Territorial Lib i 1 06 Largest Weekly Circulation in Northern Arizona A Modern Printcry Official Stock Paper of Northern Arizona Fine Commercial Printing cum no Volume XXXI FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1913 Number 2 1. fo A'. fi it GALLANT GALAXY OF GO GETTERS GO A notorious gang of hunters went through here last week from Phoenix on their way to Winslow, from which place they will row the country south to the Creek country by team. -The murderously inclined men were: Harry Trittle part owner 'of the Gazette; Hon. W.

Paul Geary complete owner of the Arizona State Corporation Commission and Harry McVey, who has a working interest in the Mountain States Telephone company. The same party have purchased game over in that section before and hope to find the same fellow with supply awaiting them when they McVey, who has formed a strong affection for the salety habit by having seen men actually injured by working, produced three bright red caps which are to be worn buttoned under the chin. This device was intended either to enable them to pick up a scrap with a wild turkey gobbler or a stray bull or to distinguish them from wild deer and being more or less shot at during the hunt by other hunters. At Winslow they will purchase a box of sardines each and a couple of crackers, thus bountifully provisioned they will commence the slaughter of slap jacks and other wild animals. 1 Deer, bear, mountain lions and other wild beasts have been moving out of that country ever since they heard of the coming of this gallant galaxy of gunners.

Demonstration Train The agricultural demonstration train' arrived in Flagstaff on schedule Tuesday morning and created plenty of interest among dry ranchers and stockmen. The Normal school was out in furce in the afternoon to visit the different exhibits, and great interest was manifested by Prof. Berg and his class of students. NORTHERTrOUTE TO" LOS ANGELES OEST In writing to the Northern Arizona Motor company relative to the trip over the northern route, Allen Greenlaw says: "Los Angeles, November 3. '13- We arrived in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon after a fine trip in the car from Flagstaff, at six o'clock Wednesday morning and made Kingman in the evening without hard driving, although we got on the wrong road at Saligman because of the lack of road signs.

Coconino County needs more sign boards on the forks as the right roads are not always the ones most traveled. From Kingman west we found the roads well signed but not so good. After leaving Kingman in the morning we arrived at the Colorado river about noon and were delayed in ferrying across and had to stay in Needles over night. From Needles west the roads are well signed and in fair shape to Barstow, the worst trouble being the cross washes, the sand is not bad at all. Frcm Barstow on the roads are still better and well signed.

Don't be afraid to tell anybody that the northern route is the best as it is certainly fine, considering the conditions and they are worse along the southern route." To Examine Water Power Sites Mr. Sherman, secretary of appeals in the office of the Secretary of Agriculture, arrived in Flagstaff yesterdaj from Washington D. C. and will make an examination of water and power sites in Oak Creek Canyon, also homestead applications conflicting with such sites, where applications have been made where applications have been made Change in Santa Fe Trains After December 7th No. 1, the old reliable accommodation train through Flagstaff west heretofore approximately at 9:48, will reach Flagstaff at 6.10 a.m.

The DeLuxe train will be put on again December 19th, but will not be of any special interest to Flagstaff people owing to the fact that while it stops here it does not desire any local travel. A new San Francisco limited is scheduled to appear along here about December 23, and will have much the same disposition as old No. 3, in that it is intended for people who live in Chicago and want to visit San Francisco. It will show its plumage here about 10:13 a. m.

and whistle several times while going through otherwise it will not affect local travel. Marriage License Few Chas. Adams, manager of Dan Cupid has not had a busy week this week having had only one application presented to him. Mr. Edward William Kuhrts of Los Angeles was granted a license to wed Mrs.

Cora Belle Taylor of Williams. Mrs. Taylor was granted a divorce Wednesday by Superior Judge Perkins, Attorney George Harben appearing for her. Divorce granted Arthur C. Young from Louise Young, both of Will-Hams.

