Wilfred T. Webb

 * ... that Wilfred T. Webb (pictured) delivered Arizona's official 1912 electoral vote certificate a day late because he stopped en route to Washington D.C. to court his future wife?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Ebru Umar, Metro (Dutch newspaper)
 * Comment: Request this be run on May 11 (125th anniversery of the Wham Paymaster Robbery). Webb was a defendant during the criminal trial (found not guilty), and I am in the process of creating/expanding a number of articles related to this Old West shootout.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done. Article new and long enough, inline-sourced. I didn't notice any copyvio/close paraphrasing problems. Several of the sources are dated and out of copyright, the most contemporary I coulnd't access, so assuming good faith regarding copyvio/close paraphrasing for them. The fact in the hook is interesting, backed up by a 1914 news article; within the 200 character limit. Photo is in public domain due to age. Good to go on the requested date May 11.
