YOUNG CAVE BANDITS BELIEVED TO
"' ' BE DUFFY MURDERERS CAPTURED
Ed Duffy, a member of the firm of
Duffy Brothers at Williams was shot
and killed by a burglar last Fridav
niht- , .
Mr. Duffy"was sleeping in the
store and heard a suspicious noise at
the rear door. He found two young
men trying to get in; one of them
immediately fired at Duffy with a
six-shooter, the ball passing through
his lung. Thus wounded he run out
of the store and across the street to
the office of the justice of the peace,
where ho.fcll and was picked up. He
lived long enough to give a fairly
good description of the two young
men whom he caught breaking inCo
the store.
In a very short time afterwards
Deputy Sheriff Chas. Wade and Bob
by Burns picked up a young "man on
the tracks answering the description
of one of the men wanted. He gave
his name as Ed. Sickles and said hi3
home was in Missouri. He was about
19 years of age.
A young man giving- his name as
Earl Bailey was captured the follow
ing day in a cave some fifteen miles
southwest of Williams by a posse
composed of Mr. and Mrs. W. K.
Brown, Bob Gamble and a young
Mexican working for Brown. Bailey
had stopped at the Brown ranch for
breakfast before they had heard of
the murder. As soon as they" knew of
it and some of the circumstances of
the killing, they started on trail of
the man in an auto and by sharp
lookout kept his trail until they came
up to the cave. They saw smoke
coming out and went forward and
called for the man to come out. He
came out and was covered with three
rifles as he made his appearance. He
HOW TO CONVERT
YOUR WAR STAMPS
Secretary of he Treasury W. G.
McAdoo has wired to state directors
for the" War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps giving directions for
the redemption of series 1918 stamps
left unsold in the hands of authorized
first class agents in stamps of the
1919 series, the redemption period be
ing from January 1 to 10.
War Savings Stamps of the series
of 1918 which remain unsold in the
"'hands of first class authorized agen
cies for their sale, largely the banks,
will be computed at a value of $4.24
per stamp. The first class authorized
agencies hought them for cash at the
various cost ficures for 1918, starting
at $4.12 last January and running up
a cent a month until December when
they cost $4.23, and in the exchange
for 1919 series stamps the first class
authorized agencies are, therefor, en
titled to interest on their money the
same as any other investors in W.S.S.
in exchanging for 1919 series W.
S: S. the new stamps start off at the
same price for January that the 1918
stamps did, $4.12 and the old stamps
will be redeemed at a price of 4.24
with new stamps at a price of $4.12,
the difference being paid in Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each and any
fractional balance which cannot be
met with a 25 cent payment will .be
paid in cash.
That, in brief, is the plan of ex
change. As it is outlined in full in
Secretary McAdoo's telegram it is as
follows:
"The aggregate value of war sav
ings certificate stamps series of 1918
received from such authorized agent
of the first class for exchange shall
be computed at the price of $4.25 for
each such war savings certificate
stamp. The bank or trust company
making the exchange shall then de
liver, in exchange therefor to such
authorized agent of the first class war
savings certificate stamps of 1919
computed at the price of $4.12 each
to the extent that the same may be
delivered without exceeding the ag
gregate value of the war saving cer
tificate stamps, series of 1918 received
for exchange and computed as above
required. Any balance remaining of
such aggregate value shall be paid bv
delivery of United States Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each to the ex
tent that may be done without ex
ceeding such balance and any balance
remaining shall be paid in cash. Such
exchange may be made only on pre
sentation by the authorized agent of
. the first class of his certificate of ap
pointment for sale of war savings
certificate stamps scries of 1918 .bear
ing facsimile signature of the secre
tary of the treasury. An incorporat
ed bank or trust company receiving
war savings certificate stamps series
of 1918 for collection or exchange is
authorized to deliver on or before
January 20, 1919, such war savings
certificate stamps series 1918 so re
ceived to the Federal Reserve Bank of
its district with a statement setting
