JAMESON HABEAS CORPUS
ARGUMENT ON TO-DAY

Judge Richard Lamson of Prescott,
who was to have been here yesterday
to hear the argument in the attempt
to get Fred Janison out Of the county
jail on a writ of habeas corpus sent
word that he wouldn't be here until
today. Jamison is the fellow who sold
stock in the defunct Pacific League
Cooperative Stores with the under
standing that one of the stores would
be installed in Flagstaff. Sheriff Bill
Iy Campbell intimates that while he
was on the coast last week he got a
lot of new dope on Jamison that will
hinder somewhat the granting of free
dom on the habeas corpus proposition.
Jamison, it will be remembered, was
sentenced to the state penitentiary,
but was held in Jail here on a writ
of probable error.

JUST PAROLED FROM
STATE PRISON HE'S
AGAIN in TROUBLE

Nicandro Losano, who was sentenc-
ed a year or so ago by Judge j. y.
Jones of the superior court of this
county to serve from to 5 years In
the state penitentiary for being GUS
todian after the stealing of Earl Ger
many's fur overcoat, and who was par
oled few weeks ago, is again IN
trouble.
Flagstaff City Marshal R. L. Neili
had long been suspicious that Losano
was mixed UP in a robbery of a Santa
Fe freight car that took place before
he was arrested for stealing the over
coat. Several hundred pairs Of shoes
were stolen from the freight car.
Neill found it convenient to loiter
around after dark near Losano's house
after the latter got home from the
state pen. The other night he found
that Losano was carrying in lot OF
wood for his wife. Neill knew that
I.osano had never been in the habit
of waiting on his wife. Anyhow, any
man who doesn't make his wife carry
in the wood will bear watching, won't
he?
Just so!
Monday morning Nelll collared Lo-
sano down town and asked him where
he kept his stock of shoes. Losano
finally admitted he had a few extra
pairs, which he said had been sold him.
A search under the wood in his house
disclosed dozen pair there. Now a
search is being made for the cache
where the rest are stored.
Losano is the fellow who, before his
trial, told the sheriff's officers that
he killed a man in the rear of the
Piper pool hall several years ago and
threw the knife he did the job with
onto the roof of the building. Inves-
tigation showed there was nothing to
the story.
Yesterday the sheriff received word
from the warden Of the penitentiary
to bring Losano back there to finish
out his term. The. county officials
feel sorry for the old man. At his
trial he plead guilty to receiving the
overcoat from two Mexicans. The lat
ter fought the charge OF grand lar
ceny and their attorney, Frank Har-
rison, won the fight. Losano's wife
is blind.

FRANK GOODMAN LEAVES TO
TAKE STATE ENGINEER JOB

Frank R. Goodman, state engineer,
left Saturday evening for Phoenix to
be on hand Monday to take over the
state highway department from the
outgoing administration. Mrs. Good
man will leave for Phoenix as soon
as arrangements are made for their
new home there.
While Frank has always been con-
sistent democrat, he has given the
major part of his time to his work
as an engineer and has much more
pride in his accomplishments along
that line than in his political beliefs.
His friends realize that he is taking
on a mans size job, but are confident
that he will make good. my sole
ambition in taking up the great work
done by my predecessor IS to carry II
on in the best interest of all and at
the least expense possible. | have nc
wonderful new ideas to try out but
hope to administer the affairs OF the
office in such a manner as to meet
with the approval of the whole people
of the state" declared Goodman.

MR.. AND MRS. CLAUDE
BLACK LOSE LITTLE SON

The sad news arrived here Wednes-
day morning of the death the night
before of little Jimmie, one of the
pretty little two-year-old twins OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Black.
Mr.. Black recently purchased the
Sedona ranch of the late Frank Spear
and Mrs. Black and the twins, who
had been in California for several
months, returned about a month ago
to their new home. The little chap
had double penumonia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Black and the twins
lived in Flagstaff much of the time
since their birth and the little boy
and girl were especial pets of hun
dreds of Flagstaff people, who will
learn with deep regret that the par
ents were not privileged to keep them
both.
Mr.. Blacks father, George Black,
Sr. and sister, Mrs. Mary Davis, came
on Wednesday from their home in Los
Angeles, and returned with the par
ents and the remains to California,
where interment will be made today.
George Black, Jr., drove to Ashfork
yesterday to meet the funeral party.

