder, committed last Sat urday, by a man about fifty years old on a young boy who was riding in the same box car with him.
