It will be good news to the followers of the Hol- brook Oil Go. to know that all the new equipment is on the ground, and it is merely a matter of rigging now be- fore the hum of the usual activity will be heard at the well. Various rumors have been in circulation regarding this we'll and what has been disclosed. Aside from the fact that the management is determined to go any depth necessary and has made thorough preparations, ,noth- ing has been given out, ,altho there seei1as 50 be a strong basis for the strong confi-

FRANK J. BRUNDAGE
 DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Frank J. Brundage, large landholder in Arizona and California, died at his home in Farmersville, California, early Wednesday morning. He was in HoIbrook a short time ago, recovering from an operation, and leftappar
 ently in the best of health. He was one of the largest landholders in this section, his holdings being in the shallow oil fields upon which the Pinto Petroleum 6 Land Go. is now drilling. He was about 40 years of age, and his passing out removes an important factor in the de- velopment of Arizona's com ing industry---oil products.

ADAMANA

The drill is still pounding away, getting nearer and nearer to the sand that the geologist says they should tap lat about the depth they are now in.
 The present formation is a brown limestone, which the driller declares is the finest cap rock he ever drilled.
 This ground shows free oil at every .bailing and a continuous flow of gas.
 January should surely see the Adamana flowing oil. A gusher is predicted by those who have recently in- spected the well.

RING OUT THE OLD RING IN THE NEW

This is house cleaning day at the court house and it resembles the aftermath of "a writ of ejection around the sheriff's office.
 Somewhere out on the arid desert, exact location un- known, the remains of what remains of John Barleycorn in the custody of the retiring sheriff is being confiscated, whatever that means, as ap- piled to 100 proof booze.
 The county superintendent and assessor were busy pre- pairing their getaway, while in the supervisors office the 'maledictory" address was being delivered, and Chair man Cresswell was being coached on the best method of handling a pair of recall citrant repubs.
 At any rate, with the re- tirement of R. s. Teeple as clerk of the board Navajo county relinquishes one of the most competent officials in the state, and Flanigan and Freeman retire with a consciousness of having per formed their duties in an eff icient and faithful manner, and the News voices the sentiment of the county in expressing to the retiring board the good will and appreciation of faithful ser vices performed.

BAD MEX. MURDERS
 WIFE AT COOLEY

Sometime Monday Ignacio Gonzales, a Mexican en- 'ployed at the mill in Cooley murdered his wife by stran- gulation with a towel, lock ed up the house and made his getaway.
 It was not until late We'd nesday that the crime was discovered, and word was immediately wired to the surrounding towns.
 He had very little money and it is believed that he is in hiding somewhere iu Nav ajo or Apache counties.
 He is about 35 years old, gold front tooth, smooth shaven and a scar on the back of his right hand.
 He wore a khaki coat and pants and gray sweater.

GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION DEMANDED AT ONCE

from resting Louie on the prisoners roost.
 Neg Begay read in the southwest news where a banker was running loose with $40,00 worth of secur- ities in his jeans, so he came to the conclusion that there was another pair at home and on the night before Christmas he made his way to the homestead of the only solvent banker he knew and folded his extra pants and silently stole away.
 Now, as the Happy New Year dawns, and good reso- lutions are in order, the poor Indian that swiped the bank er's pants, without bail, is in jail; a banker, without bail, is allowed his liberty through the operation of the system of special privilege and once more blind justice gets a swat in the solar plexus; the Arizona statutes are defiantly disregarded and liberty under the law becomes a mockery.

dence that evidently prevails as to the outcome of this de velopment. The fact that a large expenditure has been made to perfect the rig for any eventqality is in itself an indication that the back CTS of this company are en- couraged in their efforts. It is reasonable to suppose that with the present depth of the we'll that if the drilling had not conformed to pre- vious geological prediction which, as we all know, has been remarkably favorable, that the enthusiasm of the management would have been somewhat dampened and probably effort would have been made to go ahead with the equipment at hand, of itself no mean layout. h. stead we find all possible haste being made to pre- pare for heavy work and the confidence of the manage ment unmistakably growing.
 Another phase of the mat ter which may be overlook ed is that the officials of this company have never been inclined to make premature disclosures and if, as we be- lieve, the showing is of prime importance, the reticence of the management to make public statements is. but a continuation of the consist ent attitude followed thru out operations to date.

