Death of Mrs. Mary E. Sheetz.

A most tragic life came to close on
Saturday at the Western State Hospital
at Staunton, Va, when Mrs. Mary E..
Sheetz passed over the river to meet
her soldier husband in that better land
to which he had gone more than half a
century ago.
Mrs. Sheetz was the wife of William
L. Sheetz, soldier of the Confederacy
who died in the Federal Prison at FL
mira, New York.
Grief over the death of her husband
SO greatly affected the mind OF the
Young wife and mother that she was
taken to the hospital for treatment, but
the malady could not be cured and
she remained patient for more than
forty years.
Surviving are two children, Mrs,
Fannie j. Estep, of Winchester, ane
Mr.. Matthias l.. Sheetz, of Narrow Pas
sage, and one granddaughter, Mrs
Mamie Foster and five great grane
children.
Funeral services were conducted D.
/ the Rev. MIR. Elmore in Mt. Calvar.
Church on Tuesday at ten O'Clock.

REV. {. |. BARKLEY
PASSED AWAY SAT.

The whole community was Sadden-
ed Saturday evening when it became
known that the Rev. E. l.. Barkley
former Pastor of the Baptist Church
OF Winslow had passed away.
His demise while not entirely un-
expected was nevertheless a distinct
shock to everyone. His kindly dis
position and rare christian character
had endeared him to all Expressions
of regret were heard on every side.
The Rev. Barkley came to Winslow
about five years ago to take up the
pastorate of the Baptist Church here
and served it faithfully until a few
months ago, when failing health fore
ed him to give up the work. Since
| that time he has under gone two ope-
rations for cancer and through it all
he was cheerful and kind and bore
his affliction with a christian forti-
tude that strengthened the faith and
hope of all who came in contact with
him.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon at one o'clock at the M e.
Church and was attended by host
of sOrrowing friends.
The Rev. T. E. Elgin Pastor of the
Baptist Church conducted the funeral
service, assisted by Rev. o. L. En-
yeart of the M. E. Church and Rev.
w L. Martin of the Christian Church.
All the speakers voiced the unani-
nous sentiment of the community in
their tributes to the spotless Chris
tian life and character manifested by
his daily living and ministry here for
the past five years.
The Baptist Choir rendered the
music, led by Mrs. R. L. Champion
director Mrs. J. L. Day presided at
the organ.
Immediately after the funeral ser
vices the body was taken to the San
ia Fe station to begin the last journey
home
The interment will take place at
the old home in La Grange Missouri.
The deceased leaves a wife, small
daughter, brothers and sisters and
host of friends to mourn his demise.
A brother Mr.. J. P. Barkley from
Wichita Falls, KS. arrived Saturday
night and accompanied the family on
their sad journey.

WINSLOW HIGH CLOSE SECOND
FLAG TAKES EN- into CAMP.

Winslow High School Baske- Ball
team lost it's first home game to
Flagstaff Normal Saturday night
Score Of 24-17 only after a hard
fought contest from whistle to whis-
tie
AS an opening feature the local
girls met the Normal girls in a real
contest that pleased the fans to a
high degree. 1t was in all features
the best girls game ever played on
the local court, and we came out the
small end in that also, losing 1916
to the Flagstaff Teachers.
The Boys contest started off slow
but gained speed and with Flag drop
ping in baskets at opportune moments
it looked bad for the Maroon and
ended with score 1914 in the Normals
favor.
Winslow took the lead in the sec
ond half on points made, and Spike"
Rushing made several trips down the
floor that caused the score to mount
steadily.
Janeway at the forward position
took advantage of his all state guards
reputation by dropping in three bask-
cts on him during the half and max
ing them buckle down to work.
The Winslow mail., 1923-01-19

Holm at the other forward showed
we'll as did Kimura who changed off
with him during halves
Hitchcock and Williams played
their usual heady game and did some
good floor work thruout the contest.
Owing to the inability of the Win
slow boys to cage the goals when
needed, Flag held the lead in the last
five minutes Of play by three points
and finally increased it to seven be-
fore referee Christensen blew the
fILal whistle.
The team left Thursday on a trip
to the central portion of the state to
play Prescott, Jerome and Clarkdale
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
and will meet the Winslow girls team
at Prescott playing double headers
in all of the central towns
Boys making the trip are Roy Will
liams, Joe Babcock, Murl Holm, id
Janeway, Herman Thornton. Winfred
Hensley, Dan Hitchcock, Melvin Rush
ing and Coach Kerr
The next home game will be with
st. Johns at Winslow on January &c
and as this aggregation is rated as
being fast and of championship cali
ber it promises to be a tough fight
for the victory.

various points on the line.
Q.-Well was this previous to or
after this letter had been signed, as
lis indicated here?
A.-That was before the letter was
signed. We went there to sign the
letter with the officials of the COM
pany or Mr. Hitchcock.
The Court-Overruled
Mr.. Rush.-Exception
Q.-By Mr. Todd-You may state.
A-Mr. Hitchcock asked me, he
said, How long do you suppose we
have got to put up with these run
away strikes?" I told Mr.. Hitchcock,
as nearly as l can remember. that so
far as our organization was concern
ed we would punish those responsible
for the illegal strike and that we
would make every effort, use every
effort to see to it that there wasn't a
repetition of it and so forth. Mr..
Karn replied by saying that his orga-
ter at the next board meeting, what
ever meeing that was. That was Mr..
Karn's. position. After that we pro-
ceeded to sign up and send out the
kilograms to various parts of the sys-
tenn Mr. Hitchcock and l discussed
the legality of the strike in the pre-
sence of the representatives and I
stated to Mr. Hitchcock that l realiz-
ed it was a violation of the contract
between our organization and the
company, that it was a violation of
the system agreement which provides
how the three general chairmen of
our organizations shall convene be-
fore even the president of the organ
iZation is asked to assist them in a
final settlement. l pointed out that
that had not been done, that our mem
bers on the Coast Lines had violated
their system agreement, that they had
violated the Federal transportation
act, and that they had violated the
contract entered into by Grand Chief
Stone, of the B. of L. E., President
Robertson, of the B. of L. F. and E.,
President Sheppard, of the Order of
Railway Conductors, and President
Lee, of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, when they agreed with all
of the roads in the western country
how grievances should be handled
that cannot be handled and disposed
of in an amicable way between the
representatives of the employees and
the management of the railroad; that
they shall be referred to the Train
Service Board of Adjustment, in ac-
cordance with that agreement at Chi
cago; and that they had violated that
agreement. l made an Investigation
Q.-By the Court-Was this state
ment made in the presence of any of
these defendants here or any of the
Big Four Committee at Needles?
Ayes. 1 am quite sure they were
all there
Q.-And what response was made
to it if any?
A.-No response at ALL Mr. Hitch
cock made it plain that he under
stood they had violated their contract,
and there was not one of them, the
general chairmen or otherwise, that
challenged his statement