forth the name of the authorized
agent of the first class from whom
the same have been received and the
number of stamps received from such
agent. On receipt thereof the Fed
eral Reserve Bank as fiscal agent of
the United States will pay such bank
or trust company $4.24 in respect of
each war savings certificate stamp se
ries of 1918 so delivered or at the op
tion of such bank or trust company
will deliver in lieu of paying cash war
savings certificates stamps series 1919
computed at $4.12 each and United
Stttes Thrift Stamps computed at 25
cents each and cash to an aggregate
.not exceeding the aggregate value of
the war savings certificate stamps se
ries of 1918 computed at $4.25 so re
ceived. "The foregoing provisions apply on-
was taken to Williams and the cave
was searched. In the cave was found
a couple of rifles which had been
stolen at Kingman, ammunition, gro
ceries and a quarter of beef along
with many other nrticlrs, which led
to the belief that they had been liv
ing on the country for some time and
intended to make the cave a rendez
vous for a longer time to come.
A picture and a book with Sickles'
name in it connected up the two
'youthful bandits with conclusive evi
1 dence that Sickles had been a partner
in the cave home.
The credit for the capture of Bailey
goes to W. K. Brown and his direction
of the little posse under his command.
Mr. Brown docs not seem to bo inclin
ed to take any credit for a little
thing like that, but generally speak
ing, in the ranch country where he
lives, there is an impression that men
might a good deal better play square
around where he takes a nana.
Sheriff Dickinson feels that there is
little.qucstion but what he has the
right men, for they agree that they
attempted to break into the Duffv
Brothers store, but neither one of
them knows who fired the shot that
took the life of Ed. Duffy. They say
they heard it and then made their es
cape as fast as they could. Since
there was no one else in that vicinity
at the time, the only question to solve
semms to be as to which one did it.
Bailey claims his home is in San
Francisco where he registered for the
draft and papers found on him go to
prove his statement.
The two men waived their prelimi
nary examination at Williams and
were brought to the county jail to
await further action in their cases.
SIX MILLION HUNS
WERE SACRIFICED
When the total German casualties
are published the number of dead will
be about two million, according to the
Cologne Gazette of November 25. Up
to October 25 the total casualties re
ported were C,0GG,769, of which more
than 4,750,000 were Prussians. The
total includes the naval casualties,
'which were 70,000, comprising more
than 25,000 dead, more than 15,000
missing and nearly 29,000 wounded.
The Cologne paper uses-the word
"appalling" in describing the casual
ties among the officers. Tht total on
October 24 included 44,700 officers
killed, 82,460 officers wounded and
13,600 missing, a total of 140,760.
The loss in officers alone, the pa
per points out, exceeds the total cas-
ualties of Germany in the Franco-
Prussian war of 1870.
GOVERNOR-ELECT TO
TAKE SEAT JAN.
Governor-elect Thomas E. Camp
bell, who has been attending the gov
ernors' conference, is expected home
Monday. He will probably announce
his appointments shortly after
Christmas. Governor Campbell will
take office on Monday, January 6th.
Whether there will be any formal in
auguration ceremonies will rest with
him. It is thought that he will deliv
er a short inauguration address from
the portico of the capitol, as ho did
in 1917 when he took office.
MERRITT CRAIG DEAD.
Merritt Craig, a well known cattle
man of this county for many years,
passed away last Saturday morning.
Mr. Craig suffered an attack of in
fluenza, followed by pneumonia, and
a fine constitution and a gallant fight
did not avail against the disease.
Mr. Craig has been a part of Coco
nino county's history for more than
twenty years. Cattle, stock and
ranching in his later years have oc
cupied his time. He was admired by
all who knew him and was honored
for the straightforwardness of his
character and the quality of his daily
life. A long list of friends mourn
with the bereaved relatives.
He leaves behind him a hrother. a
sister and a married daughter. In
terment was in the city cemetery.
Funeral services for Merritt Craig
were held on Thursday afternoon, at
2 o'clock, from the parlors of the Ari
zona Undertaking company. Rev O.

