MISS NITA GUILLOT NOW
BRIDE OF RAY PROCHNOW

1t will be as noisy revenge as
possible to make it, when Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond j. Prochnow get back
to their home from the honeymoon
"trip they embarked on Tuesday morn
ing; becauses they revealed the date
of marriage to only few and then
sped away before the others could of
fer congratulations.
The bride was Miss Anita NJ. Gull
lot, charming and talented young
woman, who came here about year
ago from McNary, La, and made her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
Burns. She and Mrs. Burns are sis
ters.
They were quietly married at 7:30
mass at the Catholic church, by Rev
FIR. K. Albouy. Mr.. and Mrs. Burns
stood up with them. They left that
same morning on No. 8, amid showers
Of rice and snow, many good wishes
and loads of advice from some of their
married friends for Los Angeles and
San Francisco and upon their return,
probably in about two weeks, will be
at home in the Johnny Love bunga-
low, East Elm street.
The bride during the ceremony
wore a handsome brown gown of
crepe de jour satin with trimmings of
gold and gold hat and accessories to
match. She is one cf severe a
daughters of Ed Guillot of Markes-
vile, La, all of whom except Mrs
Burns and herself live there. Until
recently she was a valued employe Of
Babbitt Bros. Trading Co.
Mr. Prochnow is well-known to
everyone here, where he has lived all
of his life and has too many friends
to begin to keen track of. He is
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Proch-
now, the eldest child in a large fam
ily, and for quite while now has
been connected with the First Ma
tional bank here and also is asso-
ciated with Arthur NJ Riordan in a
local agency for radios.
Good fortune and happiness during
long lives is the very worst The Sun
can offer you, chilluns.

DEPUTY FRED NJDEN In
TIGHT PLACE H II HIS
HEAD AND GOT He MAN

Being on the outside of a .rong
Jail looking in at the man is whole
lot better than being at the small
end of a Krag rifle looking at the
same man while he has his hand on
the trigger and is sneering threats
at you, philosophises Fred Holden,
the capable deputy sheriff at VIII
iams.
Fred was spectator from both POI
sitions Sunday.
He has a homestead and section of
leased land a few miles from Will
liams. Word was brought to him
Saturday that 1000 sheep belonging to
the Daggs company had been trailed
through his place. Bill Coleman, fore
man of the company, assured him
that if the sheep had trespassed he
would be paid for any damage done.
He said he'd meet Fred at the ranch
next morning to investigate.
Next morning, Fred, accompanied
by George Johnson, went out to the
ranch. Coleman didn't show up. They
found the sheep in the pasture wher~
Fred said, they had been all the day
before and had eaten a lot of good
feed he had hoped to keep his 20
horses on. They drove the sheep out
and about 250 yards away.
Just as they turned back, Fred says
The herder, Francisco Diego, whom
they hadn't seen up to then, confront
ed them with Krag, angrily snarl
ing, "Pll keel you, III keel you"
Fred had only his pistol, which he
couldn't get to with that rifle dozen
feet away and dead on him. George
was unarmed. Fred kept maneuver-
ng and talking, trying to get near
enough to disarm the man, but the
latter was wary. Finally they got
into Fred's car and left That a Ger
noon Fred went out, this time ready
to match Diego, gun for gun, and got
him, unresisting when the odds were
even. He brought him. to county jail
at Flagstaff, and will be tried, prob
ably today, by Justice of Peace Tom
e. Pulliam on charge of aggravated
assault.

