WOMAN SCORNED CHARGES
LOVER WITH KNIGHT MURDER

The fury Of woman scorned, turn
ing love to deep, vengeful hatred, Is
the weapon that the state of Arizona
will use in it's attempt to convict G.
w. ssTudie" Mobile, Tom Tunstall, Es-
ther Lee Tunstall and Mrs. L. Smith
on charges placed against them al
leging they murdered John j. knight,
wealthy Texasoil man on July 9, 1921.
A fury, pent up through two years
Imprisonment in the state penitentl-
arv, a hatred bred from the charged
disloyaIty of her lover, an emotional
climax reached when conscience could
no longer be silenced-this IS what
greeted Tude Mobiles in the office OF
the district attorney last night when
his former sweetheart and cousin, Mrs.
Ruby o. Laub confronted him in the
most dramatic portrayal of an alleged
crime state officers have heard IN
years.
Grewsome, cruel, terrible, was the
tale related by Ruby Laub as she
sought a confession from the man she
charged with participating in the MUIR
der of Knight. Pleading, threatening,
tormenting, scorning the man that sat
white faced before her, she failed in
her purpose to wiring a confession
from him.

GRADE CROSSING PROBLEM
is SOLVED BY ARIZONANS

One highway construction problem
has been solved by the Arizona state
highway department, and publicity
has been given to Tucson in national
highway publication as a result. 1t
was done by construction OF a new
grade crossing on the Tucs0n-Nogales
highway, permitting smooth crossing
by vehicles at any speed. Says the
Highway Magazine, published at CHI
cago:
aThe problem Of designing
smooth : riding, enduring crossing
where a cement concrete highway
crosses a railroad at grade, which has
taxed highway engineers and con-
tractors, has been satisfactorily set
tied by the Arizona state highway de,
partment. The crossing as employed
on the Tucson Nogales state highway
embraces steel railroad rails placed
parallel to the railroad tracks and on
the outside for approximately Il
inches. The rails are placed ball uT
and the interstices filled with con
crete, making crossing providing
smooth riding at any speed"

BACKS THE PROPOSED
new GAME LAWS

The greatest and most difficult step
toward sane methods of game preser-
walton in Arizona has been taken.
An organization, the members rep
resenting every part OF the state and
every walk of life, has been formed.
The work of the organization has been
outlined and a start has been made
toward attaining the ends for which
the organization was formed.
The Arizona Game Protective as
sociation, organized at Flagstaff this
week, has a definite mission-the
preservation of game.
The most important thing done az
the meeting was the appointing of a
committee to draw up a new set of
state game laws. The present laws
are inadequate and, while they apply
beneficiaIly to some parts OF the state,
they are not good for other parts.
Men who have studied the situation
from the standpoint of sportsmen and
students of natural history will draw
up the new code. They will devise
tentative laws that will protect the
animals fully without putting an end
to hunting.
Special attention will be paid to
laws that insure increase OF game and
prevent the animals being killed dur
ing breeding season. This phase OF
the game code is by far the most I'M
portant.
Laws that will enable the game
warden to do his duty and laws that
will protect the sportsmen from an
unjust Interpretation of the statutes
viii be drawn up. This is important,
as game preservation depends to some
extent on a spirit of cooperation be-
tween the sportsmen and the game
wardens.
One Of the points to be stressed by
the protective organization will be
closer cooperation with the state
game warden and his deputies. Ef-
forts will be made to secure the ar
rest of the men who, by unsportsman-
like methods, kill more game than
they can use, or who kill 1t for COM
mercial purposes, and to apprehend
the men who do not discriminate be-
tween male and female and kill re-
gardless of breeding season.
The creation of game refugees ls
planned as another activity. The ref
uQes will be selected by members OF
the association in each community.
and spots that will offer the greatest
safety to animals will be picked. II
will be part of the work Of the organ
ization to see that these refugees are
not invaded by hunters.
The Star has taken the stand in the
past that the preservation of wild
game is Of utmost Importance to Ar
zona. It will continue to take thai
stand and will stand back of the new
organization in its work Tucsoi

FLOOD DAMAGE AT HOLBROOK
is NOW ESTIMATED AT $4,000

Estimate is made that the damage
from flood in Holbrook will approx
mate $4,000. The work of rebali-
itation of the flooded district proceeds
rapidly. In several stores it was
found necessary to use horse-drawn
scrapers to get out mud deposited by
three feet of standing water.
At least $4,000 will be needed to
replace the dam by which the St.
Joseph farmers have been getting ir-
rigafion water from the Little Colo
rado. The burden on the small COM
rnunity is a heavy one, with consider
alton that the same district within
about 80 years has lost about SIX 9TH
er dams in the rivers floods.
Eight automobiles are reported to
have been carried downstream by the
flood, mainly machines that had been
stuck in the sands of washes that led
to the river.
Hail did much damage to crops at
Snowflake, 80 miles to the south, and
the roof of a store was torn off by
the wind. The precipitation for
single day there measured four inches

COURT DIsMISsEs SUIT AGAINST
THE C. AND A. MINING COMPANY

A legal battle between the Calumet
and Arizona Mining company and the
two daughters of Patrick Cunning
ham, Arizona pioneer, with 100000
900 worth of property as the stake,
was ended when an order of dismis-
sal of the case was recorded IN the
United States clerks office at Tue
son. The Calumet and. Arizona COM
pany is believed to have won the case
out of court.
Suit is between heirs of Patrick
Cunningham, former half owner OF
the G. and A. mining properties at
Bisbee. The heirs, two girls, allege
that they are entitled to half the div
idends and half the stock of the Y.
and A. company for the past 20 years.
Dividends alone total more than S55,-
100000.
The case was settled out of court,
the girls getting $150,000 cash, it is
believed, and other valuable consider
ations. Had they won they would
have control of mining property val
ued at more than S100,00O,0O0.

BOULDER AND GLENN CANYONS
AS DAMSITE TO BE DETERMINED
BY FLOW OF COLORADO RIVER

Whether Boulder Canyon or Glenn
Canyon is best adapted as damsite
for store of flood waters in q scheme
of Colorado river flood control and
power development, may be determln-
ed by records tracing the flow OF the
Little Colorado river after 1t has emp
tied its waters into the Colorado, ac-
cording to Roger G. Rice, district en-
gineer for the United States geolog-
ical survey.
Two parties, one favoring Boulder
Canyon to control the Little Colora-
dos inflow in the Colorado, and the
other, favoring Glenn Canyon and de-
claring that the inflow from the Little
Colorado flattens out sufficient in its
course down the Colorado not to en-
danger the Palo Verde, Imperial and
other valleys, are opposed as to the
best location for damsite.
Records tracing the course OF the
Little Colorado flow waters, as well
as those of other minor tributary
