TAYLOR INTERESTS

Geologist Harrison of Den yer is still in Northeastern Arizona area, continuing his geological investigations. On last Saturday he left for the Navajo country, intending to make an extensive jour- ney by way of Indian Wells, Steamboat, Chin Lee and Kayenta. Mir. Harrison is evidently doing a very thor ough piece of investigation of the country from Canyon Creek, seventy-five miles south of Holbrook to Kay enta, more than a hundred miles north.
 Dr. s. Earl Taylor return ed from his eastern trip which he states was most satisfactory and profitable. Important negotiations are now pending with reference to the future development of the Holbrook area and following his usual course, Dr. Taylor prefers not to make any announcement un- til his negotiations have reached a more definite stage. He indicates, how ever that everywhere he went in the East he found an increasing interest in the Holbrook field and ex. pressed himself as being more confident than ever that a period of big develop ment lies just ahead in this field.

INCREASE IN
 POPULATION

The population in our city is rapidly increasing and we are always glad to welcome newcomers. Even more than usually so, indeed, when they are introduced and vouched for by members of our own community.
 The very latest arrival was a husky young chap who put in his appearance, and ask ed for room and board at the Schuster residence.
 Mir. and Mrs. Arthur Schuster are both so good natured that they could not bear to turn such a hand some young stranger away from their door, so he was accommodated in a fashion that met with his entire ap- proval.
 Arthur was so fiattered by the advent of the young man that he passed the cigars to all and sundry whom he chanced to meet on Sunday. Somebody had good natured- ly told him that the handsome young chap looked like him! We were out of town so didn't get our share, but anyway we like chocolates better than smokes!
 To boil it all down--Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schuster are the proud parents of an nine pound boy, born Sat urday night. "Mother and son doing we'll"

TRAGEDY IN DURANGO

MT. David Wood, who will be remembered as the form CT secretary of Atty. Fergu- son wrote to the Rev. Speck this week detailing a tragedy which had occurred in his family. A portion of his letter follows:
 "Was called home this morning by the death of my oldest brother in Durango, Colorado. He was shot down there on Main street yesterday morning by anoth- CT newspaper man. The all tercation started over a pro- hibition fight which was be- ing waged by the two papers and resulted in the death of another good dry man.

CAPABLE AND
 COURTEOUS

While there have been one or two things done during Governor Campbell's admin istration with which we ean- not wholly concur, still his whole record while in office has been a good one.
 The Governor has shown himself to be a gentleman and what is more--a man. His courtesy while in a posi- tion of public trust, to one and all of his constituents has gone as far as anything else to prove the metal of the man. It is not always thus with state officials = and we could cite instances.
 It would be a great mis- take for the voters of Ari- zona to permit the Cover nor's retirement from public life, whether to succeed him. self or in some ether post important to the welfare of the state.

LriIlNC RESULTS

The County Attorneys off, flee of Navajo Co. applied to the Governor of Arizona for eXtradition papers for J. M. Reynolds, Guy L. Rogers, and J. E. Cox, on last Saturday, April the 22nd. The papers were grant ed the same day. These papers are in the already famous case of the defunct Holbrook State Bank.
 MT. Greer, the county at torney. has kept steadily at the matter of gaining this point, with unwearied vigor and pertinacity. He deser- yes great commendation for his vigilance and skill in bringing the affair to such a promising situation. Keep ing eternally as it finally brings results. What stand the New Mexico authorities will take in the matter re- mains to be seen.

VENUS HURLEY KILLED BY EXPLO- SION AT CAMP VERDE LAST FRIDAY
 Dynamite Ends Life of Young Woodruff Man

Tragedy again invaded the quiet confines of Woodruff when word was received there, late last week, of the death of Venus Hurley, a son of Mir. and Mrs. Hyrum Tur- ley of that place. This is the second Woodruff boy to meet with a violent death in the space of a few short weeks.
 MT. Hurley was about "A years of age and unmarried. The details of the accident are few. It is known that in company with Roland Tanner of St. Jo, he stayed behind to set off some charges of dynamite while the rest of the crew work ing on the Camp Verde High way, went to camp for din- ner.
 Part of the charges of dynamite exploded, but one fuse evidently burned very slowly. When the young man went back to see about it came within the radius of a delayed but terrific ex- plosion. This is a sad hap pening to his parents and many friends in Woodruff, and he will be greatly miss ed and long remembered in the home circle.
 The following clipping taken from the Verde Cop per Newsis self-explanatory.
 INJURIES FATAL
 Venus Hurley, the young highway employe who was injured last Friday after noon on the Camp Verde highway by a dynamite ex- plosion, died at the United Verde hosr ital shortly after the Verde News of that day had gone to press. The body was shipped on Saturday to Woodruff, Arizona, where his parents reside. The un- fortunate young man was almost literally blown to bits and there was never any real chance of saving his life owing especially to the amount of blood lost during the long trip from where the accident occurred, near Black Canyon, to the hospital.

