BATTLE TO DEATH
 NEAR CHIN LEE

Word was brought to Holbrook Thursday of desperate death battle which occurred at Chin Lee on the Navajo Indian reservation in northern Apache county, Friday last. The re- moteness of the scene is responsible for lack of detail. In dispute with a Navajo Indian over horse, white veterinarian and his interpreter were mortally wounded by their assailant, who in turn was killed by well directed shot by the doctor before his waning strength was spent. It has been impossible to learn the name of the murdered man, but the story is vouched for by a resident of the reser- vation who visited Holbrook Thurs day.-Holbrook News.

PROPER IDLING

Owners of cars containing small bore six-cylinder engines sometimes complain of the difficulty of obtaining proper idling. The owner usually as- sumes that the carbureter is at fault. As a matter of fact, the trouble is usually caused by the spark plug gaps being set too close. This causes the motor to roll when idling with all the symptoms of loading. By increasing the spark gaps and cleaning the plugs, the trouble will be cured.

JACK BASE

Two small wooden blocks about the size of bricks serve very we'll as a base for the jack, when it is necessary to use it on muddy road. In this connection it may be noted that the wheels should never be lacked up on a grade, even the slope of 2 high crowned road, as the car is likely to fall off the support, with perhaps un- fortunate consequences.
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-04
WIRE WHEELS

Owners of cars fitted with wire wheels should give these parts a weekly inspection for loose spokes. While the wire wheel is strong enough to resist astonishing shocks, neverthe- less such a blow may loosen one or two of the spokes' and such damage should be immediately repaired. ..
 Where the enamel has cracked off, paint should be applied to keep the moisture from working its way in and inducing rust.

PREPARING TO STOP THEM

Josh: Say, Kanka, they are having great stir at the White House to- day. All the dignitaries of the nation have been called there"
 Kanka: "What's it all about ?"
 Josh: "They are consulting about building a great wall like the Wall of China around Behring Strait to keep the running Russians from jumping into the ocean,"

AIRPLANE BUMPS INTO
 HOUSE AND IS WRECKED

PHOENIX, July 2.-An army Cur tiss-Hispano airplane, engaged in dropping newspapers and advertising matter for the Luke memorial aero tournament, was totally wrecked in making forced landing at Mesa, IS miles from here, where it crashed down on top of the residence of Mrs. c. Pomeroy, according to a message received here from Lieut.. John T. Lawson, who was driving the plane. No one was injured.

sPEEDoMETER DRIVE

Don't forget the speedometer drive. This hard working part needs little fabrication, few drops of oil once week and the average owner seldom remembers it. Given this little atten- tion and the drive will operate quietly and for a long period without other care.
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-04

Married happiness consists to con- siderable extent in knowing when to tell the whole truth, when to tell part of the truth and when to tell none of the truth.

It is important that the past be dead, but more important that the present be alive.
