The road to be taken over by the
county extends for 20 miles, Is miles
of which is in fair condition, the re-
manning five miles to be put in good
shape by the county. 1t was
ed by John B.. Tomlin, chairman of the
Road Committee, that the county will
eventually TAX over the road from
Elwood to Da Costa.
This will enable travellers to go
from Atlantic City to Camden County
on a road parallel to the White Horse
pike without crossing the pike except
at Da Costa.
The entire project, according to Mr..
Tomlin, will not cost over SIS, 900, and
the county solicitor was authorized by

different townships and municipali-
ties along the road in question. 1t is
expected that this will be done before
the next meeting Of the board.

SHERIFF HAWS OF APACHE
COUNTY SERIOUSLY BURNED

Marion Haws, sheriff of Apache
county, narrowly escaped death by in
cineration last Friday evening, when,
as he was filling his gas tank in front
of the Old Trails garage on Second
street, the gas overflowed, part of it
striking the overheated engine of his
car, and burst into flame. Haws'
clothes caught fire, and he ran
screaming into the garage in search of
covering with which to smother the
flames, at the same time fighting the
fire from his face with his hands.
The sheriff's life was saved only by
the presence of mind Of j. M. Tenney,
Santa Fe boiler maker, who, from
across the street where the accident
happened, started to the rescue, pur-
sued the sheriff into the garage,
caught him in the rear of the building,
threw him to the floor, and with his
bare hands put out the flames, and
tore the burning clothes from Haws.
Both men suffered severe burns,
and rushed to doctors office, where
they were cared for. Haws was bad
ly burned over the entire body and
left arm, while TenneY's hands were
blistered from wrists to finger tips.
The accident occurred in plain view
of the evening crowd, and in the pre-
sence of Haws' wife, small daughter,
and wife's parents. They were driv-
ing through Winslow on their way to
Holbrook, and in a couple hours after
were on their Winslow Mail.

MORMON LAKE ATTAINING
FAME AMONG FISHERMEN

Two Phoenix sportsmen who have
just returned from a ten day trip to
Mormon and Stonenlan lakes in
northern Arizona give great praise to
the wonders of that section.
Earl A. Nelson and J. v: Steven
son are the happy anglers who declare
that Mormon Lake is the best place to
spend a vacation. Everything is to
be found there to make one enjoy the
pleasures of outdoor life.
Nelson says that there are 800 peo-
pie camped around beautiful Mormon
Lake now, wonderful camping places,
with groceries, ice, and fresh. veget-
ables near at hand. He was so inn
pressed with the surroundings that he
intends to build a cottage of his own
in the already large colony of cabins
owned by local sportsmen. He will
also put an Evinrude motor boat on the
lake.
When asked how fishing was at
this fayorite summer resort, Nelson
said that it was the best they had
found anywhere. With very little ef-
fort, by using anything for bait, they
caught all the catfish and yellow
ring-eyed perch they wanted just as
fast as they could throw their lines
into the water, he said.
Nelson said there were over a doz-
en- radio sets in camp, and that many
interesting concerts were heard.-The

VERDICT IN ESTATE OF GEORGE
BABBITT AFFIRMED BY COURT

The judgment of the Maricopa
county Superior court in the case of
j. J. Donahue against David Babbitt,
Philomena Babbitt as administrator
of the estate of George Babbitt, dec
eased, C. j. Babbitt, William Bah
bitt, and Charles Prochnow, was af-
fir1ned in an opinion handed down
yesterday by the supreme court.
The opinion was written by George
r. Darnell, judge of the Pima county
superior court who sat for Judge
Frank III. Lyman.
The case involved the question as
to whether the verdict of the Jury in
a case in equity is binding upon the
trial judge and must be followed.
The opinion holds that the verdict is
not binding, but merely an advisory
one in such cases, affirming the
judgement of the trial Judge, who set
aside the verdict of the jury in issuing
the judgment.
Donahue brought the suit to have
a deed and bill of sale declared mort
ages and for an accounting and re-
demption. The case, tried before a
jury to whom interogatories were sub
mitted for a verdict, was found in
favor of him, but the trial Judge rem
dered judgement for the defendants,
from which Donahue appealed.-Phoe>
