Two Robbers Hold Up
Cafe Early Saturday

Walking into the Parlor Cafe about
1870 Saturday morning while the
night man, Chin King, was in the
kitchen, two men entered booth,
drew the curtain and when King went
in to take their orders, they held him
up taking $39 from his pocket and
$26 from the cash register.
After backing out of the cafe, the
robbers ran east across the city camp
ground. When they started to run
King rushed to the door and tried to
Follow, but they made their escape
in the darkness.
Both men were white and had
guns. One had a handkerchief tied
over his nose, and other was wearinc
a Scotch cap which partially hid his
face
Officer Pemberton left the cafe
about twenty minutes before the hold
up took place.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
GIVEN AT HI SCHOOL

Undoubtedly the best entertainment
that has been given this year at the
high school assembly was the pro-
gram rendered at the regular chapel
period last Friday by Mrs. Grady
Gammage assisted by Mrs. ]. Day.
At no time this term have the stu
dents responded so whole-heartedly
as they did at last Fridays program,
They sat rapt in the entertainment
until it was completed at 1890. Any
one who has spoken before high
school assembly knows how hard it
is to hold the interest of students
when it is past their luncheon time.
Mrs. Gammage succeeded, however,
and numerous are the compliments
that have been made on the program.
The first number was Beethoven
piano solo played by Mrs. Day. The
difficult piece was rendered in mas
terly manner and was very warmly
received.
Following the piano solo Mrs Gam
mage gave several humorous readings
from Booth Lowrey and Ed Vance
Cooke, all of which delighted her au
ditors. Not a single piece failed to
get a whole-hearted response. The
next number was a selection by Mrs.
Gammage from the Madison Cawein.
This, like the preceding numbers. was
excellent and registered distinct hit.
Mrs. Gammage then gave talk on
the comparative and cOntrastic quail
tiles of the Passion and the Pilgrim
age plays. The analysis was highly
interesting and instructive.
The program was concluded with
reading from the opening and the clo-
sing scenes of the Passion Play, the
Triumphal Entry and the Ascension.
Mrs. Gammage arranged this reading
in her own words. Although this kind
of number is very difficult to give, the
piece was one of the best of the pro-
gram.

BIC TINE ASSURED
At BAZAAR TONIGHT

With big Thanksgiving turkey
supper first in order the annual
bazaar given by the Catholic ladies
opened Wednesday at p. M in the
Pastime theatre and will continue
tonight, which will undoubtedly be
the best and most attractive evening
as most Of the prizes will be awarded.
Satisfying is the word for the tur-
key supper This was a rare treat
of home cooking. The generous help
ing of savory turkey with cranberry
jelly, dressing, vegetables, salad and
pumpkin pie certainly did satisfy.
The supper was cOmplimented most
aptly by a man who attended and
said that if he was not invited out
to Thanksgiving dinner, he already
had his.
After the big feed the various at
fractions including the fancy, apron
and candy booths and the fish pond
became the center of interest. At
$50 the music struck up and the
dance, which was we'll attended, be-
gan. Every one certainly enjoyed
himself during the whole evening.
The bazaar was well attended last
night, the dance proving very popu-
lar. The hot-dog stand, which tO0h
the place of the turkey supper of the
night before, did a rushing business,
Johny Moore cooking EN- better than
ever.
Tonight, the last day of the fair,
will be the biggest evening. The la
dies have many things at the various
booths, which will make appropriate
Christmas presents. Many of the
business men of the city have con-
tributed valuable prizes, which will
be awarded tonight. A dance will
also be given this evening.
The following business houses have
generously contributed prizes: Dagg
Mercantile Company, Babbitt Bros.
Trading Company, Bruchman Curio
Shop, E. H. Black, Jeweler, Central
News Stand, Star Grocery Store,
Greaves Store, Calm Mercantile Com
pany, Marley Meat Market, Williams
Meat Market, j. G. Penney Company
store, Bill" O'Hara, Tailor, Murphy's
Store, Bank of Winslow, Arizona
State Bank, Union Bank and Trust
Company, Arizona Electric Company,
Al .zona Electric Power Company,
Campbell Meat Market, Behn Depart
meat Store, Central Drug Company,
Old Trails Garage, The Ideal Laun-
dry and the Paquin Motor Com
pany. All of these business con-
Germs contributed valuable gifts which
the ladies certainly appreciate. If
the Mail has overlooked any business
house that has contributed, the name
will be mentioned next week.

Tuskegee.

 Tn the less than 70 years that the negroes in America have been in the enjoyment of freedom they have made marvellous progress" said the vice president That progress is shown most of all in the honest in dustrious way in which the great body of their people have performed the plain, everyday duties of life.
 When the call came in time of war they were ready and desirous to respond. They were more anxious to enlist than they were to evade any service for their country. In spite of every deception of temptation to which public enemies artfully sub- jected them, they exhibited loyalty and devotion to the cause of Amer ica which was unsurpassed.
