School Notes
(Margaret Foote)

Thanksgiving is here again and
promises to be snowy one. Who Of
US is not glad when Thanksgiving
comes around and so many pleasant
sensations with it' Mother is bustling
around and cookies and cakes and 9th
er good things are peeping from every
nook and corner Of the kitchen.
The students Of the high school are
looking forward to their day Of vaca-
tion and feel that they have much to
be thankful for. Not every boy and
girl has such pretty and pleasant
building to work in or such good 30
cial times. Sometimes we grumble at
having to study so hard and think Of
what good time we could have if we
did not have to spend so many hours
studying old, dry textbooks, but IL we
were given our choice the great ma
jority Of us would continue to go to
school. The six weeks examinations
are over and although some of US just
barely passed, we are thankful for
small favors. So, this Thanksgiving
holiday finds us very happy and thank
full.

of their arguments, used abusive lam
guage in speaking to him (Miller),
but Miller's memory failed to recall
any particular time, place, or the SUBJ
stance Of what such language might
have been, while Mcdonald testified
that he never spoke abusive language
or profanity to anyone, and Mrs. John
Schultz, city clerk, corroborated this
by testifying that she had never heard
Mr.. Mcdonald at any of the council
meetings use any such language.
Much delay in time was caused dur
ing the course of the testimony by
numerous objections raised by each
side.
In the argument before the jury at
torneys Irwin and Bryans each made
an appeal to the emotions and sympa-
thy of the jury. They made the state
ment that the monthly estimates which
Miller presented to the council were
only to be regarded as estimates and
not as exact measurements, while Mr..
Delaney said the city was paying Mr..
Miller for actual surveys Of the work
done, and not merely guess work or an
offhand estimate.
AS Mr.. Bryans and Mr.. Irwin are
considered among the best criminal
attorneys in the state, the people are
congratulated upon the splendid way
in which Mr.. Delaney handled this
case.
The jurors on the case were Frank
Bussel, Dan Thurston, Ernest Toland,
Mike Calvick, Roland Urquhart, Claude
Corley, J. D. Caldwell, W. A. Csbe,
Lester Coulter, Earl Blue, Perry Tut.

No. THANKSGIVING
FOR BLIND MATT"

Thanksgiving joys today held no
place in the life of Matt Patrick, an
Austrian miner, SO years Of ago and
for several years resident Of Aspen.
While the residents of that mining
village were preparing to give thanks,
and also to enjoy their holiday dinner,
Patrick, commonly known as "Blind
Matt" because of the fact that sew.
eral years ago he lost his eyeight by
missed shot, took half a stick Of
dynamite, connected it with fuse and
cap, placed the latter in his mouth
and exploded it with his teeth, liter
ally blowing his head off.
Patrick left no family here, but he
has distant relatives in Austria. He
was not able to work, but found his
way about town very easily by the
aid of his cane, and was familiar
figure to the residents of Aspen. he
was supported from state and county
funds, through the blind benefit.

OTHER PLANS SECRET

]. G. Osgood was in Glenwood and
Redstone this week arranging for
workmen to repair and renovate the
mansion and other buildings at Red
stone, preparatory to Mr.. Osgood and
his family residing there this coming
summer.
This comes as welcome news to the
people of this vicinity who have long
regretted the fact that this once pros
porous mining town has been deserted
for SO many years.
Before leaving Glenwood Mr.. o.
good took up the matter Of painting
and decorating his own residence and
a number of the other buildings in
Redstone. It is believed that with the
prospect of the early completion Of
the Moffat tunnel and the Dotsero
cutoff, mining activities in the Red
stone seceion may be resumed, thus
assuring return Of the prosperity
which formerly characterized that
beautiful mining camp.

A New Fad

A new fad has hit the school and
seems to be taking it by storm, es-
pecially among the girls. Nearly all
the girls are wearing plaid jackets;
they appear in combination colors,
such as black and white, green and
black, and brown and black. These
new jackets are very ideal for the

MRS, RACHEL HILL, PIONEER,
LAID TO REST TUESDAI J

Mrs. Rachel Hill passed away. at
the home of her son, Henry Smith,
Sunday morning at IL o'clock, after a
very brief illness of pneumonia.
Mrs. Hill was 73 years of age, a
native Of Arkansas, and had been a
resident of this section of Arizona for
over 40 years. Many of her early
day friends here will probably remem-
Der her better as Mrs. Russell, prev
ious to her marriage to Lon Hill who
passed away several years ago.
Mrs. Hill was sturdy woman of
the true pioneer type. True-hearted
and loyal to friends in every en1er--
gency, and there were many during
the early period when this vast wilder
ness was first opened up by settlers.
During the past few years she has
made her home with her son, Henry,
in Flagstaff, and was confined to the
house a greater part of the time suf-
fering with rheumatism.
She leaves three sons, Henry Smith
of Flagstaff, John Smith of RedondR
Beach, and Frank Smith Of Los An
geles. Her Youngest son, James, pre-
ceded his mother to the great beyond
several years ago.
The funeral services were held at
the Christian church Tuesday after
noon at 2:30 and laid to rest in the
Odd Fellows cemetery. Rev. j. w.
