ARENAL MAN IS
SLASHED ACROSS
BACK At DANCE
FIaviO Garcia Reported to
Be in a Serious C0ndi-
tion; Three Held in Con-
neCtiOn With the Case

Flavio Garcia was badly cut
across the back Of the neck and
on the side of the face in q row
which occurred at the dance ball
at Arenal between midnight We'd
resday and one o'clock yesterday
morning. Last night Garcia was
reported to be in a serious condi-
ton from loss of blood, while his
right ear was cut almost in half.
Deputy Sheriffs Gutierrez and
Roman Nolasco hurried to the
scene Immediately after the cutting
and arrested three men in connec-
ton with the case. The three were
Alfredo Trujillo, who is a nephew
of Flavio Garcia, and Venceslado
Chavez and Valerie Chavez. The
two latter are brothers.
District Attorney e. B. Garcia
stated yesterday that he would noC
file a. complaint against the three
men arrested until the seriousness
of Flayio Garcia's wound was def
initely determined. However, later
in the day he received word that
the wounded man was on the way
to recovery.
After receipt of this word Dis
trict Attorney Garcia set bond in
the case of the three men arrested
at $1,000 each. 1t was reported
from the jail last night that Al
fredo Truiillo and Valerie Chavez
had made bond and had been re-
leased but that Venceslado Chavez
had failed to make the bond nd
was still being held.
According to Deputies Gutierrez
and Nolasco the row followed a
drinking spree. Gutierrez stated
that the three men arrested were
intoxicated at the time of their ar
rest but that Flavio Garcia was
sober. The deputies report that a
row had started between the three
and that Garcia attempted to act
as peacemaker and was cut while
doing so. They say the wound was
probably inflicted with a razor.
The cutting occurred in the same
dance hall at Arenal where Nestor
Candelaria was stabbed to death
last September. Four men are
now under indictment in connec-
tion with that case.

said,

Reports from New York that the
official scorer reversed his decision
were unsubstantiated at the Amer
lean league headquarters here, and
it was said that no poll of baseball
writer's who witnessed the play was
taken.
The official batting averages IS
sued December showed Cobb
credited with the hit but no an
nouncement concerning the ruling
was made by Johnson at the time,
except that the averages spoke for
themselves.

"RY ALL MEANS GET ROOM ENoUcH'

This statement has been made by many tax payers when asked what they thought would pc a suitable site for the proposed high school building One of the saddest mistakes of the founders of many cities has been that of fal1ng to provide ample .playgrounds for schools Often hundreds of children are crowded into playgrounds where they scarcely have room enough to turn around. As a consequence the phvsicaI development of the children is neglec- ted and this in turn hampers their intellectual progress. The disclosures of the army draft for the late showed deplorable lack of physical development among the young men of the country. A great per cent of this was tracea ble to the failure of the schools of the nation to measure up to requirements in physical training courses. Lack of sufficient play grounds has been found to be the most common hindrance to physical culture in public schools. The present Williams schools laboring un- der this handicap. It would indeed be sad mistake if a new school building were built without sufficient play grounds. There must be room for tennis courts, baseball ground and a quarter mile track.
 Ten acres is none too much By all means get enough.

ENTHUSIASM FOR HIGH SCHOOL

There is no denying that the proposal for a high school building for Williams is growing in popularity and the enthusiasm of the boosters of the High School is rapidly increasing. Many taxpayers who at first said little while gathering g facts regarding the need for building and the probable cost, have become convinced that a high school building is imperatively needed and that the cost will not be burdensome, and they have now declared for building and a good one, as soon it can be constructed.
 Tax payers urging the school board to hurry up with the election in order that the building may be completed quickly pos sible. Altogether it looks good for the future of Williams. Indications point to the high school bonds carrying with overwhelming vote which shows that the people of the munity pulling together harmoniously. We have one of the best schools in the state despite the fact that school accommodations among the poorest, considering the number of pupils enrolled. Given modern and properly equipped high school building, our schools will be second to none. Williams taxpayers have good reason. to enthusiastic over the fine building which are hoping to build.

Last winter over six million men were out of work for want of jobs. Now we have number out of work because of strikes. The country ought to be improving industrially but, it's strides in that direction seem to go about two steps forward and and nine tenths steps backward. With the coal strike gradually tying up dependent industries and with the rail strike threatening to spread to other groups of railway men. the situation is becoming grave indeed. What can Washington do about it? So far they have accomplished little if anything These are times to try in public positions Will President Harding measure up to the test? Time will tell.

WILLIAMS CAN BUILD H. s. BUILDING IS ~
 PER CENT CHEAPER THAN OTHER TOWNS

MT. Mahoney, of Lescher, Kibbey & Mahoney architects of Phoenix who in Williams We'd nesday looking over the proposed building site and estimated the cost of the needed building, made the statement that the Williams building could be erected fifteen per cent cheaper in pro portion to buildings in other towns due to the favorable building site available. He then made few comparisons with other towns where high school buildings either in course of construction recently completed. News readers will find these comparisons interesting.
 At Jerome the building site cost $5,OOO and grading cost $16,OOO. The building cost $780, 600.
 At Peoria ten of ground cost $7,OO0. The building cost $135, 900.
 At Scottsdale ten acres cost 5000.
 The building site at Flagstaff cost $1 900 an and grading will cost large not yet known. The building will at least two times as much as that in Williams.
 Ten acres of ground have been offered the Williams district free of charge If this ground should be chosen the grading would cost very little. Another advantage of this site is the easy haul from the freight depot to the proposed building.
