BIG FLYING PROGRAM
 PREPARED FOR FAIR

The greatest flying show in the history of the amusement world will be given on November to 8, inclu- sive, at the Arizona state fair, when Lieut.. Ormer Locklear and his three ring aerial circus are scheduled to do all the amazing things known to the flying game, including the trick that not even France or England, with all their vaunted superiority in the flying sport has seen-Locklear's feat of changing airplanes a few hundred feet above the race track center.
 Locklear will also present his aero batic act of scampering from the seat of his plane to all other parts of the craft. No magician or juggler works with a quicker hand nor keener eye than does Locklear when he starts in to do his wonderful stunts.
 Then comes the aerial combat be- tween Locklear's assistant pilots, Lieuts. Shirley Short and Milton FL liott. It was this part which was with the peerless Locklear when he first pulled the plane changing feat, while they were all instructors at the government field at Fort Worth, Tex. They are the fellows who hold Lock- lear's life in their hands every time he essays his daring work. He de- clares they are more essential to the act than he himself. For Locklear is the only man in the world who ever changed planes and these two pilots are the only ones who ever flew his airships. During the aerial combat the two pilots will fly almost against each other before turning into a spin ming nose dive, inside slip, Immelman turn, upside down flight, or other tricks to avoid the rapid fire gun on the other machine. This act was termed by the New York Times avia- tion writer as the cleverest bit of "sky vaudeville" ever witnessed. The two assistant pilots will make individual trick flights during the day, and if any one in this section thinks he has seen real fancy flying before he will doubtless change his opinion after he witnesses these two masters at work.
 Something doing every second" is the manner in which the flying end of the state fairs program may be de- scribed.
 Locklear's plane-changing feat re- quires about ten minutes time from the moment the machines begin to jockey for position until he is safe in the seat of the other airplane. Dur ing that time absolute silence prevails among the crowd, no matter how large. 1t seems as though everyone holds his breath. As he makes the change the crowd bursts into spon- taneous cheer that does not die until the intrepid fellow is landed in front of the grandstand.

ROAD BOND ELECTION
 TO BE CALLED SOON

This week Anson H. Smith has cir culated a petition that will be pre- sented to the board of supervisors Monday next requesting that body to call an election of the taxpayers to vote on an issue of $300,000 bonds for the building of roads and bridges in the county and another bond issue of $80,000 for a county hospital and farm buildings. These petitions have been universally signed by large and small taxpayers alike. Only three men in the county to whom the peti- tions were presented refused to sign, and these refused for personal reas ons. The recent storms that carried out many of the roads throughout the county amplify the necessity of good roads more than any argument that could be offered. Roads amply pro. tected from storm waters are a neces- sity, and roads that can be travelled over in any and all kinds of weather should be built to all points in Mo have county.
 To meet Mohave county's bond is- sue the general government will add $150.000 for the year 1920, which will make possible the building of real highways between important points. When the year 1921 rolls around we expect to see many of the important roads of the county reality.-King- man Miner.

TWO MEXICANS KILLED BY
 DRINKING WOOD ALCOHOL

Two men died early Wednesday morning after drinking wood alcohol They were Jose Morales, aged 31, and Conception Melander, aged 45. The former leaves a wife, the latter a wife and six children, two of whom little girls, are nearly blind.
 The men, who are said to have been drinking cronies, were employees of one of the lumber companies. They had been drinking for some time, it is said, and went home sick on Tuesday. That afternoon they both became blind. Paralysis followed shortly afterward, being succeeded by death not long after midnight.
 It is reported that they each had bottles of wood alcohol at their homes, plainly labeled poison" As there is. no law against selling wood alcohol, when it is properly labeled, no inquest was held. They were taken to the Flagstaff Undertaking parlors and buried yesterday.
 "Wood alcohol, even in small quan- titles, often causes blindness and death," said Dr. Tom Manning, who explained that it results in formic acid poisoning. "Post-mortems show that it affects all the internal organs. The blood is darkened; clotted blood is found in the heart; the stomach and intestines are congested and softened; i; the liver much congested and softened; i; the spleen gorged with blood and softened; lungs congested, showing extravasations of blood, and in the kidneys hemorrhages are found"