His recent illness has in no wise affected his enthusiasm over the recent discoveries in the new oil fields and there will be something doing from now on. Revive Old Memories Mrs. Martin Lind and sister Mish Mary Lind, brother and sister of Mr. John Lind arrived in Flagstaff Monday. Mr.

Lind came from Truckee, California, but had been on a visit to his old home in Indiana, and on his way west with his sister. This is the first time in twenty years the brothers have met and one can imagine how memories will fly back to the time when water melons were ripe and who owned the fattest spring chicken in that neighborhood in Indiana.

We wish to thank every one who has helped to make theso food sales such a success and we hope every one who can, will' contribute to I this food sale. AGED IN GRAPPLES WITH MAD DOG A tale of an aged father's heroism to save the life of his daughter was told Saturday when W. H.

Woods, a pioneer cattleman of the McMillan district, was brought to Globe on his way to the Pasteur Institute at El Paso. Mr. Woods was severely bitten by a rabbid dog which he engaged in a life and death struggle to save his daughter, Miss Polly Woods from injury. Miss Woods showed her bravery by seizing a stone and beating the maddened brute to death after her father had pinned it down. She was not quick enough however, to prevent the animal from sinking his fangs into her father's right hand and arm several times, and the trip to El Paso is a precautionary means to eliminate the possibility of Mr.

Woods falling victim to hydrophobia. If that should happen his life would be the forfeit for his bravery. lie Denies Being Dead A. I. Jennings, driver for Wrn.

Beeson was injured about the head with a slab which he was unloading at the Steam Laundry Tuesday afternoon. The slab struck him under the eye and in the excitement of the moment an employe at the laundry put some ink eradicator on the wound by mistake, which assisted some in making the wound more painful. It was reported Wednesday morning that Jennings had died from the effects of his wound but Jennings himself strenuously denies the report. WM. STEWART AGAIN FIGHTING FOR LIFE A reply brief in the case of William Stewart, sentenced to death for the murder of Fred Kibbe, will be filed within ten days by the government before the United States circuit court of appeals in San Francisco.

Attorney Benton E. Dick for the defendant had until Nov. 10 in which to file a brief under the stipulations and the government was given fifteen days from the tenth. It will probably be about Ian. 1 before it will be definitely known whether Stewart will get a new trial.

The case is now before the higher court in San Francisco where Dick is trying to get reversal of the decision and obtain a new trial. The Stewart case has attracted wide attention. Stewart and James Goodwin were both sentenced to death for the murder of Kibbe and Alfred Hillpot in Gila county. Goodwin was executed at Globe last In May of this year Stewart was found guilty and the date set for his execution. Pending the decision on the new trial Stewart will be confined in the Globe jail.

SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE LIND ORDERED ROME President Wilson has ordered special representative John Lind and O'Shannessy home from the City of Most all Americans who intend leaving the Mexican capitol have gone. It is probable that if the Mexican congress goes ahead with their proposed plan of giving out oil and other concessions that intervention will come swift and sure. Huerta has practically refused to make any concessions to the United States probably feeling that the only thing that can save him from the hands of the constitutionalists now is the intervention of this government.

Defeat of his troops have been coming thick and fast lately and it is reported that there is very little money left in the federal treasury to keep up the struggle. Public Health Lectures The public health lectures given under the auspices of the University of Arizona, the Arizona Medical Association and the American Medical Association on November 23rd will have as one of its most interesting features a lecture by Dr. Chas. A. Meserve, State Chemist and Bacteriologist of the University of Arizona, the title of which is to be, "Food Adulteration and the Law." This lecture will open the eyes of a great many people as to the extent adulteration is being carried on, and the necessity foi laws governing them.

Numerous experiments will be made illustrating to the audience the adulterants, and the harmful effects of such. Some of the experiments are quite spectacular. For instance, experiments will be made showing how cloth may be dyed from ordinary soda pop. We are very certain that these lectures will prove extremely ben eficial to those who are granted the opportunity of seeing them. WHY RE SICK Public Health Day, Flagstaff, Sun day, Nov.
