IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our deal
daughter, Evelyn, who passed away
four sad years ago, February 16
1921.
When the evening shades are falling
And we are sitting all alone,
To our hearts there comes a long
ing
If she could only come home.
No one knows the silent heart ache,
Only those who have lost can tell
OF the grief that's borne in silence
For the one we love so well.
Sadly missed by mother and ia
ther.

cation, the best military minds Of all

the hope that the board will give the

7, I'm conclusion, may / briefly sum up
the condition of the Army Air Service
as I see 1t. It's personnel, although
somewhat limited in numbers, is un-
exceiled by any air service in the
world. From the technical standpoint,
the remarkable development of the
equipment is evidenced by the many
world records held. The amount of
equipment is inadequate, but this is
controlled by the funds available. The
Air Service is under the leadership of
an able flying officer, Gen. Patrick.
The outstanding aeronautical achieve
ment Of all time Is the round-the-
world fight. The organization which
carried this epochal flight to success
thereby proved it's right to public con-
.fidence. / can see no reason to be
panicky about the condition Of the

STEP FATHER WINS BOY
AWAY FROM OWN FATHER

Gus Brenas, by order of the court,
is to retain custody of the ten-year
old boy who has been the center of a
legal battle the past week.
Jose Ysabel Morales and Gus
Brenas engaged in the legal tilt to de-
termine which should have the custody
of the ten year old boy, son of the
former and step-son of the latter.
Judge Jones came down from Flag
staff Thursday and Saturday to hear
the case. Attorney E. R. Byers rep
resented Morales and Attorney c. B.
Wilson was Brenas' counsel.
The story reaches back little over
ten years to the time when Morales
married local woman and made his
home here. Two children were born
to this union. Shortly after the ar
rival of the second child, Morales left
for Mexico, and after waiting for some
time for his return, Mrs. Morales Sc
cured a divorce and was married to
Gus Brenas.
Recently Morales came to Williams
and demanded the custody of his son.
Brenas claimed the right to the Gus
tody Of the boy and to settle the diff
ference. Judge Jones was appealed to.
After hearing the numerous wit
nesses and evidence for both sides of
the case Judge Jones rendered the
verdict giving Brenas the custody of
the boy but giving the father, Mo-
rales, the right to see his son at any
time-Wilhams News.

BABE RUTH'S SWELLED
HEAD MADE HIM BOOB

Babe Ruth, basebalFs "bad boy"
whose extravaganees and "foilies" are
figured to have COST him 100000, in
an interview given to the Golfers
Weekly, once was fined $4,000 by
Manager Miller Huggins of the YAM
KEGS, the story also reveals.
This, it says, was the outgrowth Of
continued violation of training rules
in 1922, eliminating in a "wet party"
on Broadway, but the fine later was
rescinded because Ruth was riding
the crest of one of his inspired bat
ting streaks, hitting a homer almost
every day"
This precedent was not a part of
public knowledge, incidentally, late
this season when Ruth was fined $4,000
by Manager Higgins for misconduct
off the field" while the Yankees were
in St. Louis.
Ruth, in his story, recounts his mis-
steps and recalls tremendous losses
through gambling, ill-starred business
ventures and in fighting legal suits,
all Of which he figured at $250,000,
besides an equal amount estimated to
have gone for high living, parties,
charities, gifts, etc" Once, he admits,
he lost $4,000 on a single horse race.
Il have been the sappiest OF saps,"
he adds. .But I'm going to make
good all over again"

MESA MAN CHARGED WITH
MURDER OF HIS PARTNER

CharlestR Blackburn, Mesa rancher
was arrested in Mesa Friday night. He
was returned Saturday to Stafford by
Sheriff Homer c. Tate of Graham
county and has been charged with the
murder of Miguel C. Bernal, his ranch
partner.
The vivid story Of an Indian, known
as II, who with his wife and small
son, is said to have witnessed the
killing of Bernal by Blackburn near
the San Carlos river bridge, was re-
sponsible for the arrest Of Blackburn
two days after he had reported the
Mexican's death as the result OF an
automobile accident.
So innocent of any sinister circum-
stances was the first version of Ber-
nails death, that a coroner's jury I'M
paneled by Coroner Dan r. William
son OF Globe, returned verdict of ac-
cidental death.
The first mtimation that Bernal
might have been murdered came when
Willie Stevens, official court inteYpre-
ter for Gila county, told Coroner Viii
hanson that II, the Indian, had told
of watching a white man kill Mexi-
can near the San Carlos bridge, after
which the white man. had removed
the Mexican's body from the roadway
and overturned an automobile on the
PROSTATE form.
