EVERYTHING
That Jolly Hunting Party
Winslow Ariz Nov. 1, 1910
Editor Williams News:
You will be doing me a favor if
you will publish the following item:
Through the hospitality of Jim
Johnson , the hunting party of
Winslow did not go meat hungry,
for a few days aa Jim gave them
a quarter of fresh dressed veal on
their arrival at the J. D. Dam.
The party consisted of seven,
Joe Waugh of Pt. Richmond, Cal.,
F. P. Riley, Jay Lebsch. Lee Tabor,
Carl Eiberger, Frank and Dick
Farnpworth of. Winslow.
Jay Lebsch was the grand master
of the camp fire. Lee Tabor was
story teller and prevaricator. Joe
Waqgb the native -Hoosier was a
listener; Dick farnsworth was
famous for going to slep on Tabor;
Frank Farneworth famous for
vouching for Tabor: C. Eiberger
busy cleaning his gun for Tabor
while Mistah Ob Riley was setting
on the soaD box whitling and whist
ling the Irish Washwoman.
Lee Tabor, Dead-Eye Dick, was
first lucky, shot a 2 point buck off
of the rim of a canyon and he fell
20 feet below and broke off both
horns, so it was unnecessary to
pack the head, into camp. Frank
F. the B. P. O. E. Kid, landed a
5 pointer and knocked down a
hundred or more. Dick, the Blew
foot kid was there when it comes
to cooking.
Jay Lebsch, The Bismarck shot a
2-pointer and he also shot he don't
know how many feathers out of
wild turkeys. Joe Waugh the
native of Indiana went out and
shot one by moonlight one morn
ing. Mister Oh Riley said he must
have wanted to commit suicide as
he stood up and let me shoot him
3 times before he fell, 4-pointer for
O'Riley. C Eiberger put too much
polish on his gun, it shined so he
could not slip up on them, for they
saw him coming and ran away.
Th'ev came back with four large
bucks and one turkey feeling fine,
and ready for work for another
year.
The Supai school which opened
Oct. 3d, has completed a most suc
cessful month under the tutelage
of Miss Myrtle Kidd of Flagstaff,
the accomplished daughter of Pro
bate Judge R. J. Kidd.
SIXTH ARIZONA I
ICIUtllUJCUALi r AliX
Phoenix was never before so
elaborately decorated and gorge
ously illuminated nor in a happier
frame of mind, all in anticipation
of the big Territorial Fair.
The fair management says it will
he the best fair ever held in Ari
zona. Certainly the preparations
are on a grander scale than ever
before.
Exhibitions for the Mineral De
partment have been arriving for
the past' two weeks. Col. Epes
Randolph, Supt., of this depart
ment has made several trips to
encourage exhibitors in all parts
of the territory.
In the Horse and Mule depart
ment one Btable in Maricopa county
will show thirty six colts, all of
them prize winners wherever they
have exhibited. -
Tbe morning parade of blue rib
bon cattle has always been a feature
of the fair, and -this year will be
more than worth while seeing.
The Supt. of the sheep show has
been bo successful this year that
over nine different breeds will be
on exhibition. All of the larger
sheep outfits of Northern Arizona
will have exhibits at this year's fair,
Al Tyler who last year was a
judge in the poultry department
upon completing his work said,
''There never was a better all
around exhibition of ducks, tur
keys, pigeons and ostriches in any
show I have ever attended, and I
have worked continuously as a
judge for the past ten years in dif
ferent states from the Atlantic to
the Pacific." This year the ehow
Al Tyler was speaking of will far
surpass that of any previous year.
In the past the apiary and dairy
departments have been small, this
year there is keen rivalry and the
dairy exhibits in particular will
be one of the most interesting on
the fair grounds. ,
The women's department with its
various branches, culinary, fine
arts, and textile fabrics is always
interesting and special premiums
have brought an increased number
of exhibitors.
It is to be expected that follow
ing last year's contest for the ban
ner Agricultural county prize, that
this year more concern will be paid
by the County Commissioners to
this department. As one agricul
turalist put it, "The county that
wins first prize this year will know
that they have been in some fight."
Yuma, Cochise, Pima, Yavapai
and Maricopa are all going after
it and will have big exhibits at the
fair.
. The exhibits for the educaiional
department have been so carefully
planned that with but few excep
tions every school district in Ari
zona will berepresented.
Of course the speed events on
the race track, both horse and
automobile, are the principal pan
of the afternoon program. The
automobile drivers are some of tbe
best known men in their line in
the country. While of the horses
entered fully seventy per cent have
performed upon the grand circuit.
