rather than for uttering the bogus
check or draft, for he asked that he
be allowed to enter plea of guilty.
He was given the privilege and the
papers relating to the case were at
once sent to Tucson, where the U. S.
grand jury is now in session. 1t is
believed here that L.angill, whom Rol-
Inns asserted was merely his hired
chauffeur, will fare more easily in the
u. S. court than Rollins will.
Mrs. Rollins told a Flagstaff man
something that she did not tell in her
deposition, namely, that while she was
in the bathroom in the Denver hotel
she heard one of the men ask the
other for the loan of his gun, saying
they were out of money and that he,
with the use of the gun, could get
some in few minutes. The other
man refused to stand for that.
The brides name in the wedding
certificate appears as Berry instead
of Bray. Langill, the chauffeur, who
at first was alleged to be named Dou-
bleday and to be an heir of the re-
Gently deceased publisher of that
name, later apparently forgot about
his alleged prominent relations.
Sheriff Campbell has sent finger
prints of both men away in the chance
that they may lead to further inter
esting development. 1t is likely the
two men will soon be turned over to
the federal officers.

Lee Carron, proprietor of the Car

staff, began this week sending daily
postal cards to Albuquerque, Las Lu-
mas and Socorro and other points adj
vising Of road and weather conditions
in Flagstaff and both east and west
of Flagstaff. On each card is the in
formation: "If any sudden weather
change makes roads impossible, !
will wire you, my expense. at once
This aggressive and public-spirit-
ed plan of Mr.. Carron's to broadcast
true road information will do much to
offset the misrepresentation above de-
scribed. This will be the first time
any real, permanent plan of this sort
has been used here. 1t will be bene-
fit to both Flagstaff and the tour
lists.
Flagstaff does not attempt to build
its trade by campaign of misrepres-
entation. In fact, it does not use the
facts available. If it did, you would
find the Flagstaff chamber of COM
merce during most of the year warn
ing tourists not to dare go south to
Phoenix because of the dangers of
sun-stroke, rattlesnake, gila monster,
tarantula and centipede bites, loss on
the burning desert, dysentery from
the alkaline water, and various other
things.

responsible for the tall yarns about
snow in Flagstaff then it is an organ

The Misses McMullen and Beck

Mrs. Verkamp, Miss Selma Aas,
Miss Elsa Myers, Miss Helen Will

Then came the "Style Show of 1924"

books, toys, pictures of the colored
print variety and particularly of the
work Of the children in the training

Every mother of Flagstaff" she

On Thursday morning at 1870 in

school children will produce part of

Winslow, which comes here Thanks

season to overwhelm the Lumberjacks.
Winslow has lost most of its letter

has had in recent years more or less
of a grip on the so-called northern
Arizona championship by virtue of its
victories over the Normalites. They

ship last year after the Lumberjacks
had stopped every team on its sched-

credit for the success of the drive
