frankly that he was looking for oil
and hoped to drill on her land.
I'D like lease option from you"
he went on. ~ don't want to buy your
land at all: what want is a right to
drill for oil on it, in case any shows
up on Miss Ledanois' land. It's all a
gamble, you know. I'll give you a
hundred dollars for the lease, and the
usual eighth interest in any oil that's
found. I've no lease blanks with me,
but if you'll give me the option. a
signed memorandum will be entirely
sufficient"
The farmer regarded oil as joke,
and said so. The hundred dollars,
however, and the prospective eighth
interest, were sufficient to induce him
to part with the option without any
delay. He was only too glad to get
the thing done with at once, and to
pocket Gramonts money.
Gralnont drove away, and was just
coming to the Ledanois drive when he
suddenly threw on the brakes and
halted the car, listening. From some
where ahead of him-the Gumberts
place, he thought instantly-echoed
shot, and several faint shouts. Then

Gramont paused, indecisive. The
sheriff was making an arrest, he
thought. A hundred possibilities fit

that. when he lay there by the rivu-

words uttered by the sheriff that Cha

that moment-a noiseiess, deadly stab!
That Hammond could or would have
done it he knew was absurd. ;.>t,s'g 81
They found the murdered man lying

they bore it back to the barn.
"Now," said Gramont, quickly I'm

road! You men will be right along?"

Gramont climbed into his car and
drove away. He had no fear Of any
thing happening to Hammond; the
evidence against the latter was damn

into a hangman's moose, they would
bring him % Jail safe enough.

Then, on foot, he made. his way along

get a view Of the Gumberts land. He

FLAG. HI SMOTHERED
Big score made by locals un- equaled by boys from "top Q the world".

The boys basket ball game of last week end proved to be one of the easiest for the Will Hams High five of the present season, when they trounced the boys from Emerson High by a score of 2S to 10. Emerson however, has a good alibi as this is the first year the boys have taken any part in the great indoor winter sport, they have only a two year school to pick from and they have no indoor court on which to practice. In spite of these handicaps Coach McVey has quite a fast, clean playing bunch of good sports and the game was not as slow as the score might indicate.
 The next game on the home schedule is with the Normal February "A. This will be the hardest fought fricasee of the season as the collegians out weigh the high boys by several pounds and seem to be of the opinion that our "Pony Ex- press" is not in their class. Re venge is always sweet. Re- member the date February 24!

POTATO DEALERS TO BUY
 FLAGSTAFF CROP

For the first time in the his tory of the industry, the entire Flagsaff potato crop will be
 handled this year by Arizona wholesalers. This striking ex- ample of the success of the "Use Arizona Products" campaign of the Arizona Industrial Congress was announced yesterday at 1 headquarters of the organizat- ion.
 Wholesalers of the state have not made any definite agree ment as to handling the Flag staff potato crop, but many of the leading firms have arranged to use the Arizona potatoes to the extent of their capacity, which means practically the whole crop. The growers in return have guaranteed to grade their product to conform to the quality of potatoes ship ped in, and to sell at the market price.
 The bulk of the northern crop will be absorbed in the Salt River Valley, but quantities of the potatoes will go to other parts of the state. The John F. Barker Produce company has undertaken to use at least 60 cars of standard grade, and the Arizona Grocery, another large wholesale house, will handle nearly as many.
 The potato growers of Co., conino county, like farmers everywhere, have been handi- capped in the past by lack of a marketing system. Their product was not graded, and could not compete successfully with standardized-quality po- tatoes shipped in from other states.
 Recently, however, the grow CTS took steps to remedy this situation. The Coconino Farm Bureau Marketing association was organized with more than 60 members, about 60 per cent of the total numbers of growers.