THIS WEEKS QUEER NEVIS
THRICE MARRIED AT 17

OMAHA, Neb.-Mrs. Roy Bookout- Harper-Larson, 17-year-old bigamist, in jail here, who plays on mems illus sions and gets them to marry her just for the excitement, says they are easi- est to catch at 22. Then, she says, they think they know all about women and will fall for pretty face and a demure manner.
 "I'm only IF, and I've won three already" she says. "And I'll win an other one as soon as get out of this scrape. I'm young yet, you know"
 Mrs. Bookout- -Harper-Larson is not only charged with forging checks and having three husbands, but pleads guilty to both charges.
 "I forged the checks because want ed pretty clothes," she says.
 "And married the husbands for different reasons. The first one took on a bet of $25. The second one l took on a dare. The third l took be- cause he was a preacher and seemed so innocent"

LITTLE CHILD KILLED
 AT CHLORIDE SATURDAY

One of the saddest accidents of the year occurred last Saturday afternoon at Chloride when the little three-year- old daughter of R. o. French was run over by truck.
 Mir. French and his brother-in-law were examining a truck when the lit- tie girl, unknown to either of the men climbed up on real wheel. The truck was backed and the child fell off and was caught under the wheel.
 The funeral was held Sunday from the residence in Chloride, the Knights of Pythias, of which lodge MT. French was a member, rendering all the as- sistance possible.-Kingman Miner.

COYOTES EAT MELONS

PUEBLO, Colo.-Coyotes roaming the hills adjacent to Orchard Park, eight miles east of Pueblo, learned to like watermelons, 100 acres of which were growing there. And the neigh borhood dogs learned from their wild cousins that inside the green rinds there was palatable provender even for carniverous animals.
 What was digging out great holes in the melons and extracting there from all the best of the red meat pug zled the melon growers. Night watch men made the discovery and then the question was what can be done. Poi son was suggested, but objected to by County Agent Davis, and so firing squads" to act before sunrise were or ganized.
 The coyotes, and the dogs as we'll, clawed the rinds until they got a pur- chase with their teeth. Then they gnawed large holes in the melons and ate all the best of the inside.

UNDER WATER IS MINUTES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-After being under water in the Delaware river for eighteen minutes Frank Burke was re- suscitated by the crew of the patrol boat.
 Burke, who is employee of Cramps shipyards, fell from a hull on which he was working and disappeared be- meath the surface.
 Fellow worlmen made several at- tempts to rescue him, but were un- successful until the arrival of the pa- trol boat. Burke was located with big grappling hooks and rushed to the emergency hospital of the shipyard. Here the pulmotor was applied. The physicians say Burke may recover.

CHRISTY INVITED TO AGED SHRINER'S
 SURPRISE PARTY

Shirley Christy, secretary of the state fair commission, is in receipt of an invitation asking him to be present at a surprise birthday party in honor of William s. Brown, for many years imperial treasurer of the national Shrine organization, and one of the best known figures in Shrinedom. The occasion is set for October IS, at Pitts burgh. The invitation is more highly prized by Christy for the reason that he was chosen as one of the 70 guests to help celebrate the venerable Shrin- CTS roth birthday: Owing to the pressure of fair duties, however, he will be unable to attend.

BLIND; NO HANDS; TYPEWRITES

LONDON, Eng.-Blind and depriv- ed of both hands, Sergeant Alan M. Nichols of the Second Durham Light Infantry, refused to be classed as an "unemployable," and today he can write letters as profciently as any normal stenographer. Nichols resto- ration to a self-supporting basis was accomplished through patient training on specially constructed typewriter, with pair of artificial aluminium hands and his own indomitable spirit. Recently he passed a writing test of two hours and fifteen minutes, his "copy" necessitating only two correc- tions.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-A 1000 dia- mond changed hands here for thirteen cents.
 A small boy went into the store of Mrs. Lillian Schindel and rendered her the stone for the price of a soft drink and an ice cream cone. He said he had found it. The woman had no idea the stone was valuable until later, when she learned that neighbor had lost a diamond.
