A CASE OF POOR
 MARKSMANSHIP

Mr. Jesse Hulet who re- turned Monday night from a turkey hunt on which he was accompanied by his brother Ernest complains that he was off on his shoot ing, and so has to apologize for his record. We can readily see that it should be a matter of deep concern to him, and advise that he prac- tise up. He brought back a big fat turk that weighed in at the close of the round at eighteen pounds, and this IS where the trouble lies: He aimed at the creatures eye as he did not wish to spoil any of the good eating on : it's carcass and had the mis. fortune to hit it behind the . ear. eIt is surely a poor re- t, cord.

WOMAN DEAD MAN DYING IN WlN-
 SLOW SHOOTING SCRAPE Hooch and Jealousy Snuff Out Two Lives Wednesday

Winslow was mortified last Wednesday morning by the news of a deadly shooting affray which took place in one of it's down town hotels.
 The principals in t h e tragedy were Mrs. Gather inc Hungerford and Arthur Wilcox. It is said that af- ter an alientation from her husband MT. Carl Hunger ford, the woman tiled papers for a divorce, which case was later dismissed, and al- lowed Wilcox to believe that she had transferred her af- fections to him. After the divorce case was dismissed the husband and wife were apparently reconciled and when Wilcox accosted her he was repulsed.
 At the time of the murder Mir. and Mrs. Hungerford were planning to go on a hunting trip with friends and the husband was absent from the hotel making pre- paratlons. Wilcox put in his appearance and evident Iy a violent quarrel must have ensued.
 Wilcox fired two shots from his automatic, both taking effect in the woman's body and then turning the gun on himself poured three bullets into his breast. The woman lived for only twenty minutes and while the man was alive Thursday morning no hopes were held out for his final recovery.
 When Deputy Sheriff Kel. ly reached the hotel he found a 32 automatic lying on the floor of the room and induc. ed the man to make a state. ment. Upon investigation Kelly also found a gallon o1 moonshinein the room where the killing took place.
 Arthur Wilcox is a com paratively new arrival 1T Winslow and has been work ing as a steam shovel engi neer. The shooting tool place about nine or tel o'clock Wednesday morning

STAGE DARING MIDNIGHT ROBBERY
A. & B. Schusters Store Entered by Thieves

A couple of men, presum-' ably tourists since they were not afraid to leave their old clothes behind altho they might prove a means of identification, entered the A. and B. Schuster Co. Store in Holbrook during the mid night hours last Wednesday. They effected an entry by forcing a window in the of flee and then proceeded to outfit themselves from head to toe.
 It speaks we'll for the con- pleteness of the stock of this store that the pilferers were able to dress from the skin out from the abundance on the shelves surrounding them.
 When they were ready to leave they left behind them their old clothes, underwear and shoes, like the cast off skin of a snake for which it has no further use.
 The force at the store has missed nothing in addition to the clothes SO far, but with so many articles a. round it would be hard to tell at once all that had been taken.

HE WAS MISSED

We guess the whole truth IS that he was missed and he missed. Mir. Dee Dewitt who is employed in the local post office was away on a hunting trip this week, and he was greatly missed by his co-workers as we'll as the public, and as we have heard nothing to the contrary we are constrained to believe that he missed the turkey he was after.
 MT. Dewitt was acc om- panied on his trip by MT. Glenn Howard and MT. Cal vert, a son-in-law of L. s. Heward. Mr. Calvert is on a visit at the Howard home, being joined by his wife who was Miss RilIa Howard in a sojourn among the home folks.

GROUND TO DEATH BENEATH CARS
Foot Slips While Boarding Train

An unidentified man met death beneath the grinding wheels of an outgoing freight in Winslow last We'd nesday. It is supposed that the man was attempting to ride the rods and either mis- calculated his distance or lost his hold on the supports and was thrown beneath the merciless steel wheels. He was literally ground to shreds.
 LATER: Just before go. ing to press we learn that Deputy Sheriff Kelly has been able to ascertain the mans name which is Farm. CT and the further fact that the two men in company with whom he was bumming his way to California, J. s. Smith of Shamrock, Texas and Myron Standford of Revena, Texas believe that the dead mans home was in Santa Rosa, N. M. He wore a suit tailored by Meyer and Meyer of Amarillo, Texas.
 The men who were with him tried to aid him, but were unable to drag him free. He was liveralIy cut in two. The other two young men have given up their trip to California and are returning home.

FIRST CARLOAD SOLD ANOTHER ON THE WAY

MT. c. H. Jennings who has taken over the agency for the Dodge Brothers Car in Holbrook certainly cannot complain about poor busi- ness, as he has already dis posed of his first consign- ment of five cars and has another on the way. They are widely distributed over the territory too, as one went to MT. c. T. Youngblood at Ganado in the north, one trekked south to Supt. Chas. L. Davis at Whiteriver. Two were taken by local people, the A. & B. Schuster Co. and John Funk, and the remain ing one to B. D. Ortega a wool grower.
 Pretty soon there will in reality be so many around that we will have to Dodge.

STRIKE OIL AT

Dr. Switzer who has just returned from a trip to Farm ington, N. M. informs us that while there an outfit drilling near the town made their strike. While the well is not. we understand, a gusher. still the oil is said to have risen to with a few feet of the surface.
 This is encouraging news to Holbrook as it assures us again that there is oil here. Next time it will be in Oul wells.

Early this week Charles Osborne, our local Postmast CT acted as guide, phiiOsor- Der, and friend, on a rather long inspection tour taken by Mir. Cooper, a govern ment postal inspector.

 Nr. Osbornereturned from his turkey hunt early this week with on prize gObbler. The only mean thing we know to say about him is that he was too afraid that his wife would shoot one be- fore he did. But she didn't, so everything is serene.

A. AND I. CLUB

Mrs. J. M. Lee acted as hostess to the members of the Ace and Thimble Club on last Friday afternoon. She provided the guests with delicious home made candy with an addendum of some "store bought" candy which MT. Lee had thoughtfully added to the menu. We have a slight suspicion that MT. Lee was not wholly actuated by consideration for the club members, but that he wanted some of the homemade candy left for himself.
