VOLUME XXXVI.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT
At the jegular meeting of the coun
cil Wednesday night, the budget for
the year beginning June 1, 1919, was
approved. It calls for an expense in
crease of ?6,200. Of this amount,
$3,900 is for interest on the new issue
of sewer bonds and $2,500 for street
work.
The Flagstaff Maiblc Works, com
posed of L. B. Lanahan and Ed. Hill,
were awarded the new street and alley
crossings work. Council decided that
the city can not afford to pay for
putting in the concieto from cuib to
sidewalk line, the expense of which
must be borne by the property own
ers. The donation by the Flagstaff Mar
ble Work of carved maible standards
for two drinking fountains was ac
cepted. Ono will be placed in front
of the Arizona Central Bank, and the
other In the citv nark.
The matter of paving in the north
eastern section of the city was de
ferred, it being understood that the
only biddor, whose figure is too high,
will submit greatly reduced prices.
Water Superintendent Marshall was
instructed to order 700 feet of four
inch pipe and two fire hydrants, one
to be installed on North Beaver
street, the other at Aspen avenue and
Elden street.
The resignation of Claude Mack,
driver of the fire truck, was laid on
the table, as it is expected that he will
be able to return to work.
Council will offer the use of the
hall over the clerk's office to the newly
organized athletic club.
ARTHUR ROGERS DIES
AFTER KICK BY HORSE
Much sympathy has been expressed
for the family of Arthur Rogers, a
young cowboy only about 20 years old,
who died at Winslow, Monday, as the
result of a horse's kick.
Young Rogers worked for O. L.
Hart, of Flagstaff. He and some
other men were transferring cattle
between two of Mr. Hart's ranges. At
first it was not thought that he was
seriously hurt, but he grew worse
after being taken to Winslow. His
parents live in St. Johns. He has a
brother. John Rogers, living in this
city. . The body was brought here on
Vednesday afternoon and buried yes
terday afternoon from the home of
Robert Gleason. Dr. O. S. Baum con
ducted the ceremony.

County Engineer Morrow and Chas.
Moore, representing Navajo county,
together with engineers from Coco
nino county, surveyed the boundary
lines between the two counties in the
vicinity of the Hubbell store, at which
point Henry Hubbell was murdered
some time ago by Indians. The sm
vey has definitely determined the fact
that the place where the crime was
committed is in Coconino county,
which will relieve Navajo county of
the expense of the murder trial.
It is understood that a strenuous
effort is being made by the defense
to secure a change of venue to Navajo
county.

Leroux street occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Bikker. Mr. Bikker, who is an
insurance man, went to Albuquerque
Tuesday night, and Mrs. Bikker will
go there Saturday. They were in
duced to make the change because
this high altitude did not agiee with
Mrs. Bikker's health. Mr. and Mrs.
Kahl, who live on Leroux street next
to the Arizona Central Bank, will
move to their new home next week.
Al Alverset, now with the Arizona

TRAVELING IN HOUSE CAR
A big two-ton White motor truck,
surmounted by a small house fully
equipped with sleeping paraphernalia,
kitchen, etc., stopped here Wednesday

HAVE YOU A LITTLE
UMBRELLA AT HOME?
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
Little Johnnie's on his way
East from Calif omi a.
(With apologies to whosoever wiote
the jingle of which the above is oui
pathetic, prayerful paraphrase.)
Someone who says he has all the
data one of them there, ah, statisti
cal sharks, you know said Tuesday
that moie rain had fallen in these
here parts in the last thiiteen days
than in any other similar period of
time in our short but exciting history.
Well, mebbe so. We don't like rain
well enough to cultivate the luxurious
habit of standing out in it in the ca
pacity of a meter, but without hav
ing gone to the trouble of making any
special investigation, we arc prepared
to depone and say, right here and
now, that it sure has rained some in
the last fortnight. About the only
sun we've had in all that time is the
Coconino Sun and as you all know
there is nothing on earth that can dull
the warm effulgence of its rays.
A man came in from California in
an Overland Monday night, ran it into
Bro. J. W. Francis' Northern Arizona
Motor Co. garage, and, leaving all his
camping paraphernalia in it, paid the
storage on it for two months and took
the train for New York, his rosy
dreams of a transcontinental motor
tour washed out.
Harry J. Gray, of Bellemont, at
tending court Tuesday, told some lu
rid stories of mud down Seligman
way; but, Harry being a fonper news
paper man, we discounted his stories
250 per cent, and proceeded to forget
them, when our scornful and com
posed sophistication was suddenly
jolted out of plumb by the confirma
tion of Harry's tales by C. L. Fleck,
of Flagstaff, just back from Mohave
county, who, being a mining man, of
course, we have to believe. He said

