INSULTED GIRLS; ADMITS
 IT; MAY BE INSANE

A middle-aged man deserving of hanging but for the fact that he un- doubtedly is insane, was arrested a few days ago by Chief of Police R. L. Neill, on complaint of two of our most prominent townsmen. The fellow had exposed himself and made improper advances to two young girls, daugh- ters of the men making the complaint.
 When questioned by County Attor- ney F. M. Gold, the man, who is about 40 years old and says his name is Fred Gildert, readily described his actions and motives. He said he had recently came here from Kingman, that he had tried to get in jail in Phoenix and Prescott, but couldn't; had got in with a lone bandit at Parker, but re- fused to help the latter kill an Indian for his money; had stolen pipe from farmers in San Diego, where he was locked up; had also been accommo- dated with jail hospitality in every town between San Francisco and Los Angeles, while he was hoofng it be- tween those two cities on his way here. Papers in his possession showed that he was in the Spanish-American war, the Philippine expedition and the Boxer troubles in China. He said that during the eight of the twelve years he spent in the Philippines he had never been sober. He said he liked the city jail. Sheriff Harrington took him over to the county jail to see whether he approved of his treatment there during observation as to his san- ity by Dr. Felix Manning and pending sentence to either the jail or insane asylum.
 Another man was deported to Mex ico last week for an offense similar to the one admitted by Gildert, and still another is in the county jail awaiting trial on a similar charge.

MAN KILLED AT OATMAN

It is rumored here that one of the mines at Oatman caved in on Satur- day, killing several men. The fact is that there was only one man killed, whether from cave-in or an accident is not known here, nor has the name
 of the mine where the accident occur red been learned. Undertaken Van Marter, of Kingman, was at Mormon Lake when word came to Al Sims, at Lake Mary, to go after him and bring him to Flagstaff to catch train home. This Mir. Sims did. Undertaken Mar ter returned to Lake Mary last night.

SAM BLACK CANDIDATE FOR
 CONSTABLE OF FLAGSTAFF

Samuel c. Black announces his can didacy this week for the nomination on the republican ticket for the office of constable of this precinct.
 Sam has held many offices of trust during his 3S years of residence in Flagstaff, among them being city marshall, deputy city marshal, dep- uty sheriff and for a number of years was a member of the old Arizona rangers and covered the northern part of the state.
 Sam has the reputation of being a fearless officer and one that was nev. CT known to lay down on the job, nc matter how tough proposition il happened to be, and promises the same old service if nominated and elected to that office this fall.
 For a number of years past he has been ranching and running stock on his ranch near Flagstaff. He is ask ing the support of his friends for the office and there are many of them who believe he is just the "stout" man fol that position.

EARHART RUNNING STRONG
 FOR STATE TREASURER

Raymond R. Earhart, of Nogales, Santa Cruz county, was in Flagstaff the first of the week interviewing democrats with reference to his can didacy for the democratic nomination for state treasurer. He met many old-time friends even way up in this section of the country and discovered that he had good many enthusiastic supporters of his candidacy, based on their genuine liking for the man and his fitness for the office.
 Earhart was sheriff of his county during the trying times of the select i've draft in 1917 and it can be truth fully said of him by those in a posi- ton to know, that he was one of the best and most helpful Americans of the many who had that difficult work to handle. He is a thorough-going gentleman and if nominated by the democrats, will be one of the hardest men on that ticket for the republicans to defeat.
 He does not belong to the ancient order of select and permanent office holders who have guarded the official payroll since the inception of state hood and may not stand very strong with Maricopa county-the mother county of permanent officeholders, but there is a strong feeling among dem- ocrats up this way and in other parts of the state, that a cut for new deal will not hurt.
 MT. Earhart says he has met with much encouragement in other parts of the state and feels confident that he will receive a good majority over his opponent at the primaries in Sep | tember.

BATTERY SHOPPERS KAVG-
 MAN IN COMEDY OF ERRORS
Oh, yes, we won the game.


