]. W. WEATHERFORD HURT
WHEN CAR JUMPS BANK

John w. Weatherford is still pretty
lame from bruises received the last
of last week down in the Beaver Creek
country, when his REQ touring car
headed over high bank and turned
over twice. Mr.. and Mrs. Weatherford
got home to Flagstaff in the car the
first of the week.
Johns escape from death was so
narrow that he is constrained not to
grumble much about the aches and
pains from which he suffers. He was
travelling over a road not far from
Montezuma well that was being re-
worked. A high center bent his steer
ing rod. A short distance farther on
he had to step on the gas to get over
stiff incline at the top of which
there was a sharp curve. Reaching
the curve, the car refused to follow
the road but went off the 20-foot en-
bankment, turning completely over
twice and landing right side up. John
stayed with the car until it quit turn
ing over, but the impact when it
struck for the last time threw him
on to pile of rocks dozen feet
away, bruising his back and legs
cruelty. A truck driver not far be-
hind helped him to his feet and into
the truck.
The top of the car was demolished
and the windshield shattered, sundry
other bruises showing. The wind
shield frame held, however and saved
Mr.. Weatherford from being crushed
beneath the car when it rolled. He
had accident insurance on the car.

BE BIG WHEN BRIDGE AT

rock valley. This is the only really
bad stretch of road between Flag
staff and Fredonia and that amount
will make a good highway of it, Mr..
Taylor says.
Anticipating the new bridge at
Lees Ferry and to take care of the
considerable travel already going that
way, it is likely County Engineer j.
B. Wright will have crew at work
in October and November shaping up
the road between Cameron and Lees
Ferry, with some work to be done in
spots this side of Cameron. The for
nation is such that only light ma
chinery is needed and lot of road
can be made in a short time.
When that bridge goes in and the
Buckskin mountain road rebuilt, Mr..
Taylor said, we will have hundreds
of cars through from Denver, Salt
Lake City and other points on the
northern transcontinental routes.

FLAGSTAFF CLAIMS IT'S OWN

After spending eight years as ex-
pert machinist for the Linotype and
Intertype manufacturers, R. G. Winans
has yielded to the call back to the
newspaper game and arrived in Flag
staff the first of the week to join the
Sun staff in the capacity of Intertype
operator-machinist. Mr. Winans has
leased the Major Harry Embach home
on Leroux street for the winter, and
will be joined here the last Of the
week by Mrs. Winans and the two
boys; Eugene, age II, and Byron, age
one year. The Winans made their
home at Santa Fe the past two years,
but attracted by Flagstaff's inviting
atmosphere, and projected by the
seething political maelstrom around
Santa Fe, they have elected this COM
munity as their future home.

NUMEROUS FIRES REPORTED

An average of one fire day has
been reported by Coconino forest
rangers during the past week, accord
ing to Supervisor Ed Miller. None of
them, however, resulted seriously, due
to vigilance of the rangers. Practical
ly all of the blazes reported were due
to flareups from smoldering stumps
of trees which were struck by light
ming during the recent September
storms, but were kept from causing
serious conflagrations by the rains.
The situation is. so serious at the
present time that ten men of the spe-
cial protective force have been placed
on duty over the Coconino forest and
more men will be added soon, the
supervisor said.

TONIC FOREST CLOSED TO
HUNTERS; COCONINO Will
BE IF HUNTERS CARELESS

Whether Coconino forest reserve
will be closed against all hunters and
campers throughout the deer, turkey,
duck and quail season, or is left open
with full hunting and fishing privi-
leges, depends entirely upon the
hunters themselves, U. S. Forest Su-
pervisor E. G. Miller has announces.
"There has been much talk and some
thought of closing the reserve against
hunters and smokers, because of the
grave fire hazards due to extreme
drought conditions, but we would
much rather not take that extreme
measure, if through considerate CO.
operation the hunters will assure u
of taking every precaution to prevent
fires" Supervisor Miller stated.
The Tonto forest, in which possibly
the best hunting in the state is to bf
had, has been definitely closed to
hunters during this year; partly be-
cause the supervisor and assistant
supervisor are both absent on I'M
portant business and three rangers
have recently resigned, greatly cut
ting down the number of men avail
able trained to cope with fire prob
lens.
The following communication has
been issued by Mr.. Miller to Coconino
forest rangers and it's substance COM
municated to G. M. Willard, Arizona
state game warden:

with Mr.. Kircher, and after discussing

of $160 and 500 The final one
was for $500 and it was over this
final payment that the disagreement
arose.
