But Granny did not answer this; in

she quietly asked him what spy
really was.

answer, land just as he, using his pre-
tended love for the Master used 1t to
betray Him, so has this other used his
religion to betray his king and coun-

ERIC DENVER, PIONEER
HERE, BURIED SUNDAY

Eric Denver of Bellemont died
Thursday night at his ranch home
from pneumonia. Tuesday he was in
Flagstaff. Wednesday he had slight
chill, and Thursday morning his SON,
Elias, found him unconscious. He be-
came rapidly worse until 10 o'clock
that night, when he died. He was
never sick in bed before in his life.
Eric Denver was born in Sweden
near Stockholm So years ago. He
came to America when % years old
and arrived in Flagstaff in 1882, when
he hauled ties for the railroad then
building. Two years later he filed on
the homestead in Bellemont where he
had lived ever since-42 years. Twen-
ty-eight years age ne married, in
Flagstaff, Julia Claywood of Missouri.
They had two children, son, Elias,
who made his home with him on the
ranch, and who was with him at the
end, and daughter, Mrs. Carl Her
ring of Phoenix. Her husband hap
pened to arrive Thursday morning, the
day of Mr.. Denver's death. Mrs. Her
ring came Friday evening
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon from the Flagstaff Undertaking
parlors, Rev. Fl. F. Softley conducting
the services. Interment was in Citi-
zens' cemetery. The pail bearers were
old-time neighbors and friends-Tom
McWilliams, Delbert Thompson, Mar
Gus, Cicero and Smith Shelton and Mr.
Brandt of Bellemont
The Denver farm in Bellemont is
one of the best developed in this sec
tion of the country, due to the indus
try and thrift of its owner. That his
neighbors were his best friends is a
tribute to his integrity of character.
He built the Ideal hotel in Flagstaff
and for several years until recently
had spent his winters in town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herring will remain
on the farm until after harvest.

EDITORS CAN'T FORGET
THEIR HOME TOWN EVEN
WHEN ON A VACATION

Editor candy" Anderson of the
Miami Bulletin accompanied by Mrs.
Anderson, was in Flagstaff Tuesday
for a short time on their way to Nor
mon lake. They came in from the
east, having fished out that section of
the country. Rain wore holes III their
rain coats so candy" AYERS in his hard
luck story. He got a pinch bite
last year without a license and had to
be bailed out even in dry weather.
This year with his license on his per-
son he hadn't landed fish, SO far,
probably because he keeps his license
so prominently in view that even a
sucker" could know. his desperate
purpose.
If his friends down Miami way do
not hear from him in a reasonable
length of time they will know he is
stuck in the mud between here and
Mormon lake fishing his bus out of
mud hole. He bought new skid
chains, but, being out of luck the
chances are that he will lose 'em on
the way to the nofth's greatest fish
pond So far Andy says he has not
missed one rain or a damp bad road
on the journey.
It only stops raining when he Aolds
up for the day. Even if water won't
work at Miami they don't seem to
know how to VanDyke it here, Andy
solemnly announces. He denies the
report that he is running the city
council at Miami or contemplates run
ming for the council, but cid suggest
that Miami was one of the best min
ing towns in the state. Few people
fully realize how an editor has to
boost his town while away on vaca-
tion. He made up his 73rd consecu-
tive attendance at Rotary and it took
four men to hold him down when
some local Rotarian suggested the
Flag club was sort of superior af-
fair.

DUDE RANCH AND HOTEL
FOR TOURISTS AT TUBA

The newest H&Iist accessory to be
added to Flag taff's attractions will
be an up-to-dats tourist hotel and
dude ranch at Tuba City, "The Gate
way to the Navajo Country" An in
terest in the Tuba City Trading COM
pany was bought last week from Bah
bitt Bros Trading Co., by Smith and
Stiles, who will remodel the building,
build additional rooms in the annex,
bring in saddle horses, and fit up the
place for conducting a model dude
ranch and tourist hotel.
Conveniently located, as it is within
reach of most Of the points of interest
on the desert and. reservation, this
will be a logical departure station
Indian villages, Rainbow bridge, Pre-
historic ruins, Painted ddesert and
the Grand canyon are few places
easily reached from here.
The new managers took charge on
the first of this month and expect to
have complete facilities for running
on large scale by next spring. The
oddly constructed post, octagonal In
shape, with its high windowless walls,
built like fort, of interest itself, will
be used as before for the trading post,
and in charge of j. B. Stiles, formerly
Winslow cattleman and for some
time in command at one of the Hub
bell Indian trading posts on the reser-
walton.
Jess Smith will conduct the saddle
post and be official guide for parties
seeing the country. For some time
past Mr.. Smith has travelled with the
Zane Grey parties on their travels
through the west in the capacity OF
guide and friend. His father was a
cattleman in this district for many
years. He is particularly well fitted
for this position. Mrs. Smith, the
artist, who is cousin of Zane Grey
will look after the hotel end Of the
business. Additional rooms will be
built on the annex at the rear, making
is rooms in all. The large wool room
attached to the rear Of the post will
be made over into hotel lobby, which
Mrs. Smith will personally decorate

FLAGSTAFF HOWITZER co.
WINS HIGH HONORS AT
SU M MER ENCAMPMENT

Ask one of the Flagstaff Howitze1
company, national guard, whether he
wants nice chaw of castor bean root
and see the face he makes up.
The boys got home Monday morning
from summer encampment, hale,
hearty, happy and bronzed from two
weeks at Camp. Geo. w. p. Hunt, two
miles from TT. Huachuhua, down near
the Mexican border.
Flagstaff Howitzer company, of the
II companies of the 158th infantry A.
N. g., summer-encamped there, was
awarded the merit flag on Saturday
inspection by General Kinds.
Speaking of castor beans: the regi-
ment was out on strategy work and
while the officers and non-coms were
atop hill working out a problem, the
men got to digging with their bayon-
cts. They found lot of castor bean
root and, supposing it was sweet po-
tato root, ate it. Flagstaff Howitzer
company, having no bayonets, had to
wait while for their feed and as a
result many of our men didn't get
their fill.
On the way back to camp the men
began falling out of ranks. 1t was
worse than seasickness, but the ply
sical reaction was the same. With his
rifle for the rail of the ship, a poor
fellow would lean over it and give up
all he'd eaten and drunk that was still
available. Men were left lying in the
grass until ambulances could be sent
out after them. Flagstaff men all
stayed in ranks until after a gas test,
when lot of them also fell out. There
were 100 sick men, few who were
most sick being taken to the post hos
pital. About 20 of the Flagstaff
bunch were affected. But none of the
men were out more than "a hours.
There were six rifle, one howitzer,
two headquarters and two machine
gun companies in camp, under general
command of Col. Power Conway and
Lieut.-Col. Harry B. Embach. Flag
staff Howitzer company, leaving here
with 45 enlisted men and two officers
Lieut.. I. w. Hendrick and Second
Lieut.. Frank Conrard, enlisted two
more men in Phoenix.
Lieut.-Col. Harry Embach got back
to Flagstaff Tuesday morning, proud
of the national guard of the state and
especially proud of the Flagstaff boys,
his especial prOteges.
