WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE LIBRARY SUIT.
New Suit Against the City For Damages Under Consideration

S1CdIluS COuSlu0IdD1S 0Ap6uS0 TO make
it fit to use as a Library and reading
room. Out of the 1926 books in good
condition turned over to the Town
we received 798 in good condition.
The Association has advice that the
Court only tried the suit for possess
sion as outlined in the defendants
answer "that the suit for damages
could not be heard at the same trial.
We did not prove damages as stated
IN the decision, as we were not then
IN position to get the evidence that
has since come into our possession.
The suit for damages is now under
consideration.
The Wickenburg Library Associa-
tion is asking for nothing more than
justice, and that only facts be given.
Now, since the Mayor pleads ignor-
ance of the contents of the Courts
decision in the Library case, same is
given herewith in full

enburg Library Association to place
before the public a statement of facts
concerning the Library matters in
justice to ourselves.
1t has come to the knowledge of
the Association, through rumor, that
malicious reports had been sent out
from the Council one that the suit
had not been taken under advisem ent,
but had been thrown out of Court,
another that the Courts order was
that the Town turn the Library back
to the Association ''as it is' and at
the Towns convenience and that their
only obligation was to pay their own
attorney This last statement was
confirmed by the Mayor, Mr.. B. c.
Straughan, when he repeated this
statement to the Committee on In
ventory of the Library books, July
23rd, at which the Mayor was present
at. the count, and in answer to the
question as to when the Town Woul
be prepared to pay the Court costs
assessed against the Town in favor
OF the Association, he stated that
there were no costs that he knew
anything about.
The Town Council moved from the
Library building prior to June 18th.
and it is understood the rent from
the Telephone Company is in advance
and is paid between the 1st and 18th
of each month
We did not get the rent for the
month OF June. The Courts decision
was rendered June 8th We received
notice June 18th as follows:

After sending the letter above. the
Mayor stated to the Committee on

Knew about the Courts decision was
obtained in letter from their attor-
ney. Christy, which was that the

NOTE-On June 18th the Council
wrote the Association that they were
advised by the MARICOPA COUNTY
SUPERIOR COURT to vacate the
premises in favor of the Library AS

sunered lapse of memory since then
The Mayor also stated to the Com.
mlttee that they had made every eff

association. He also stated that the

made to the representative of the Lii
brary Association, or to any other
member that can be found, and to
substantiate this statement, and to
show that the Library Association
was always willing and ready to meet
the Town half way, aid to compromise
if anything reasonable was offered.
But when the representative of the
Town Council went to the several
different members of the Executive
Board of the Library Asspciation,
making as many different statements,
our President in an effort to avoid
discord and to get their offer in black
and white, wrote the following letter

Council in this matter, to which no
reply or acknowledgment was ever
received

Dear Sir:
This letter is in reference to your
request that you meet the lady mem
bers of the Library Association at
their next meeting.
In canvassing this matter with the
members of the Library Association,
they have decided that it would not
be advisable and would reap no favor
able results, since they all know that
you were aware of the fact that there
was ONE PERSON, and our attorney.
authorized the same as yourself, to
bring this matter to a satisfactory
conclusion.
|, Now you have been told many times
also by our attorney, of the above
facts, your efforts have been along
the lines of discord instead of har-
mony
II you have any statement or prop
osition to make now, or hereafter,
along the lines of a settlement of this
affair, you are advised to make the
same IN WRITING to our representa-
tive, Mrs. O'Brien, or to our attorney,
and they will refer the matter to the
Library Association if the settlement
looks possible.
Yours truly,
(Slgned) Mrs. I. B. Wood,
President Wickenburg Library Assn.
Does that letter have the appear
ance of a disposition on the part of
the Association not to do what was
right? But, please give the Library
Association credit for desiring to have
the proposition put in writing from
the Wickenburg Town Council, SO
there could be no getting away from
the facts.
If there had been an honest desire
on the part of the Town to settle the

