EXECUTIVE BOARD OF
SCOUTS MEET IN WINSL0W

The executive board of Grand Cam
yon council boy scouts will meet in
Winslow on Friday, the 9th of this
month. The Winslow district COM
mittee entertained the board last year
and it was a meeting long to be re-
membered. Flagstaff has four men
on the executive board and they are
planning to attend the mteting. Chair
man of camping committee, Ed Bah

ing on the summer camping program,

broken by the terrific impact. An
Elgin watch on his person was still
running and the crystal was not
broken.
A party of about Is men was re-
quired to haul Thompson's body to the
rim and the rescuers had to walk be-
meath the rim to below Verkamp's
store before they could be brought
out.
A hastily gathered coroneps jury
under Justice Of Peace Ed Hamilton,
brought in a suicide verdict, due
largely to the fact that Thompson
placed all valuables and automobile
keys in his overcoat pocket and re-
moved the coat before making the fa-
tai leap 1t was also reported but not
verified that Thompson said God
bless my children" as he went over
the aim.
The deceased leaves two children in
Rifle, Colo. His wife died several
weeks ago. The body was sent to
Kansas City for interment.
The Coconino sun., 1925-03-20

Thompson motored to Grand Canyon
with two friends. Arriving about
noon the party went walking along
the Rim path toward Grandeur point.
About quarter mile from FL Tovar
hotel, Thompson paused and called
Miss Vivian Hesse of Winslow to take
his picture. The camera caught him
in the act of going backward with
arms outthrown and eyes closed.
The body struck a ledge about a
hundred feet down, rebounded and
finally lodged on the edge of the
white wall, 700 feet below the rim.
Garage Foreman L. NJ. Ennis and
Lester C1avey, guide, got the first re-
port of the happening and rushed to
the spot with ropes. After a few
thrilling moments and narrowly es-
Gaping falling over the 600-foot white
wall, Ennis and Cravey reached
Thompson, who was dead on their ar

COMPROMISE IN SUIT
FOR DIVORCE ENDS THIS
TERM SUPERIOR COURT

Superior court, spring term, which
was expected to last nearly all the rest
of this week, suddenly ended on
Wednesday morning when compro-
mise was effected in the Thomasson
divorce case.
Part of the testimony had been
taken. Then plaintiffs attorneys,
Frank NJ. Gold and E. r. Byers, and
defendants attorney, x. N. Sleeves,
got together.
Mrs. Walter Thomasson of Red
Lake had sued for divorce. Her hus-
band had filed answer and cross-com-

markable strength throughout the
tournament.
To reach the finals the ST. Johns
boys stiffened their defense against
Clarkdale. The latter crew did not
get started until the second quarter.
Black was not able to do any often
sive team work with his running for
ward, being forced to shoot the pei
let from long range. The score at
the intermission stood 13 to 10 in fa-
vor Of ST. Johns. Coach Goodsall was
unable to put club on the floor that
could work together. In the last half
st. Johns easily sewed up the game
by clever floor passing and some
brilliant shooting under the basket and
from the side.
At nine o'clock Saturday night the
stage was set for the big event of
the tournament-the boys final be
tween st. Johns and Jerome. The
crowd became Wild with enthusiasm,
anxiously waiting for the referee to
signal for the first tip Off
At the end of the first quarter the
score read 8 to in favor of Jerome.
At no time during this fast and fur

failed to show its usual brilliant brand
Of ball in the initial quarter against
the Mormons, and did not shoot with
accustomed accuracy.
In the second quarter, with Dlcus
and Connelley breaking loose for
Jerome, the offense of the Mormons
seemed to crack, and these two stel-
lar boys ran Jerome's total to II tai
lies in quick order. Gibbons and the
Overson boys broke through Jerome's
defense and completed some beautiful
overland shots, running their teams
total to 10 points at the end of the
half.
Although the ball was moving
around at lively clip in the third
quarter, Jerome did not get within
easy range of its basket the first five
minutes of play. The Jerome boys
seemed a bit nervous and were foull
ing continuously. Bish was replaced
by Riordan. Gibbons of St.Johns fall
ed to score from the tape. Platt
started the ball rolling with a nifty
shot under the basket. Referee Brock
called a technical foul on Jerome and
warned Captain Dicus that he would
be put out of the game if he con-
tinued to criticize the decisions. In
the very next play jerome was called
for foul. Captain Dicus again crti-
cized Brooks decision and was order
ed out of the game. Upon advice of
Coach. Kerr, Dicus would not leave
the floor, contending that he had a
right to talk back to the officials by
virtue of his position as captain. Ref
