A cursory survey of the premises
served to show that limited as the
time of the intruder had been, quick
work had been made and everything
valuable in the way Of removable OBJ
jects had been taken. Jewels appear
ed to be what the thief hoped to find
and he was amply satisfied in his ex-
pectations. In addition to the gems
taken, clothes were not scorned but
added to the loot, together with a
new black suitcase and an ivory mir
ror.
The particular thief took time to
add bottle of Houbigant perfume,

While the thief took everything that

WYOMING GOVERNOR

Roy E. tBergstrOm, Held for Staying
His Wife, to Be Pardoned to Be

Especial to Kenosha Evening News

Especial to Kenosha Evening News)
Laramie, Wyoming. = Governor VIM.
B. Ross has announced that he will
pardon Roy E. Bergstrom, formerly of
Kenosha, who was convicted of killing
his wife, Gladys Bergstrom, here on
April 8, 1920, and was sentenced to life
imprisonment with the understanding
that he is to be confined to a veterans
hospital in Wisconsin. Bergstrom be-
came insane after being sent to the
state prison and was transferred to the
criminal ward at the Insane asylum.
The plea for the pardon was made by
the young mans mother.
The granting Of the conditional par
don to Roy E. Bergstrom comes as a
result of the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Carrie II. Bergstrem of Kenosha, who
since her sons conviction has contin-
ued her fight to secure his release in
order that he might be returned to
Wisconsin where she could care for
him. Previously the Wyoming COVER
nor had refused to grant any leniency
unless the state of Wisconsin assumed
all responsibility for his care and for
his Incarceration later in the event
that he should ever recover his sanity.

ROTAR|ANS HOLD ENTHUSIASTIC
MEETING; PRINCIPLES OF CLUB
.ANALYzFD IN STIRRING TALKS

BY w. L. Martin

the theme that there is no such thing
as absent treatment in Rotary as
basis he went on to emphasize the i'm
portance of attendance at the Rotary
meetings. Mr.. Proctor said in part:
when the membership Committee is
satisfied that the proposed member is
one of the directing forces of a busi-
ness, that the firm he represents is
one of the leaders in that line of
business, that his reputation for in
tegrlty and character is above re-
proach, that his personal credit is
unquest1oned, and that he is socially
acceptable, the vital question then
arises as to the probability of his in
terest, attendance and activity.
Rotary is live wire club and
desires and seeks for live wire mem
bers who will not only attend the
meeting regularly but enter heartily
into all the activities of the club. On
the Activities of Rotarians", he said:
There is only one kind of a Rota-
rian and that is an active Rotarian.
The first activity suggested is a per-
sonal one that of high standards and
many-sided service which Rotary
teaches Rotarian ideals and practi-
ces are one and indivisible. Rotary
is distinctively betterment move
ment. This town must be taught that
Rotar1an is safe man to do bust
ness with. The Rotary button should
be worn by every Rotarian at all
times and should be an insignia of
reliability and service.
Club activities are second on the
ha
active in club matters and the Rota-
ry clubs value to the community is
measured by the percentage of mem
bers actively participating in the az
fairs of the club. Exchange of ideas
throws sidelights on the difficult
problems. Talks can be of a more
personal nature on account of mem
berships being non-duplicative.
''The third activity suggested for
Rotarians consists in carrying high
standards of business morality and
more comprehensive ideas of service
to others in his own classification
On the question of profit he said,
in substance, that only as man in
business is able to make profit can
he be of service to his community,
and that the only question as to the
amount of profit should be that it is
a fair profit.
He illustrated the growth of a RO-
tartan by telling the substance of
Nathaniel Hawthorne's wonderful
story, "The Great Stone Face" The
address was fine and roundly ap-
plauded, indicating that the members
of the club appreciated it.
Walt Martin was then called on for
a short talk on the Near East Relief.
This closed the evenings program.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT ARIZONA
SHOW IMPROVEMENT

