SECRETARY FALL AND BOULDER
CANYON PROJECT

1t now appears that Secretary of
the Interior Fall will visit the
Boulder Canyon project on the Col
orado river in the near future. The
reports of Engineer Davis are now
in his hands but Blythe and some
of the sections of country adjacent
to the Colorado river lying south of
the dam site are obiecting. 1t is
hardly probable they fully under
stand else they would make no OBJ
lection to something that will be of
inestimable value to them.
1t is rather pleasing to know that
the government is taking sufficient
interest in the project to have the
Secretary of Interior make per-
sonal visit to the location for an
individual inspection Another very
pleasing feature is that the secre
tary is a. thoroughly western man
and will not be bothered by any of
the tenderfoot misunderstanding of
the real situation or take a wrong
estimate of what our great western
country possesses in undeveloped
resources, the things which the
press of today is calling potential

WHAT is A BURRO.

That's what's puzzling four of our
attorneys, who say they'll puzzle
Judge J. E. Jones with it before
they are through.
What is burro? An animal of
that designation was stolen from
Andrew Chavez last fall. Jacob Pa
checo has been arrested for it. His
attorney Frank Harrison. on the
other hand, says he can't be punish
ed, even if he did steal the burro ;
for, while the law says it's a crime
to steal burrO, and he insists
sundry other animals, it says no
thing about a burro. and he insists
that Harbin and Gold of the county
attorneys office, can't prove that a
burro is a horse, cat, dog, COW, or
even a iackass.
The latter assert otherwise. They
say Webster SAYS a iackass is don
key. donkey is al Ass, and an ass
is small, big-eared, loud-mouthed
cuss commonly called a burro in the
southwest.-Coconino Sun.

MURDER CHARGE FILED In THE
McLENNON CASE

A warrant was issued last week
for the arrest of Mrs Elsie McLen-
non charged in a complaint filed
with the murder cf Robert A. Nc
Lennon The defendant was in
court Saturday and placed under a
bond of $4,000 for her appearance
at the preliminary trial which is set
i'or July 20. A strong legal array
appears in this case. 1t now ap-
pears that Attorneys G. H. Jordan
and John L. Sweeney will assist
County Attorney T. r. Greer in the
prosecution of the case. G. B. Will
son of Flagstaff has been retained
by the defense and undoubtedly 9TH

him in the defense.
This case is one of the most i'm
sportant in the recent history of this
county's criminal annals.

WESTERN STYLE

back to town where he was prompt
ly k illed and barbecueed.
A chicken pulling contest was
won by Hard Boiled Harry after
three of four Indians had made
strenuous efforts to catch the pull
let by its ears. Some obstinate bur-
ros were then brought forth and
furnished considerable merriment
and excitement for our visitors as
they succeeded in outrunning about
q dozen of our COW hands; one was
tossed in front of the grand stand,
however, tied securely, given a cou-
pie of kicks in the Stats by his
master and then released. After
the burro was released of his bind
ing, he got up, shook his ears at our
Baltimore friends, winked at their
Exalted Ruler and walked off. Jo-
hansen promptly followed him as
he understood a wink had some
particular significance in Arizona.
We have been told by people pret-
ty well up in matters of finance that
there were forty three millionaires
in this delegation and as this is
about the most money ever repre-
sented in Winslow at one time we
ought to feel all swelled up about
it. any way. every one seems to fig
ure that we got lust as much kick
out of entertaining the Baltimore
aggregation as they got out of it
they come back and stay all day so
that we can show them the wonder
full CANYONS. rock formations, the
near by cliff dwelling meteor

petrifed forests. If they enjoved
the show we made for them. they
certainly could have more than en-

tanned all of the visitors passing
through here that evening and they
did not stop coming until 80 in
the morning. At the time the last
train passed through here there
were four hundred townehnopla on
the depot platform. The Brooklyn
aggregation was some live crew
and danced with the natives for for
ty minutes The enthusiasm with
which the towns people entered in
TO the fun proved that when some
one starts a little show in this town
nearly everyone is going to help
make it go. A few more davs like