there several days.
Badger Creek, full and racing, had
looked too formidable for other cars,
but Mr. Fleck stuck the spurs into
his Ford, cussed her to the fullest
extent of his vocabulary and hi"!
breath, and put her at it. Her usual
pacific nature inherited from her
progenitor, the famous Henry
aroused to a pitch beyond all endur
ance, she went at the torrent, head
up and tail a-flying, the water part
of the time clear over her bull-gine.
Her headway was so great that she
was clear of the flood, on the opposite
bank, before she lccoveied from her
own surprise. Carl and Jim Patton.
of Williams, who were with him. got
off her back and carefully wiped off
her insides, and then hopped back on
and shooed her into Flagstaff.
Gosh, we wish we was a umbrella
manufacturer!
PLEASURE TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
George Vcrkamp, of the Babbitt
Garage, on Sunday acted as the
chief guide to a partv consisting of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Vcr
kamp of Cincinnati, and Judge E. J.
Babbitt and son and daughter, Ed and
Elizabeth, in an auto trip to Grand
Canyon. They found the half of the
road this way in excellent condition,
much recent work having been done
on it. The entile party left Wednes
day by train for Los Angeles. George
will return in a week, the others will
go on to Glacier National Park for a
few days.

FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA,
PLEA OF INSANITY WILL PROBABLY
BE MADE IN T0REZ MURDER CASE
So far there have been no sensa-
tions sprunir at the trial of Simplicio
Torez, the young Mexican degenerate
who muidorcd Victor E. Melick in cold
blood at Williams on May 31, last,
Everything has gone along, smoothly;
there have been few clashes between
- - o .. v..v .V..B ,.... -j, .
the attorneys, and- many witnesses
have been handled with expedition and
dispatch, and Judge J. E. Jones has
had few objections to rule upon.
The jury was obtained much moie
quickly and easily than had been an
ticipated, only sixty-nine of the spe
cial veniic of one hundred and fifty
names being called, and it is a well
balanced jury of tesponsible men. It
is made up as follows: H. B. Fay,
the civil engineer of Flagstaff; D. L.
Vance, rancher, Grand Canyon; John
M. Ware, fanner, Sedona; W. F. Mar
tin, clerk, Flagstaff; Frank Onstatt,
rancher, Donoy Park; Albeit E.
Thomson, rancher, Oak Creek; James

staff; Chas. F. Babcock, laborer, of
Flagstaff; Frank Conrad, engineer,
Flagstaff; Robert Ricketts, laborer,

The selection of the jury was com
pleted on Tuesday afternoon, and the
attorneys for both sides piescntcd
their cases befoie adjournment that
night. County Attorney F. M. Gold,
who is assisted by George W. Hat ben
in the prosecution, told the jury in a
few concise, well-chosen words what
the state intended to prove.
Mei ccr Hcmperley, of Flagstaff, the
defendant's attornev, promised that
no attempt would be made to deny
that his client committed the minder,
but that he would prove by the wit-
LOST HER HAND BAG
BUT GOTMONEY BACK
The usual story of woman and her
shopping paiaphcrnalia: She had just
dropped into the Dresswcll Shop. The
proprietor, A. J. Sullivan, and his as
sistant. Mr. Smith, waited on her.
Two Mexicans were standing near.
She left. So did the Mexicans. In
a few moments she came back, be
wailing the loss of a handbag con
taining about $14.
Mr. Sullivan remembered that one
of the Mexicans had acted queer. He
had been standing near wheic the bag
was supposed to have been left. Chi'
n leu. jmJ
of .Police R. L. Neill was notified,- W
n w m?n,ita fc fcr.,1 wh MviVnn
in jail. The bag could not be found
There probably would have been no
case against cither of the men, as the
bag had likely been passed over to
someone else. But one of the sus
pects, Ambrosia Hernandez, a railroad
worker in the employ of Valdemaro
Rosa, began to bluster about what
Mexico could and would do to the
United States unless he was at once
freed.
Now, the chief is one of those all
American chaps, and there came into
his eye a gleam that the "bravo" saw,
understood and feared. He at once
became docile and said that he would
srive back the money, but couldn't get
the bag. He forked' over ?15. Next
morning the chief gave him two hours
in which to get out of town. He got.
The other man was released also.
He was believed to be innocent.
MRS. LARAZOLA. WIFE OF
GOV. LARAZOLA. STOPS HERE
Mrs. O. A. Larazola, wife of the
governor of New Mexico, accompanied
by her son and daughter, both in their
teenS, and a chauffeur, stopped at the
Mitchell & Gunter garage for gas and
oil Sunday. They were on their way
from Santa Fe to California, where
they will visit for a month. Mrs.
Larazola said that the roads arc much
better in this state than in New
Mexico.