Wednesday night.

friends of Mr. Craig in offering their
sympathy to the loved ones who
grieve at parting with one so well
loved and respected during his life
time.

REV. MITCHELL'S HOUSE
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
In a letter to Postmaster Frank No-
ble, Rev. Mitchell tells of the destruc-
tion of his home at Tolchaco. Speak-
ing of his loss 'he says:
Tolchaco, Ariz., Dec. 21st.
Dear Friends:
We were burned out of house and
home today between nine o'clock and
noon, The weather was not very
cold, a rain and snow storm that was
coming down from the mountain seem
ed to be held up on our account.
Some of our people were away but
those who were here worked like tig
ers. The traders people also, came to
our help. Tonight with the snow bq
ginning to fall we are all under cover,
and praising God for Rom. 8:28: "We
know that all things work together for
good to them that love God."
Our loss is quite serious, most of
us have just the clothes we stand in
without a change. Our winter supply
of provisions is gone. We lost all our
girls' bedding and practically all their
clothing. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, though from the fact that it
started in the roof it may have been
from a defective flue, something we
felt sure we did not have.
As we do not wish to rebuild on
this site which is threatened by the
river we ask your fellowship in prayer
that our dear Heavenly Father will
guide us very clearly as to his plan
for the future of the school, the tem
porary buildings we should erect, etc.
We think the Presbyterian Board ha t
some insurance on the building.
We assure you that we are full of
confidence in God that He will fulfill
to us His sure promise, "My God
shall supply all your need," so that
we can "Take joyfully the spoiling of
our goods, knowing that in Heaven
we have a more enduring substance."
Sincerely yours,
F. G. MITCHELL.
Mrs. W. M. Hughes of Milton, has
been confined to her bed by sickness
for several days past and friends are
sorry to learn that there is no decid
ed improvement in her condition.
HOW THE BILLIONS HAVE BEEN
SPENT BY THE GOVERNMENT
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 23. Car
tor Glass, the new Secretary of llnMoun should take the form of bonds of
Treasury, in a telegram to Governor
James K. Lynch of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District, announces that
expenditures of the government dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1918, exceeded nine billion six hundred
million dollars, and that expenditures
in the month of November were near
ly $2,000,000,000. In the current
month of December up to and includ
ing December 16, expenditures ex
ceeded $1,000,000,000. It is estimated
that the total expenditures of the fis
cal year will be $18,000,000,000.
Secretary Glass favors short matur
ities for the Fifth Liberty Loan and
announces that the Treasury Depart
ment will continue the sale of War
Savings Stamps and Certificates in a
most energetic manner.
The complete telegram to Governor
Lynch follows:
"Millions of Americans have con
tributed in the most vital, tangible
and necessary way to the winning of
the war. They have loaned their dol
lars to their country with no small
sacrifice of personal comfort and en
joyment, and have given largely of
personal effort and service. For all
time we have disproved the slander
that Americans arp a money-loving
people, incapable of rising above ma
terialistic things. In the eighteen
short months of the war American
people subscribed for eighteen .billion
dollars of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Certificates.
"The banking institutions and the
people of the country financed the rc
(Uiirements of the war in anticipation
of the Liberty Loans and of the taxes
for the fiscal year ended June 30.
1918, by the purchase of a total of
$12,500,000,000 of Treasury Certifi
cates of Indebtedness, all of which ha?
been retired or provided for out of
taxes or bond issues at the time the
armistice was signed.
"The expenditures of the govern
ment, excluding transactions in the
principal of the public debt, during the
current fiscal year, beginning July 1,
1918, to and including December 1G,
1918, exceeded $9,GO0,000,00O. Expen.
diturcs in the month of November
nearly equalled $2,000,000,000 and in
the current month of December, to and
including December, to and including
December 16, exceeded one billion
dollars.
"The proceeds of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan so far received have all
been spent, and the remaining in
stallments payable on suDscnptions
to that loan will be needed to meet
maturing Treasury Certificates of In
debtedness issued in anticipation of
that Loan, and as yet unpaid. Since
the armistice was signed Secretary
McAdoo has estimated that the cash
outgo from the Treasury during the
current fiscal year ending June 30,
1919. will amount to sis.uuu.uuu.uuu,
and much more than half of that
amount has alreadv been expended in
the five and one-half months which
have elansed. The treaty of peace has
not yet been signed, nor any part oi
our army demobilized. Production of
war materials and supplies had
reached the peak at the time the ar
mistice was signed and the bills in
curred during that period of maxi
mum production must be paid.
"The Treasury must issue anotner
large loan .before the end of the fiscal
year and I am entirely in accord with