Yakima Canute In ''Ridin' Mad"
A DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM
The Bismarck tribune., 1925-05-04
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington, May 4.--After a quar-
ter of IL century in state and federal
tribunals in Chicago, the famous
Deestrict of Lake Michigan case is
coming up to the United States su-
pleme court on appeal. 1t dates
so far back that not many people
remember just how it started.
The Deestrict is a big tract-a
good many acres-of "made land" on
Chicago's north shore lake front. At
first it was just the North Side city
dump. A North Side as big as Chi
cages has Il lot of refuse to dispose
Of This dump grew fast, away out
into the lake, 10 or Is minutes walk
and about twice that far north and
south from the foot of East Chicago
avenue-a dozen or SO of city blocks.
1t consisted of cinders, old bottles,
bones, tin cans, all sorts of junk. 1t
wasn't an attractive spot and Chicago
in those days wasn't as crowded as
Immediately and it seems to have oc-
Cured to nobody to claim it until,
unexpectedly, cap George We'll
lngton Streeter did. Then every
body wanted it.
His case was better than it looked
at first glance. The Deestrict was
bounded on its landward side by a
roadway, which originally had run
right along the lake front, SO that
there were no actually abutting prop
erty owners. 1t really lay off all
by itself and the cap" was the first
person who ever had laid claim to
it. A score of interests Immediately
took steps toward evicting him. The
"cap," full of fight, organized an
army of about dozen men-armed
with rifles, TOTO defend himself
The East Chicago avenue police came
on the jump, also with Winchesters
But on second thoughts, there wasn't
much the police could do. If the
land belonged to the "cap'-and
nobody was in position to say it
didn't-he was entitled to keep tres
passers off.
The affair finally resolved itself
into legal contest, but with the
threat Of an armed clash always
looming in the background, like the
Balkan menace in Chicago setting
Presently the "cap" began quit

AUTOMOBILE
HAS EFFICIENT
COOLING SYSTEM

A most extraordinary feat for a
motor car, in which a Chrysler dem
onstrated it's camel-like qualities by
going around the world on single
supply of water, was recently report
ed to j. w. Nikart, Chrysler dealer
in South Bend, Indiana.
Last September, Chrysler roads,
ter was sold to Norman A. Parker Of
South Bend. After driving it 5000
miles throughout the United States
and Canada, he took it to New Zea-
land. In a letter just received from
Mr.. Parker, the following sensation
al news was revealed. II brought it
out to New Zealand with me, and it
has excited admiration wherever
have been. The water you put in the
radiator is still there, and ! have
not so far found it necessary to add
one DROP"
Mr.. Parker's experience reveals a
quality in the Chrysler that has ex-
cited the comment of many other
Chrysler owners as we'll. That quail
ity is the efficient cooling system.
Extra large water passages COM
pletely surround each cylinder and
valve of the Chrysler motor. They
give minimum Of one-half inch
clear water circulation space be-
tween each cylinder. Moreover, the
casting of the block is so designed as
to insure no possibility of obstructed

Graham Brothers
In First Place
Sturdy Truck Makes Remarkable
Advance

Official figures from Detroit for
the first quarter of 1925 show that
Graham Brothers rank first in the
world in the production and sale Of
la ton trucks.
In the l ton and 1ha ton truck
fields combined they were surpassed
in volume only by Ford. "The in
formation may be surprising to the
general public" said NJ. B. Gilman,
local Dodge Brothers dealer, "but not
to US, nor to those who are familiar
with the performance Of Graham
Brothers Trucks and with their
rapid ascendancy in the industry
during the last three years.
Their advance has been without
There has been no blare
of trumpets, no exaggerated claims.
1t has been steady, wholesome
growth, based entirely upon the
trucks performance"
Less than three years ago Graham
Brothers were in twentieth position
Now they are manufacturing trucks

Eketing their entire output through
Dodge Brothers Dealers. This sales
and service advantage of a strong
dealer organization, combined will