FIRE AT k. X TANK

On last Friday evening the Santa F. staged a few fire works ,,n their own ac- count when the large red water tank beside the tracks west of town and near the old stock yards was destroy ed by fire.
 The fire originated among the heavy piling supporting the tank and in all probabi- lity was caused by some hobo's campfire. The tank presented a very spectacular sight with the flames swirl ing and pouring in concen- tric circles around the iron girt tank.
 The flames were partially extinguished when the water with which it had been filled the previous day. escaped. But this only retarded the fire and did not extinguish it. The tank will be a total loss.

NAVAJO INDIANS
 ARRAICNED MONDAY

Two young Navajo Ind ians who live near Indian Wells were arraigned in the Superior court Monday. They plead guilty to the statutory offence charged against them, but set up as defense a plea of ''innocence of the law" The court will provide them with an attorney who will see that they received a fair and inn partial trial.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF YOUNG GIRL
 Falls From Cliff Into River But Escapes

Little Helen Clare Tram mell narrowly escaped ln- stant death last Sunday when she fell from tn e rocky cliffs which overhang the Little Colorado River.
 MT. and Mrs. Caldwell, |, their son Junior, and daugh- ter Helen Clare, with the WE. Fergusons were pie nicing at the Cliff Dwellings southeast of town. MT. and Mrs. w. c. Ferguson and MT. and Mrs. Axline were also taking an outing in the same place.
 While the older people were getting lunch ready, the three little girls, Helen Clare Trammell and Doris and Violet Ferguson, went exploring. When about !2O yards from the older folks and out of sight the young sters started to climb the rocky lodges on the cliff side. Helen Clare was a. head. In climbing along she held to a piece of rock in the cliff side. It gave beneath her hands and she fell, head over heels, a dis tance of twenty-five feet into deep water.
 She sank twice, but on coming up for the third time managed to paddle 10 the bank. The bank itself was so high she was unable to get out and the other little girls ran screaming for help.
 Before he could get her out it was necessary for Mir. Caldwell to swim across the pool and Mrs. Caldwell as- sures us that the only com edy element in the whole affair was the number ot things that tioated out of his pockets and down the river as he swan across the pond fully clad.
 The young lady and Mir. Caldwell returned home i'm mediately for dry clothing. Helen Clare has suffered no more serious results than a skinned hand and a bruised leg. But it was a lucky es: cape. She wouldn't get off so easily again under the same circumstances once in a thousand years.

WILL WAR DEPARTMENT CHANGE ITS MANIFESTO

There seems to be a rumor current that the abandon ment of Ft. Apache may not be absolutely certain. The date for the removal has been set several times but has each time been countermanded and depart ure delayed.
 We were given to under stand that there have been several consultations be- tween nesters, cattle and sheep ranchers etc., who would be seriously affected by the removal of the troops, on the one hand and the military on the other, re- garding the advisability of this move.
 The last date set for the abandonment of the fort was on May, 5. We ca n only hope that the War De- pt. has seen fit to reconsid- CT its decision. Perhaps the memorials and peti- tions sent from this part of the state are at last bearing fruit.

CAME A LONG WAY
 TO GET CAUGHT

Dan Kile, erstwhile of Kansas City, travelled a long way to escape the clutches of the law. But he must have been reading Diamond Dick literature where there is no law west of the Rio Grande. "Them wuz good old days" But it's not so any more.
 Deputy Sheriff W. G. Kelly formed a reception commit tee to welcome the stranger in our midst. Few can get by a fellow with the name of Kelly. So to make the long trail of Dan Kyle into a short tale, the gentleman in question, accused of hay ing appropriated $2200 from a collector for a chain of grocery stores in K. c. was brought to Holbrook, waiv- ed extradition and will be sent back to Missouri. It may be the "Show-me" state, but we have the officers who can do it.
 Constable Ed. Gardner and w. G. Kelly also conveyed an Indian to the Holbrook jail this week. The Navajo was arraigned in Judge Sweeney's court on a statu- tory charge and bound over to the Superior court.