WATER COMMISSION GRANTS
POWER DAM PERMIT TO GRAND

The first development project on
the Colorado diver was Initiated yes
terday when James B. Girand, Phoe-
nix engineer, obtained a state water
commission permit from Commission
er w. S. Norviel to construct a power
dam on the river at the mouth of Dia-
mond Creek. A $10,0S5 fee was paid
for the permit, which allows Mr.. Gil
dand to develop up to 10000 horse
power units of electrical energy on
the river at this point.
Mr.. Girand has filed with the COM
missioner an assignment of the per-
nit to the Colorado River Engineer
ing and Development company, form
ed for the purpose of erecting and op-
Grating the power project, which will
entail financial outlay of $40,000,-
900.
The state permit granted the en-
gineer by the water commission also
conforms to all deman ds Of the COM
pact signed recently by the Colorado
River Commission at its Santa Fe
conference. The feder al power COM
mission requested the river commits
sion to direct that all power permits
for development on the river conforms
to the pact and the commission adopt
ed a resolution to that effect.
Two years will be required from
the time the federal power permit is
granted for the construction of the
dam which is to be 200 feet high and
built of concrete of sufficient strength
to meet the force of the river in flood
time. The power house location will
| be the mesa in Diamond Greek near
the mouth of the stream. A series OF
tunnels will be the method employed
i to develop the power bored through
the point of land formed by the river
and Diamond Creek.

FIND INCIPIENT
BRANDY UNDER FLOOR

When Fred v. Plomteaux, of Cliffs,
gets back from Santa Fe, where he
went a few days ago on vacation, he
will find that the sanctity of his dom
icile has been badly tampered with
and its parfum de fascination remov-
ed.
Because Under-sheriff Sam Thomp-
son, Deputy Billy Rudd and City
Marshal r. L. Neill and Forest Su-
pervisor Ed Miller went out to Cliffs
on Wednesday and called on Plom-
teaux in his absence.
A neat little trap door led into a
hole underneath the floor. Here was
a barrel of peach mash, with a couple
of lanterns and lot Of horse manure
to keep it warm, sizzly and properly
stinky. Also the house had been bank
ed with dirt to add to the comfort
of the mash.

WOULDN'T THE OTHER
LIQUID RUN THE CAR?

Sunday afternoon as Deputy Sheriff
Billy Rudd was driving in on the west
road near Billy Beeson's ranch, he
came up with a car that had run out
of gasoline. Joe Samsky and Burr
Kelly were with the stalled car. Mr..
Rudd, stopping to help, discovered
that there was a quantity of liquid
in the car which after perfunctory
examination he, even with his lack of
experience as an analyst, decided was
hooch.
SO Billy came along in, bringing the
liquid, about five gallons in all. Then,
with warrants, he went back after the
men. Mr.. Kelly had moved away from
there, but Mr.. Sansky still fingered
and was brought in. Next morning
Mr.. Kelly was found here in town.
The latter is still at the county Jail.
Mr.. Samsky was released on $500
bond. Two charges were filed against
each, manufacture of Intoxicating liq-
uor, and transportation of that same.

There are still bright hopes that
the Oak Creek link in the north and
south highway may be built with the
aid of Forest Service funds through
congressional appropriation though
the original appropriation be cut to
$3,000,0OO
The spontaneous protest against the
cut from all over Arizona seems to
have had good effect. |. B. Koch,
president of the Flagstaff Rotary
club, one of the civic bodies which
made vigorous protest, received the
following letter from Congressman
Hayden:
"I have your letter of December II,

The new Sar automobile, which has
been the talk of the automobile world
for the last year, will be seen here
for the first time next week, when
Wilson & Coffin, agents for the Du-
rant and Star cars, will get their first
shipment of six Stars.
They expect them here on Wednes-
day, as they were shipped from the
factory at Oakland, California, on the

say it is a beauty and an awful lot
Of good car for the money. Wilson &
Coffin have already booked several
orders and expect soon to have scores
of owners here. The first shipment
will be of touring models only, though
the company makes roadster, coupe,
sedan, station wagon and delivery

Coffin extend general invitation to
come to their store and see the new
car and have a demonstration.
