 Mir. Riley and family are from Lin- coin, Neb-. and were on their way to Prescott, where they expect to locate. They left Glendale by motor car early Saturday morning and when they reached the Arizona canal they inquired of some ranchers which road was the one to Prescott They were told to keep straight ahead and after | going some 20 miles they had the | misfortune to puncture the oil pan when the car struck a rock in a high center of the road Realizing that the water was low and that they could not go on. Riley turned the car around and started back to Glendale. making good headway until the car became stalled in a sand bed By this time the water was exhausted and it was noon, and being afraid to wait until after night. the long trip afoot back to Glendale was started
 Many times during the trip on foot it was thought that they could not go on, but finally about . o'clock that night a ranch house was reached and help obtained Water was given them and they were taken to Glendale. The only i'll effects that Mir. and Mrs Riley suffered were swollen tongues and blistered feet As soon as the car can be repaired the trip to Pres colt will be resumed
