LOCAL LINE HAS \ NEW RECORD
 FOR BUSINESS

The largest volume of business ever handled in a single day over the Ash Fork to Phoenix line of the Santa Fe was handled last Sunday, according to c. E. Cummings, chief dispatcher at the local offices. Six hundred and fifteen cars of freight were hauled over the local line that day, Cummings said, adding that the ordinary days volume of business is from 155 to 200 cars.
 While much of the present increase in business, Cummings said, is trace able to large incoming shipments from California for Towhy Brothers, southern Arizona highway contrac- tors, who are shipping in carload after carload of cement and other material and equipment for highway construction in the south, a good proportion of it is increased business legitimately belonging to the local division
 A certain amount of the increased business also, according to the chief dispatcher, arises from the fact that some shipments are being routed from the mainline, where double tracking is at present going forward, via Ash Fork, Wickenburg and Parker and thence over the southern route to and from California. Never theless, an appreciable increase in local business plays its part in the enlarged volume of traffic.

 AND KEPT THE BADGE
(F.rom Saturdays DalIy)

Patrick Michael O'Brien of Selig- man was free to return to that hos pitable town yesterday following his interview with the county attorney and the explanation of his deputy sheriff's badge
 Arrested on charge of imper- sonating an officer and under com mittment for a felony, O'Brien was brought down from the mainline town and added to the inhabitants of the county jail That was before he had made it clear what his idea was in having a deputy sheriff's badge pinned to his shirt sleeve.
 O'Brien explaintd that he had been the deputy sheriff' in a local talent play, and the badge was one of the properties of the role He then had sported it among some of his friends as a joke, but had never used the au- thority it conferred for any ulterior purpose. That being made clear, the county attorneys office ordered his release.

RESUME AND WHAT
 IS AHEAD IN THE
 IVER ENGE MURDER
From Fridays Daily)

In the vortex of searches, arrests, Investigations and trials that started whirling about Yavapai county when someone struck Iver Enge over the head and dragged him into the gulch near the Midnight Test mine road, there is left at this time much ill retrospect and in the future, two court actions.
 Tie Enge murder has resulted thus far in the arrest of William Acker and his trial and conviction and sen tence to death; ill the arrest, trial and acquitta1 of Thomas w. Burge and in the arrest of D. o. Dunn on a charge of attempted bribery of wit ness.
 For Acker there is an appeal pend ling ill the state supreme court For Dunn, thc courts will begin turning possibly this morning, when the i bribery case was scheduled to come on regularly in the present jury term.
 Iver Enge was found and brought to Prescott OH Monday afternoon, June F, last He was so badly in- jured that he could not use his lips to speak, and remained mute so far as all usual communication is con cerned, until he died on July F. On Tuesday afternoon, reporter for the Journal Miner came across a pre- scription drawn on a Fort Whipple blank for "Engc, Ivcr, employe" and within few minutes, NJ. P. Ma honey, personnel officer at the post, had been called in and had verified the identity of the injured man.
 Enges ownership oi Ford tour ing car was learned and with this to work on, Yavapai and Maricopa county officers began a search that led almost at once to cutting the trail of Burge and Acker at Phoenix. This trail was followed to Beaumont, Tex, ! Yuma, Ariz., and Los Angeles, Calif. and resulted i'll the arrest of the two men.
 Acker made no personal defense when his case came to trial, but was quoted by the officers as having made statements admitting that he and Burgc had gone to the Midnight Test road with Engc and had come back without him, but in possession of his car. Burge, he stated, was the ore who had wielded the blackjack with which Enge was knocked down.
 Burge, however, did take the wit ness stand and denied these stories. The prosecution then placed Acker on the stand, his first appearance in either trial, to rebut the Burgc de- ifense.

 SHOWN IN SANTA E
 RAILROAD BOOKLET
Industries and Exceptional Weather of This County Detailed in Ari-
 zona Tourist Pamphlet
(t,rom Tnursday.s palIyl

 SAYS DR. FLYNN
Now That Another Year Has Come Around, It Is Timely, Says Physician, to Point Out Work of Community Nurse.
(From FrIoay's DaiIyl

"The committee of the anti-tuber- culosis association having in charge the sale of the Christmas seals for the year 1922 fulfilled its promise to the citizens of Prescott and vicinity in giving the community nurse to this locality" declared Dr. John W. Finn, chairman for the county sale. Tt IS now up to the citizenship to show their appreciation of this splen- did work by purchasing seals sui ficient to maintain this work for another year.
 If the citizens of this city realized the wonderful work which has been done by Miss Beagin, the seal sale would go over big. In fact it must go over twice that of 1922, if we are to make certain of the services of the community nurse for 1923 and it IS up to each of us" said Dr. R. N. Lconey, city chairman of the seal sale, Ito see to it that every piece of mail leaving the postoffice bears the official Christmas seal. It IS an honor to receive a letter with such a seal No other Christmas emblem brings with it an assurance of real service to humanity as does the little official Christmas seal, beautiful in design as well as useful in purpose. y

JURY ASKS INSTRUCTIONS

At noon the jury entered the court room and through C. A. Peter, its foreman, requested enlightenment on some of the instructions. This was given, and the jury again retired, but Tot to deliberate, just then A turkey dinner had been prepared at a local restaurant for them.
 A SMALL CROWD
 Shortly after 4:15, it became cur rent gossip in the corridors that the Burge jury had reached its verdict, and a few spectators had gathered Judge Sweeney was in his office, and he had the court assembled.
 ]. H. Morgan, counsel for Mir Burge, sent the two young sons of the defendant out of the court room, and with Mrs. Ethel B. Steidley, Burgess sister, awaited the arrival of the jury. pr. Lee Howard remained in the court room near Mrs. Steidley, who had spent the day in prayer for her brothers acquittal
 The jury filed in and took its seats at 4:57, and Judge Sweeney mounted to the bench moment later When he requested the verdict, Mr. Peter arose and read:
 We, the jury, duly empaneled and sworn in the above entitled cause, upon our oaths, do find the defend ant not guilty!"
 "OH, THANK GODm
 Mrs. Steidley rushed to Burgess arms. She embraced her brother, who had remained standing during the reading of the verdict She reach ed out and patted the shoulder of Mr. Morgan, who stood up with Burge.
 Before the court had begun enter ing the orders that later resulted ill the release of the defendant, Mrs. Steidley ran swiftly from the court room, crying:
 "Oh, isn't it wondcrfull
 She went to the telegraph office and wired to her mother that Burge had been acquitted and that they would all "come home at once" she said later.
 The two youngsters, who have at tended every session of the Burge trial, and who appeared to know that their fathers freedom depended on this case, but to whom the solemnity of the proceedings had apparently not come, swarmed over the man who had been saved from the gal lows and embraced him with rough joy. They declared they were going back home to Louisiana with him, and that their mother, Burge's for mer wife, and "her husband" would probably also go.
 After the emotional excitement of the moment had run down, Burgc, who descended to the sheriif's office to obtain his formal release, began gathering up some of his clothing and effects, much of which had been made exhibits i'll the trial He want ed to gather all of his things to- gethcr, including the famous black suit case. But Mr. Morgan dissuaded him, advising him to wait until the next day to make these preparations for departure
 Burge said he never had any scr ious doubt of the outcome, that he was innocent and had confidence the trial would vindicate him. Mr. Nor gan also expressed this state of mind and accepted many congratulations for the energetic fight he and Mir O'Sullivan had won in this case.
