MYSTERIOUS LETTER GIVES
 OFFICERS NEW MURDER CLUE

Location of the writer of letter stating that Walter Steinbrook, pion- eer prospector of Yavapai county missing since last December and be- ieved to have been the victim of a murder, had left the ranch where he was living on Blind Indian creek and had gone to California, and departure of a party from the sheriff's office to institute a search for the remaining parts of the body found last Friday at the bottom of an abandoned shaft near the ranch, were the chief devel- opments of the inquiry revolving around the disappearance of Stein brook and the discovery of the remains of a human body near his ranch.
 It developed that letter had been sent last Friday to Frank Wilson, nephew of Walter Steinbrook, stating that the latter had left the ranch and gone to California. Steinbrook dis appeared between December 26 and January 1. The writer of this letter, whose name was not revealed, was To- cated and subpoenaed to appear be- fore the coroner's jury at continua- tion of it's inquest. Session of the in- quest was postponed to await the ar rival of the letter-writer and the ex- plantations he or she will be called up- on to make as to why the statement concerning Steinbrook's departure was made and where the information was obtained.

SUPERVISORS BEAT ALL
 FISHING RECORDS

The county board of supervisors did a good turn to every person in the county when they put crews of men to work, under Jim Bogus at Mormon Lake, and Jim Baxter, at Lake Mary, and transferred fish that had been isolated in various mud holes by the settling waters, into the main parts of the lakes. Hundreds of thousands of fish were thus saved, ranging in size from the smallest minnow to two- pounders. In one hole at Mormon Lake the 50-foot seine picked up so many fish that the men couldn't handle it, and team had to be hitched on to tow it to the main body.
 New fish have been put in Mormon Lake, and more will be soon. This restocking, combined with the intelli- gent means taken not to lose by drought-settled water any that we now have, will insure good fishing.
 Mormon Lake is fast growing in popularity with fishermen, and now that Montezuma Lodge has been open ed up there, it will, before the end of another summer, be the most popular recreation place in the state.

MUCH MORE STREET PAVING
 TO BE DONE THIS YEAR

Colonel E. Power Conway, of Phoen- TX, was in Flagstaff, Saturday, going over the plans and specifications of the new bithulithic paving work which IS contemplated for number of blocks In the city after the completion of the work by Warren Brothers on the main highway through Flagstaff. It is ex- pected that the old contract by War ren Brothers will be completed by the tenth of this month, when they will be ready to take on the new work. The people of Flagstaff have definitely decided that the work done by this company has been of the best. The old paving has stood the test and there are but few people who want any other brand of paving put down in Flagstaff. The climate of Flag staff has tested out the old paving laid, by hot weather and freezes. With all the tests it has proven the best that can be secured for the mon- ey and there has been very little cost for maintaining the paving; in fact there has been no cost for repairs, at least repairs necessitated because of the wear on the surface.

DANCED IN, PLANNED
 DANCES, THEN HE
 DANCED AWAY AGAIN

Arizona" Edwards, who came here a few days ago with his wife and said he was going to make Flagstaff grow to wondrous size by putting up a dance hall, has returned to Long Beach, forgetting business engage ment or two he had there. He evil dently also forgot that he had wired MT. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, ana the lat ter's sister, all of Long Beach, who comprise one of the best orchestras there, to come here and play for his dances. When they arrived, all ready to tune up and jazz for us, they found Edwards had gone, and their jazzing spirit began to ooze away at once. They decided to stay here a month or so, anyway, and are considering whether they have sufficient cause for placing their case in the hands of an attorney.

UNDERESTIMATE BOWERS
 KILLED AT PRESCOTT

Deputy Sheriff E. G. Grove of Mari copa county was the only witness at the inquest on the murder of Under Coroner Charles H. McLane, at which the verdict of death by bullet wound inflicted by one Frank George with homicidal intent, was rendered.
 When Undersheriff Bowers was called to the Weaver street home of Frank George Thursday afternoon at the request of neighbors, who said he was drunk and shooting his Savage pump rife, Deputy Sheriff Grove, of Phoenix, who is in Prescott on a va- cation and has been sworn in as a deputy here, went with him.
 As they advanced on the house, it was decided that Bowers go in the front door and Grove the rear. Bow CTS entered the front room, which was divided by thin drapery from an- other room in which George was standing. As Bowers entered the room, George fired at him. The under sheriff ran out of the front door, out of the yard and about 75 feet from the gate, bleeding from the wound and from the mouth before he dropped dead.
 As George fired at Bowers, Grove, at the side of the house, saw him through window and fired through the screen, hitting him twice, once in the side of the left leg just above the knee, and again in the left thigh. George turned and fired at Grove be- fore he fell, the bullet passing just above Crowe's head.

SENATOR STODDARD VISITS
 FLAG. HUNTING SUMMER HOME

Senator Celora Stoddard, Mrs. Stod- dard and Thomas Dunbar of Phoenix, were in Flagstaff the first of the week looking over the cool spots with a view of building a summer home. Senator Stoddard visited Mormon lake and came back very much pleased with the possibilities there, and on Sunday went to Oak Creek for an in- spection of that famous trout stream before finally deciding just where he wants to locate. The fishing, boating and hunting around Mormon lake pleased the party very much. Strange to say, this is the senator's first vis- it to the many places of interest in the north, though he has lived the most of his life in Arizona, and he en- unused much over the prospects of a summer home here.

RIDICULE REPORT THAT RED
 WHISPERS ESCAPED POSSE

There is ridicule of a report that the individual lately killed in the mountains while resisting arrest was not "Red Whiskers" E. B. Burnett, and that the local officers, making mistake, had offered another mans corpse in the hope of reward.
 Judges, penitentiary guards, jailors and local peace officers all join in the emphatic assertion that the body was that of Burnett, capable of positive identification by reason or marks and scars.
