WHAT YOU SHOULD DO TO
BE EUUIE TO - VOTE
There is considerable misunder
standing over the matter of regis
tration for the coming city elec
tion to be held on May 26th. At
torney General Bullard says that
any person who was registered for
the general election in 1912, or
voted at that election is not re
quired to register again.
Persons who have moved into
Flagstaff a sufficient length of
time to gain a legal residence and
who have been registered in other
places, may have their registra
tion canceled and re-register here
by showing the cancellation from
the proper officer where the voter
originally registered.
The new law has made many
complications and but few know
just what is the right thing to do.
County Recorder Dan Cronin
informs us that the registration
books will be opened on the first
Monday in May.
The ladies will have to register
at that time, giving their age,
previous condition of servitude
etc., if they desire to vote at the
city election.
Sheriff Pulliam was in Ash Fork
Thursday.
J. V. Fisher was up from
Jerome this week and left again
for the Smelter City Thursday.
Mrs. T. E. Pulliam went to
Tucson Thursday having in charge
a couple children for the Sister's
school at that place.
It is reported that logging at
Greenlaws mill will commence
within the next three weeks. All
preparations are being made for
active operations.
Ed Gillie was in Bellemont the
first of the week and reports that
active logging operations will
commence in all the Saginaw
camps between the 1st and 5th of
April.
Charles Lindstrom, logging
foreman for the Saginaw & Man
istee Lumber Co., left this week
for Duluth, Minn., to secure more

COLORED TEXAS TRAIN
ROBBERS CAPTURED
The two colored men captured
at Williams for having exercised
undue liberties with Special Officer
Patterson with a gun, prove to
have been two train robbers
wanted in El Paso for having
held up a train in that section
sometime ago.
One giving his name as William
Pruitt was sent over the road
Tuesday morning by Judge Per
kins on an indeterminate sentence
of from one to three years for his
too free use of a gun at Williams.
The other colored man who is
going by the name of Albert Grey
was at first held as a witness, but
Sheriff Pulliam became suspicious
of "him and sent the pictures of
both men to the authorities at El
Paso. Word came back that
Albert Gray alias Gibson and
Pruitt were both wanted for train
robbery and that extradition papers
would be taken out for them.
Pruitt, however, got his sentence
and the Texas authorities will
have to wait until he serves under
Gov. Hunt a short time. Pruitt
was taken to Florence Tuesday
morning by Deputy Sheriff Frank
Fairchild. Gray will be held until
the Texas sheriff arrives and takes
him back to his old stamping
grounds for trial. Gray is said to
be a dope fiend.
Blown Up With Dynamite
Pedro Caldron was blown up by
a premature explosion of dynamite
at Milton Tuesday afternoon, while
blasting for a cess pool at the
Seitz residence. As a result of the
blast Caldron lost three fingers
from his right hand and sustained
a fracture of his left leg, Just
how the accidental discharge oc
curred Caldron was unable to state.
Make Start for July 4th Now
Now is the time to commence
operations and appoint committees
to arrange for our annual 4th of
July celebration. By taking
plenty of time a bigger and better
celebration can be pulled off. It
may seem early to some but it is
only about three months away and
everything should not be left until
the last as is usually done.
INJURY CAUSES DEATH
AT A. L. I T. MILL
Manuel Crespo, a Spaniard,
working on the edger at the A. L.
& T. sawmill, was struck in the
abdomen by a board Tuesday
afternoon and so badly injured
that ht died Wednesday night at
the Milton hospital after having
been operated upon.
He was working on the edger
when the saw stiuck a knot
stopping the machine, in releasing
the board the saw started, kicking
the heavy board back with fatal
results. He lived about twenty
four hours after the accident. He
was a single man about forty years
of age.
School News
The settlers in McLean Valley
ten miles northeast of Williams
are anxious to have a school dis
trict established in trfeir settle
ment, and County Supt. Layton
went over the ground last week
investigating conditions and is of
the opinion that there should be
a school there and will so recom
mend to the board of supervisors
at their next meeting.
Prominent Tourist Party Here
Mr. and Mrs. James Storror
of Boston, accompanied by W.
W. Huererett a well known Grand
Canyon guide, arrived in Flagstaff
the first of the week and have
been outfitting for an overland
trip to the many points of interest
in the Navajo Indian reservation
country. They expect to be gone
on the trip .most of the summer.
WANTS FLAGSTAFF TO
HAVE AN ARMORY
Colonel Chas. W. Harris, adju
tant general of the Arizona Nat
ional Guard, accompanied by
Major H. H.Donkersley of Yuma,
was in Flagstaff Wednesday mak
ing a causual inspection of Com
pany I and endeavoring to work
up some enthusiasm among the
citizens generally on an armory
proposition. Under the new state
law the state will put up $5,000
provided the city will put up an
equal amount for an armory build
ing. A good sized armory would be
a valuable asset for Flagstaff and
could be used on many occasions
where other buildings are too
limited in space. While other
towns have taken up the matter,
organizing rifle clubs and take an
interest in the National Guard,
Flagstaff has not even given them
any thought, though .Captain Rob
ison has brought the local com
pany up to a high standard of ef
ficiency by hard and continuous
work. His small armory is fitted
up with a small shooting gallery
and is usad as a club room for the
men evenings. Captain Robison
is entitled to much credit for his
wprk and should be given assis
tance by the business men generally;
Wants Fair Investigation
The determination of State Au
ditor Callaghan to probe to the
very depths of the scandalous
stories that have been from time
to time circulating in the state
about the state reform school will
meet with hearty approval by cit
izens of the state generally, says
the Douglas International. Mr.
Cdllaghan is made a member of
the board of control, having the
reform school in charge. He says
that although he has been denied
any voice in the choosing of the
managers of the institution, and
that reports received about the
disgraceful conditions by .the gov
ernor have been concealed from
him, he is determined to see that
there is wholesome publicity re
garding present conditions at Fort
Grant.

