Crime Believed Premeditated

That the boy has been considering
the crime or a similar one is evi.
denced by his statement to Chief
of Detectives Trotter that he escaped
so easily in Decatur when he set
fire to his sisters by merely running
back to his room that he felt that
he could commit the crime and not
be caught because he was under di-
vine guidance.
Mcdowell talked Wednesday after
noon to anybody who was with him
telling about his two crimes. He
said that he had to make a blood
sacrifice because of his great sin
when he was twelve years old, and
that his sisters were the first to so.

FIRE SCORCHED REAR
UNDERTAKING PARLOR

The rear part of the building occu-
pied by the Winslow Undertaking
Parlor, was visited by fire about
p M. Tuesday. The fire department
was called and put out the blaze after
it had scorched a wooden partition
sufficient to compel replacement OF
part of it.
Mr.. Dean, the proprietor was heat
ing some water on a gas plate in the
room and was talking to gentleman
in the front part of the establishment.
Mrs. Sweeney, living on the second
floor of the building smelled smoke.
She could see none. She found no
fire until she went down stairs and
mentioned the fact to Mr. Dean. He
went back to the rear of the office and
found the blaze and called the fire
department.
In some way, the gas connection
with the stove had been ruptured and
the flame had been directed against
the wooden partition setting it afire.
Mr. Dean thinks the increased pres
sure of the gas, after he lighted it,
forced the connection loose. Repairs
were being completed Wednesday
morning.

DREADED MONSTER
PROVES AID STUNT

The J. c. Penney Co. store has hit
an attractive advertising scheme for
their lay window
1t consists in placing a pair of Gila
monsters in the window with show
ing of leggins, puttees, and protective
camp garb in general.
The pedestrian stopping to look at
the window and seeing the monsters,
rarely fails to see the connection when
he sees the leg covers near by.
One of the animals is alive, the other
is stuffed. A slight difference in the
coloration of the animals shows the
difference.
The Gila lizard look mighty veno-
nous. However scientists are in
doubt. Some of them are mighty
skeptical about the matter of venom.
They regard some of the stories of
the deadly reptile as a bit "fishy" as
authentic data is lacking as to cases
Of the past.
No matter, the animals look the
part and the man who looks at them
shudders and wishes for some good
stout puttees.

CHAUTAUQUA
IS PRODUCING
FINE PROGRAM

The opening program of the 1924

to be here for the closing performance
The Cheneys with their famous
organ chimes are a highpriced ag-

played in concert for a president of
the United States.
The opening program Tuesday was
by group of singing and instrument
playing Hawaiians, known as the
Pickard Royal Hawaiians. They
proved good group of entertainers
and as they are not strangers to lyce-
umites, it is enough to say they met
all requirements as popular enter
tainerS.
At this time Rev Martin, mighty
worker in the local chautauqua field,
introduced Miss Towsley, as platform
manager. She proved active and eff
cient in this work DR.. Robert Miles
on the opening night gave his lecture
"Tallow Dips" which he has present
ed before the public more than 5000
times.
It was found that on Thursday
afternoon, the lecturer was DR..
Rayner, president of Union college at
Manila P. l., who told of the situation
in the islands and also gave a graphic
picture of the Japanese earthquake
disaster He came through stricken
Japan on his way home, arriving here
only a few weeks ago.

SCHOOL WORK
SHOWN FRIDAY

One of the best exhibits of school
work given in this city was that
shown at the Washington school audi
torium Friday afternoon last, when
specimens of departmental work in all
the city schools was shown by the
publis.
The exhibition was pronounced by
many who had seen similar exhib-
itions in other larger cities both in the
east and west, to have been superior
to any they had seen before.
The public accepted the invitation
to come out and see the work done
by the students and were we'll repaid
for the effort.
One of the interesting and clever
exhibitions was rhythm drill for stud
ents of typewriting. The students,
half a dozen of them, sat at their
machines and struck the keys in time
with each beat of a march which was
played on a phonograph. It is stated
that it is found that students more
easily arrive at methodical system
of using the keyboard of their ma

SUMNER TOURIST TRAFFIC
BELOW AVERAGE STANDARD

A visit to the local camp grounds
indicate that the summer tourist
business has not opened this year
as it should, based on past years
business record.
Winslow has some up-to-the-
minute camp grounds and many
coming through westward bound,
stop over here. But, at that, the
traffic is not up to the standard by
long odds, according to some of
the camp men.
They lay this in large measure
to the rumors and statements that
have gone east relative to the hoof
and mouth diseases and partically
to the closing of the west state
border to eastbound California
traffic.
There is no embargo on west
ward bound traffic.
