o WINSLOW is The Metropolis of Northern Arizona. VOL 25. Bootlegger Tactics Endorsed. Contrary to the settled policy of the Mail we must give our hearty endorsement to the policy of an alleged bootlegger who recently started in business at Holbrook, and retired with his first fat profits. A fellow, giv ing his occupation as a painter, has been hanging out at Hol brook for several weeks, and dur ing the time got real friendly with the denizens of that burg who did not object to buying a little tonic from time to time. He was a real good fellow 7 with the boys, and last week he quietly made the fact known that he was going to Gallup for a day or two, and if any of them wanted a little Christmas cheer he would be glad to bring some back if they furnished the coin to make the purchase. As near as we are able to learn the total amount of invigorator needed by the boys at the county seat tota - led about $l5O, and they were at tie train to wish him a safe! journey. He went as far east as A larnana, and then bought a ticket for Los Angeles, where he is'now probably enjoying himself in the balmy clime with funds sufficient to keep him until spring. This bootlegger has our hearty support and w T e hope others will work the same game. Taere is another moral to this t fie. Don’t pay over your money to strangers, but patronize the established dealers who aie re gularly in the business. Midnight Mass.

The fire bell startled the usual placid community Wednesday morning when it was discovered one of the rooms over Drumm’s barber shop was filled with smoke.

The room was occupied by John Drumm, one of the night men at the shops, and about half an hour before the discovery of the fire Will Hogue had called the sleep er, and in a friendly scuffle the fire from Hogue’s cigarette land ed in the bedding unnoticed. The moral is that young men should not smoke cigarettes. Basket Ball. The basket ball games be tween St. Joseph graded school and the Winslcw grammar school, and the Snowflake academy ver sus the Winslow high school, ended rather disastrously for our local boys. Both scores were large, and where the games with Phoenix were very nice, and basket-ball was simply the name of the game, these teams from the eastern part of the county played the real game, though very likely some of the spectators thought it rough.
