COLES RETURNS TO HOLLY
WOOD AFTER VISIT IN BISBEE

Frank E. Coles, personal represen-
tative of Mrs. William H. Brophy,
who has been here and in Douglas for
the past two days on business con-
nected with her interests in this Sec
ton, left last night for his home in
Hollywood, California. Coles for a
number of years was connected with
the Phelps-Dodge store in Bisbee
when it was under the management of
the late w. H. Brophy. For the past
few years he has been making his
home in California. Last year he was
made manager of the Douglas-Brophy
interests in connection with their
lumber interests in the northern part
of the state in the vicinity of Cooley.
He was also made a director of the
Arizona Central Bank at Flagstaff,
which position he still holds.
Coles still owns property in the
Warren district. He expects to make
frequent visits to the city and dis
trict.-Bisbee Review.

KINGMAN IS TO BE
HEADQUARTERS FOR
SEN. R. H. CAMERON

Senator Ralph H. Cameron, accom-
panied by his son, Ralph, Jr., G. Hen
ry Stetson and F. c. Hesse, arrived
in Kingman last night. Senator Cam
eron informs US that it is his inten-
tion to make Kingman his headquar-
ters during the recess of congress-,
looking after his mining and other
affairs.
Senator Cameron and associates
have located large acreage of placer
claims in Black Canyon, on the Colo
RADIO river, and it is the purpose to
operate these claims. His associates
also have in view, should a permit be
granted, the building of a dam at
Boulder Canyon, in the event that the
government will not make provision
for the project. Observations have
been made through the two canyons
and during the past two years engin-
eers have been at work there for the
associates.
Kingman people will be pleased to
learn that Senator Cameron has con-
cluded to make this town his head
quarters and hope that he and asso-
ciates may find it to their advantage
to advance other investments in this
county.-Kingman Miner.

TRAMPS INFEST ROADS
LOOKING FOR A RIDE

The highways from Los Angeles
into Arizona are infested with tramps
who no longer are seeking the brake
beams. They hail autos, usually just
outside the towns, and ask for short
rides, though more than willing to go
on through.
At least two-thirds of the appeals
fall on deaf ears, for several desert
murders within the past year have
served to warn against the pleading
roadside stranger.
One arrival who came via Kingman,
tells of a man who jumped on the
running board and who had to be
ousted by violence.
One young fellow, with an inner
tube over his arm, hailed Congressman
Hayden just out of Blythe and asked
to be taken to a point near Ehrenberg,
where his wife and three small chill
dren were marooned in miserable
plight. Without word of thanks, the
passenger dropped off about ten miles
east of the ferry, beside car with two
young men loafing beside it. The wife
and children story had been told mere
~ to assure transportation.

TWO BADLY SCALDED
WHEN STILL EXPLODES

William Mcmahon was seriously
burned by an exploding still, and Joe
Hall is suffering severly from burns
Hall is suffering severely from burns
at an alleged distilling plant in Cot
tonwood.
The still is said to have exploded
when the two men fired it up too
heavily. The two men, according to
reports from Jerome, were running a
bath of mash, and the still was not
producing as much as they thought 1t
should.
They increased the fire by piling a
lot of kindling into the stove, and the
worm wasn't big enough to stand the
pressure. The apparatus blew up.
Mcmahon is said to have been hor-
ribly scalded over almost two-thirds
of his body. He was very well known
in the district.

EAGAR MAN VICTIM OF THE
BLACK SMALLPOX AT GALLUP

The sad news was wired from Gal
lup Thursday that Walter L. Robin
son, prominent rancher and stockman
of Round Valley, had died there of
black smallpox after a short illness.
Few particulars are known at this
time. But it seems Mr.. Robinson's
wife had gone to Gallup for an oper-
alton which was successfully perform
ed in a hospital there. She had re-
covered sufficiently to be able to leave
the hospital and her husband went to
Gallup to take her home. Gallup has
an epidemic of black smallpox, and
Mr.. Robinson contracted the disease
shortly after he reached there and
died at the end of three days of sick
ness.
He was a prominent citizen of
Eagar and held in high esteem by all.
His sudden death comes as a severe
shock to his neighbors and friends in
the valley. -- ST. Johns Observer.

DRUG STORE
ROBBED OF NARCOTICS

One-half an ounce of morphine, a
modest amount of cash, few checks
and an antiquated pistol, constituted
the loot taken from the Eagle drug
store, Cortez street, Prescott, by bur-
glars.
Entrance was made through back
door opening on a side alley by fore
ing the bar which was placed across
it. A hole large enough to admit the
hand and arm was bored in the door
leading into the prescription room,
permitting both the bolt and the key
to be turned easily
The morphine was kept in small
inconspicuous, wooden cabinet at one
side, and the cash box was hidden in
a bin containing flaxseed meal, as the
safe had in some manner been closed.
