falling rock and precipitated into the
shaft, falling about $50 feet. His
neck was broken, great cash cut IN
his head and his body bruised and
broken. Death must have been in

HOW TO TEMPER AN
INDIAN HUSBAND

If your father wants to fight your
mother, grab hold Of him and hold him
in the fire.
Acting under this benign interpre-
tation of peacemaking, Garland Yule,
20-year-old Apache Indian, took fore
ible possession of his dad, known as
S. B. 80 at the Globe Indian camp
and held his right arm and leg IN the
fire with the result that the skin OF
both limbs was burned. .
Deputy Sheriff Emmet Cox brought
the paif to the county jail to answer
charges of fighting. 1t is said that
the father was under the influence OF
liquor at the time. The fire story is
vouched for by both participants. The
father does not appear to be serious

OH DEAR! NO DEER!

Speaking Of game down st. Johns
way, Editor Montross says in the OBJ
server:
Deer and turkeys come off the
mountains to feed on their grain
fields, but they are merely shooed off
once in while by the busy ranch
men. The deer get out of sight when
"tenderfeet" from town come around
not because they are fraid of get
ting hurt, but because they dislike
hearing them shoot so much when
they get lost"

BISBEE HUNTER OCCUPIES
TREE WITH MOUNTAIN LION

Dave Foster has returned from a
hunting trip into the Chiricahua noun
tains to tell of an. uncomfortable ex-
perience which occurred when he and
a mountain lion for few minutes
occupied the same tree.
Just why Foster climbed is not
clear, but the lion arrived soon there
after, driven by the dogs Of Ernest
Lee, who was toiling up the hillside
behind.
Lee shot and killed the lion before it
had started any argument with Fos-
ter over tenancy rights. 1t measured
eight feet six inches.

would have gone over our boats. No

Mr.. Kolb wrote further that the
flood, plus the frequent side canyons
which also have to be surveyed, have
delayed progress so that the party
will likely not reach Needles before
October II or 18. There is stretch
of dangerous rapids below Diamond
Greek that still has to be shot, then
the going will be much easier. At
Grand Wash, Arizona, $50 miles from
the starting point at Lees Ferry, the
survey will tie onto one previously
made, and the work will be done.
Roger Birdseye wired that the par
ty would stay at Diamond Greek a
couple of days, so they likely resumed
their. voyage Yesterday.

DERIVATION OF "ARIZONAr
is SOLVED BY HISTORIANS

Arizona means ''Iittle springs"
This is the official opinion of Major
George H. Kelly. state historian, af-
ter an exhaustive study of all the
various theories advanced by students
of early history and savage tongues.
The derivation of the states name,
which for many years has been a sub
ject of profound discussion and con-
troversy has been settled at last in a
lette from the state historian to Miss
Mary Maxfield Of the Granite school
district of Utah. The letter reads:
"Your letter of the 21st inst, as to
how the name of Arizona originated,
addressed to the secretary Of state,
has been handed to this office for re-
ply.
ARIZONA is derived from 'Arizonac,
so called by the Papago or Pima In
dians-the two languages being prac-
tically one and the same meaning
little spring. 1t was called Arizona
by the Spaniards at least as early as
1876, and must have been known to
the Indians by their name of Arizonac
for probably many years prior to that
date, how many, no one may say. 'Ari'
means small and tzonac, spring"

said we should lose no opportunity in
making them feel at home here. He
strongly advised us to institute and
keep, up annual Indian celebrations,
which, as well as the movies, would
be the source of great attraction to
people from elsewhere and valuable
advertising for the town.
Tom Mccullough, newly-elected
president of the newly-organized Ari-
zona Game Protective association,
briefly outlined the policies of the as
sociation, which include revision of
the state game code and submission
of the revision to the voters in a ref
