NAVAJO BLANKETS
' WORTH EIG HONEY
The following was clipped
from a New York paper, and
.a Flagstaff jobber was in New
York about that time.
One of. the partners in a west
ern dry goods jobbing concern
which handles, large quantities
of Navajo blankets was in New
York the other day and dropped
in on a firm which also sells
quantities of blankets. He was
not known to the man in charge
"of the blanket department and
on asking how much Navajo
blankets sold for in New York
was greatly surprised to be told
that 300 was not an unusual
price. As his firm on! y gets $35
or thereabout for good blankets.,
he asked the New York dealer:
"What makes them so high?"
"Well, you see." was the ex
planation, given with a serious--ness
which left the westerner
convinced that the New York
man thought so himself, "collec
ting Navajo blankets is a danger-,
ous business. There are such
hardships connected with get
ting them that increases their
value. Why, do you know, three
out five men we send out to
the wilds to buy the blankets are
killed bv those savatre In-
dians!"
"That's the kind of a man,"
said the western merchant, as
he told the story, "who thinks,
buffaloes stiil roam the streets
' of Kansas City." Flagstaff Sun.
One of the bjggest loads of
freight that has gone out of Hol

Pacific railroad, now the Santa

The only living relatives Mr.
Dunlap has is a

half brother in
and another in
Seattle, a sister having died just
three weeks ago at Indianapolis.
Impressive fnneral services
were held at the pera House,
the Rev. J. Andrew Arnett offici
ating. All the business houses
were closed during the ceremony,
and although the day was rather
windy and disagreeable, many oi

1 SELECTS ASSISTANT
Upon, telegraphic instructions
from Washington, United States
District Attorney Joseph E. Mor
rison today appointed a second
assistant. He ' selected O. T.
Richey of Tucson for the posi
tion. ' ' :
Permission to appoint another
assistant for Mr. Morrison was
telegraphed for yesterday after
the United States district court
had convened and it became
apparent that there would be
a great deal of federal bus
iness requiring attention. A3
soon as he was granted leave
to secure another assistant; Mr.
Morrison appointed Judge
Richey, one of the best known
lawyers in Arizona. For a long
time he was justice' of the peace
at Tucson.
J. C. Forrest of Prescott is Mr.
Morrison's first assistant, and
has been, ever since the Bisbee
lawyer was appointed United
States district attorney for Ari
zona. -Arizona Republican.
Fort Sumner, having seen the
train de luxe, feels quite metro
nolitan. The Fort Sumner Re
view says: "The night-owl'
bunch were treated to the sight
of twelve west bound passenger
trains on Wednesday night and
even had a view of the train de
luxe. But as this place is only a
whistling post, the examination
of this famous flyer was limited
to the head and tail lights; in
fact, most of 'em went so fast it
was; 'here she" comes there she

Jury Session of The
Superior Court Postponed.e8Sherethisweek-
Realizing the necessity for an
early Jury Session of the Super
ior Court for the disposal of the
Criminal Calendar, Judge Sapp
issued an order calling for Grand
and Trial Juries to be in attend
ance on the Court on March 11th
and 14th, respectively, but since
the issuance of the order for the
Juries, it has become apparent
to . the Court and the County
Attorney that there was
grave doubt as to the legality
of summoning and empaneling
a Grand Jury .under the pro
cedure of the existing law, as
much of it has been superceded
by the provisions of the new
State. Constitution and conflict
ing with the present Statutes to
such an extent as to make, the
procedure uncertain, to sav the
least.
The best legal authorities in the
State are holding back and have
not as yet called a Jury Session
of their Courts in Criminal cases.
It was with great reluctance that
Judge Sapp issued the order
postponing the Jury Session
of the Court, but it was con
sidered better todo so than to
cause the attendance of a Grand
Jury that might be subject to
challenge,- thereby causing their
diachsrge, which would involve
much expense and inconvenience
to all concerned.
In connection with the order
postponing the attendance of
Jurors, the Clerk was instructed
to notify all Jurors ar-d witness
es that had already been sum
moned to ignore and wholly disre
gard said summons to appear as
I commanded therein.

Attorney that there was lack of
sufficient evidence to' warrant a

The News is in receipt of í

dering the paper, sent to him at

he tells of a recent experience
as follows: .

had bean hibernating out on the
Panhandle prairies in the deep
snow. They were mostly thawed
