According to an engineer in the In
dian service the establishment Of a
Navajo school at Fort Apache has
been met with a,deeree Of resentment
among the surrounding White noun
tain Apaches, who claim that their
children as yet are poorly furnished
with school Accommodations, while the
Navaios are brought from dis

There is a report that the big
school eventually will be used for the
Apaches and the Navajo children
moved elsewhere, possibly TO the new
Kit Carson school that is being start
ed at old Fort Wingate, near Gallup.
The Apache school has been given
the name Of Theodore Roosevelt.

SAGINAW EMPLOYEES
DINE, TALK AND SING

Undoubtedly the most important
social event Of the month was the
reception given by the Saginaw q
Manistee Lumber company to a
number Of employees. This splendid
affair was held on the evening of
Saturday, March Is, in the lodge
room Of the Odd Fellow hall at Will
hams and it IS doubtful if any other
organization in the state ever held a
similar affair with its employees as
guests. Between forty and fifty OF
the Saginaw family sat down to a
spread which was the acme OF perfec-
ton and at once paid tribute to an
art for which the caterers in Williams
are becoming justly famous. The
first act was, Of course, the photo
graphing Of the scene by flashlight
and in order to secure the desired ex7
preston so necessary on the faces Of
those about to enjoy feast and an
hour OF two of fun toastmaster Cow
brough had the orchestra under the
leadership OF Conductor Barnes strike
up the Get Together" song to the
tune Of "Auld Lang syne. Williams

BRING UP OUR AVERAGE

the snow it brought was badly need
ed, for precipitation for the year to
date has been away under normal and
the moisture that has fallen in the

Harrington reports that normal pre-
cipitation in Flagstaff from January
/ to April l is about 31s inches, which
is about an inch more than we got.
Normal for March is 2.7 inches and
we got "a inches. Normal for April
is 1.8 inches, and we still have long
way to go to make that up, though
the forecast yesterday was probable
rain and snow today.
Precipitation in the last snow storm
was "a inch.
The average temperature for March
is 35.6 degrees. But this last month
it was considerably colder, though the

WARD ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
OF TED GROSH AT FLORENCE

Tn an atmosphere singularly free
of tenseness, the murder trial Of VIM.
B. Ward, Globe negro, got under way
at Florence Tuesday. The case was
called in the local court Monday and
the first day taken in selecting the
jury to hear the testimony.
Ward is charged with first degree
murder for the killing Of Ted Grosh,
Arizona university student, who was
shot to death near Globe on the morn
ing of December 26. The trial is be-
ing held in Florence upon a change Of
venue from Gila county, where au-
thorities feared violence to the de-
fendant.
The states principal witness, Mrs.
Maxine McNelly Gilbert of Globe,
companion cf Grosh when he was
slain, is expected to take the stand.
Mrs. Gilbert was seriously wounded
by the assailant, but has recovered
from her wounds and recently identi-
fled Ward as the slayer of Grosh.
Ward was given to custody Of eoun-
ty authorities Monday morning. He
has been held in safe keeping in the
state penitentiary since his arrest.
The defendant was arraigned last
January in Gila county, pleading not
guilty. Only the utmost strategy of
prison and county authorities saved
him from being lynched at the hands
of q mob after the arraignment, ac-
cording to officers, who spirited him
back to his solitary prison cell.

HENRY C. YAEGER DIES IN
PHOENIX OF FRACTURED HIP

Henry G. Yaeger, for 80 years a
prominent citizen of the valley, died
Tuesday morning at his home a few
miles west of Phoenix. The imme-
date cause Of death was an injury he
sustained sometime in the night or
early morning resulting in the break
ing of his hip. He had been in feeble
health for a long time and bell was
placed in his room by means of which
he could summon assistance. But in
falling to the floor he so injured him
self that he was unable to reach the
bell and he was not found until after
9 o'clock.
Mr.. Yaeger was beloved by all who
knew him for the kndliness of his
manner. He was member of the
Methodist church and consistent
Christian. He was 84 years of age.
He was native of Germany, but he
came to this country when young
man and engaged in business IN st.
Louis, where he remained until he
came to the Salt River valley IN the
early nineties.
He is survived, beside by his wife,
by one daughter and Jour sons, MIS-,
Cowan of Vicksburg, Miss; Ben @.
Yaeger of Phoenix, Harlow Yaeger Of
Flagstaff, Gilbert Yaeger, living in
Arkansas, and a fourth son residing
in the northwest.
All members of the family except
the daughter are expected TO arrive
for the funeral, which will probably
take place on Friday.-Phoenix Re
publican.
Harlow Yaeger Of Flagstaff left
Tuesday morning for Phoeniv upon
learning of his fathers death.

AND WIFE SPLIT
BLANKETS IN ABSURD WAY

They had been married five years
and had overcome all their martial
difficulties during the crucial period
of their adjustment to the connublal
state; yet they parted over nothing.
They were aotorilg from Los An
geles to Kansas City, where he had
effected transfer to please his wife
in the company ne represented when
the break came in this city.
Everything was pleasant, delight
fully pleasant, until they reached
Kingman, where the woman capric-
iously started to smoke cigarettes for
no other reason than to attract at
tention and perhaps to tease her hus-
band. He took the whim seriously
and a slight tiff resulted.
At Williams the husband met an
old friend who filled his flask,
present from his wife, Before leav-
Ing that town the husband put the
precious flask IN the door pocket of
his coupe. When they were few
miles out Of Williams the wife dis
covered that the vial contained liquor
and she demonstrated with her hus-
band fer having liquor in the car,
telling him that if an officer should
happcn to search the coupe, they
would be arrested. Becoming angry
at her eaptious remark, he threw the
flask away; whereupon she upbraid-
ed him for throwing away a present
which she had given him.
The incident, together with the bad
roads which they encountered west of
here, further aggravated their trou-
bic with the result that they said
some cutting things to each other.
She cold him that she would go home
to her parents. Not to be outdone, he
told her to go.
When they reached Winslow they
were still angry with each other. An
unfortunate word again inflamed
them. She reiterated her declaration
to 90 to her parents, and he gave her
half his money, leaving her to spend
the night alone.
The next morning crying and
laughing at the seriousness and the
absurdity Of their quarrel, he boarded
a train for the east. Later in the
day she left for her parents home.
Neither exercising that happy faculty
Of self control, they let an absurd in
cideat become 8 tragedy in their lives,
e. tragedy with all its unutterable
sorrow. Winsiow Mail.

TWO LIONS MIGRATE TO
BILL WILLIAMS MOUNTAIN

Last Saturday G. w. Mitchell,
rancher west Of town, saw two noun
tain lions, one large and enc small,
making their way across the Perrin
pasture, enroute for Bill Williams
mountain. Mr.. Canoe, also ranch-
er on that side of town, found the
tracks Of the animals passing near
his place. Apparently Roy Nagillar
and other Red Lake ranchers have
been making life a little too warm
for these creatures out the Canyon
way and they have decided to find an
easier life on Bill. If they would only
come out and show themselves now
and then they would make the trip up
the mountain much more interesting
for hikers. Williams News.

FORD HAD EIGHT DOPE

How clearly Henry Ford saw the
future Of the automobile and how we'll
he prophesied it, is shown in an art
icle written by him in February, 1910,
ard published in d Detroit newspaper.
In 1909, as the article states, 2,000,-
600 horse drawn vehicles were sold a.
against $4,000 automobiles. How the
prophesied reversal came appears IN
figures for last year which show the
sale Of approximately 100000 motor
cars during 1923 as compared with