FOR A BETTER BOARD OF TRADE
It has been suggested, along with
other plans and ideas for a more en
ergetic and better supported Board of
Trade, that the rate of assessment be
changed somewhat. The yearly dues
heretofore have been the same for ev
erybody, namely, $5.00 a year. It has
been pointed out that the' ones deriv
ing the most benefit from a larger,
better and busier Flagstaff would be
those who have the. largest investment
here, and that as the Board of Trade
is for that purpose only, they should
bear a larger portion of the cost of its
maintainancc. No assessment in de
tail has been figured out, simply the
idea advanced that the work of im
provement should be paid for in pro
portion to one's investment in the
town.
.the policy alreadv outlined that this
short maturity,
"It is vitally important that the
Treasury should continue in a most
energetic way the sale of. War Savings
Stamps and Certificates. Among the
valuable and much needed lessons we
have partly learned from the war, is
that of thrift and intelligent expendi
ture. "Thrift helped to win the war and
will help us to take full advantage of
a victorious peace. It is therefore im
perative that we do not relax into the
old habits of wasteful expenditure and
imperative that the habit of reasona
ble living (on the part of both large
and small means) so easily acquired
during the war period be continued.
"Millions of people have become
holders of bonds of their government,
but some of them seem to feel that
they are under no further obligation
to retain these bonds and they are
selling them and using the money for
unnecessary purposes or exchanging
them for other securities of doubtful
value. So. long as the United States
needs to sell bonds, those who hold
the present issue should not dispose
of them except under the spur of ur
gent necessity. They have invested
in the best security in the world and
it is both to their own interest and to
that of their government that these
securities' be retained.
"Organizations of patriotic men and
women numbering probably well over
two millions have been created and
have given their time and services to
the sale of liberty bonds and War
Savings Certificates. These great
bodies of earnest and patriotic people,
called together almost at the outset
of the war and augmented continual
ly by new recruits, have accomplished
a task which seems almost superhu
man. My admiration is great not only
for the work accomplished, but for the
spirit in which it was accomplished.
It is my earnest wish to retain and
continue these great organizations
until the work has been completed.
We face this work at a time when wo
are handicapped in many ways.
"There is no doubt that there is
throughout the country a feeling of
relaxation a feeling of self-satisfaction
at the work already performed
and a strontr and not unreasonable
call to take up once more individual
and business interests and activities.
The organizations were prepared for
the task which would have confronted
them had the war continued through
out the year lpl9, or longer, and I am
confident that despite these handicaps
they will not now relax their efforts
and leave the task unfinished.
Victory has come to us earlier than
we might have reasonably expected,
but victory will not cause us to neg
lect the completion of that work
which made victory possible.
"Our men on the other side still
have their work before them and so
have we. Thev will not leave until
the task is fully accomplished, nor
shall we. I am sure then that the
Treasury Department can, with, confi
dence, offer another liberty loan and

call for service and will at orie'e pre

DOC. MILLER, HE'S HOME.
Dr. E. S. Miller returned to Flag
staff Sunday from a strenuous visit
of some weeks at Concho, down where
the flu flew promisciously during his
stay. While he was down there there
were something over a hundred cases
in that section and but nine deaths,
two of which he claims occurred be
fore he arrived there. It would be
fun to say something mean about the
doctor, but the whole thing is too se

then, too, Dr. Miller hasn't any too
good a disposition, anyhow.

UNBELIEVABLE WANT
AND WOE IN ARMENIA
The retail price of quinine is $125
a pound in Tehercn, Persia, where the
influenza is spreading, say telegrams
received by the southwestern head-'
quarters of the committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian relief.
Also, around Teheran, people are
grazing in the fields like cattle, and
one instance is recorded of a baby six
months old who had been nourished
for two months with grass which its
father had chewed and given it. The
baby was brought into Bagdad after
its mother had perished on the way.
Four hundred thousand of the starv
ing Armenians and Syrians arc chil
dren, say reports from cities of Tur
key. Persia and Mesopotamia.
Wearing the same garments they
had on when driven from their homes
by the Hun, three years before, ref
ugees are pouring into relief stations
in Palestine. Their clothes "were fit
for a bonfire only," savs a relief
worker writing to the American re
lief committee.
Small Early Morning Blaze.
A small fire at the E. G. Brandt
residence on Railroad avenue Thurs
day morning brought the fire boys out
at 4:30. The fire originated in the
fireplace and burned through the
floor doing about $50 worth of dam
age to the building and furniture, but
was soon extinguished.
