ORGAN GRINDER KILLED.
Run Down While Children Dance
to His Music.

Special Dispatch to The Star
lar melody f1oated fBBZBMZBM ZBM
NE YORK. June 21.-Notes of a
popular melody fioated gayly through
Elizabeth street today. Children had
gathered as oft before, to enjoy the
music of Tony Paulish's hand organ.
Tony liked children and smiled at them
as he ground out tune that stirred
them to rhymic motion.
The rumble of an approaching seven
ton truck was not heard by the children,
whose ears we're closed to all save the
melody. Then suddenly the tune went
false and died Little dancing feet
paused, waiting for Tony to play again,
but the organ was stilled for ever and
Tony lay crushed and bleeding in the
street. He died in a few hours in St.
ViHcents Hospital.
Rosa, Tony's wife, dropped the cup
in which she had been collecting PEN
MES and gathered her husband in her
arms with a low moan. The children's
laughter changed to tears.

JULY DOPE

July is pretty much a month of
war anniversaries. ANY of YOU
who got married in July will agree
without looking farther.
July started off with fireworks
back in 1868, for that was when
the battle of Gettysburg was
fought.
The Fourth is-oh, figure it out
for yourself.
The 18th is Orangemen's day.
It's fine for your health to wear
green that day if you're in a Sham
rock community; otherwise hide
out.
Sherman started his march to
the sea on July IL, 1864.
The Americans successfully
counter-attacked at Chateau
Thierry on July Is, 1918.
Twas July 81, 1861, when the
battle of Bull Run was fought.
July 27, 1915, wireless communi-
cation between this country and
Japan was established.
Lafayette arrived in this country
from France July 81, 1777. If his
ship had been day late we would
have waited until next month to

The Flagstaff team played two

Flagstaff team, saving Knox in the
expectation of his having to pitch a
hard game Sunday, used Katus and
Teabone Williams on the mound. The
game went Id innings, Rabbits win
ming to 6.
That made the last-named bunch
ambitious and a return game was
played on Sunday afternoon. Wally

THREE COLLISIONS. BADLY
DAMAGE SIX AUTOMOBILES

John Seay's Dodge Sedan and Matt
Black, Jr.'s Ford locked horns Satur-
day evening at Birch avenue and Le-
roux street and the impact made a
lot of noise. Also it did neither of
the cars any good at all. About all
the glass was divorced from Johns
car and other bruises sustained and
the front of Mats car travelled con-
siderably toward the rear thereof.
Mr.. Seay later before Police Magis-
trate Sheffield acknowledged he'd
been travelling across the intersection
a little too fast and paid a small fine.
Saturday night as Rex Goble was
returning in his Hudson car from Will
liams he was run into by a Mr.. Elder
from that town, driving Chevrolet.

from the other car, of which the
driver apparently lost control, for it
headed into the Hudson just as it
came up to it, pretty badly wrecking

to get back on his side of the street in
time to avoid hitting the Saunders
machine. Arthur Perry, who was rid

lacerated in three places, nesessitating
several stitches. Both machines were
smashed, the Saunders machine get

THREE CAR THIEVES GET
4 TO 5 YEARS In PEN

Three automobile thieves were yes.
terday sentenced by Judge ]. E. Jones
in superior court, Flagstaff, to from
four to five years in the state pen
itentiary at Florence.
They were H. G. Swall, who recently
stole a Studebaker car at Mormon
Lake belonging to Joe O'Connell Of
Phoenix, and Charles P. Hanley anc
Douglas Barton, who last Thursday
night stole the Studebaker car belong
ing to L. C. Lashmet of Lake Mary
from in front of the Orpheum theater
The first-named was caught al
Seligman. The two latter "a hours
after they left here were captured
at Los Lunas, N. NJ Hanley and
SwalI pleaded guilty. Hanley tried to
clear Barton, asserting that the latter
did not know the car was stolen until
they were arrested.
Barton and Hanley were accomp-
anied in their journey from Flagstaff
by Mrs. Jessie Cramer, 80 years old,
of Boston. She had been waitress
a short time in a local cafe. She as
serted that she had nothing to do with
stealing the car but is being held
pending investigation of a charge that
she entered a room at the Bank hotel
and stole some wearing apparel and
$6 in cash from a Mrs. Stanley, a
guest there. None Of the clothing
was found in her possession, however.
Deputy sheriff John Garret went
to Los Angeles and drove back the
Lashmet car, bringing the two men
and the woman back with him.
No trace has yet been found of DR.

LOCAL MEN
CLAIM BOOZE
COPS SOUGHT
TO CORRUPT

Affidavits secured here on the
methods alleged to have been used by
members of the state prohibition force
in getting evidence in liquor cases
evidently came to the attention of u.
S. District Judge Fred G. Jacobs of
Prescott, who announced in open court
that he would start an investigation
of the situation in the very near fu-
ture.
Judge Jacobs announcement fol-
lowed recommendation by the fed
eral grand jury to the same effect.
Judge Jacobs said his investigation
would begin as soon as similar one
being made by the board of supervis-
ors of Coconino county is finished.
The supervisors of this county are
making no investigation. At their
regular monthly meeting seven affi-
davits, all sworn to before former
Judge G. H. Crosby, Jr., of Flagstaff,
we're laid before them for considera-
tion. They sent for County Attorney
Frank Harrison, who advised that the
only investigation they could properly
make would be into county expenses
incurred in securing evidence in liquor
cases. AS the agents complained of in
the affidavits had turned all the men
they arrested over to the U. S. court,
it was felt by both Mr.. Harrison and
the supervisors that the affidavits
should also go to the federal officials.
The affidavits were filed with U. S.
Commissioner Tom L. Rees and copies,
it was understood, furnished the U. S.
grand jury at Prescott.
The affidavits have to do with two
federal prohibition agents who after
signal success at Tucson, then later in
Apache county, were sent into this
county a month or SO ago.
One affidavit, made by an employe
of a Flagstaff garage, recites that
the two agents delivered a burlap sack

never lost courage or confidence,
though it was known to others when
he took to his bed six months ago that
he would never be able to get up from
it.
Mr.. Crump was born in Macoupin
county, Illinois, on November IL,
1883, being 40 years old at the time

