PASTOR CHARGE COAL
DEALERS WORKING IkICkS

ATLANTA, GA January 81
That of coal arc beig spipped back
and forth in Atlanta yards at. the
behest OF Atlanta coal dealers for the
purpose of creating an artificial coal
shortage in blizzard weather, so as
to compel the people to go to the yards
with hired coaveyances and haul the
coal to their homes, thus saving the
dealers the cost Of delivery, is one Of
the numerous charges by Rev. j. w.
Ham. pastor of the Tabernacle Bap-
ti5t Church, which has aroused
storm Of indignation throughout the
community
In a sermon Sunday night dealing
exclusively with the coal situation in
Atlanta, Dr.. Ham charged that the
dealers are not treating fairly with
the public, and severely criticised the
local fuel administrator, Henry B. Ken
edy, fer his methods of handling the
TRAITOR Kennedy should require the
dealers to give their customers re-.
bate to cover the cost Of delivery,
where the customers haul the coal to
their homes, and severely criticised the
administration for not having fixed
scale OF prices to be charged by ped
Glers, who are selling coal froh $14
&c $40 Il ton
| On yesterday the fuel administra-
cor established bureau for issuing
priority orders to persons having no
coal The dealers agreed to deliver
ccal on these orders at the regular gov
ernment prices. The bureau was es-
tahlished at the city hall and line
Of people waiting all day to be served.

The Flanigan We'll
 Producing Oil

John Flanigan, owner of the Flanigan well south of Holbrook, reports that oil in still greater quantities is ap- bearing. The prediction of E. I. Hastings, head driller of the Hopi Oil Company, that the unwatering of that well would very likely result in the bringing in of a small oil producer appears to be we'll founded in the light of the perceptible increase in the flow the longer the well is pumped.
 Some enterprising citizens recently took pains to have an analysis of this water, the sand and the shale, made bya reputable chemist. The returns were received this week and show conclu- sively that all three samples carry oil.

Mrs. Jordan Entertains

On last Friday afternoon Mrs. c. H. Jordan entertained with a picnic supper at her home. The hostess had planned to take her guests to the petrifed forest, but on account ofthe incIemency of the weather the trip had to be abandoned. A feature of the afternoon was the delicious SUD- per served picnic style in the spacious dining room.
 Following the merry hour spent at supper Mrs. Jordan en- tertained her guests on the porch, displaying her large col lection of Indian curios, most of which had been collected in the northwest since girlhood. Mrs. Jordan has been adding to this collection and in it are many rare specimens.
 The affair was given in honor of Miss Kuet9mier, of Indiana polls, who is a guest of Mrs. Julia Braam. Other out of town guests were Mrs. F. R. Goodman. Flagstaff, Mrs. May c. Dodson. Terre Haute, Ind.
 Another delightful affair given by Mrs. Jordan was a porch par ty on Wednesday when auction bridge was the diversion of the afternoon. At the close a two course lunch was served.

IIOlbrOOk Patriots
 Return Home

Last Monday morning w. R. Scorse and M. A. Cousins re- turned to their homes in Hol- brook after earnest efforts to break into the big fight Tn Europe.
 MT. Scorse had offered him. self for enlistment in the medi- cal corps of the U. s. army; he passed the examining officers all right in Los Angeles and was sent to San Francisco. The ex- aminers there found some fault in his physical condition and he was rejected. This was a sad disappointment to Mir. Scorse, but as the San Francisco board is the last resort he was compell- ed to forgo his desire for army service and make up his mind to remain in private life.
 MT. Cousins applied for en- iistment in the engineer corps cf the Canadian army, his age preventing the receipt of his ap- pIication by the U. 5. army; he passed the examining boards in Los Angeles and in San Francis co but was rejected by the board in Vancouver. Mir. Cousins disappointment was felt keenly and it left him no alternative but to abandon his plan to take an actlye part in the war and to return home,
 The example in patriotism set by these two gentlemen is worthy of emulation by all able bodied men everywhere; it stamps them as true patriots. men of whom every loyal citizen of Holbrook is proud.

Brother and Sister Meet
 First time in Twenty Years

Dad" Hastings, head driller for the Hopi Oil Com pany, who is putting in the time as best he can until the derrick at the company's well is far enough advanced to permit him to begin work of installing the machinery, thought to spend 9 pleasant five minutes last Monday afternoon by walking to the Santa Fe depot to see No. 8 pass through, and through that decision received the shock of his life, and Dad" is almost shock proof, after bringing in gushers and oil wells of all description in his long and eventful 35 years experience as an oil well driller. No. 8 had disgorg- ed it's human and other freight and Dad" was idly watching the faces at the car windows as the train gained momentum, when he was startled to hear a lady's voice excitedly call his name and the lady herself hastily throw him a kiss. The last mentioned evidence of affec- ton brought Dad" to his senses and despite the fact that he had not seen her for 21 years he recognized the lady as his sister. Knowing that she would attempt to communicate with him he haunted the telegraph office until late that night and finally was rewarded by the receipt of a telegram telling him that she and her bus band would be located at Chambers, Arizona, 50 miles east of here for a few days and urging him to pay them a visit. Tuesday morning found him aboard No. 2 joy fully headed for Chambers where he spent several days this week getting acquaint- ed with his sister and bro- ther-in-law.

Sheriff w. H.

He also makes the statement that the same county had more murders accor- ding to the court records than any other two counties in the state prior to the adoption of the anti-capitaI punishment bill.
 This shows the necessity of re- establishing capital punishment,

However, unless 9 flowing we'll is encounter ed, it is the intention to send the drill down to the lower sands which will un- doubtedly bring in a better and bigger well than the present sands.

 Oil men from the outside are now coming in to inves- tigate and Aztec faces a boom that will surprise the knocker and bring prosperi- ty to- the boosters who have seen and grasped the oppor- tunity.

He is anxious to commence drilling operations very soon.
 While in the field We'd nesday both Mr. Peard and Mir. Thixton visited the camp of the Hopi Oil Com pany and left convinced that this company will have its standard drill in operation at an early date. The acti- vities around the camp left no room for doubt on that point.
