 Wore Warm Clothes.
 All on board were in fur lined electrically heated flying suits as the ship began the crossing of the Rocgies, the hardest stretch Of the 5000 mile test cruise.
 Had Trying Time
 The last part of the 15000 miles voyage from Fort Worth involved continuous duty for the men and officers with only snatches of sleep, A sudden strom caused four thous- and pounds of soggy snow to weigh down the envekioe Of the ship.
 "rhe ship has arrived at San Diego on shedule ready for duty with the fleet if necessary and the cruise has been entirely satisfactory as a test of the ship" said Lieut.. Commander Lansdowne, captain of the Shenandoah, We are extreme ly anxious that the Pascific coast should have an opportunity to see the ship and Its performance. It is important the Pacific coast have air base for operation of such craft. A flight across the ocean is easy compared to one across the Rocky Mountains. Experience of the last few days leads us to believe that history has been made in crossing of the continent"
 Thrilling Sights
 In the narrow valley lights flick cred from the windows, automobiles threw broad flares along the roads and an occasional headlight from a locomotive stood clear and bright as the Shenandoah entered the pass at White Water.
 To one standing on the right of the operating gondola hanging be- low the long tube of the ship lights and shadows seemed to be passing only few feet away and a process sion of automobiles could be seen following the ship to the city.

Foiren of Berlin was fined sl25 and costs, and given a suspended jail sentence of l5 days when he was found guilty in police court this morning of operating a potor vehicle while under the in- fuence of liquor yesterday after noon.

Feeney and Supernumerary Joseph Hayes after the police noticed his machine travelling zig-zag course along the street, according to their testimony. The police told the court that Foiren staggered when they stopped his machine and ordered him to get out, and that they had to assist him into the police service car to take him to the station.
 Judge Mangan made a plea to the court to take into consideration the
 
 dealer and would lose his license as a result of his arrest. this being severe penalty in itself.
 BroT Family Row Aired
 Judge Benjamin w. Alling con tinued the case of Martin Broff, Kel- sey street, until October 31, to give Probation Officer Edward C. Con- molly an opportunity to attempt a settlement of affairs in the Broff home.
 Judge Mangan appeared for Broff and told the court that after listen- ing to the story of Broff whom he termed as an honest. hard-working man. he was convinced that the trouble in the Broff home was caus- ed by the family being ashamed of him because he is working man. Broff testified on the witness stand that his daughter had told him on several occasions that she was ashamed of him, that he "had head like a squash" Judge filling asked Mrs. Broff if she hasn't been trying to get him to sign the title of their property over to her. She hesitated for a moment and then told the court that she didn't care now, that her husband could have the property if he wanted it. The court asked her if the husbands re- fusal to sign over the. property had not been the cause of their trouble.
 Broff was in court last Saturday morning on complaint of his wife, the court saying at the time that the defendant was as much sinned against as shining" Broff said that he went to his work immediately af- ter leaving the courtroom and when he went to his home about ' o'clock

Boy Arrested But Not
Prosecuted For Assault

James Curry, II, of Mahoney Plane,
Pa, was arrested last Friday after
noon charged with attempted assault
on girl tourist, Miss Lillian Rudell
of Cleveland, Ohio, whom it was alleg-
ed he picked up in this city, and under
pretense of giving her a lift on her
way to Holbrook, according to the
first story of the girl, drove into the
foothills, where the alleged assault
occurred
Miss Rudell was found in an un-
conscious condition on the highway a
few miles east of Winslow early Thurs
day evening by Tilman Roger and
Miss Lucille Harris, both of Winslow.
Late Thursday night the girl regained
consciousness and told her story.
Miss Rudell, accompanied by her
parents and a younger daughter, was
on her way to California by auto. Be-
fore reaching Holbrook the party suf-
fered car trouble and were delayed.
They ran out of funds and could get
no farther than Holbrook, but had
few days before wired relatives in
the east to forward money to them at
Flagstaff. Leaving her parents and
sister in Holbrook the girl attempted
to get to Flagstaff to claim the money
expected there.
She was taken to Flagstaff by pass
ing tourists, but on arrival there
found the money had not been re-
ceived, so she started on the return
journey without funds, and it was
said, without even enough to buy
meals on the way.
She was successful in getting rides
to Winslow and arrived here late in
the afternoon. She started out to
walk, carrying bag, the remaining
30 miles to Holbrook.
At the eastern edge of town, it is
alleged, she inquired of Curry, who
was working at a service station,
where she could get drink, and in
cidentally recited her plight to the
young man. 1t is said that he sug-
gested that the water at the service
station was not good drinking water
but he would, if she would walk down
the road little way, take her part of
the way to Holbrook, and she could
get a drink a little farther down the
road She was soon Joined by the
young man in car, and rode a
few miles with him. About five miles
east of here he turned, against her
protest into the Painted desert road
leading north, but explained that there
was spring little way up that road
where she could get a good drink.
According to the girls story, she OBJ
jected to going farther and attempted
to jump out of the car. She ran from
him, hiding in the brush, then ran
and walked to the main highway,
where she was found shortly after
Thursday morning officers searched
the spot, and found the girls bag, coat
and a number of articles belonging to
Curry, and through them learned the
identity of the young man.
At the preliminary hearing Of Cur
ry at Holbrook Tuesday, it was decid-
ed that no charge could be lodged
against him, as the girl then admitted
that he had not harmed her, nor at
tempted to injure her in any way.
The boy was ordered held for few
days pending investigation of his i'm
mediate past.
