that probably their man had been
wounded seriously and prevailed

Where possibly they would be
able to reach his folks in case of
his death. 1t took but few
minutes to get his story. He
said his name is James Arroll,
that he was 20 years of. age and
born in Rochester, N. Y, and
chat he had been in Father Bak-
er's institution at Buffalo. He
admitted the holding up of Mr..
Pittman and said he had sold the
watch to a Mexican, describing
his man, the said time-peice be-
ing gotten later by Marshal
Bledsoe from the Mexican and re-
turned to the owner.
The young hold-up was so weak
after the shooting that it was
necessary to get a handcar and
bring him to the local Santa Fe
hospital, where stretchets were
procured, and he was taken to
town and attended to by County
Physician DR.. j. w. Bazell, who
dressed his wound, which is not
considered serious. He was
lodged in Jail, to await trial be-
fore Justice of the Peace A. HI.

When called before Justice of
Peace Hansen, Thursday, Arroll
waived preliminary hearing and
Judge Hansen bound him over to
the grand jury session. Arroll
was taken to the county Jail at

not exceed the amount spent by
the government on railroads,
which are privately owned not
publicly owned, as would be these
national highways.
Fifty thousand miles of ma

value of adjacent lands within

over 35, 000,0 who should at

The above telegram was re-
ceived early this week from Mr..
Clark of Holbrook, who is in
Kansas City, Mo. at the present
time attending the Ocean to
Ocean Highway convention held
there Monday and Tuesday, and
from the way the telegram reads
it is evident the delegates sent
by the various towns in northern
Arizona to boost for the northern
route, which takes in Winslow,
have been working some and
have gained the unanimous
approval for the northern route
of the various delegates assem-
bled at the convention in Kansas
City from all over the country.
1t would be barely possible for
tourists to ignore this route, con-
sidering the many advantages of
the towns along this route the
Petrified Forest, the Frisco Peaks,
the Ice Caves and the Grand
Canyon, and the many other
wonders that may be seen in
Northern Arizona.
Kansas City, April 20. The
western end of the proposed
ocean to-ocean highway will pass
through a section of the country
characterized by scenic beauty
rather than historical interest.
This was decided tonight by the
delegates attending the conven-
tion Of the National Old Trails
association.
The delegates who came here
to urge the convention to choose
a scenic route for the highway
from Santa Fe, N. NJ, west to
the Pacific coast, carried their
point after lively fight. The
association nearly a year ago,
tentatively selected the historic
route south of Santa Fe to Ell
Paso, thence west through Dem
ing, N. M, and Tuscon, Ariz, j,
by the Salton sea, in California,
to Los Angeles. This route was
opposed by delegates from Gal
lup, N. NJ. Holbrook, Winslow,
Kingman and Flagstaff, Ariz.,
and Needles and Barstow, Calf.
When the question came up in
the convention the delegates
from New Mexico, Arizona and
California were instructed to go

On Sunday night
With taper finger
Resting on your sleeve;
Star-lit eyes are casting
On your face their light
Bless me! This is pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night
Now your heart is humping
'Gainst your Sunday vest;
Now wickcdly tbs working
On this day of rest
Hours seem but minutes
As they take their flight
Bless me! amt it pleasant
Sparkling Sunday night
Dad and Nam are sleeping
On their peaceful bed
Dreaming of the things
The folks in meeting said:
"Loyc yc one another"
Ministers recite;
Bless me, don't we do it.
Sparkling Sunday night.
One arm with gentle pressure
Lingers around her waist,
You squeeze her dimpled hand,
Her pouting lips you taste;
She freely slaps your face
But more in love than spite;
o thunder amt it pleasant,
Sparkling Sunday night
But bark! the clock is striking
It's two o'clock swum
AS sure as I'm sinner
The hour to go has come
You ask with spitcful accents
If that old clock is right"
And wonder if 1t ever
Sparked on a Sunday night
One, two, three sweet kisses
-Four, five. six, you hook,
But, thinking that you rob her
Give her back those you took
Then, as forth you hurry
From the fair ones sight
Don't you wish each day was
Only Sunday night!
