After seriously considering several
realty bargains, the young man chose
a $500 cottage on the hill and i'm
mediately wrote a check for the full
amount on the First National bank,
of Dodge City. Being assured that
the deed would be Forthcoming the
following day, the young man, with
many enthusiastic comments upon the
delights of Flagstaff and his joy at
becoming a property owner here, re-
paired to the New York store and
purchased a raincoat-issuing q sec
ond check ON the Dodge City bank.
Raudebaugh, taking the usual pre-
caution, requested a local bank to
telegraph the Dodge City financial in
stitution to verify the genuineness and
par value of the "Parham" check
compared with which the promised
real estate boom paled into insignifi-
cance. kilograms began arriving
from Kansas banks and from Kansas
City and Los Angeles offices of the
Burns detective agency.
The ~. N. ParhamD check for
$500 and. the check given the New
York store were worthless, but the
location of 81. N. Parham," true
name Joseph I. Clancey, alias Sher-
man, was most valuable, so stated
the kilograms from Kansas City,
Dodge City and Los Angeles. The
young man is wanted in the states
mentioned, also in Illinois on worth
4 less check charges, according to the
Burns agency, and an officer is now
en- route for Flagstaff to relieve City
Marshal J. r. Cooper of his prisoner,

| telegraphic warrants from the Dodge
/ City bank.

with Raudebaugh," and that he in
tended calling around the following
morning, have Raudebaugh cash a
check for $50, and with the money
"grab train for California" He of
many aliases also stated that with a
youthful companion he chad cleaned
up a lot of money on bum checks, I"
particularly at Dodge City.
| While Parham, alias Clancy, alias
Sheridan, denies having ever served a
prison sentence, the Burns detective
agency of Los Angeles has telegraph
/ ed local officers that under the name
of Joseph T. Clancey the youth, at
4 the age of II, began serving a term
| in a California reformatory in 1920.
Inasmuch as the Dodge City au-
thorities have many charges pending
against Clancey, the charges against
the youth in Flagstaff will not be
pressed, at least not until the Kansas
authorities are through with him, To-
cal officers stated.
incidentally, Raudebaugh has can
celled the $500 realty deal, and the
New York store has recovered the
recently purchased raincoat.

NOTED WRITER HEADS
ROBBER GANG AT PHOENIX

Donald Lowrie, so years old, known
to.nillions of readers throughout the
United States and Canada as "Arthur
Jamison," writer of detective fiction
and crime stories, was arrested Sat-
urday morning by Phoenix police of
ficers and private detectives and held
in the county Jail, a confessed bur-
glar.
With him were arrested also Will
liam E. King, 26, and Marie Iva King,
IS. his wife, held for investigation in
connection with II robberies, seven of
which were in Phoenix, within the
past month.
The young couple, however, are
only lesser lights in the eyes of the
police officers, who declare that Low
the genius who has successfully
planned and executed some of the
cleverest. robberies ever perpetrated
in local police annals.
His undoing and the consequent ar
rest of Mr.. and Mrs. King Saturday
at 1910 West Polk street, where the
trio had been residing since their ar
rival in Phoenix, August Is, was the
result of defective work by the lccA.
officers as intricate and 11atthng as
any of the situations pictared in and
drawn from the agile mind of the
professional writer of detective fic-
tion.
A tiny scrap of paper crumpled into
a ball and thrown into the bottom of
a suitcase containing local loot which

ing point of three day investiga-
ton which finally led the local off
GERS to the West Polk street cache y
where stolen articles totaling at least
$4,000 in value were discovered. The
suitcase, hidden behind a billboard
near Fifth avenue and Van Buren
street, was found Wednesday by a
citizen who reported it to the G. M.
Farmer Secret Service bureau.

so BURN YOUR LIGHT THAT IT
MAY BE SEEN ON YOUR RETURN

The hull city police force was mo-
bihzed on Railroad avenue and San
Francisco street last Friday evening
at about $50, as traffic cops. 1t wasn't
long before they had the streets lined
on both sides with spectators who were
hugely enjoying the discomforture of
careless drivers who didn't turn right
or give the proper signals or whose
cars didn't function as to tail lights.
Each one, amid the jeers of the mob,
was handed a printed invitation to
attend a select party being given by
Judge Sheffield at the city hall the
next morning. Judge Sheffield may
wear crutches, but not on account of
any trouble with his head. He spoke
very frankly to those present, advis-
ing that he believed in the constltu-
tion of the United States, the state Of
Arizona, the bylaws of Coconino coun-
ty and the city ordinances of Flag
staff. He rehearsed some of the salient
features of these documents. to his
hearers and insinuated quite fervently
that these documents were not mere
scraps of paper, with further sug-
gesti6n that those who were inclined
to lean toward the scrap of paper idea,
would eventually discover a scrappy
police Judge all set to paste the
scraps together in a very, very ex-
pensive way. He even went 80 far as
to say that killing or injurlng pedes-
trians through carlessness In driving,
was being frowned upon by our best
people, of whom he was one OF Willch.

zens to register during the day and
a committee appointed by the Mayor
worked for creditable registration.
The object of registering, the mayor
announced, was not to pledge anyone
TO enlistment in present or future
military organizations, but rather to
determine for the war department
just what could be accomplished in
haSty enlistment and mobilization of
troops should the occasion ever arise.

Mayor Loren Cress, chairman; Com
mander Carl Mayhew, Mark A. Moore

Cattle and sheep men, as we'll as
loggers and others are developing a
cooperative spirit in the forestry serv-

precauton against trampling down,

be held in Prescott Saturday, Sep
tember 81, Tom E. Mccullough Of

BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL SALE
TO u. S. AGREED TO TODAY

paper of said County, to the
highest bidder for cash, that GER
tain toll road or trail situated in
the Grand Canyon National Park,
in said County of Coconino, be-
ginning at point on the south
rim of the Grand Canyon, near
the Bright Angel Hotel and ter
minating at the Colorado River,
and commonly known as "The
Bright Angel Trail"
Roll call was made by the Clerk
and recorded as follows:
w. C. Rittenhouse--NO.
Il. f. Taylor-Yes.
John L0y-Yes.
Mr.. Loy's vote for the sale of the
trail expressed the feeling favorable
to it he had had for some time. How
ever, at a meeting of the board sew
eral weeks ago, he was against the
sale at that time because he felt il
would injure his chances to be re-
nominated for supervisor at this
weeks primary election. Events
proved that Mr.. 10y made a tactical
blunder then, and that had he votec
at that time with Mr. Taylor for the
sale he would have received many
more votes in Tuesdays primary, es-
pecially considering the fine recorc
made by the board of supervisors
since election two years ago. As ii
was, J. A. Kellam, one of his oppon-
ents for the democratic nomination
who was avowedly for the sale of the
trail, captured the nomination.
Public opinion also manifested it.

received for the democratic renomin-
alton in supervisorial district No. 1
While one of his opponents, Mr.. Wool
folk, was also strong for the trails
sale, and the other opponents, Mr.
Knight, believed to be favorable tx
it, the fact that Mr.. Taylor had op.
enly favored the sale in the meetings
of the board of supervisors had great
weight with the voters.
It is doubtful if there will be any
other bidder for the trail. At any
rate, a representative of Uncle San
will be here to bid 100000, and it is
a foregone conclusion that there vii
be no other bona-fide bid of anything
like that amount,