The Phoenix Board of Trade
have opened an information bureau
containing lists of several thous
and roomB which can be secured
at reasonable rates. Visitors to
the fair should write or telegraph
to Harry Welch, Secretary of the
organization, for reservations. This
bureau will be open day and night.
' You cannot afford to miss this
year's territorial fair. Railroad
rate for the round trip from Wil
liams, $8 75.
P. N. Snyder, the railroad con
tractor, accompanied by his wife
left for Los Angeles Wednesday
for a few days visit with friends.
"The Williams Theater is remod
eling : tbeir theater to meet tbe
rules of the Board of Underwriters.
The insurance company requested
Mr. Swinegrover to enlarge the en
trance bo that in case of fire, the
audience could get out quickly as
is the rule in all theaters. Mr.
Swinegrover has enlarged the en
trance already and by Saturday
night tbe box where the machine
is. w'M be lined with asbestos and
tin, making it positively fireproof
and' meet tbe rules of the Board of
Underwriters.
J. H. Hudson and J. H. Attwood
left yesterday for an overland trip
by automobile to the Denton Land
Colony holdings in Texas. Both
gentlemen are heavily interested
in this land colony, and will
thoroughly inspect their land be
fore returning. They will travel
in two automobiles and go by way
of El Paso; thence to San Antonio,
and from there to the Denton
Colonv. It will be a fine trip if
they do not get stalled the desert.
.Wm. Miller and J. L. Elder,
both late from Weed, California,
arrived in Williams Sunday morn
ing enroute to New Orleans. They
stopped over and spent the day,
while Will met his host of friends
and well wishers many of whom
were loath to see him leave. Mr.
Miller has been head filer for tbe
Weed Lumber Company for tbe
past eighteen months, and is now
on a sightseeing trip to the south.
There was another shuffle of the
cards at tbe local depot this week
and the line up, as near as we can
figure it out, is as follows: R. C.
Barnard, day freight cashier; Guy
Riggs, day bill clerk; Sam Deger
ing, day ticket agent and cashier;
Earl Rawlins, day baggageman;
H. D. Coley, night baggageman;
Robbins, night ticket man; G.
F. Kuhn, is in charge of the freight
depot.
Harvesting is now about com
pleted on the west Bide of the Bill
Williams mountain, and the far
merB report a prosperous year. Ei
Hunter, as usual, takes the lead
and haa harvested about 500 bush
els of corn and about the usual
amount of potatoes and cabbage
W. J. Parker and the Smith broth
era also harvested good crops of
corn, potatoes and hay.
W. W. Goode will leave today
for Phoenix with Wm. Miller's fast
mare Briar Rose, which haB been
entered in the free for all running
race. It is confidently expected
by Mr. Millers many friends that
Briar Rose will bring home the
long end of the purse. Goode will
ride tbe little mare in the big
event.
Geo. S. Patien, who has been
doing duty as town marshal during
the absence of C. S. Patterson, has
made a splendid officer and has
shown his ability as a policeman.
The News would like to see the
business men take the matter in
hand and see that he is appointed
regular night marshal. Williams
certainly needs a night officer.
Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Patterson
and little daughter returned home
Wednesday on No. 1 from their
month's vacation spent in Chicago
and St. Louis. They report a very
enjoyable time, but were pleased to
get home. ' Mr. Pattereou has re
sumed bis duties as town marshal
and special Santa Fe officer.
Last Sunday" Buggeln & Kinser,
C. E. Boyce and Wm. Donaldson
shipped ten cars of cattle to Los
Angeles and Sin Diego. The
cattle were in exceptionally fine
condition and averaged 1125
pounds.
The infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William Dalton died last
Saturday evening and was buried
Sunday afternoon. The little one
was about three months old.
SHOOTING AFFRAY
AT RAILROAD CAMP
A shooting affray occured at
Fairview, a Biding abcut fourteen
miles west of William", last Sun
day, and a Mexican named Antonio
Traebero is lying in the county
hospital at Flagstaff with a badly
mangled leg and may probably die,
as the result of the wound, and
Andreas Maecelo, the Mexican who
did the shooting, is a prisoner in
the county jail.
The shooting occurred over a fair
senorita, Maria Diez. It seems
that the Diez woman and Maecelo
were living together, and Maecelo
became jealous over the attentions
being paid by Traebero to his fair
partner. Last Sunday evening
Traebelo called at the shack occu
pied by Marcelo and the Diez
woman, remaining about half an
hour, when he left and started for
the camp where he was employed
Marcelo left tne shack while Trae
belo was there and borrowed a
Winchester from another Mexican
and laid in wait for bis supposed
rival. When Traebelo came along
Marcelo fired, the ball entering the
fleshy part of the thigh, completely
shattering the bone, causing what
is belieyod at this time to be a
fatal wound.