The entertainment of the Balti-
more Elks turned out to be a holi-
day for most of Winslow, even
though the Baltimore people were
with us for only short time. Most
OF the Baltimore crowd had never
witnessed any real rough-riding or
genuine Indian dancing and what
little we were able to give them was
undoubtedly appreciated; as mat
ter of fact those with the train were
loud in their praise of the efforts
put forth in our attempt at enter-
tanning them The train arrived at
7:35 in the morning and the people
were all met at the train by the re
ception committee. After a wait of
a few minutes while the dining
room was cleared everyone enjoyed
a good breakfast and then cars were
provided to take our guests to the
Park where Jack Kaufman address
cd the assemblage on behelf of the
Winslow Lodge of Elks and the peo-
pie of Winslow assuring everyone
of our desire to give them all the
entertainment it was possible to
furnish in the short time they had
to stay. The Leupp Indian band
proved to be real novelty: the idea
that Indians could learn to play
musical instruments and get real
music out of them had a real "kick'
in 1t for most of our eastern visi-
tors.
After short speech by Paul Jo-
hansen, the Exalted Ruler of the
Elks; of Baltimore Lodge No 7. in
which he presented the Winslow
lodge with wonderful sterling sill
yer token of remembrance and ap
preciation, the program got under
way with an Indian dance which
was very much enjoyed by every
one. It proved to be- new to most
of the town people and surely was
new to our guests, it being the first
time that this particular dance was
ever put on bv the Hopis off their
reservation Some one then turned
a bull loose that Cheyenne Kiser en-
deavored to catch on a two legged
pony, and finally succeeded in run
ming it down after going half way
around the race track. Cheyenne

Elsewhere in this issue of the

for bids on the construction of the

The request comes from the State
Highway department and is the re-
suit of the recent conference be-
tween city and state officials held
at the state capital some days ago.
The city had heretofore advertised
for these bids but as there was an
evident difference of practice be-
tween the city and federal govern
ments in the matter of accepting
bids. the matter has been clarified
by the state asking for the bids as
per the advertising which appears

HOLBROOK DEFEATS WINSLOW


After winning the baseball cham
pionship of Northern Arizona, the
Winslow baseball team came home
last Sunday and bowed it's head to
the Holbrook ball team. We are
not sure what the score was.
think it was about IL to H.
The writer has been intimately
acquainted with each member of the
ball team and knows that the form
exhibited last Sunday at the local
park was not what the team is real
ly able to produce. The entire sit
uation can be summed up in the fol-
lowing: Winslow knew it had an
easy victory in its hands when it
played Holbrook: consequently the
players were not inclined to put in
to the game all that was in them,
figuring that perhaps in the last in
ming or so, should Winslow be a run
or two behind, the team could bat
it's way to an easy victory In this
case the necessary punch failed.
A good number of fans came out
TO see Holbrook slaughtered They
meant well and were on hand to
lend their support In writing this,
| feel that the local people did not
receive exactly the best of the deal
and did not see the class of baseball
that they paid to see. We believe
that ball players should play their
best at all times or not at all, If
fans come out and support the team
they have right to expect players
to do their best The next game to
be played here will be July oath.

FRIDAYS FISTIC FUN

The boxing contests held at the
dome last Friday night under the
auspices of the Winslow Atheletic
club were well attended and the
contests afforded more than usual
interest to the fight fans present.
The first bout of fcurA rounds result
ed in a real knockout with artistic
staging.
In the second bout Young Snyder
and Gilbert Kilgore contested for
four rounds to a decision, it being
handed to Snyder as he had the best
of every round except the first.
Joe Fisher was given a decision
over Joe Garcia, leading all the way
The betting element received a
wonderful knockout in this entan-
ers who will be glad to see Fisher
IN the ring again.
In the main ev&nt scheduled for
ten rounds, Jack Rooney obtained a
technical decision over Wild Bill
Tanner in the fifth round. The de-
cision was not at all popular with
some of the fans. The Mail is not
passing on that point, however The
circumstances seem to be that the
two boxers clinched in the fifth and
ell through the ropes, Rooney land
ing on top. Tanner seemed a little
low in climbing back through the
'opes end was counted out Rooney
weighed in 1S3 pounds and Tanner
1T 158 and had been putting up a
'ine exhibition up to the time of the
tumble through the ropes. Alto
