Big Pursuit and Rescue!

Snowflake was unceremoniously
aroused from its peaceful slum-

of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Heaton,
came up from Holbrook to visit
the Heaton family. Mrs. Nimmo
proceeded to make friends with
the family baby, which is atonce
hers and not hers by a story out
of the pale of this incident.
When a mutual understanding
between mother and child had
been established friend mama
left the hotel with her charge,
going a short way up the street

waiting. Just outside town, an

took over the human cargo and
he stepped on the gas.

New Mail Contractors on
Holbrook- Fl. Apache Line

The Holbrook-Ft. Apache Mail
line changed hands on the first
OF this month. The new contract
was let at something over SIS. 900
or about $1,000 less than the
previous contract. The new con-
tract was awarded to the Udall
Transportation Co. of Holbrook.
They now have the mail con-
tracts on this line, the Holbrook
--Eagar, and the Holbrook--
Keams Canyon routes.
No change in the schedule of
mail deliveries will be made. the
mail arriving and departing each
way at the same hours as for
merly. A slight difference in
the way the mail will be handled
lies in the fact that the starting
car will make the entire trip to
Fort Apache; i. e. each of two
cars, will go up one day and back
the next. The Apache railroad
will continue to handle the par
eel post and 1st class mail BIZ

July 5, 1922.
Mr.. John N. Gruhl,
Winslow, Arizona.
My dear Mr.. Gruhl:
1t has come to my attention
that you have announced your
self as candidate at the Pri-
mary in September for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Clerk of
the Superior Court of Navajo
County, and also that you have
made the statement that |
would not be candidate for re-
election to that office.
Knowing you to be a good
citizen and a lover of fair play,
] am sure that in this campaign
you would not want to obtain
support under a misapprehension
of the facts.
am candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for reelection
to the Office Of Clerk of the Su-
perior Court of Navajo County,
and have never authorized any
person to say that | was not a
candidate for that office. Fur
ther, have never told any one
that | would not positively be a
candidate Every conversation
| have had with my friends and
others has been to the effect that
| would be candidate, and my
hat is in the ring.
am publishing this as an open
letter in the county papers to
assist you in placing the true
facts before the voters.
Very truly yours.

Snowflake Celebrates
4th. Sports Tame

independence day. was appro-
priately celebrated here Tues
day. The colors were raised by
Judge Freeman at sunrise, the
ceremony being attended by Gus
tomary frills and flourishes. An
enjoyable serenade was given in
the early morning by hereto
fore scarcely heard of band un-
der the leadership of ]. R. Gran
dell.
A program of the first order
was given in the forenoon. The
Grafton, Americas Place in the
World Today" by Bp. Smith was
particularly excellent. 1t show
ed careful and intensive prepar-
alton. was written in choice, Sc
lect language and was we'll read.
All the other parts were of a
high standard also. In fact
twas said by many that the pro-
gram as a whole was the best Of
it's kind ever held in Snowflake.
Having thus praised the fore
noon's program, we are through,
however. The afternoon sports
were pretty tame, nothing OF
any Importance transpiring.
The sports were designed, no
doubt, especially for children and
they probably enjoyed them, but
to the adults the afternoon was
ANYTHING but whirlwind. 1t
was. however, about what was
expected in view of the larger
celebrations in other towns, but
/ let us hope the oath celebration
will prove attractive enough to
draw a visiting crowd. And
/ let us likewise see to it that that
visiting crowd doesn't get dis
appointed.