Carl Mayhem and A. w. Carson.
Deceased leaves two brothers and
a sister: DR.. 7. W.. Crump and Miss

The Kolb Brothers are splendid fell
lows and I am fortunate in counting
both as my personal friends. You may
rest assured that instead of hamper
ing their work, we shall help them in
any way possible.
Furthermore, in the event the
Bright Angel trail is sold to the
United States government, the ma

THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER

Lou Thomas, who passed away July
10, 1924, at Mercy hospital, was born
at Newark, Rock county, Wisconsin.
November II, 1864. He came to Flag
staff first in 1883, and worked a short
time with his brother John before go
ing to Oak Creek where he remained
for about year, then moving to
Colorado where he was married to
Rose Gordon at Victor. In 1896 he
returned to Oak Creek with Mrs.
Thomas, locating on the Thomas ranch
which became famous as headquarters
for all lovers of trout fishing, as well
as most hospitable place to spend a
vacation. This ranch was recently sold
to Jas. "a. Lamport and was the scene
of Zane Grey's story and picture "The
Call of the Canyon" Even greater
story of human life could have been

might be called in to the main office.
However, Uncle Charlie shook his
head in a determined way and insis-

NO CLUE YET TO HIDING
PLACE OF ROMERO KILLER

Though the hunt is still going on,
no clue has been turned up to reveal
the hiding place of Miguel Romero,
the Yaqui- Mexican who week ago
last Saturday shot and killed Juan
Gonzales and wounded Carmel RAM
irez on South San Francisco street,
Flagstaff.
Former City Marshal r. L. Neill,
who had been south of here on the
hunt, returned a few days ago and
is no longer on the case. Other dep
uties from the sheriff's office are on
the watch, making frequent trips on
one lead or another. 1t is feared per-
haps the murderer may have returned
to Ell Paso and perhaps across the
border; while there are rumors that
he is still in hiding out near here in
some sheep camp and others that he
is still in Flagstaff, being kept under
cover by friends. At any rate, he is

she had heard so much of DR.. Nc

felt Flagstaff was no stranger to her.
Also, she had heard great deal of
Col. F. S. Breen and this city often
referred to as one in which that re-

WILLIAMS HAS TWO
DISASTROUS FIRES

Williams had two fires Within a
short time this week The first was
at about II o'clock Monday night in
the Mexican part Of town. Two resi-
dences We're destroyed. The group of
houses of which the two were situated
was outside the town limits on Sagi-
nav & Manistee private land. It was
necessary for the city firemen to pro-
cure the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber
Co. hose and with their own string
it to the nearest hydrant which. was
over thousand feet from the scene
of the fire. However, after they got
it connected they soon had the fire
under control.
1t was extremely lucky that the
wind was not blowing much or it
would likely have resulted in the burn
ing of the entire group.
The second fire occurred within
twelve hours afterwards at the White
garage, owned by Erie Poison and
Charles Button, in the very heart of
the business district. One of the me-
chanics, Mr.. Humphries, was working
in a pit under car When climbing
out of the pit he fell and spilled can
of gasoline. At the same time the
electric extension light he had with
him was broken and an electric spark
ignited the gasoline. Within two or
three minutes the garage was mass
of flames.

like mad The Standard Oil company
rushed their Fomite tank to the scene
and reduced the flames to the mini

COUNTY AND
CITY REDUCE
EXPENSE AND
LOWER TAXES

Increase in tax valuation in Coconi-
no county over last year was $4,000,
the budget is little lower than last
year and the county tax rate will be
25 cents on the hundred dollars less
than for 1923.
That is as things stand at present.
The wool growers of the state are
making determined effort to have
the tax valuation of sheep reduced to
$5 a head from present valuation of
Sc. If this is ordered by the state
tax commission, Coconino county
valuation will be decreased by about
$240,000, which of course, will result
in the tax rate being slightly higher
than in 1923.
An item entering largely into the
decrease in valuation is the increase
over last year of 81 900 mile on the
Santa Fe main line valuation and of
$4,000 a mile on the Grand Canyon
railway valuation. In the first case
the total increase amounts to 100000
and in the latter to $189,000.
Another big item of increase is in
automobiles. This year they are val
ued at $520,624. Last year, 1914, ,619.
The abstract of the county assess
ment roll is printed on another page
of this issue of The Sun and is inter-
esting reading for all who are inter
ested in our wealth and resources.
Flagstaff's town budget has also
been reduced a little this year, only
$1,303.15, but that reduction, coupled
with an increase in valuation of town
property means substantially lower
tax rate. Flagstaff has the privilege
of increasing taxes 10 per cent each
year. The city fathers refused to
take advantage of that in their recent
budget making, preferring to lower
rather than increase the tax rate,
though had they done the latter plenty
of good use could be found for the
money.
