M'DANIELS NOT WANTED,
WIRES PENNA. OFFICERS

What appears to be a rift in the
black clouds which have been lowering
over J. F. McDaniels for the past sew
eral weeks showed up last week when
the Pennsylvania authorities failed to
prove that he was the man who es-
capped from the penitentiary of, that
state some years ago.
1t is impossible to tell what the
next move in the case may be, but
he has evidently been cleared of the
two worst charges against him. The
Alexandria (La.l Daily Town Talk
reviews the present status as follows:
Jesse F. McDaniels, 40, charged
with wife desertion in Rapides parish
and with bigamy in Opelousas, st.
Landry parish, who was conveyed to
Pittsburgh, Pa, several days ago by
officers, as being an escaped convict
from the Pennsylvania state peniten-
tiary and also murderer from Den
yer, Colo, is not the man wanted by
either the Pennsylvania or the Colo
rado authorities, according to a tele-
gram received from VIM. E. Gaffney,
parole officer OF. the Pennsylvania
penitentiary, who came here for Nc
Daniels, which has been received by
Sheriff Downs.
"McDaniels not our man. Send an
officer for him. was the substance
of ) Gaffneyas message to Sheriff
Downs.

MEET WILLIAM THE THIRD

Telegrams received in Flagstaff
announce the advent of William Cady,
third, at Pasadena hospital, Pasadena,
Calf, on the last day of February.
The kilograms were sent by his dad,
William the second, general manager
of the Flagstaff Lumber Co. 1t is
assumed that William the first, boss
of the w. M. Cady Lumber Co. of
McNary, hasn't been left to get his
first inkling of the news from The
Sun.
The fond dad got home to Flagstaff
Wednesday, hitting on all eight, every
tooth showing in the most amiable
grin mortal ever wore. Acts like he
IS all puffed up. Hope he can get his
mind on the clay birds Sunday long
enough to be as big credit to his
son as he often has been in the past
to his little daughter.

RICHARDSON MAKING IMPROVE
MENTS AT HIS LODGE RESORT

S. I. Richardson was in from his
Rainbow lodge the first of the week.
Mr.. Richardson is expecting a large
increase in the travel to that section
the coming season and is enlarging
his buildings and accommodations to
be in position to take care of a larger
number than heretofore.
The trip to Rainbow lodge can be
made easily by auto. Visitors are
then taken from the lodge to Rain
bow bridge on horses, with Homer
Arm as head packer The route
from Flagstaff is by way of Tuba
City and Red Lake, and Mr.. Richard
son says there is absolutely no other
way to get into that country, which
is the widest, roughest and most
scenic in the United States.

charge of wife desertion, with which
he was held in Rapides, is not suffi-
GENTLY serious to justify him in put
ting the parish to the expense OF. send
ing to Pennsylvania to return him
here.
The sheriff, however, announces
that he and Deputy Sheriff O'Malley
have taken the matter up with Sheriff
Thibodeaux and District Attorney Lee
Garland, of Opelousas, where the ac-
cused is charged with bigamy, and
that it is possible that the St. Landry
authorities will send for him. Sheriff
Downs says he has advised Sheriff
Thibodaux to Immediately make APP
plication for the necessary extradition
papers, which will be necessary in or
der to bring McDaniels back to Louis
lana.
Sheriff Downs does not understand
why the Pennsylvania officers could
have been so badly mistaken in their
man, as he says they were absolutely
confident during their stay in Alexan-
.dria that he was not only the escaped
convict from the Pennsylvania, peni-
tentiary, but also the Colorado mur-
der for whom a reward of $4,000 had
been offered.
McDaniels, it is charged, married a
number of wives, in widely separated
sections of the country, from whom
he had never been divorced. He has,
however, been made free from his
latest wife, who lives in Flagstaff.

ACROSS RANCH TO
TAKE CARE OF TOURISTS

On Monday, Lees Ferry was repre-
esnted in town by Owen Clark, for
merly ferryman on the Colorado
river; James Klore, government gaug-
err; Jerry Jonson, farmer and Bob
Mathe, cow waddie on the original
John D. Lee ranch. They were in for
supplies for the Across ranch, owned
by Wilson and Cross, across the cam
yon at the ferry.
They report that plans are being
made for the converting of the old
Across cattle ranch into a modern
dude ranch, from which sightseeing
trips can be made to the reservation,
Indian villages and Rainbow Natural
bridge. Outfits are scouting out the
springs and camping sites suitable for
night camps on the way to these
points. 1t is hoped to secure boats
with which to go up the river to the
mouth of Rainbow canyon, from
which a hike of four miles will take
one to the bridge. Improvements in
the original ranch house are going on
now and new cottages and extensions
are being made. When the new trail
near Ell Tovar into the canyon is done
and the county trail repaired and the
new trail out Bright Angel creek on
the north made, there will be won
derfully scenic route into the Kaibab
and back by way of Lees Ferry and

Battle Harbor, lsssts stopping place
of the Macmillan Arctic expedition on
the mainland of North America. a
small fishing village onsthe east coast
of Labrador. is few miles north OF
the Strait of Belle Isle, a region well
known to transatlantic voyaEers by
the ST. Lawrence routeA" says the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Clouds and mist often obscure the
coast line in this region, where the
hills and mountains rise rapidly from
the sea. On clear days the great
domes of gray rock stand out against
the grayer sky, thir tops often COW
cred with patches of snow and ice,
even in Summer. On cNear days, too,
hundreds of icebergS can be seen
along the coast at this point, huge
masses of compact ice and snow, born
of a parent glacier in the Far North
and beautiful beyond description in
their glittering whiteness, marvellous
in their changing colors.
Glacial Dumping Ground.
Ever since the days of Cartwright
and other early explorers of the st,
Lawrence region, Battle 1Iarbor has
been frequently mentioned as port
of call or provision point. Although
the coast of Labrador is frnged with
tected by numerous islands, the water
along the island fringe, which in
places is something like an archipel-
ago, is shallow. This region was once
the terminal morain. or dumping
ground. of huge glaciers from the in
land ice cap. The runs or passages
into the deep, shut-in harbors are
drowned Valleys formerly with run
ming streams in them. for the coast
was once higher than IT is now.
The town is a collection of neat
white frame houses. At one time IT
had a highly valuable export trade
in seals. Ten thousands of these val
liable animals were taken in the vicin-
ity in 1874.
Fish From Small Boats.
To-day cod fishing is the main occu-
patton. Many of the fishermen are
too poor to own sailing vessels and
do their fishing from small rowboats,
which they maneuver with great skill
and for long distances without fatigue.

small boats fly through the water at