Business conditions of this state
show a decided improvement over
the corresponding period of last year
according to the Arizona Business re-
view issued this week by the Arizona
Industrial congress. The situation in
general, which is most encouraging
and bespeaks the prosperity of this
state, is printed herewith.
Arizona enters the winter season
with decided improvement in gener-
al conditions over the corresponding
period of last year. November show
ed improvement over October in most
communities of the state, and pros
poets for the following months are
considered good.
The agricultural situation is better
than at any time in the past two
years More than half of the Arizona
cotton crop has been ginned and
prices are holding a high level. Let
tuce shipments from the state this
winter are expected to exceed $500
cars, and shipments of citrus fruits
probably will show slight increase.
Cattle shipments in November We're
the heaviest of the fall season. Stears
are reported to have moved we'll, at
prevailing prices averaging five cents
a pound for all ages. but the stock
has moved slowly, and at poor prices.
Range conditions are good. Sheep
conditions showed some improvement
during the month
The price of copper advanced to
1914 cents. pound during November,
a gain of about half a cent. Mining
operations in Arizona are going ahead
full swing, and the states production
of copper this year is expected to
exceed 10000, 900 pounds
Banking transactions as reported
to the Arizona Industrial Congress
showed general increases over October
and over November of last year, re
flecting general business conditions.

LIVESTOCK SHIPMENTS
FROM W|NSLOW YARDS
LESS THAN LAST YEAR

During the eleven months of this
year ending with November, 278 cars
of sheep and 80 cars of cattle were
shipped from Winslow, according to
figures compiled at the local freight
offices by H J. Fouts, station agent
For the corresponding period of last
year, $40 cars of sheep and 130 of
cattle were shipped from the local
stockyards, a difference of 1O2 cars
for the two years.
Sheep and cattle consignments to
Winslow for the eleven-month period
of 1923 outnumber those of 1922, the
former being 70 cars and the latter
54
November is the banner month of
this year with 72 cars of sheep and
So of cattle; September is second with
104 cars Of sheep and Of cattle, fol-
lowed by October with 56 of sheep
and II of cattle.
Of 391 carload shipments from
Winslow during the eleven-mOnth
period of 1923, all were livestock ex-
cept %. For the corresponding per-
iod 566 carload shipments of various
commodities were received here as
against sos cars for last year. Most
of this increase results from larger
coal shipments to this point.
The present year is a banner year
for automobile shipments to Winslow.
Thus far 81 car loads of automobiles
have been received here aside from
those driven in, for which there is no
accurate data. Counting four mach
ines to the freight car and estimating
the number that has been driven in,
it is safe to say that at least 225
automobiles have been disposed of
this year in the city. This in itself
is irrefutable proof of the prosperous
condition of Winslow.
Gasoline and oil consignments ag-
gregating Sc cars, about Is of which
have gone to the gas and the light
plants, the rest have been consumed
here during the past eleven months.

WATCH SAVES
CILLARD FROM
THUGS BULLET.

A watch carried in his vest pocket
saved the life of A. E. "Frisky' Gill
lard, proprietor of the Winslow, Drug
store, Sunday night when he was
shot at by two masked robbers who
attempted to hold him up as he was
nearing his home at the corner of
Third and Berry avenues. The bull
let presumably a SO caliber passed
through his coat and hit the edge
of his watch, which stopped the dead
ly piece of lead.
Mr.. Gillard first noticed the robbers
at the corner of Third and Winslow
avenues. They were walking west
on the south side of Third while he
was on the north side. Near the new
Elks building the thugs cut across
to the north side of the street walking
ahead of Mr.. Gillard for fifteen or
twenty feet. Then they turned and
came toward him sticking a gun in
his side. When they told him to
throw up his hands, he grabbed the
revolver and yelled for help. Wrench
point blank at him and started to
run across the street. Turning as
they fed the robbers fired another

of the thugs ran up Third and the
other cut through the Elks property.
making their escape.
Several people in the neighborhood
hearing the shots came out of their
houses. William Dunn and B. F.
Evans were the first men to reach Mr.
Gillard, who thought that he had
been wounded, the bullet hitting his
watch with such a force as to bruise
his side.
1t is thought the robbers are the
ones who held up the Parlor cafe a
few weeks ago.
The watch is on display in the
west window of the Winslow Drug
store