"THE FOUR HORSEMEN
 OF THE APOCALYSPE"

''The Four Horsemen of the Apocalyspe", Metros million dollar visualization of the wide ly read novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez, will be the attraction at the Sultana Theatre next Thursday, it is announced by Manager R. M. Reese of the popular local playhouse.
 In bringing ''The Four Horse men" to Williams, Manager Reese is confident he has secur- ed the greatest motion picture ever produced, as Yale College The Literary Digest, American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Amercan Legion, press, pulpit and public the country over have unanimously classed it as the screens crowning achieve ment.
 More than 13,OOO people, in cluding 50 of the screens fore most stars, headed by Rudolph Valentino and Alice Terry in terpret the various characters of the book. So realistically has the book been transplanted to the screen, it is declared by those who have seen this multi reel spectacle, that the char acters literally step forth from their leather binding, and live, rather than act, the parts. Every incident of the story, from the night life of Julio in the Argentine dives, down to the puppy love" affair of Rene and Chichi are re-enacted on the screen exactly as it was de- scribed in the book.
 Drama, comedy, pathos, heart interest, suspense, thrills and action make "The Four Horsemen" a perfect picture for the masses and the class es-a cinema gem that will live forever. Sets and ensembles that have never before been at tempted in motion pictures a. bound in this twentieth century masterpiece, while from the standpoints of direction, acting, continuity and photography it is perfected to the nth degree.
 "The Four Horsemen" is a M Metro-Rex Ingram production and road show attraction. It will be screened but once in at the Sultana theatre next Thursday evening, at eight o'clock sharp.

HAY WANTEDi Wish to trade a horse or COW for some good hay. H. c. SANDERS. St.

L. w. Cureton, business mana ger of the association and sec retary-treaSurer of the farm bureau, came to Phoenix the first of last November and set about creating a demand for the Northern potatoes. At the same time the growers began to grade their crop, with the result that housewives have found Arizona potatoes now are aQual
 to any they can obtain, and in many respects superior.
 Between the efforts of the
 marketing association and the "Use Arizona Products" move
 ment of the Industrial Congress
 Flagstaff potatoes have come
 nto public favor, and whole
 salers of the state have been
 quick to cooperate by arrang-
 ing to handle them to the limit
 of their capacity. Thus
 great stride has been made to-
 ward the time when Arizonians
 will use the products of their
 own state exclusively, finding
 qua lity and price equal to any.
 Present freight rates make the Maricopa county market even more favorable to the Co., conino growers in disposing of their crop, but the farmers now are going after the entire state market. The 1922 crop will be about 300 cars, if the season is good. and there is no reason why all potatoes used in the state are not raised in Arizona, as the northern district alone eventually can supply more than 1000 cars a year Incl dently, the northern season does not conflict with that here and in other parts of the state 1 where potatoes are grown, so people of the state can find a continuous supply at home.

ROY NAGnLER BAGS
 16 FEET OF LION

One of the men who engaged in the winter sport of lion hunt ing during the recent snow, was Row NagiIIer, of Red Lake Val lev. He put in two days hunt ing the animals and bagged a total of 16 feet of lion.
 The first days hunt took place on Thursday. The dogs caught the trail of a lion down in the Hobble Tanks country at about 900 a. m. They jump ed the cat a little over an hour later and treed the animal after about an hours run. Mir. Nagiller came up and shot the lion out of a tree and the dogs quickly finished her.
 This lion proved to be a female with kittens and measur- ed ' feet and 8 inches.
 The following day MT. Nagil- Ter hunted in approximately the same locality. At about Il zoo a. m. the dogs caught the trail of what promised to be a really large puss. They followed the trail for about two and half hours before jumping the cat and it took them two and half hours longer to put him up a tree. MT. Nagiller came up, shot the cat out of the tree and the dogs soon finished him altho he was big one.
 This second lion was male and measured 9 feet even.
 The dogs which MT. Nagiller used were thoroughbred hound bought from MT. Hoch- graef; an airdale and collie. MT. Nagiller is delighted with the work done by the hound. Altho this was the first time the dog had been used to hunt lion, it caught the trail and held it like veteran, leading the chase all the way.
 MT. Nagiller is having the belts mounted by Claude Ross, at Ash Fork.