While nothing definite as to the probable loss in the wrecking of the Reynolds bank is known, it is believed by those working in the de- bris of the Reynolds system that the ones that milked the bank to it's last cent, even taking the county and city's cash and replacing it with questionable paper, are going to come across and help ease up the feeling of distrust for the Reynolds outfit that has sprung up all over the southwest since the details of the raw deal in IIolbrook has come to light.
 There is very little sym pathy for the family of bank CTS in Navajo county, and it is generally conceded that every dog has his day, " and that the once powerful family of fnanciers is going the way of carpetbag legis- lation, Mexican land grants and hand picked governors.
 Judge Crosby returned from Albuquerque Wednes- day, and reports. that.the First National has conde- scended to aid in clearing up the wreck, and that an agreement was reached on the Fancher paper whereby sixty cents on the dollar or about $35, 900 will be realiz- ed at once for the depositors.
 The First National of AL buquerque who swooped down on this bank when the county deposits were made in October and carted off all the cash in sight, leaving in lieu thereof a lot of ques- tionable paper, even ex- changing for cash securities on obligations that were not yet due, so anxious were they to get theirs while the getting was good.
 The Albuquerque bank, which in a way was recog- nized as the family tree that bore more or less sound fruit, was responsible in a large measure for the collapse here and, at first was rather cocky about their name be- ing associated with this unit of the Reynolds system; but

The preliminary trial of

The preliminary trial of Lewis M. Reynolds, presi- dent of the defunct Ray, holds system of banking was held before Justice Freeman of Snowflake last Monday.
 In the course of the tes- timony a lot of incrimina- ting information against the individual and the Reynolds system oozed up to the pub lie gaze for the first time and laid bare the dishonor- able methods employed in the footing of the institu- tion and the futile efforts of the Reynolds outfit to unload their junk securities in Texas or Oklahoma on the strength of the oil pros poets.
 The testimony brought out the fact that the bank was hanging on a very slen- der thread for a long time previous to the coming of the receiver, and Reynolds stated that if they had brought in oil the bank would have recouped it's losses over night that is as soon as enough new suckers had arrived to rescue the perishing.
 Reynolds, so the testimo- ny goes, had tramped all over the middle west in a desperate effort to hook the securities that Uncle Josh's bank had thrown in the dis card.
 While he was vainly en- deavoring to cash in on the Reynolds name and system the customers asked him why the Reynolds bunch in New Mexico did not take care of him as had been their custom, and he said the New Mexico bunch was holding out on him, or words to that effect.
 They said ''the First Ma tional of Albuquerque has plenty of money, if this pa per isn't good to them it is no good to us."
 Reynolds said if he could not raise some money he would have to close up, and during all this frenzied finance siege he was grab ping every dollar that show ed up at the window.
 Reynolds told the witness that his attorney advised him to close the bank before

as the investigation of the system proceeds the Albu- querque outfit are in a more conciliatory and repentant mood, and to save their own bacon from the exposure that is bound to follow---es- pecially if a grand jury of Navajo county citizens take a poke at the Reynolds sys- tenn of banking---they are liable to come up to the counter and settle with the fiddlers that furnished the music and the dough for Louie to have a good time and keep out of jail.

he did or he would get into serious trouble.
 The fact was well estab- lished that Reynolds opened the bank for deposits after he knew it was insolvent and against the warning of his attorney.
 The testimony of L. Nj. Carpenter brought out the fact that Reynolds, in the throes of desperation, had secured the southwest for funds to keep afIoat, but the fact that the Reynolds bank in Albuquerque had got out from under him queered him on every hand.
 A part of the records of the report of the bank ex- aminer were read into the testimony, which showed that after closing the bank on Saturday several checks were paid to the banks at- torney and others who knew the bank was on the rocks.
 The testimony was so conclusive to which the de- fendant offered no rebuttal that the court held him to answer to the Superior court in bonds of $50, 000-that up to the present time he has not been able to furnish, but is still at large in direct de- fiance of the laws of Arizona which provide that a pris- oner must be actually con- fined in jail until released by legal process, otherwise he is held to be an escape, and those responsible for his escape are punishable by a fine and imprisonment.
