Qdl y ~
Sought for more than five years in
connection with the murder here on
September is, 1919, of J. Franklin
Renfro, Denver real estate man, Jes-
sc F. McDaniels, alias G. A. Wilson,
SO years old, is under arrest in Alex
andria, La, dispatch to Capt. Wash
ington A. Rinker, chief of detectives,
announced today.
With this arrest, police officials
here are hopeful that an end has been
made to one of the most extensive
hunts for a fugitive the local depart
ment has ever conducted.
The Identification of the Louisiana
prisoner, police said today, was large
" due to the quick eye of Sergt. Har-
old Axtell, in charge of the bureau of
Identification of the Denver police de-
partment.
Several days ago, reading a news
paper from Alexandria, Axtell noticed
an article concerning the arrest of q
man named McDaniels in the southern
city.
He dug into the police files and de-
cided McDaniels is the man wanted
here. He then laid the case before
Captain Rinker, who at once notified
Sheriff u. t. Downs of Alexandria to
hold McDaniels for further investiga-
ton.
Word was received from Sheriff
Downs today that the man tallies ex-
actly with the picture sent from Den
yer, that his Identification marks are
the same, and asking that someone
be sent from here at once to complete
the Identification.

WE SHOULD WORRY

City Clerk Clarence T. Pulliam is
still awaiting word from the Denver
purchasers of the $475,000 Flagstaff
water bonds to bring them to Denver.
The latter are awaiting the final ap-
proval of the bonds and the entire pro-
cedure from their attorneys, who gave
preliminary approval. In the mean
time, until the bonds are in the hands
Of the buyers, interest at the rate of
$76 day is accruing on them to the
credit of Flagstaff. So, why worry
over few days delay?

deputy Chlet Engineer DIR. l.. L.
Hines of the u. S. bureau of public
roads, in company with j. S. Bright,
construction engineer and S. S.
Wheeler, district engineer, of Phoenix
were in Flagstaff Thursday for the
purpose of inspecting the Flagstaff
Angel forest highway project now
under construction by the bureau.
The present contract, which pro-
vides for the grading of 231a miles
and the laying of 41a miles of base
course of macadam surfacing has been
delayed on account of weather condi-
tions, but surfacing will be resumed
not later than April 1.
Mr. Wheeler is preparing for i'm
mediate maintenance of about 10 miles
of completed grade and reshaping of
the remaining IA miles so as to ham
die traffic through the dead period
between closing down and reopening
work.
There is being programmed for the
surfacing of this project the amount
Of Sl56,000 to become available July
/, 1925. This surfacing viii be ma
cadam, 6 inches thick and 1S feet
wide. This will be followed by an oil
mat in 1927, as further funds become
available. This will cost $4,000. This
work is all being done by the q. S.
bureau of public roads, Mr.. Wheeler
advises.
Study was made of the quantity and
quality of quarries along the project,
with view to selecting the most dur
able stone available. 1t is believed

the nomination too. Jay M. Gates
of the Kingman club, also present, an
nounced that it would be his pleasure
to convey the news to his club, which
undoubtedly will be in hearty accord.
Mr.. Koch is popular throughout the
entire district. AS one of the charter
members of this club, and past presi-
dent, he has done wonders. for Rotary
here, giving time, thought and money
to the development of this club to its
best and fullest possibilities, and also
has been active in promoting the
growth and Importance of Rotary
throughout the state, especially in the
northern counties.
At the Tucson conference two years
ago Mr.. Koch was practically nomin-
ated for the governorship of this dis
trict, which then included Arizona,
New Mexico and west Texas. But he
then asked that his name be with
drawn because at that time he did not
feel that he could give the work all of
the time it should have. Now, how
ever, he feels that he is in a position
to and the announcement that he
would accept the place if elected at
the Phoenix conference in annual con-
ference in March, was received with
pleasure here as no doubt it will be
throughout the entire district.
Mr.. Koch is vice-president and
manager of the Arizona Lumber &
Timber Co.