AGED MAN, ALONE, KILLED
WHEN CAR Slid OFF into
CANYON NEAR LEE FERRY

Hunters returning from the Kaibab
forest late last Thursday night, dis
covered a pitiful tragedy of the des-
ert when they found a Ford truck and
crushed beneath it an aged man at
the bottom of canyon about two
miles this side of Lees Ferry.
The man had been dead about "a
hours. He was Waddy Thompson
Ligon, 73 years old, of Bisbee, who
had been driving to Lees Ferry to
visit his daughter, Mrs. Chester Moon,
wife of the ferryman there. The par
ty discovering him was from Tuba
City, headed by Harvey K Meyer, su-
perintendent of the Western Navajo
Indian reservation. Finding that the
man was dead and not knowing who
he was, they left him and came on to
Cameron, from there phoning the
sheriff's office.
Mrs. Moon had been expecting her
father, but did not know when he
would arrive. For nearly &c hours his
mangled body laid only two miles
away from her home
The car was Ford that had been
converted into truck by building a
box on behind. Ligon was feeble, too
weak to crank the car when he stop
ped at Gap trading post. He was go
ing up the steep hog-back at the ap-
proach to the "dugway," or tortuous
grade down from the plateau to the
Colorado river, when, apparently, his
engine stopped. The car backed few
feet, then the wheels on one side went
off the road and the car slid sideways
down the steep canyon bank to the
bottom. This was very narrow, so
that when the car struck it there was
not room to turn upside down and the
top of the car laid against the steep
opposite bank of the canyon, pinping
Ligon in the seat.
Ligon was miner. He was born
in Richmond, Va, and married Miss
Barnett from Anthem, Va. The lat
ter has been dead some time. The
corpse was taken to Lees Ferry and
buried on the Johnson ranch on the
north side of the river. Ligon would
have been IA years old in another
month. There are several children
besides Mrs. Moon.
DR.. Felix Manning, county health
officer, Under-sheriff d. l.. Mckinney,
Justice of Peace Tom Pulliam, acting
coroner, Deputy Sheriff Art Vande-
vier, Constable Charlie Priest and
Mr.. Coburn, the latter of St Louis,
drove out to the ferry on Friday
getting back to Flagstaff Saturday
night They arrived at the ferry two
hours after the man had been buried.
The verdict was accidental death.

BUCKS AWAY IN DAY AT
NIGHT CAME UP TO PLAY

After driving all day and all night
to reach home before they were
showed out, party of deer hunters
from the Kaibab reached here at 4
o'clock Monday morning, weary but
victorious. Each one had killed his
buck but they weren't as easily picked
off as earlier in the season, as the
herds had drifted to the rougher coun-
try at the edge of Grand Canyon.
An interesting feature of the trip
was the nightly visits of numbers OF
handsome bucks which approached
within a few feet Of the campers aft
er they had crawled into bed. After
,undown and protection by law they
seemed to know no fear. Rangers
stated that there hadn't been bigger
buck taken out of the forest this sea-
son than the one Joe Gaddis brought
out. In the party were Joe Gaddis,
Frank Thomas, Kirk Maxwell, Joe
Gaddis, Dock and Leslie Wyatt.

DEER SEASON CLOSED
WITHOUT MANY KILLS

The finish Of the deer and turkey
season came last Saturday without
any great amount-of success for local
hunters, though many we're in the
woods the last few days Of the season
trying hard for trophies. Joe P. Will
son, Ed Babbitt and Joe Gaddis got
home from the Kaibab forest game
preserve each with a fine buck killed
just before the season closed.
Frank Bennett, who had missed a
fine buck the first day of the season,
calmed down from his cussing and
went out the last day to the same
place, the, foot Of Elden mountain,
and this time didn't miss. He says
he's sure it's the same buck that had
most him 80 days profanity.
Superintendent John @. Thomas of
city schools get two wild turkeys, IN
mense ones, soaring them up just at
dark one night, then going back after
them long before sunrise next morn
ing.
Ed Babbitt says that hunting in the
Kaibab was just as hard as around
here, with just about as few deer in
sight and those few wilder than here.
Apparently most of them are still M
in the high country where hunting is
not permitted.

poses Of Rotary, which he summar-
Ized as being better exemplification
of the ideals of humanity; its func-
Cions embraced in the two words, "or-
ganized service" accomplished by the
encouragement and support of all or
ganizations that serve God, country,
community and fellow-man. He
called attention to the fact that the
Rotary spirit is not an abstract thing,
0ut calls for the performance with
out shirking of any specific public
duties that may arise, like voting and
serving on juries. In concluding he
emphasized as cardinal function of
Rotary the encouragement Of good
fellowship and friendship.

BRINGING THEM
CLOSE WITH CAMERA

An interesting photograph, the
authencity of which might be
doubted by eastern people not up
on the art of modern photography
nor wise to our magnificent dis
tances, was taken couple weeks
ago from point we'll up on the
new pipe line road by Earl G.
Slipher of Lowell observatory.
The photo plainly shows Navajo
mountain, at least ITS miles away
from the camera. Earl used a red
filter to prevent atmospheric in
reference. He says he believes it
possible from the top of the San
Francisco peaks under normally
favorable conditions to get photo
graphs of strongly marked noun
tain peaks up to a distance of 500
miles.
