Boston.-A story OF great love, OF a
career Of hard battles in the ring, and
Of a winning fight against tuberculosis
came to light at Harvard university a
few days ago when Frederick kid"
Wedge, f0rty-One years old. Of Arizona
registered In the Harvard graduate

Fifteen years ago the name Of kid"
Wedge was one to be feared In the
timber lands Of the Middle West. For
years he had fought in the rings Of
that region At twenty he left the
woods, where he worked with lumber
ing crews, and took up the fighting
game for his profession. In the mex;
six years he fought 6S battles and won
IS of them.
Romance Entered Life.
Then, when he was twenty-six, came
his romance. He met the daughter of
a Wisconsin doctor She was a gradu-
ate Of Nebraska college, and far re-
moved from Wedges station in life,
but they were married. Then he
realized the great difference In their
Intellectual standards, so he gave up
the ring to secure an education with
the money he had earned as a prize
fighter. For six years he attended a
preparatory school,. where he did II

nounced him an incurable victim of
tuberculosis, with but six months to
live. He went to Ea Paso. Tex, to be-
gin different battle, and in year
he was a we'll man.
Won Degree Of A. B.
Then he entered the University of
Arizona and finished the work he had
begun at the University of Nebraska.
He was given his degree of A. b. He

C.. Holds
Meeting

Monday night the Snowflake
Chamber of Commerce held a
meeting in the Stake House.
The meeting was not properly
advertised, hence a scanty at
tendance, as is always the case
with anything when publicity is
sacrificed. The meeting itself,
however, was live enough. A
mong other matters of vital in
terest the Snowflake Taylor
Vernon and the Snowflake
Hunt roads were discussed. Su-
pervisor C.. E. Owens pledged
the cooperation of the Board of
Supervisors in the repair of
these projects and intends to
make a preliminary estimate on
the probable expense to submit
at the next Board Meeting. In
company with Mr.. Willard he in
spected the Snowflake Hunt
road as far as Hay Hollow. This
particular place is now impas-
sable with cars.
Work will no doubt begin on
both these projects in the very
near future. 1t is hoped and be-
lieved that we shall then again
see the faces of some of our
Vernon friends who must now
go to Holbrook by way of Sprin-
gerville, st. Johns or Concho.
The Trade at Home Buy
Arizona Products Week. cam
paign instituted by the Arizona
Industrial Congress was also
discussed. The matter of pub
licity was referred to the COM
mitee on cooperation and the
results of that efficient body's
work may be found elsewhere in
the Herald.
A resolution declaring for all
home talent musical and dra
matte productions was debated
with some spirit but finally LAID

FIearings Held on AL
buquerque Bankers Case

4
The Arizona attorneys hold
that the governor should con-
slider only the face of the re-
cord as presented by the re-
QUESTION of the Arizona COVER
nor. They hold that showings
of fact should arise only under a
habeus corpus proceeding. that
they have bad no opportunity to
present counters affidavits sto
those offered Sin behalf of the
Albuquerque men and that they
would have no opportunity to
appeal except under a habeus
corpus proceedings. Albuquer-
que Herald.
Since the above was published
in the Albuquerque. paper we
learn that Governor Mechem of
New Mexico refused the request
of Governor Campbell and that
extradition will not be given the
accused bankers. This means
that, for the time being,at least,
a Navajo county jnry will not
have an opportunity to decide on
the guilt or innonce of these
powerful captains of finance
which we are constrained to say
we believe such a jury ought. =

under cover until dark.
When darkness came on the

camp at the Crossing, taking up

he came to the Hannigan Ranger
Station. Supposing the bandit
had entered the station, he dis
mounted, tied his horse to a tree
and crawled up to the house.
He discovered only the ranger
leaving the house, however, so
returned to his horse and rode
over to the Blue Lookout Tower.

and covered his pursuer with his
rifle. Haynes was thereupon
relieved of his weapons, but
very conveniently remembered
his official capacity as Forest
Ranger and told the bandit he
was not on the man hunt.
At this stage of the game Cole
and Earl rode to the rescue.
They called out for any one in
side to come out. Haynes came
out first followed by his would
be prisoner. Earl then COM
manded the bandit, Put up
your hands," The command
was then repeated but still the
robbber failed to comply. In
stead, after the second COM
mand, the still sullen Schultz
started back in the tower pre-
sumably to get his rifle.
Thereupon both Earl and Cole
fired, sending five shots through
the body of their victim any one
of which would have proved fa-
tai. Schultz died instantly.
The shooting occurred about 700
O'Clock Wednesday evening just
before sundown. Inquest on
the body of the dead bandit has
probably already been taken.
The accomplice was taken into
custody and will no doubt be
given speedy trial.

I'm young--only thirteen. But l feel really awfully old and you know Il woman is as old as she feels. Besides, Nurse Sarah says l am old for my age, and that it's no wonder, the kind of life I've lived.
 And maybe that is so. For of course it has been different, living with a father and mother that are getting ready to be divorced, from what 1t would have been living with the loving, happy-ever-after kind. Nurse Sarah says it's shame and pity, and that it's the children that always suffer. But I'm not suffering-not mite. I'm just enjoying it. It's so exciting.
 Of course If was going to lose either one, 1t would be different. But I'm not. for l am to live with Mother six months. then with Father.
 So l still have them both. And. really, when you come right down to 1t, I'd rather take them separate that way.

For now l can be Mary six months, then Marie six months, and not try to be them both all at once, with maybe only five minutes between them.
 And 1 think 1 shall love both Fathei and Mother better separate, too. Of course l love Mother, and I know I'd just adore Father If he'd let inches so tall and fine and splendid. when he's out among folks. All the girls are simply crazy over him. And l am, too. Nrir 2. hnme-wall Us hora to he

 That's why I'm so thrilled over this new one-the one I'm living, mean. For of course this will be love story. Thsre'll be my love story in two or three years when l grow up, and while I'm waiting there's Fathers and Mothers.
 Nurse Sarah gays that when you're divorced you're free just like you were before you were married. and that sometimes they marry again. That made me think right away; what if Father or Mother, or both of them. married again? And 1 should be there to see 1t, and the courting, and all Wouldn't that be some love story ] We'll, just guess
