INGALLS, FILES HIS ANSWER TO HARRIS
 IN QUO WARRANTO

Prompt action has been taken by Captain Walter S. Ingalls, in defend- ing his rights to the office and title of adjutant general. Through his at- torneys he has filed his answer to the recent petition of Charles w. Harris for writ of quo warranto in which he not only asks the court to decree that he is adjutant general and has been since he received his commission June 13, but demands also damages and costs from Harris in such amount as the court may decide.
 Answering Harris charge that In- gals has been performing certain du- ties of the adjutant generals office, Ingalls, admits and alleges that since the date of taking office he has done every act and performed every duty pertaining to that office so far as he has been able to. He admits, how ever, that he has been prevented from performing many of the acts incident to the duties of that office due to the fact, he says, that Charles w. Harris has insisted upon retaining the physi- cal possession of the property, books, records and other paraphernalia of said office, and the fact that Harris has so done notwithstanding his ac- tual removal from office by the gov ernor and the further fact that Ingalls, has a commission issued to him. :,
 Ingalls, further states that he is fully qualified to act as adjutant gen. eral, having served as an offificer of the National Guard and having been discharged from the U. s. army June 10, 1919, and being 43 years of age.
 Ingalls, is represented by Attorneys R. E. Sloan, c. R. Holten, and Will E Ryan.

 Veteran organizations which grew up in the early stages of demobiliza. tion while the American Legion or ganization was getting under way are joining the legion. The latest to join was the World War Veterans of Mon tana, who voted unanimously to join the American Legion in a body.

TONY'S CHALLENGE
 IN MULETEER CASE

Tony Johns, president of the sen. ate, has brought suit against the state to recover the price of those decrepit mules which the commission of state institutions refused to accept.
 It will be remembered that shortly before Hunt went out of office Johns, who had been elected to the state senate and was a powerful political factor in Yavapai county through a company in which he was the princi- pal stockholder, the Aubrey Invest ment Co.,, made a contract with the Hunt commission to sell the state a number of mules for approximately $22,000, of which about $3,000 was paid on account and the balance left to the succeeding administration to pay. Here Toney overlooked point, for the succeeding administration took the precaution to have the mules examined and found that the great majority of them were badly shot and practically useless.
 In defense of his action, Johns cited the fact that Tom Maddock had taken an option on the same mules at the same price but later on in his state- ment said that they were not the same mules. His statement, which was made over his signature, is matter of record.
 The trial of the mule case prom ises to be almost as interesting as that brought by the late Governor Hunt against a couple of editors. II is understood that the state will seek to remove the case to Maricopa coun. ty, where the contract was made and the action should have been brought in the first place.
 When Tony gets on the witness stand and the cross examination be, gins, the fun will start. Before the mule deal was exposed Tony was con- sidered an active candidate for ths Democratic nomination for governor The mule deal put his candidacy out of commission and he is now seeking vindication and a paltry $19,000 o1 the taxpayers money in the action which he has just brought.-Tucsor Citizen.

BUILDING THIS RESORT
 ASSURES GREAT FUTURE

 many natural beauties and wonders in easy access by auto and natural seen cry, climate and water superior to that to be found anywhere within a radius of "A hours ride. The rapid improvement of our roads and the early completion of the National Old Trails Highway, are also things that would contribute greatly to our rapid growth as resort.
 The establishment of the lake would also provide an auxiliary water supply from which a revenue could be obtain ed from the railroad, the mills and future manufacturing plants.
 A half-mile extension of North Le- roux street and of our electric wires would connect us with the resort, and the city water flows right past it.
 The diversion of the River De Flag would also be a great advantage to the ranchers below the city, Mir. Clark points out, saving them a great deal of flood damage.
 There was a perfunctory survey made several years ago, with the idea of diverting the river from its incon- venient course through town. It was found feasible, but nothing was done about it.
 County Engineer J. B. Wright told a Sun man that there was no engi- neering difficulty in the way of the project, as far as he knows, and that he would be very glad indeed to inves- tigate. If the plan is feasible, he said, 1t certainly would prove splendid thing for this city; in fact, for this whole country, not only increasing our population and business, but affording recreation and comfort for Flagstaff and the state generally.
 It is suggested that it may be found unnecessary to depend upon the river at all for the water supply, as it is claimed by some of those who have investigated that sufficient water comes down the draw at the head of the canyon in the spring and during the rainy season to keep a canyon lake filled the year around.
 One of the prettiest features in con- nection with the water supply is that there is enough spring water in the section that would be flooded to keep the water in the lake alive. Thus it would not be stagnant water, as is the case in some of the other artificial lakes in this section, and would ac- cordingly be much better for the propagation of fish, as we'll as better for bathing purposes, and healthier.
 The assessed valuation of this coun- ty is S20,000,000. The real valuation is much more than that. Flagstaff s population alone represents more than $20,000,000 in tangible property.
 There is money enough here.
 Such a proposition as suggested by Mir. Clark might not require the in vestment of more than a hundred thousand in the corporation sponsor ing it. This amount is less than one- fifteenth of that invested in Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps in this county.
 A resort of this kind would give an impetus to growth that would dou-

REV. FRASER IS
STIRRING INTEREST
Revival AT METHODIST CHURCH
WELL UNDER WAY

Rev. B. F. Fraser is pleasing large
congregations and each service shows
increased interest, and enthusiasm.
The preacher in most graphic and
realistic way thrilled a large congre-
cation last night with his prebought
of the text aye are not your own, we
are our government, our families, our
neighbors, but above all to our Lord,
Who has redeemed, and large num-
Der expressed a desire to live in fell
lOwship with their redeemer. Many
went away determined to recongnies
God in their lives.
Mr.. Fraser is most pleasing speak
or, with striking way Of presenting
the truths of the Bible. His pictures
Of Bible characters is most realistic
The characters seem to live over
their lives, and bear their burdens,
meet their problems and find con
ISOLATION afresh in the truths or re-
violation, in such personal to every
burdened tried and anxious heart.
And this is real Gospel preaching
For until the burdened find a sour
&c Of relief, and the Borrowing con-
ISOLATION, and the sinner a saviour, all
preaching is futile so far as they are
concerned. But when the truth is so
presented as to make the Lord real
and readable force, that all may take
hold Of by faith, then they that sit
in darkness are made to see a great
light, and are enabled to take reli-
gion out OF the realm Of theory, and
translate in terms of life, and person
al experience. And the truth as pre-
scented by Mr., Fraser is so plain, SO
realistic, that all, the most learned,
and most sanity, as well as the most
ignorant and Sinful are made to see
and, if they will, rejoice in the truth
A great mass meeting for the young
| life of the community is planned for
Friday afternoon All are invited. For
this is not to be a children service
in the sense that only children are to
| be present, but a mass meeting
when the truths of the Bible will be
50 presented that all. parents, young
| people, as well as children may see

Paris, Feb. 19.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press) Premier Glen
enceau was fired upon five
times this morning while enter
ing an automobile. He was re-
ported wounded in the back and
shoulder, but his injuries are
not serious.
1t was learned at the City Hall
THAI Clemenceau's assailant was a
man named Emile Coffin, aged 25,
and born at Creil. The man said his
home was in the Montrouse quarter
of Paris. The police, however do not
believe the papers he possesses be-
long to him and are inclined to think
him a Russian.
At eleven o'clock it was officially
announced that Premier Clemenceau
was not seriously wounded. 1t is felt
that there might be serious conse-
quences considering the age and in
tirmities of the victim

his assalant and grappled with him.