 Speaking, of course, of Sundays game between Battery "A" and King man, on the home grounds. About TOO people saw the game. To you who didn't it will not be describ- ed in detail, because if you had any interest in it you would have been there to see it.
 kingman, vaunting themselves champions, played comedy of errors. Their port-sider, Smith, who recently pitched one-hit, no-run game for them, was taken out in the seventh. knorr, whom we beat once before, let in four runs in the eighth. King mans outfielders played a good game.
 This makes two out of three the Battery has taken from Kingman. The game was not so all-fired in teresting, because our boys had such an easy time of it. May put them across in faultless style. Browning, receiving him, played his usual pep pery game. O'Connor, on third, cov- erifg about 40 acres, robbed the visit ors couple of times by spectacular catches of what looked like sure hits, and his one safe hit was home run that scored two men ahead of him. Amos fielded beautifully. Gilliland got four hits in five times up. Carl son, Gray, Captain Mackey and May all had Kingman's pitchers feeding out of their grimy hands. Joe Hanley, that fleet-footed thief in center, was just as fleet-footed and just as much of thief of long hits as ever. He covers quarter section with each hand.
 The happy-go-lucky scorer, Ray ProchnOw, puts it down like this:

BOOTLEG LIQUOR so STRONG
 IT DESTROYS STILLS LINING

Matt O'Gulin was arrested at Jer- ome after federal officers uncovered galvanized iron still and destroyed large quantity of liquor declared by experts to be violent poison, as well as $50 gallons of mash.
 O'Gulin used the city dump near which the still is said by officials to have been located, to cloak the odor arising from the process, officers said. Upon examination, the zinc coating on the still was found to have oeen de- stated. " stroyed by the antecedent producing the poisonous liquid, the authorities

only clever in distorting actual facts.
 "We do not agree with him when he states that percentage alone places a team in the championship class. If a team has met and decisively defeated their opponents, in majority of the games played-then and not until then can they lay claim to championship honors. It would be very simple matter for the Battery team or any other team to select much weaker team and play them game after game for the purpose of fattening their av- craze at the weaker teams expense and surely he will admit that the per- centage is not the only governing fac tor. We have defeated all corners, with the single exception of Jerome; however, we have defeated Clarkdale and the latter team has won a major ity of games from Jerome. We care not whether Kingman gives us prop CT credit, as our record is evidence of whether we are entitled to claim base ball honors."
 Now, as to another malcontent: w. B. S0ulis, manager of the Clark dale team, in reply to the Phoenix Re- publican, which gave Flagstaff credit for winning the state championship, wrote this:
 Sporting Editor, R ub c n Clarkdale beat Jerome to 5, Jerome beat Flagstaff and Clarkdale wins three out of five from Jerome. How can Oilers and Flagstaff play for state championship honors. Clarkdale dis putes any claim for state champion ship.
 "W. B. SOULIS."
 To which the sporting editor of the Republican answered.: "Too deep for us, Mir. Foulis-perhaps the baseball park would be the logical place to set tie the question"
 With which we chip in, Mir Soulis, to remind you that though Jerome did beat us (one, game), and though you did take three out of five from Jer- ome, we beat you good and plenty in the only game we have played with you. That it isn't two games instead of one is due to the fact that you can celled the second game with us and have only recently, after hiring all the crack players in the southern part of the state, lifted your head from be- heath your slumber robe to issue your def for another trial.
 If we had had nothing harder to beat than Clarkdale and Kingman in our fight for the state championship we would not deserve any credit for having won the championship and would not claim it.
 It is we'll to remind you not to for get the game here on Sunday be- tween Battery "A" and the Williams team. The latter will come as from Williams, but if all reports are true, the team will be largely made up of players from other towns. It is said that Kukenbaker, of Seligman, will pitch, and that numerous other stars have been added temporarily to the Williams Armament. The more the merrier; the more widespread the eclipse will be and the more widely advertised. Williams must be intend ing to do something awful to us, for the usual expense guarantee has been waived at the request of Manager Scoville, of Williams, and the teams will play for a split of 70-30 on the gates. Therefore, Brother Scoville must be bubbling with confidence.
 Sunday after next, on the home grounds, Jerome will be the aspirant for scalping honors, which will wind up the present at-home season, our boys going to Jerome and Clarkdale.

Because it happened too late for OIL

Because it happened too late for our regular Tuesday bulletin, perhaps we had better remind you that on Tues day noon we had rain that dropped enough water on Flagstaff in a few minutes to pretty near supply the wants of the entire county. old Man Drought had his back so badly brok- en that he won't be able to get around this way for another year. There must have been a million tons of hail along with the rain and for a time the streets looked like mid-December. In some level places, where the water had no chance to wash the ice away, the latter was two inches deep.
