RUNS STILL-GETS
 $11C AND 90 DAYS

August Garcia was taken in tow by Special Officer w. K. . Case, one day last week, and brought into Judge Lees court. Case found Garcia running a Milk Can still and insisted on his bringing the still along with five gallons of distilled poison and fifty gallons or so of mash. Judge Lee fined him $11O and sentenced him to 90 days in jail. The jail sentence was suspended on condition that cia go to work.
 Stills like the type taken are a great menace to the commun- ity. White Mule of the cop per utensil type is bad enough but the milk can variety is noth- ing short of a deadly poison. The imbibing of any consider able quantity of this sort of "hootch" is a sure means of de- !cidedly shortening ones life. Case not only brought a boot legger to justice, but he pre- vented many prospective pur- chasers of the stuff injuring with that particular lot of poison.

REVENGE ON HOLBROOk
Local boys trim visitors from
 the east. Eighth girls lose.

Last Friday night the Will Hams boys matched theiE. ''legs lungs and brains" agai1ct the High School boys frora Hol- brook and came out at tF7e long end of the score of 42 Q 15- This is by far a larger score than the boys lost to this same team on the Holbrook court. Raymond Rupe led in the SCOT ing with Richard Cole and Ar nulfo Luna close seconds. The position type of game which the home team plays does not permit the guards to shoot bas- kets and this explains why Ora Conway and Jesus Quijada made no baskets but they were very much in the game never theless. The Holbrook boys felt that it was the small court that beat them but the local quintet stoutly maintains that they can repeat their Friday night drubbing on a neutral court.
 The preliminary game be- tween the eighth grade girls from Hd1brook and Williams proved as interesting as the big game notwithstanding the fact that Holbrook carried off the heavier score. The visitors showed some class and speed and since they defeated the Holbrook High second team it is no apology to say that our girls played a splendid game to keep the score down to 12 to 4.
 Friday night of this week, the boys go to Flagstaff to fill a date that the Prescott Badgers had with the husky Normalites. The Normal de- feated Holbrook the night be- fore they played in Williams by quite a healthy score so from the dope the game should be close.
 The girls team after quite a rest play the Prescott sextette on the latters' courts this Sat urday night. It is understood that there will be double header with Jerome and Pres colt Boys completing the eve nings program.
 The next game at home will be Winslow boys here on Feb. 3, and Prescott Badgers early in the same month.

TO PROSECUTE THOSE
 WHO DESTROY SIGNS

Phoenix, Jan. 20. Deter mined to call a halt to the wanton and ruthless destruct- ion of road signs, the Automo- bile Club of Arizona has posted a standing reward of $25 for the arrest and conviction of any person engaged in perpetrating this form of malicious mis- chief.
 During the past week several reports have been received that some of the nwly erected en-am- el sign have been made the tar get for firearms. Immediate ly steps u ere take l to ferret out the miscreants and see that they are properly punished, and at the same time it is determined to make the pastime of "shoot- ing up" the road signs an un- popular one from new On.
 One of the foremost and most appreciated undertakings of the club is it's program for properly signing all auto roads in the state. These signs have been erected at considera ble cost and each one represents a goodly outlay not only for the sign itself but for it's erection. Now that the Club has gone to this trouble and expense it in tends to see that the signs are left unmolested, and should the trouble makers continue their depredations. it is safe to say they will find themselves in serious straits, as a result.
 The state law specifically prohibits the destruction of road signs and provides heavy penalties for those who are found guilty of in any way nut Hating or destroying them. The penal code under Title XIV, dealing with Grimes Agalnst Property" under Chap ter XII section 569 says:
 Every person who malic- lously removes or injures any mile-board, post or stone or guide post or any inscription on such erected upon any high way is guilty of a Tnisdemea ean- or"
 Section 19 of the penal code makes misdemeanors punish able by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by fine not exceed ing $500 or by both.
 The officers of the club be- lieve that in view of the espec- tally clear wording of the law there will be no difficulty in se- curing convictions and heavy penalties in case of further violations. The full weight and influence of the organiz- ation will be thrown toward prompt and vigorous prosecution of all such cases.

Red Letter Night at the I. O. O. F. Hall, being Rebekah meet ing night, Bro. J. w. Lee was initiated into the Mysteries of the Rebekah degree, after which our District Deputy Bro. A. A. Foster with Sister Sim mons and the very able and eff ficient staff of supporters from Flagstaff, took charge of the Meeting. The Officers of both the Odd Fellows and the Rebeckah Lodges for the en- suing term were very impress sively installed. Fifteen peo- pie in all came down from Flagstaff to see that the work was put on in the proper way, and say, when you leave it to Bro. Foster, it's O. K. and the work is well done. Personal mention might also be made of Sister Allen, and Bro. Charles Lehr, who both did their work we'll and should have a mark of A plus on the credit slip. Then there was Miss Plum. Well, as an entertainer, she is a scream, from start to finish.
 And the eats, Say boy" Bro. Carpenters 50 pound pig soon vanished, even to the squeal, and I heard one Bro. say, "I don't think there was a person went away from the Hall with a grouch on." In fact we know that there was not, and any time that the Flagstaff folks can come down this way they will find right Royal Welcome.
 Bro. Tug McCarty has re- turned to the Logging camps.

LAPP PLEADS GUILTY
 ARIZ. PEN LOOKS GOOD

J. A. Lapp arrived in Will Hams last Friday and in the course of a few hours had written half dozen or more bad checks which he succeed ed in passing on various Will Hams business houses. He was soon in the custody of the law and when taken to the county jail quickly pied guilty to the charge of forgery. He will be sentenced soon and sent to the state prison
 MT. Lapp's eagerness to re-
 main a prisoner of the state of Arizona is explained by the fact that he is wanted in Cal ifornia on a number of charges. He insists that outside of run ming off with another mans wife, stealing automobile, being guilty of bigamy and of violat- ing the Mann Act, he was a very respectable citizen of Cal ifornia. The California au- thorities do not seem to agree with him in this regard.
 Upon his arrival in Williams, MT. Lapp went to the bank where he deposited a check on a California bank. After banking hours he went around to number of the local mer- chants and bought goods giving a check in payment. Each considerably larger than the cost of the goods purchased, so that he secured a large amount of change back in each case. At Rabbits he bought pair of shoes for six dollars and gave his check for S26 receiv- ing the twenty back in change.
 At Olson's he bought a hat for $5.5O giving his check for $25 in payment. At Johnson & McConkey he bought a stove for $15 asking that it be ship ped to Ash Fork. He gave a check for $35 in payment. At Rittenhouse he bought a leather vest. at Duffy's a shirt at Kennedy's a grip and at the Williams Drug store he bought a bottle of cough syrup, giving in each case a check that brought back some change
 In some way the suspicious of the merchants became aroused and when it was learn ed by comparing notes, that he had worked the same game at each of the stores suspicion turned to certainty of criminal intent and the man hunt begun. At about seven P. M. Marshal Burns ran onto the man just as he was preparing to enjoy a good feed at the Harvey House. He was placed in the city jail without being permitted to eat the meal he had ordered. He had upward of S7O in his pocket practically the entire amount that he had collected from Will Hams merchants. He also had the several articles of clothing which he had purchased, in his new grip. He was taken to Flagstaff the night of the same day and there he has since pied guilty to Forgery. In so doing he has cheated the Cal ifonia officers who were very anxious to have him sent back.