TRAVELLING OVERLAND
 RIGHT

MT. Stout who has been living near Pinedale for some time, passed through -Holbrook this last week. He was headed for south western Colorado, and was going by way of Durango. He was travelling with his sons and they were doing it in "the good old fashioned way", viz. by wagon and team. It will prove to be a rather long trip in this style of peregrinating.

the camp, filling the air with dense
clouds Of smoke. The camp, having
cleared ways on three sides, had not
been fire guarded. These should have
been wide enough to protect 1t under
, ordinary circumstances, and the work
that was being pushed had left no time
for anything else.
Backfiring was impossible, for the
wind came up the cleared road from
the muskeg with hurricane force. Will
ton posted his men along the near side
of the way, to beat out the patches Of
flame that would spring up from the
burning brands carried over 1t by the
wind.
The confiagration came roaring
down on them before many minutes
had passed. It seemed to gather force
as it advanced. The smoke was STU
fling. They could see one another
only dimly in the swirling fog.
The line of fire shot through the
cracking ferns and underground be-
fore them, and reached the edge OF
the cleared way. Then the workers
found themselves surrounded with
ring Of flame. The trees and grass
were alight behind them. And along
the muskeg edge the conf1agration had
thrust out gripping tentacles of flame
that edged round and in toward the
engine sheds.
Shouting to those nearest him to fol-
low, Wilton ran down toward the
swamp. But when the grade came
into sight he saw something that

CHAPTER XII
kidnapedl

Kidnapped!
Since Bowyer's last visit to tne
store Molly. had been making plans,
but, when these were made, she did
not dare to place them before the
factor.
; She knew that they could not long
remain at the portage. There was his
increasing infirmity; there was Tom
Bowyer's enmity-his hold over her
father, which was bringing him into
his grave.
Yet she feared one Of the factors
wild outbursts of rage If she renewed
her suggestion that they should go to
Winnipeg. On the other hand, gradu-
ally she began to believe that Melon
aid was forming plans of his own. II
that were so, In due time, and in his
own way, he would talk to her about
them.
Meanwhile she watched her father
anxiously. He still dragged his leg
as he walked, and the fear that was
always upon him now had made him
an old man within the past year. The
girls love for him, which her humilia-
ton at Bowyer's hands had never en-
tirely killed, burned up again after she
had broken with Wilton.
But she wondered constantly what
was the power that .Bowyer had over
her father. Had Mcdonald given her
any encouragement she would have
spoken to him, and begged for an un-
Outstanding that might remove the
cloud which hung over them both. But
the factor was more morose than ever.
especially when the winter trading
ended and time hung heavily upon
their hands.
The talk came ut last. Mcdonald
was in his chair upstairs, Molly read
ing to him. But the factor did not
seem to hear her; he was looking out
of the window and brooding as Of old.
Suddenly he turned to her.
"I'n thinking of leaving here before
winter, lass" he said.
Leaving here, father? For good?'
"For aye" he exploded. II thocht
I'd die here and be laid beside your
mother. And I've held on! God, how
I'VE held on! But I'm done with that
hope. Would We leave the portage,
Molly?" he asked wistfully.
Eyes, father! l wish we could. I
wish we could go somewhere together
where we'd never have cause to re-
member It,"
"Aye, never to remember It" he
echoed.
'"To Winnipeg?" she suggested tim

CHAPTER xl.
The ConHaqration.

The Conf7aeration.
"rm going back to work for you,
Mr. Phayre," Wilton had said when he
left the office. And he had meant 1t.
Without any further hope Of keeping
the line for Kitty. he resolved, for the
works sake, that the day when the
control passed into Bowyer's hands
should see the grade across Big Mus
keg.
He found the camp In much the
same condition as when he had left it.
Andersen reported that the men were
still getting liquor, and were stacking.
Wilton, whose mind had no room for
rival propositions at the same time,
dismissed the subject. He went
straight to bed. But he was aroused
by Andersen little after midnight.
There's big blaze couple of
miles north of us" said the foreman.
Sprung up like lightning. And
gales sweeping up the swamp. The
men won't turn out to backfire. They
say it's Saturday highland most OF
them are drunk"
Wilton put on hts clothes quickly,
placed Jules In charge of the shack
and hurried to the bunkhouses. The
workmen obeyed his summons with
slow sullenness. They were stupid
with drink. Some jeered; some refused
to turn out at all.
But some Of the engineers and fore
men were already hurrying to the
scene Wilton collected these and
started with them in the direction Of
the conflagration.
I This was soon seen to be serious.
Under the high wind the fire was
speeding down at terrific rate toward