in the county jail for gathering up
eggs that did not belong to them
were again captured Monday at
Ash Fork and brqught back here
for having robbed a camp of Mr.
Allen at Bellemont a few days
before. They only took a small
quantity of clothing. The goods
were mostly recovered and as the
young hoboes were only about 18

not to get on this side the county
line again. They promised heartily
and hiked enthusiastically away.

A Rmg-Around-a-Rose
A gentleman by the name of
Rose, who formerly owned a red
lunch wagon at Williams, started
something that it will be hard for
him to stop. He mortgaged hit
red grubbery and then accidentally
sold it, forgetting the mortgage.
"Bony" Smith purchased the out
fit, later learned that it was mort
gaged and stopped payment on
the check. In the meantime Rose
cashed the check at Ben Sweet
wood's. There wasn't muih said
about the affair through Rose
thought he would bloom better in
Texas for a while. A ladv friend
made inquiries as to whether or
not there was a warrant out for
Rose and believed she had learned
that there was not. She wrote
Rose and advised him of the in
formation she secured. Rose
arose and dropped into Flagstaff
Sunday when Bill Dickinson, the
official human fish, dived into him
and landed him in the hoozegow.
Rose was disceminating his per
fumery in Williams before Judge
Rounseville Monday at a prelimi
nary hearing on a charge of felony.
BURGLARIES RAMPANT
LAST MONDAY NIGHT
Three burglaries were commit
ted last Sunday night in Flagstaff
and from the similarity of their
operations were all committed by
the same person or persons.
Wm. Conley's Eagle Pool hall
was broken into from the front on
Railroad avenue, by prying open
a door leading into the Mexican
section of the house, and the place
was robbed of about $20 in cash
found in the cash drawer.
The Eagle restaurant was
broken into by the front way
along in the night sometime and
the robbers gathered up between
$18 and ?20 out the till, then be
coming desperate swiped a brand
new bottle of Ketchup that had
hardly been used at all.
B. Hock's news stand was
broken open by practically the
same tactics used on the other
buildings, but the thieves went
away empty handed as Mr. Hock,
always accommodating, left the
cash register wide open but
empty.
Owing to the fact that the thieves
were undoubtedly in a great hurry
and not acquainted, they left no
clew they took the ketchup bottle
with them.
Dangers Smoke With Smoke-Stick
County Attorney C. B. Wilson
was in Williams Friday attending
a preliminary hearjng of a couple
colored men, one of whom got the
drop on special officer Patterson
Thursday evening in the railroad
yards with a gun. Patterson had
forgotten his artillery when he
made his rounds and when he
ordered the colored hobo away,
the colored gentleman produced a
big smoke-stick and compelled
Patterson to hurry around some
to get out of the way. The men
were bound over and brought to
the county jail Friday evening.
Dick Fleming to Marry
The following item clipped
from the Leader of Brookhaven,
Miss., will be of interest here, as
Mr. Fleming who is a son of Mrs.
J . F. McCarroll, has many warm
friends in both the business and
social life of Hammond.
"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Deaqon
Evans announces the engagement
of their daughter, Norma Belle to
Richard Henry Fleming, of
Holden, La. The wedding will
take place early in June. Every
body knows Norma Evans, one of
our most beautiful and attractive
young ladies. The wonder is
that we have been able to keep
her as long as we have, so mag
netic is her personality and so
great have been the number who
have laid siege to the fair citadel
of her heart. In Mr. Fleming she
has at last found her ideal.
"Mr. Fleming was employed in
Brookhaven some time ago as
secretary to Mr. A. W. Maxwell
and is favorably remembered by
friends. He is one of the fore
most young lumbermen of the
south and at present is with the
McCarroll Lumber Co., of Holden,
La., serving as secretary. He is
a native of South Carolina."
Hammond (La.) Daily Herald.
Mr, Fleming is well and favor
ably known in Flagstaff, having
spent a couple years or more here
with the clerical force of the A. L.
& T. Co. His friends here will
be pleased to learn of the coming
of the happy event.
School Election Saturday
There will be a school election
for one trustee of Flagstaff School
Distiict No. 1 tomorrow, held at
the Emerson school. So far as
known there will be only one can
didate, George Herrington to suc
ceed himself.
The qualifications for voters are
that they either have paid taxes
the previous year or have children
of school age.
With but one candidate so far
in the field it will undoubtedly be
a spirited affair.
