Two Prisoners Escape
From St. Johns Jail

Two prisoners worked their
way out of the county Jail last
Sunday evening and made their
escape. One of them, a negro,
had served about ten days of a
six months sentence given him
for stealing a couple of guns
from Ed Howell at Navajo. The
other, a white man by the name
of Ben Foster, was held for trial
on a charge of cattle stealing,
etc. He was admittedly a bad
man and would no doubt have
landed in the penitentiary. The
coon, who was allowed a good
deal Of freedom, made their es-
cape possible. He was set at
the task of repairing the county
attorneys automobile, whic h
was standing under the window
of the Jail. BY getting up on
the car fender and using a big
wrench he succeeded in remov-
ing the bolts which fastened the
iron bars. That having be n
done, it was an easy matter tc
push the grating out from inside,
making an opening large enough
to slip through. The trick could
never have been worked by q
prisoner inside the Jail. ST.
Johns Observer.

Oil Company Preparing
to Get In Action. Soon

AS will be seen by an article
in another column the Apache
Oil company is to move its drill
ing outfit to this district. This
company it appears does not be-
lieve merely in just making a
noise, but in ACTING. But
few realize the benefits, fnan-
cially and otherwise, that will
result from the proposition, it
being something new in this i'm
mediate section.
All should lay aside their
knocking material and assist and
encourage the promoters in every
way possible. Even if oil is not
encountered it will mean the'cir-
culation of more money in this
part Of the country, for it takes
real cash, and lots of it, to drill
an oil we'll.
Down in Texas when the oil
geologists first entered that state
the old timers hooted at the
idea Of oil in that country. 1t
was seven years afterwards be-
fore oil was struck down there,
and the knockers all joined in
the feast, F" and then and
there resolved themselves as
lifetime boosters. Now look at
Texas -one of the greatest oil
producing states of the union.
1t is said that one oil company
alone in the Holbrook district
has more money deposited in
one of the banks of that town
than the bank is capitalized at.
An oil company cannot do de-
velopment work without a great
outlay Of money.
Everyone should get into the
harness, encourage, boost and
show the Apache company that
they are with them first, last
and all the time.

Two ATplanes to
Be at Prescott Fair

Prescott. Sept. 25th. Colonel
H. H. Arnold, commanding
Rockwell Field, has definitely
notified the Northern Arizona
State Fair Association, that two
government airplanes will be in
Prescott for the fair. This news
will be received with JOY by the
hundreds Of citizens in Northern
Arizona who have not had the
thrill of witnessing one of the
big birds in action. The landing
field will be the same as selected
by ayiators who have been in
Prescott that of t h e target
range.
The Fair Association is plan
ming on making the 1919 Fair
the best yet held by that organi-
zation. There will be, many
special attractions which will
appeal to all. Band concerts
will be rendered by a twenty
piece band at the grounds dur
ing the fair program, and on
the Plaza both morning and
evening of the three days fes-
tival.
LesterRuffner will have charge
of the track program and will
have as his assistants Shorty
Davis and Grant Carter who,
together with Captain Grant of
,Whipple. are arranging one of
the best track programs in the
entire southwest.
Not one dull moment is on the

Throat Trouble, Light Form
Of Diphtheria, Raging Here

An epidemic of throat trouble,
said by the county health officer
to be diptheria in light form, is
raging in some portions of the
southern part of the county.
Only one case has so far resulted
fatally, a little son of Reuben Per-
kins, Jr., at Clay Springs. A
few more cases are reported up
there. At Taylor there is said
to be seventeen families quaran-
tined, while there is only three
so far in Snowflake.
DR.. Sampson, the county
health officer, who has been in
this section the greater part of
the week, stated that if cases
were not reported Immediately
after taking the disease he
would quarantine the town, thus
closing the schools religious wor-
ship, amusement hall and all
gatherings. The S. S. A. did
not open Monday on account Of
the epidemic.
The disease is contagious but
so far does not appear to be
fatal, and if the people will take
precaution and notify the health
officer at the first showing Of the
disease it is thought it can soon
be stamped out.
