Watchful Waiting

Last Sunday afternoon while
out driving on the Holbrook road
we noticed a large crowd of our
best citizens intently watching
the water go under the bridge
over the Colorado river, and up
on making inquiry, we were in
formed that during the recent
floods in Gallup, one of their cit
izen's cellar was washed out and
sixty cases and one barrel of the
best whiskey was taken down
the Rio Puerco. Some of our
enterprlslng citizens had gone to
an engineer and he had figured
that the water would travel at
the rate of fifteen miles a day,
which should bring the cargo
under the bridge here sometime
Sunday. We wouldn't dare men.
tion the names of some of the
watchful walters, but we were
more than convinced what they
were looking for. We would no
doubt have joined the expectant
throng, but we had inside infor-
nation that the cargo had been
intercepted in Holbrook.

was present and fully explained
to the council the method by

ed for the paving of the Nation

Mr.. Walton explained that in or
der for us to take advantage of
this offer was to get busy i'm
mediately as the offer would ex-
pire January 1st. The mayor
then called a special meeting for
next Monday night to determine
whether this town wants paving
or not, and in the meantime the

Should Be Removed

The city dumping ground on
the Clear Creek highway near
Sam Hayes home is an eye sore
and a disgrace to the city and
should be removed at once. It
is disease breeding ground and
in plain view of the highway and
will create bad impression of
the town in the minds of all
tourists who pass by.
Doctor Sampson, Superintend-
ent of the County Board of Health,
issued an order some time ago
that no dumping ground should
be maintained within two miles
of any public highway, or incor-
porated city, town or village in
Navajo county. This dumping
ground is fragrant violation of
this order, as it is directly ad
joining the public highway, and
is within the two mile limit of
the town. 1t is not only up to
the city authorities, but it is
compulsory that they have this
pile of filth and rubbish removed
at once, and that they select a
city dumping ground complying
with the letter of DR.. Simpsons S
order.

TRUCK NEEDED TO CONTENTS BRADSHAW STORE

A very bold and successful bur glary took place last night when the Bradshaw Cl-thing Go. of 1885 East Main street, was broken into and large part of the stock was taken away. MT. Bradshaw, who lives in the West End, closed the store about g o'clock last night and when he opened this morning everything look ed all right 8rom the outside. When he went inside he found that most of his stock had. been stolen. The goods had been takOn from the boxes, which were left so as to appear all right from the front.
 An examination showed that a rear window had been forced and the burglars, who must have been small, entered beneath the bars which did not reach down to the sill. The goods taken consist of mems pants, shirts. sweaters, underwear, socks, prints in the wet ground of the back yard show that the goods were taken over the reac fence to Beach street and from the amount of goods taken an automobile or truck must have been used Neighbors say they heard noises and that a dog parked loudly for a long time but on account of the storm they did not investigate. MT. Bradshaw notified the police and they are trying to discover the bur glars.
