kOEHLER VICTOR

IN JUNIOR SINGLES
Saturdays events in the tennis
tournament were among the most
notable yet played. The Koehler-
Talent game in the Junior singles
was one older players might fail
to carry off with as much credit,
and was one that was hard to beat
from start to finish. The count
o. points at the close was 15S to
1876. Koehler is still in the run
ming as a single. The junior dou-
BILE match was also hotly con-
tested, with close play on both
sides. Following are Saturdays
results;
Junior Singles.
Fred Koehler beat Torrance
Talent.
Junior Doubles.
Boys-Talent and Banks beat
Koehler Brothers.
Girls-Thelma and Mildred Bee
son beat Josephine Barber and
Juanita Griffin.
All players have carried on
through the tournament in a most
creditable manner. Fred Koch
ler's playing has been exception
ally good throughout, playing 4
tight game in each contest. There
has been little to choose among
the various contestants, as all
have done exceptionally we'll.
The following drawings have
been made for the free for all

MUNICIPAL SALE SUCCESS

The results of the first municipal sale of Govern ment supplies was an un- qualified success and Mayor Lee says the result surpassed h S fondest expectations, some $23O0.00 being taken in yesterday, the first day of the sale. This leaves some $700. co worth of goods still to. be sold from the first con- signment., The supply of beans, both canned a n d dried, is expected in Monday and will be placed on sale immediately. An 7endeavor is also being made to secure a large consignment o f bacon to place on sale.
 The Navajo Garage, space in which was generously do- mated for the. occasion by Bradley 6 Williams, present. ed a lively scene all day yes tesday. Tomatoes a n d blankets seemed to have the call, and army shoes were snapped up like hot cakes, which would indicate the popular disapproval of the generally prevailing prices on shoes.
 Citizens should keep in touch with the situation as more goods are expected Monday and the sale will be continued.

CALL FOR RECRUITS

Under date of January 18th, Acting Governor Nit Simms issued a proclamation, at the request of the Navy department, calling for 150 recruits to fill vacancies on board "Uncle Sam's" fight ing ships. The United States asks Arizona for 150 young men to enlist during the months of January and Feb ruary to help fill the vacanc- ies in the Navy caused by granting of discharges to men who enlisted only for the duration of the war.
 The Navy offers training of marked value and no doubt Arizona will respond to the call for it's comple- ment of men for the first line of defense. "

IN JUSTICE COURT

The first of the locally famous "poker cases" was tried before Judge Easley last Tuesday, Attorney c. H. Jordan actingas prosecut- ing attorney in place of County Attorney Gre CT. After the evidence was in the prosecutor stated to the court that in his opinion the evidence did not justify a conviction. The court, how ever referred the case to the jury who shortly returned a verdict of Guilty. It is said the ballots were: 1st ballot-six to six; second bal lot eight to four, third ballot ten or two and the fourth ballot guilty.
 A fine of $l5O.00 was as- sessed by Judge Easley against the defendant Lewis, and the case appealed to the superior court. The setting of the remaining cases for trial is evincing much inter est.
 The jury, trying the case, was very representative of Holbrook's business m e n |. One prominent citizen raced clear from the court house to the postofice to avoid be- ing drawn in an extra panel of six jurymen for this case. He claimed he thought poker chips were "tiddledewinks"

LOOKS SAFE-IS SAFE

That big, bulky, burlaped article you may have noticed in front of the jewelry store of H. w. Hughes Wednes- day evening was a safe. Not only is it a safe, but it is a big safe, and Mr. Hughes assured us that it is a safe safe. From the Cary fact ory, and with especially thick walls, this represents the ne plus ultra of store safes and was purchased byMr. Hughes as an additional protection to his host of customers who leave articles of value to be repaired. Likewise it is a protection for the excellent stock carried by our progres- sive jeweler. The safe is about four feet across and nearly as deep, being some seven feet tall.

PRAISES HOLBROOK
 HIGH SCHOOL CORPS

In an article appearing in
 the Phoenix Republican of
 Friday, the 18th inst, Ad- jutant General w. s. Ingalls,, who recently inspected the Holbrook Cadet Corps, gives high praise to this organiz- ation. An excerpt from the article under comment reads.
 "Outstripping all t h e high school cadet companies in the state for enthusiasm and fine showing, according Ito the adjutant general, the Holbrook boys are fully uni formed, perfectly drilled, and in his opinion, they are some Shooters. He offers no explanation to account for the wonderful ability of the desperate, daredevils of Holbrook, but he insists they shot the hole in Hol- brook and asserts the belief that no other high school is going to take much interest in their challenge. "
 The challenge" referred to being one sent out by our local cadets to outshoot any high school cadet company in the state ''any age, any range, or anything else.
 Needless to say, t h is praise from the adjutant general is both merited and appreciated by the Holbrook company and it's instructor, Capt. Dolman, and should be an incentive to continued effort to make the company competent to withstand all competitors both in drill and craftsmanship.