This is the end of the first week of the picture-story of David Copper field" Children who cut out the pictures every day will soon have whole set of David Copperfield dolls, Watch for more of this story next week.
 Peggotty told David that his mother, too. was going away on a visit and when David heard this he was very anxious to go with Peg gotty to visit her brother at Tar mouth.
 They planned to leave in three days and it seemed as If the time would never come. David was ss anxious to get started early in the morning that he wanted to dress the night before and wrap himself in 8 blanket and sleep in his hat and boots. But, of course, his mother and Peggotty would not hear of such a thing.
 Very early in the morning the carriers cart was at the door. At the last Davy felt very sorry to leave his mother. It was the first time he had ever been away from her in all his life.

 "I hadn't thought anything about it." replied Mrs. Timmy. but now you speak of it I have noticed him around. Do you suppose he Is living over here in the Green Forest now instead of the Old Orchard I hope not. for my children will soon be taking their first lessons in jumping and goodness knows there is danger enough without having Spooky around"
 Little Mrs. Whitefoot sighed. Don't I know it?" said she. "I have six children of my own, and like your children they will soon be getting their first lessons out in the Great World. It is bad enough 10 know that Hoty the Great Horned Owl is likely to appear at any moment, but for a long time I haven't worried about Spooky. That little robber has spent most of his time over in the Old Orchard, I can't think what has brought him over here unless he has somehow learned tFat Whitefoot and I are living in this part of the Green Forest"
 Well, all of us will have to keep an extra careful watch declared Mrs Timmy. If we help each other by giving each other warning, as good neighbors should. we probably will be able 10 fool him. Anyway it may be that he has just happened around few times, Now I must get this beetle up to my babies I expect there'l he a regular fight for it. What 2 lot of care these darling are.

 "All rules go by the board with her" she said. The joke of the thing Is that sbs really does sleep as well after It."
 Better Lillian insisted. Now while I'm slipping this drop by drop 10 make it last, show Katherine that card, and tell her about it. Then you can tuck 1t away under my mattress again, and get you 10 your bedroom"
 explained hurriedly to Katherine for I was afraid that Lillian would become too excited to sleep if we mulled over the card and the code much longer. And then more fatigued than l would have liked either of them to know. l hurried 10 my own room and threw myself dressed as I was on the bed, to sleep dreamlessly until broad day light. Then Katie's voice outside, wakened me.
 "lsS Somebody Dead?'
 "Oh-h Meesis Graham!" she ex- claimed wde-eyed when l had admitted her, Somebody on tele- phone say he telegraph man, Vot you tink? Somebody dead?
 No Katie" l treasured her quickly. 'I am expecting this tele- gram. I'll be right down."
 Had our message finally reached notifying us that he could not be found? I realized that my nerves had been badly shaken by the de- lay when I took down the receiver and found my hands trembling visi- bly. But the message steadied me.

 Shall I repeat the telegram over when I receive it?" the competent voice of the operator asked. "I have the original here, you know which you checked with me. No" I directed quickly. Please check it and wire back any discrepancy. I shall be down early this morning. and can look it over then"
 With hands that were steadler now, l put up the receiver and hurried to my own room where Katherine was caring for Fanny Powell,
 'Is Lillian awake?" I asked. I've heard from that telegram, and she ought 10 know about it as soon as possible, but don't want 10 disturb her"

 It was cold out of doors. Carlot- ta's lips were quite blue as they hur- ried down the Boardwalk toward the dress shop in the Marlborough Blenheim.

 May gave this sober thought for long moment. She had spent all most half of her SS,00o in the two short weeks she had had it. At this rate. 1t wouldn't last long
 Oh, well, what was the differ ence? She had made up her mind to spend every cent she had in the world on husband-hunting And she wasn't going to change her program now. when Herbert Waterbury was almost in her net,

 Not Jack Darnley, the drop kicker?" asked May who never read the woman's page of the newspap. CTS, but knew the name of every fa- nous baseball, football. and golf player In the country.
 The boy flushed little under his pallor and shifted uneasily.
