POLICE SCANDAL MAY
GET INTO COURTS
Chief Says He Is Going to
Force Minton to Explain
Charges Made.
SAYS COUNCILMAN LIES
Accusation That He Tipped OFF Raids
Denounced as Absolutely False by
Department Head.

Chief of Police Shedeck significantly
stated today that Alderman Minton
win have an opportunity to prove the
statements he made in the council last
night to the effect several raids have
been tipped off by the chief and that
his past conduct should be investigated.
It is more than probable that Chief
shedeck is going to put up fight not
only in the council, but in the courts to
force those accusing him Of graft and
misconduct to provo such allegations.
He stated the councilman lied when he
said last night that the chief had pre-
vented r interfered in plans made by
the police matron and the mayor to raid
certain rooming houses.
"This game has got to come to fin
fish," said the chief, ''Minton will
have to prove what he has been saying
about me, and If he can Y substantiate
his accusations, there will be further
action taken by this office All Min.
ton, Jones and Matloclt want to do Is
to have me recalled so that Matlock

Explains Some Things.
Chief of Police Shedeck declares that
the accusation to the effect he tipped
off proposed raid on the Tioga room
ing house is a trumped up scheme from
, start to finish. He states tat when
notified along about O'Clock in the
evening that raid was going to be
made, he Immediately gathered Officers
Woolery, White and Flake together and
gave them the necessary instructions
how to proceed. He says he then went
up to Police Matron Lynch's office
whore he found Councilman Minton
asleep on a lounge. He then went out
on the street, he says, and dropped into
the 0regonian restaurant to witness the
Q opening program being carried out at
y the time the restaurant opened it's
:, doors.
The chief says he was accompanied
( by Ralph Swartz and hardly spoke to
the proprietor of the place. Then, de.
clares the chief, he tried to obtain some
I moro information concerning tho raid
G and was told that it was called off and
later Minton accused him Of tipping
+ OFF the plans.
Chief Shedeck states that no took

scribed the circumstances leading up to
the trouble with Churchill. Some one
told Mrs Lynch girl was out with

Churchill staggering along with young

splendid line of laces, ribbons and
novelties for the ladies. In fact,
a customer may walk in to this
store and find almost anything in
the way OF mems, woman's and
children's wear and every article
handled is of some standard make
of well known reliability. They
make leaders of the famous Stet-
son hats, Adler clothing, Fingree
and Bostonian shoes, and every
article they put out is fully war
ranted to be as represented. The
recognized high quality of all the
merchandise handled in this estab-
lishment, combined with the policy
of the house of making such prices
that compel attention, enables
them to frequently turn over their
entire stock, and their good are
therefore always fresh and new,
and in the correct styles. The
visitor is particularly impressed
with the neat orderly arrangement
of the stock and with the fact that
one cannot see anywhere a rIece

least indication OF shho p-wear or

business and who now gives all of
his time to a supervision of the
establishment is one of Northern
Arizonas most successful and best
known young business men.
Before coming to Flagstaff, he
had established a very prosperous

business in Williams, which he
still owns and intrusts to the car

Mr.. Blumberg is ably assisted
in the management by F. w.

establishment for some eight years
and who is popular and well
known to practically every man,

Flagstaff Dairy

The most important article in
our entire diet is milk, and what
the public wants for their babies
and their sick or invalids, and in
fact for the growing youngsters
and the grown-ups too, is a milk
that comes from healthy animals
and is OF sufficient richness to give
the desired nutrition, and that is
also handled in a conscientious,
clearly and scientific manner by
man who knows his business and
is willing to give the people the
best he has, according to the
knowledge he has obtained by
years of study and close applica-
ton to dairying as a science.
Just such man has Flagstaff,
in the person of Fred Caring, the
proprietor of the Flagstaff Dairy.
Mr.. Caring owns a beautiful tract
of land out in one of the little
valleys extending back into the
lOOl bllIS VI tue DAN IlduClSIO
Peaks. The soil is exceptionally
fertile. The valley is sheltered
from the severe winds of winter
and there is plenty of shade in
summer. Just as pure water as
there is in the world comes from
cool deep well. Mr.. Caring has
stocked this valley with a herd OF
select dairy cows-mostly Jer-
seys. Each animal has been in
spected and tuberculin tested, and
was selected by Mr.. Caring not
only for her points indicating a
rich heavy mixer, but from points
recognized by every veterinarian
as indicating a healthy animal
from strong, sturdy stock. Mr..
Caring is in the dairy business
and farming because he loves it.
He has made a life study of this
work, and took special course in
dairying in Perdue University, one
of the most celebrated institutions
in the United States for teaching
agricultural pursuits. That Mr..

mill night and day where they turn
out immense quantities of finished
lumber for interior finish, etc.
They also operate a large box
factory where they manufacture
thousands of boxes, and supply
them to fruit packers in various
parts of the country, among whom
are the cantaloupe growers of the
Salt River valley.
No one event during the last
twenty-five years has been as Of
much benefit to our city as the
construction and operation OF this
mill. Besides employing several

In the management of this great
enterprise Mr.. Dolan has shown
remarkably executive ability and
has so directed the company's
operations that it has not only
been splendid paying PROPOSE
ton for the owners but he has
given to Flagstaff a very valuable
business enterprise. He gives his
personal attention, not only to a
general supervision, but also to
see that the details Of the business
are going smoothly and that the
entire plant both here in Flagstaff,
and in the woods is operated along
the lines which gives the greatest
degree of efficiency, combined with
the most economy.

the woods cutting timber, getting
it out to the roll-ways and trans
portating it to the mill on the
company's own line of logging
railroad. The payroll for this
great enterprise runs into many
thousands OF dollars every month
and a large part of this is dis
persed among our local business
houses for supplies, etc. The
company itself also spends many
thousands Of dollars annually with
Flagstaff merchants and, taken as
a whole, the plant here contrib

Mr.. E. T. McGonigle, Presi-

Arizona pine for Arizona homes
should be the slogan Of progress
of every loyal son Of this great
state. The splendid forests Of
tall straight pines which spread
for hundred of miles through the
northern part of Arizona, contains
the lumber for a million homes,
suitable for the humblest laborer
or fit for the palace of nabob.
The very name of Flagstaff
comes from a pine tree, and it is
the great industries in cutting and
marketing these pines that are
making Flagstaff the commercial
and financial capitol OF Northern
Arizona.