HOLBROOK OIL co.
 MAKING PROGRESS

Dad Hastings, Field Supt.
 of the Holbrook Oil Com
 pany was in town a few
 minutes Tuesday, having to bring in the camp cook who was taken suddenly i'll. Dad returned immediately to the well in order that work might not be delayed. He states that good progress is being made considering all the recent obstacles and that the drill is dropping with re- gularity. The formation is still difficult, although not quite as hard as the 610 feet of Coconino sandstone en- countered in the first part of the drilling. No water has been encountered as yet in the we'll. The recent snow and rain will probably make water available much closer to the rig than the supply now being used. A few days of sunshine and a little wind will place the roads in workable condition again.

DUSTIN FARNUM IN
 "A MANS FIGHT

The following is a synopsis
 of "A Mans Fight, " which
 will be shown at the Pastime
 Theatre Wednesday, Jan. 28;
 / Roger Carr, of aristo-
 cratic New York family, and
 man about town, detects
 Norman Evans, his only sist-
 er's suitor, cheating at cards
 at their club. That evening
 Carr comes suddenly upon
 Evans, half intoxicated,
 pressing over-zealous atten-
 tion on Ethel in the drawing room of the Carr mansion.
 In the semi-darkness Evans is shot dead, and a revolver is slid along the floor be- tween Carr and his sister Ethel, Each believes the other fired the shot. Carr, though innocent, to save his sister makes no denial of the shooting. Clever lawyers get the sentence reduced to a short term of years in the penitentiary, and Carr goes to Sing Sing. Ethel becomes Sister Carmen, a nun in a Western convent.
 Emerging from the peni- tentiary on the expiration of his term, Carr is spurned by his patrician old father for the disgrace he has brought on the aristocratic family. With a manly mans determ- ination to yet make good and win honor for the name he. assumes, Carr, under the alias of John Rand, goes to Colorado and makes a sue cess as the industrial and po- litical leader of the Inde- pendents among the mine owners. He is openly court ed by the daughter of the richest of the Independents, and is secretly loved, too, by. his pretty secretary, a young Western girl of the worth while type. Straining every effort to wreck Rand's im- pending triumph, his politi- cal foes stumble upon his Sing Sing past. Fate grins in his face as for the second time it is on the point of. him an outcast, when in startling fashion the truth comes to light with the two women he adores, Sister Car men and the little secretary, as its medium, and forms a striking denouement to this Tom J. Geraghty fascinating story.

pany. It stands to reason that if the results had not been sufficiently encourag- ing that there would have been no further attempt by this company to acquire large acreage (which they are doing), or to negotia te the completion of their well and the inception of even greater activity. No capi- tai, such as that now being interested in behalf of the Hopi, Adamana, and other operations, could be secured unless the Holbrook Field has removed the great maxi mum of doubt.
 At present three wells are actually in operation, the Holbrook Oil, the Apache and the Black Canyon. The Zuni will resume, says Man ager Wesley, upon first sign of satisfactory road condi- tions. The continuation of the Hopi and Adamana is a foregone conclusion from re- cent negotiations with large interests.
 There is no doubt but that operations on a large scale will be seen in this field in the near future. The Allen Oil Company has opened an office in Holbrook, which bears out the reported in- tent of this company to oper- ate in the spring. T h e favorable report. of Chief 'Geologist Craise of this com panv induced the Allen Co. to become interested and President Ritter informed the News that 1t certainly is the intention of this big concern to drill. Among others, the Keoughan-Hurst people are active, the results of their activity not yet be- ing ready for publication. M. G. Cochran of the Sin clair Company has become a resident of Holbrook and it may be inferred from this that his company is not without interest. Ear marks of Standard Oil ac- tivity are also apparent and the Royal Dutch Shell is re- ported to have acquired large acreage.
 Altogether, condi ti 0 n s look very favorable the Hol- brook and the pessimist is an extinct animal.
