on the floor.
"See, Hard as bullets" he said.
"Nobody will buy them, but Ma said

ACCUSED OF HORRIBLE
CRIME AGAINST CHILD

Roy Bowden of Williams, about %
years old, a cow-puncher, Is in coun-
ty Jail in Flagstaff under bonds Of
$4,000. The charge against him will,
If proven, likely land him in the state
penitentiary for 20 years or more.
Bowden is alleged to have taken a
six-vear-old girl, Adeline Davis, to a
hotel in Ashfork and left her there. He
claims her father took her there. The
little girls says she has no father, un-
less Bowden is, as far as she knows.
She had, it is alleged, been living In
Bowden's house for some time.
1t is alleged that the girl has been
found upon medical examination to be
afflicted with loathsome disease. 1t
is expected that she will be the prin-
cipal witness against Bowden.
Bowden was arrested on Tuesday,
brought here to Jail and yesterday al
ternoon taken back to Williams by
Under-sheriff S. o. Thompson, accom-
panied by County Attorney Frank
Harrison, for hearing before Justice
of the Peace Scotty McDougal of that
precinct. It was for preliminary ex-
animation. Justice McDougal, follow
ing the taking of some testimony,
bound Bowden over and he was
brought back here.

WEBER BROTHERS, NEW
COMERS, BUY FLAGSTAFF
GARAGE FROM DICKINSON

Kenneth and Orrin Webber of Roch-
ester, N. Y, are the new owners of
the building occupied by the Flagstaff
Garage and formerly owned by Alf
Dickinson & Son. The new proprietors
will take possession the first of the
year and it is understood will continue
to run an up-to-date garage in the
building.
The Webber family, consisting of
the parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Web
Der, and the two sons, recently came
here.
The property sold is at the north
east corner Of East Railroad avenue
and North Agassiz street, with 90
foot frontage on Railroad avenue, the
lots being 135 feet deep. Mr.. Dick
inson built the large garage building
occupying it in 1915. Both seller and
purchasers decline to say how much
was paid for the property.
Messrs. E. G. LaRue and John Win
chell, proprietors of the Flagstaff
garage business, are continuing it,
though it is likely they will sell it also
to the Webber brothers, in which case
it is hoped they will find another To-
cation here and not leave for another
state, as Mr.. LaRue intimates they
may do.

MAYOS' FOR OPERATION

Mrs. Dan Williams arrived home
from Rochester, Mimi, Tuesday morn
ing. She and Mr.. Williams had gone
there few weeks before, the latter
for consultation with the Mayo Bros.
Dan underwent numerous examina-
tions by different Mayo specialists.
They decided that he would have to
be given special treatment for about a
month, for his nerves, after which
they will operate. His trouble was the
breaking open Of the wound left by
an appendicitis operation he had near
ly a year ago. The doctors advised
him that with his nerves restored to
health and some skin grating on the
wound, they believe it will heal per-
manently.

NJ UGH F OR
JEROME HIGH

The Normal Lumberiacks invaded
Jerome Friday, November 16. After
a hearty feed and a good nights sleep
they felt fine for the game Saturday
afternoon. The fracas was played
on Clark field about town and attract
ed large crowd of Clarkdale pigskin
followers roofing for Normal.
This was one of the closest games
the Lumberjacks have played this sea-
son. The game was one-sided in the
first quarter in favor of the Normal
and pretty even in the second quarter.
The third quarter went TO Jerome the
first few minutes Of play when Peila
intercepted a forward pass and made
Jerome's only score. The rest of the
game was played in Jerome territory
and a few times the ball was very
near over the line. In the last few
minutes of play the Normal succeeded
in going over the goal line by contin-
ued line bucks.
First Quarter
Jerome kicked off and Normal
worked the ball back to her opponents
15-yard line where the hillside boys
held them for downs. Jerome kicked
on the first down and Heckathorne re-
turned the ball to the 35-yard line.
A successful forward pass, Hecka-
thorne to Camp, netted the remaining
35 yards for the first touchdown. The
place kick for goal was blocked.
Camp kicked across the goal line
but a Jerome man recovered the by
and came to his own five-yard line.
Failing to gain through the visitors
line, Jerome resorted to kicking. Nor
NAL made small gains through the
line and then Camp went around right
end for 20 yards and another touch
down. A forward pass for the extra
point was not completed.
