Keep Your Boys off the
Streets

Some people think it is a mys-
terry that notwithstanding good
advice, their boys grow up to be
wild and reckless young men. If
these boys were taught from IN
fancy that home was the proper
place for them after dark rather
than prowling around the streets
annoying sick aud well people
alike, much ofthis mystery might
be explained, and young. men
with better moral character and
more intelligent minds would be
the result. No parant need ex-
pect pure morals in a boy that
prowls the streets at night, even
if he does go to Sunday school.

Charles Johnson, Santa Fe
roadmaster with headquarters
at Williams, was quite seriously
injured Thursday night while
coming to Winslow with men
and material to assist with the
work OF repairing the track near
the bridge just east of town.
While at Sunshine Mr.. Johnson
attempted to get on the caboose
after the train had gained con-
siderable momentum and while
he succeeded in grabbing one of
the holds of the caboose the
speed of the train was such that
he was thrown aside and knocked
into insensibility. AS Mr.. Johnson
had been riding any place on the
tram that suited his convenience
he was not missed by the train
crew until their arrival at Wins
low. The engine and caboose
were promptly started to search
for the missing roadmaster. He
was located a short distance
west of Moqui pumping a
"speeder" headed for Winslow
and while quite painfully injured
he was still ION the job"

Largest Flood in Twenty
Years.

past few days together with the
warm spell causing recent SHOWS
in the mountains to rapidly melt
was the cause of extreme high
water in Chevelon and Clear
Creeks, Jacks Canyon and the
Little Colorado river Wednesday
afternoon resulting in cOnsidera-
BILE damage to the farmers in this
vicinity as we'll as to the proper
ty of the Santa Fe.
At Clear Greek the Santa Fe
report the water to have been
about fifty feet above it's normal
stage entirely destroying the re-
tanning wall and doing other
damage to the pumping plant
and other property at that point.
Water was shut off early Wed
nesdav afternoon causing much
Inconvenience to the residents OF
Winslow although some few had
succeeded in filling pots, pans
and kettles before the works
were shut down. The company
made immediate arrangements
to haul water from outside points
to supply the town and the en-
gines so that traffic could be
moved.
At the Little Colorado river
the water was washing the
stringers of the big Santa Fe
bridge and it was feared that the
structure would be carried away
Wednesday night. Heroic meas
ures were adopted by the officials
an engine and freight train being
pulled onto the bridge and lett
standing there all night. West
of the bridge the dixie was carried
away and at this writing (Thurs-
dav mOrning) owing to the wa
ter being over the track it is not
possible to say definitely wheth
er the embankment still holds
but it is thought the velocity OF
the water would wash it com
pletely away. Two small wood.
en- bridges west ofthe Little Colo.
RADIO river are thought to have
been carried away: East of the
big bridge two freight trains
were tied up and one train was
held at Holbrook all Wednesday
night. AS yet no report of the
damage between Holbrook anC
