CASE OF FLAGSTAFF VS..
BONDING COMPANY NOW
UP in U. S. DISTRICT COURT

Again the claim of Victor Gomez
against the city of Flagstaff comes
to the front; this time in suit, the
trial Of which began yesterday in
Phoenix before U. S. District Judge
Guaranty company.
Gomez has judgment for more
than $4,000 against Flagstaff, still
to be satisfied, as the result of the
drowning of his little daughter in an
open sewer ditch here. The defend
ant in the present suit was the bonds
man of the sewer contractor.
City Attorney f. w. Perkins has
gone to Phoenix. County Attorney
Frank Harrison, formerly city attor-
ney; City Clerk Clarence I. Pulham;
Capt. j. B. Wright, former city engi-
neer, and Mrs. j. j. Britt are wit
nesses.
Gomez was arrested a few days
ago by Sheriff j. 0. Parsons, who
found five gallons of hooch under a
woodpile at Gomez's house. Gomez had
been selling wood from the pile and
after duly inspecting the well-worn
path to the cache, Parsons deduced he
may have been selling hooch, also,
something he had been arrested for
more than once in the past. Parsons
also found 10-gallon milk can still.
He turned Gomez over to Deputy u.
S. Marshal Billy Rudd, who took him
before u. S. Commissioner Tom L.
Rees on Monday, the latter holding
him over for trial in U. S. district
court.
If the case now pending in congress
to deport aliens after two convictions
becomes a law, Parsons says he'll
know what to do with Gomez.

THE MEMBERS LADIES

Friday was ladies day at the Hiram
club and quite a number of the mem
bers brought their wives with them
Those who had no better halves
brought other lady friends, and with
Alex Johnston as chairman of the day
a very enjoyable hour was spent.
Chairman Johnston had gone to the
trouble to ascertain from each lady
why she enjoyed having her husband
a member of the Hiram club and many
of the answers were instructive and
showed much thought.
A resolution opposing the establish
ment of a state park at Mormon lake
was presented by Frank NJ Gold and
after discussion was passed unani-
mously and copies will be forwarded
to this county's representative in the
state and national law-making bodies.
A musical number by Mrs. Ernest

maker of the Normal school, was an
outstanding feature of the program.
Frank NJ. Gold will be chairman at
today's meeting.
