J. Toner Barr Meets
 With Serious Accident

J. Toner Barr, the Pittsburg engineer who has considerable land holdings in the Holbrook field and who spent days here recently, met with a serious ac- cident in Hollywood a few days ago. He was riding in one of the rubberneck autos and view ing the attractions in the vicinity of Los Angeles. As the car was going through Hollywood at a good speed. itskidded on the wet pavement and coIlided with a passing truck.
 Mr. Barr was thrown out rather violently and. to add to his troubles. two big fat men who were also thrown out, used him for a cushion when they fell. He had been badly crushed in an accident in Pittsburg some time ago and one of the fat men fell on the exact spot that was so badly hurt at that time.
 MT. Barr has gone to his home in the east and will, therefore. be unable to return to Holbrook as soon as was expected.

Francis w. Hayes Dies
 After Ten Days Illness

Francis w. Hayes. a young mining and oil engineer, who came to Holbrook about two weeks ago to examine into the oil possibilities of this section for a large oil company. died yester- day morning at 10:15 after an illness of ten days.
 Mr. Hayes, who was 29 years of age, accompanied by his wife. attempted to drive overland from the coast in his auto, but was stalled the other side of Flag staff by deep snow and muddy roads. The couple were forced to send the car by freight and come on the train. It is possible that the exposure of this trip was the initial cause of the sick ness to which he succmbed.
 Mir. Hayes was a man of most pleasing personality, who made an excellent impression upon those he met socially or in busi- ness. He had an excellent re- putation in his profession and at one time was in charge of the Seven Froughs Coalition mine in Nevada.

Evidently these are cases in which I will need some as- sistance, and I am request ing your honorable board to employ associate counsel for me in the preparation and defense of the above named cases. Ihave no wish to put the county to any unneces- sary expense, but 1 believe that it is customary for law yers even of proven ability and long experience to ask associate counsel in cases of such magnitude as the ones to which I refer.
 I would suggest to your honorable board that any at torney of record in the coun- ty whom you may see fit to employ will be satisfactory to me, although my prefer ence in this respect would be for anattorneyof experience, such as Judge Sapp or form CT County Attorney Thor wald Larson as associate counsel in these cases. 1 make these recommenda- tions for the reason that these men have had consid- experience and know a great deal pertaining to matters in these cases, and from the fact that I am cer- tain they would render valu- able assistance to me and the county in the conduct of these cases.

Oil Sand in the Hopi
 Other Good News

The encouraging oil indi
 cations which were encount. cred in the Hopi Oil com. Ipany's we'll shortly after the hard cross-bedded Coconinc sandstone caprock was gone through, continue to multi ply with each passing day. The sand now coming from the Hopi well, on being treated, shows oil, and the drillers' ''snut" has appear ed.
 As one oil-well driller who was at the Hopi during the week put it: smut is to oil what the bloom is t h e peach. ; It is looked upon as convincing evidence that the liquid oil is not far away.
 The representative of a very large concern, headed by a practical driller, on see ing this "smut" at the Hopi, immediately closed a con- tract for an extensive area of patented lands, paying a handsome bonus therefor in addition to the usual royalty. Since that time another con- cern has leased 2500 acres and arranged to put in a drilling rig within 90 days, with the provision that two additional drills would follow in 50 days after the discov- cry of oil.
 As a resutly of the better showing, the Hopi company is planning extensive impro- vements, among them being the laying of a two-ineh water main from the storage reservoirs to n ew tanks which will be constructed at the well. The pipe line will be about two miles in length and will convey sufficient water to the storage tanks at the well to furnifh an ample supply for the dry season. This pipe line is ex- pensive and will be of little use after the well is drilled unless oil is struck--there it would not be put in unless the outlook warranted the expenditure.
 President MacDuffee and Secretary Hennessy, of the Adamana Oil company, to- gether with associates, have bought from Harold B. Dodd all his stock interests in the Adamana. The executive officers of the company are naturally in touch with every development and their con- fidence could not find more convincing expression.
 Another pioneer of the Holbrook field gave similar expression to his confidence during the week. He was entitled to a fairly good cash commission on a deal he had put through--and it is violat-. ing no confidence to say that he could use the money. But he refused the cash finally secured a small fractional interest in the land. No piker's money" goes for him, he said.

THE NINTH COMMANDMENT
'sThOu Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy
 Neighbor."

OAA~O " S@- ~~E~J editor is dead, and intended as a criticism of the Board of Supervisors in employing legal counsel to assist the County Attorney is really toe contemptible for considera- tion in a decent community, but in order that the citizens and tax payers of this county may be kept straight on the record, The News desires to publish the facts as they are.
 The Herald states that the Board employed attorneys over the objections of the County Attorney, and that he should have been accord ed the privilege of selecting his own help instead of being hampered in his duties by a multitude of incompetent barnacles, etc.
 The first offense appears to be the employment of c. H. Jordan on a suit against the county of about $1, 600, by the Thiel D etc ctiv e Agency of Los Angeles, Cal ifornia. This case is for the alleged employment of de- tectives during the year 1917, of which the Board had no knowledge and payment on the demand of the detective agency was rejected. How ever, Mir. Larson, who was County Attorney at that time, held that a part of the bill should be paid and for that reason quite properly disqualified himself as an att torney for the defense of the county. Naturally the Board had no other course but to employ outside counsel.
 The second offense is that of the employment of Sidney Sapp in a suit instituted against the county by the Santa Fe Railway Go. for re- fund of taxes.
 Whether or not statements appearing in the Snowflake Herald should be believed or be seriously considered by the tax payers of Navajo county may best be judged byreading the following copy of a letter by County At torney Greer, relative to the above case:
