AUTOMOBILE RUNS OVER YUMA
 GIRL AND ONLY LEAVES BRUISE

Normal Adair, hurrying to reach the scene of a reported conflagration, was unable to miss Dorothy Dinkle, high school girl, who stepped in front of his car. The automobile passed completely over the girls body. Upon being stopped, Dean Haugheltin, who was riding with Adair, jumped out of the car and picked up the girl and carried her to the sidewalk, not know irg whether she was hurt or killed. The girl herself was too frightened to move, but after the reaction and scare had subsided, discovered that she had not been so much as touched by the car after she was struck down. A slight bruise where the car first struck her was all the injury sustained.

KU KLUX KHAN AT PRESCOTT

Visible to all Prescott except that part of the city in the lowlands, a fiery cross blazed on one of the ele- vations above Government canyon. From the moment the emblem became visible, inquiry followed inquiry as to its cause. Nobody seemed to know. A young man reported that friend had stumbled over it while walking in the hills. At that time, he said, the cross was lying down, but hole had been dug nearby so it could be erected. The cross was about 20 feet high and the upright and arms were wrapper in burlap, which had been wired and saturated with oil. The fiery cross on a hillside is an emblem used by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and it was thought likely that this cross, too, was intended to sig nalize some activity of that organi- zation.

sions about the business situation
have been general in character and