DEEPEST SNOW
IN TWENTY-SIX
YEARS COVERS
THIS LOCALITY

The deepest snow in twenty-six
years and the first one of the season
fell in Winslow from about $3.50 Mon
day morning until 500 a m. Tuesday
covering the ground on the level to
a depth of more than % inches.
No accurate measurement was OBJ
tainable as the snow filled the United
States weather containers here and
melted somewhat during the storm.
At 500 a. m. Tuesday the ground
was covered on the level to a depth
of % inches, and is thought that dur
ing the fall the snow settled about
four inches.
Contrary to the general rule the
snow was heavier in Winslow than
at any of the towns situated in the
higher altitude either east or west of
here on the Santa Fe. Only light
fall was reported at Holbrook. There
was not much snow at Gallup except
where it had drifted, but at Swanee
between Gallup and Albuquerque
heavy fall was reported. West of
Wfnslow the storm was light only a
few inches falling at Canyon Diablo.
At Flagstaff two inches fell, and one
inch was reported at Williams.
Although trains were not delayed
by the heavy snow, large number
of motor tourists were marooned in
the city Monday, some of them leav-
ing Tuesday and others, Wednesday.
The snow which fell in a little more
than "a hours is the largest since the
winter of 1897 and SO. In December
of that year, according to long resid
ents here, the ground was covered to
a depth of more than three feet. SO
heavy was the fall that the ranchers
in this section could not move their
sheep for five days and then only
after making roads with snow plows.
Ranchers who were fortunate enough
to have their stock in the timber cut
down pine trees so that the sheep
could browse on them until the ami
mails could be driven to feed.
In December of 1915 heavy snow
fell here, and according to some it
was deeper than that of this week.
The United States weather reports,
however, show that only fourteen
inches fell at that time. The snow
was much deeper at Flagstaff and
Williams, where it was necessary to
use a rotary plow to clear the rail
way tracks.
Although the fall of snow was
heavy this week, the storm was not
q severe one, and most of the neople
enj, yed it. Aside from slipp .lg on
the pavement and cleaning Off the
walks and the roofs of the buildings,
it was not at all disagreable. A num-
Ler of tourists shoveled snow here
couple of days before going on 1cir
way.

W|NSLOW YOUTHS TAKE
INTEREST IN SCOUTING

Almost the entire enrolment of the
local Boy Scouts of America were
present at the regular weekly meeting
of the troop held during the latter
part of last week at the Washington
school auditorium.
Under the able leadership of Mr..
Dale Smith, scoutmaster, the weekly
meetings are getting very popular
with the boys Games are played
which not only provide fun and ex-
ercise for the boys, but are instruc-
tive in scout lore, as for instance,
rescue work, first aid, etc, also to
install fairness, manliness, and other
high American ideals into their young
minds, and the boys are responding
rapidly.
Parents will do well to attend an
occasional meeting-they are always
welcome-and learn more of this
movement. The requirements and
high standards set for the boys to
live up to will be revelation to those
not already acquainted with these
facts.
At present, those boys who do not
have uniforms, are busily engaged in
earning money to get them, for
Scout is urged to earn the money to
buy such personal articles necessary
for Scouting in order to encourage
thrift and the value of money. Any
one having an errand or job willing
boy can do please call Scout.
Tomorrow afternoon the troop will
engage in a competitive hike. The
competition will only lie in what the
boys know, not in how fast or how far
they can walk. Patrol Leader Hen
sley will lead with one patrol leaving
tracking signs. The second patrol
with McHood leading will follow after
a short time not knowing where the
first has gone. They will track the
first patrol to a camping ground where
games and a lunch by campfire will
follow.