Deputy Sheriffs Pulliam and
Tackett were telegraphed for and
arrived at Fairview Monday after
noon and soon bad all the parties
under arrest. They were all taken
to Flagstaff on the evening train
Monday evening.
The officers haye been busy all
week looking for witnesses for the
preliminary, examination of Mae
celo, which will be held as soon as
the condition of the wounded man
will permit, if the wound does not
prove fatal. " '
Nimrods Numerous
Nimrods in Williams are too
numerous to enumerate, some are
better however than others. City
Attorney Geo. W. Glowner wsnt
out around Bill Williams moun
tain Saturday last and stayed all
night at the Smith Bros., ranch.
Sunday morning he with Mr.
Smith got 1 out of bed about 4
o'clock and rode about six miles
in a Boutherly direction from tbe
Smith ranch across Hell's canyon
where the game were supposed to
be plentiful. The hunters there
encountered several other enthu
siastic hunters; among them Mr
Carlson and son, Mat Ern and
others.
While deer and turkey seemed
to be plentiful none of the sports
men were lucky except the legal
light. He bagged three turkeys.
Mr. Glowner came home Sunday
evening and Monday morning
shipped his successful bag to bis
mother, who is 80 year? of age, in
Los Angeles.
Mr. Glowner says he was deter
mined his mother, who, when she
was a young woman on the frontier
of Missouri, ate wild turkey, should
enjoy one more feast of that highly
prized game bird.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
AT RAILROAD CAMP
W. H. Erwin, foreman of tbe
L. J. Smith Construction Co , wan
fatally injured at 6 o'clock last
Saturday night by a blast. The
men had just put off the last shot
of the day and Mr. Erwin hart
taken shelter beneath one of the
dirt cars. Tbe blaBt was an
unusal heavy one and tbe rock and
dirt were thrown several feet in
tbe air. The car under which Mr.
Erwin was taking shelter from the
debris is one of those dirt cars that
are operated by chains to dump
the dirt on either side of the track
and it is supposed that a large rock
came down on tbe Bide of the ear
where Erwin was and tiltered the
car over on his head, fracturing his
skull. He was brought into the
city at once and the doctors dressed ,
the wound as best they could.
Mr. Erwin is a recent arrival
here, having come from Ft. Worth,
Texas, about two weekB ago. His
wife was notified at Ft. Worth and
she left Ft. Worth Sunday and
arrived in Williams Wednesday.
Mr. Erwin died Tuesday morn
ing, having never gained conscious
ness and let us hope that he never
realized what struck him. The
little round hole in the base of his
skull was viewed by several people
and one can hardly believe that
the blow that struck him could,
hardly cause his. death. Mrs.
Erwin who was expected to ar
rive Tuesday night has not arrived
yet and the L- J. Smith Construct
ion Co., who have kept the wires
hot in trying , to locate her; ever
since she was supposed to have left
Ft Worth, Tex., Sunday morninp,
are at a loss to know what has be
come of her. They wired her funds
at El Paso immediately upon her
request and advices from the ticket
agent there ehow she never called
for transportation Great . credit
should be given . Mr Scott Mitchell
of the Smith Construction company
in doing all in his power to save .
the life of this man, sparing - no ex-
pense with physican and nurses.
. The remalnB were shipped to
Ft. Worth. Texas. Frtdsy morning
at the expense of the Smith Con
struction Co., although the Masona
and Odd Fellows are willing to do
so, Mr. Erwin was a member of
these two orders as well as tbe
Knights of Pythias and advices
from Ft. Worth show Mr. Erwin
to be a man of honor, a loving
husband and a kind father.
, Mr. Erwin leaves a wife and
seven children to mourn hia death.
The most' interesting pictures eo
far shewn at the Williams Theater
have been presented this week, and
the attendance has been good each
evening. The Friday evening pic
tures for the little folks are proving
to be far more successful than was
anticipated by Mr. Swingrover the
manager, and he is leaving nothing
undone that will add to tbeir
amusement and at the eame time,
instruct them in many ways. It
will do the children good to send
them to his entertainment each
Friday evening, after a week's hard
study in echool.
The Overland Telephone Com
pany now have direct connections
from Holbrook, and all points ter
minating at Holbrook, with Can
yon Diablo, Flagstaff, Williams,
Ash Fork, Jerome and ther points
south. This will be a grea' con
venience to the busings? men re
siding here, as heretofore the need
of carrying on conversations with
the points mentioned . has been
great, and a long felt want baa
been fulfilled Holbrook Argus.

contractor and business man of
Holbrook, Ariz., transacted busi
ness in town Thursday.