WESLEY PARKER IS

Wesley Parker, of Government

He said thn .Ipfpnrl.inf v.n.1 -iHvro

til a few years ago, when he got
mixed up with a disteputable woman,
who taught him to drink raw alcohol
anu loco weed and he ned
nim ran
through his savimrs of $600 in one
month. From that time, he asserted,
Torez was changed, got into tiouble
frequently and had been adjudged in
sane and sent to an asylum. He is
afflicted with homicidal mania, Hem
perley declared. His sister last April
went insane and committed suicide,
and he has an uncle in the insane
asylum.
The first witness for the state was
Edward Hamilton of Williams, cattle
inspector and deputy sheriff, who had
gone to Torez's home to arrest him
for stealing a horse belonging to Am
brose Means of Williams, the cele
brated hunter and guide.
Hamilton testified that he expected
no trouble with Torez when he went
to arrest him; on the way to jail
Torez suddenly attacked him and h?
advised him to behave himself. Later
Toiez broke away and pulled his gun,
disarming Hamilton.
The shooting of Melick at the
Means icsidence, where Hamilton had
induced Torez to go to square things
up with Mrs. Means, and wheic Mr.
Melick was waiting to take him into
custody when he appealed, was de
scribed in all its various details by
Mrs. Mary Means, Thomas R. White

CLOSES OAK CREEK
ABOVE THE FALLS
There will be no moie fishing in
Oak Cieek above the falls until July
1, 1920, State Game Warden Joe V.
Prochaska having decided that unless
the anglers arc kept off for a time the
stieam will become depleted. In fact,
he says, local nimrods even now have
no chance at all for good sport, the
points accessible to them having been
so .constantly fished by tourists and
campers that our home people can
find no decent sport within a day's
journey
ri . ."n i ... i
. " wm H,.5l sooa to uepenu upon
ze regulations in conserving the
sport, Mr. Prochaska says, because it
is impossible to prevent the catching
oi undersized hsh. Hence, the only
sure way is to entirely prohibit fishing
until the finny tribes have had a
chance to "multiply and replenish"
the waters. Their efforts in that di
rection1 will be encouraged, he prom
ises by liberal restocking from the
federal hatcheries, three million
young fish having been ordered for
this and other streams and lakes .in
the state. '
The ban will extend to next July 1,
instead of June 1, because of the fact
that many of the females do not
spawn until June, and the additional
".L?".0 "l?y to the
replenishment of the waters.
While this ban will be a disappoint
ment to many of our sportsmen, Mr.
Prochaska believes this temporary
set-back will provide future pleasure
to much more than compensate them.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
AT COMMERCIAL HOTEL
Improvements nearly completed at
the Commercial Hotel will vastly in
crease the good looks and conven
iences of the lobby of that popular
hostelry.
Under the dhection of the pioprie
tor, Chas. Prochnow, a force of car
penters and painters have been at
work for some time, tearing out the
wall with a big double open archway,
and thus doubling the size of the
lobby.
New counters, shelves and a big
new humidor have been placed, to ac
commodate supplies, for smokers,
news and magazine readers, curio
seekers, candy eaters and chewers of
gum. All fixtuies and the woodwork
are of Circassian walnut, handsome
and rich looking.
At the rear of the new part of the
lobby a good-sized writing room has
been installed.
Some time in the near futuie, al
though peihaps not befoie next year,
it is planned fo add another story to
the Commercial, a thing devoutly to
be desiicd, considering the always
congested condition in our hotels and
rooming houses.
W. II. Morse has the contract for
painting and varnishing the lobby,

DONT FORGET TO VOTE
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
ELECTION TOMORROW
Do not forget to vote tomorrow at
the high school election. It is abso
lutely necessary that something be
done as soon as possible to secure a
high school for Flagstaff. The high
school course at the Normal will be
abolished, thus leaving Flagstaff
without educational facilities after
children graduate from the common
school. Every parent in this district
should take an earnest interest in this
election.