F. WILSON, JR., SUCCUhBS
TO ATTACK OF DIPHTHERIA

Fred S. Wilson, Jr., eleven-yearold
son of Fred S. Wilson, died of diphthe-
ria between and p. m. yesterday
at the family home on Colorado ave-
nue.. The boy took sick on December
and for time it was doubtful that
he had diptheria, as the case was a
peculiar one, the usual symptoms of
the disease not developing until the
case was we'll advanced From the
first, however, the doctors treated
case as diphtheria, quarantined the
home and administered anti-toxin to
the boy as we'll as to the other mem
bers of the family. Despite every
effort on the part of the physicians,
Fred grew worse until his death.
The body will be taken to- Holbrook
tomorrow for burial in the family plot
where the boys mother lies, she hav-
ing died in that town some time ago.
Fred is survived by his father and
three sisters, who lament his death.
The Wilson family recently moved
here from Holbrook.
So far as is known there are no
other cases of diphtheria in the city.
None of the remaining members of
the Wilson family have taken down
with the disease.

One of the very best meetings the
local Rotary Club has had, during its
year of history, was that held We'd
nesday evening at the store room of
the Winslow Furniture Company, with
Homer Vaughn as host and chairman
of the evening. Homer did the honors
in fine way and made a most ex-
cellent talk on Rotary ethics. He had
set the table in the main store room
and furnished it with some of his own
dishes and table ware. The menu
consisted of hot dogs, salad, pickles,
pie, and coffee, and to say it was a
fine spread and that every fellow en-
joyed it, is putting it mildly. The ex-
pense Of the feed was small, and the
profit together with the fines assessed,
amounting to about $4,000 was given
to the Near East Relief, The meet
ing was full of pep and all entered
into the songs and jests, and the pro-
gram with hearty goodwill Every
body said-as Teddy Roosevelt used
to say-"It was a bully time"
In addition to the fine talk by chair
man Homer Vaughn, President Tom
Quebedeaux made some very timely
and appropriate remarks on the club,
speaking especially Of the character of
the men of the club, and the record
the club had made during the past
year. He called attention to the re-
port in the Governors bulletin, that
the Winslow club stood first in atten-
dance in the district for the month of
October, and while he said he and
secretary Homer were little afraid
there might be some mistake in this
report, he was willing to accede the
report as given by Governor Allie.
And so are all the rest of us. One of
the interesting and amusing things
on the program was the Indian stunt
by Dick Bruchman and Hubert Rich
ardson-the big injuns' of the club, in
which they appeared in regular In
dian paint and garb and gave one of
their Indian dances not omitting the
war whoops and drum accompani-
ment. They were compelled to res
pond to an encore. Dick and Hubert
are two good Indians even if they
aren't dead.
The main address of the evening
was given by the Honorable Sam w.
Proctor of the Winslow Mail, Justice
of the Peace member of the State
Normal Board, and several other
things too numerous to be mentioned.
And let it be remembered here and
that Sam was reported to
be the busiest man in the state before
he Topped off the office of Police
Judge, and it is just possible that he
can still lay claim to the honor Be
that as it may, he made one of the
best speeches the Rotary members
have yet listened to on, "The Business
of Being Rotarian." was: Taking

MANS LEG CRUSHED
IN SWITCH ACCIDENT

In flying switch accident early
Saturday morning in the west end of
the railway yards, c. H. Johnson,
switchman on the Santa Fe, received
a badly crushed leg, which, it was
feared, when he was sent to the hos
pital at Los Angeles on train No. 8
later in the morning, would have to
be amputated No word has been re-
ceived from the injured man since he
was taken to the hospital.
While the switch-engine crew was
making flying switch about a. M,
the locomotive jumped the track, and
a car of steel rails on which Johnson
was working crashed into the engine
and shifted the rails, crushing his
leg.
The injured man came here from
Chicago about two months ago and
has wife and two children in that
city.
